be safer. few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:

Vivekanandi addressed her politely
in Hindustanee, and for his pains was
rewarded by stare of blank astonish-

no better success, and also the several

make the astronomical calculations
which 1t is expected will be 30 valuable

1t may seem rather early to begin to
take observations now for an event
that will not occur within the next three
years. but the government will begin
TO take observations May 18th, and con-
tinue until the same date in the month
Of June.
These observations will be for the
purpose of determining the best points
at which to establish permanent sta
lions. where the final observations will
be taken during the eclipse Of 1900.
The path of the total eclipse will ex-
