School Trustees Must Take the
Oath

The opinion of Attorney General John
p Poe, given In response TO the request
Of the State board of education, has been
sent to the county school commissioners
of the State by Prof. e. B. Prettyman,
secretary of the board. Dir. Poe says:
81 see no reason why district school
trustees should be excused from taking
the oath of office prescribed by the con-
stitution. They are undoubted officers
appointed under a law made pursuant
TO the constitution and the general regu-
lation requiring every person hereafter
elected or appointed TO Office in this
State to take the oath of Office, plainly
includes them. Section 10. article ~. of
the code, as amended and re enacted by
the act of 1892. chapter 53S, does not
provide by whom the oath shall be adj
ministered TO them, no repeal, either In
express terms or by implication, Sec
tions @ and OF article 20 of the code,
title Official Oaths.' and accordingly l
am of opinion that the district school
trustees should take and subscribe the
oath before the clerk of the Circuit Court
of the several counties, as provided by
section of that article"

Mars and His Moons.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
There have recently appeared two or three ex-
tracts containing mention of the planet Mars
and his satellites in The EVENING STAR.
In ali of these extracts the statement has been
made that these little moons have been observed
only once, and that at their time of discovery in
August. 1877.
The satellites of Mars. the inner one named
FhObos the outer one Deimos. were discovered
by Prof. Asaph Hall with the twenty-six-inch
telescope of the naval observatory.
The outer one was first seen on the night of
August IL; the inner on the night of August
II. 1877.
One or both Of these satellites have been OBJ
served by the professor ut each opposition of
Mars since date of discovery. that is in the
years 1879. 1881, 1884. 1886. 1885, 1880 and 1892.
In the edition of The STAR for August ] there
appeared a dispatch from Rochester. n. Y,
stating that the satellites had been aeen by d.
2. Todd and DR.. Swift of the Warner observa-
tory, and that this is the first time that they
have ever been seen by any telescope in the
state Of New York.
This statement must be contradicted. for in
the satellites with the twelve-inch refractor
then owned by the latter and now on Mount
Hamilton. Prof. Holden saw the outer one
with the ten-inch equatorial located at the
United States Military Academy at West Point.
and Prof. Boss il with the thirteen-inch re-
tractor of the Dudley observatory at Albany,
NY.
