Is IT THE ALMANAC OR Moon New
moon occurred on the first day of March,
| and the almanac calls for full moon on
the l7th. 1t appears that the time is too
long, as it is not more than 293 days from
one new moon to the next. A prominent
physician of the county contended that
the 18th was the day on which the moon
becomes full, and gave his reason tha,
''the Salem Almanac says so." The stu.
dent Of astronomy upon this authority
caved in. You can't get anyone in this
country to take issue with the Salem
Almanac. But, look here, is there not
something wrong with the moon then
In the words of Prot. Nc Anulty, haiu't it
