but whoever expects to do so soon
will grow sick at heart over hope
deferred. Governor Stevenson will
serve his term out if he wants to,
and will be succeeded by an eastern
aspirant. If the Democrats pre-
dictions should prove true it will
"maketh sick" the hearts of many
applicants for the position now
warmed by Governor Stevenson
especially the "would-be" governors
hailing from HALEY. But our dem
ocratic friends now holding office
better not be too sanguine of hay

THE TOTAL ECLIPSE

Astronomers from Harvard have
gone to California with all the nee
essary apparatus to make prepara-
tons for observing the total solar
eclipse which is due on New

tude is 1000 feet above the sea level.
1t is about 200 miles from San
Francisco. The telescopes are
thirteen inches in diameter. They
will be taken for while to Wilson's
peak, in southern California, after
which they will be taken to Peru
and placed in permanent observ-
atory that is to be established
there by Harvard University, to CO.
operate in the southern hemisphere
with the observatory in Cambridge.
The total eclipse Of the sun on jan

California, just north of San Fran
cisco, and thence northeastward
through Dakota and Montana,
nearly to Hudson Bay, and as a
partial eclipse elsewhere in the
