Improvements That viii Necessitate
Its Closing.

The New York Tribunes correspondent
at San Francisco writes (April 14) that
"the Lick Observatory at Mount Ham
ilton, which has been open to visitors
for several years, will be closed next
week and will remain closed until the
observatory is formally made over to the
university. Defects in the movable floor
of the dome will be remedied by the use
of four hydraulic rams, which will move
the floor at the rate of foot per minute.
The great telescope and spectroscope
are now in good working order.
"Tbrough the telescope this week have
been observed plainly two moons OF
Mars, which have diameters of only 80
miles. The spectroscope presents a -
foot prismatic ribbon of constituents of
stars The transfer OF the observatory TO
the University, which was to have been
made last June, is still uncertain as to
date. One thing is certain, the institu-

turned over there will not be more than
100000 left This, 6per cent, will realize
$4,000 per year, whereas to keep the OBJ
