Astronomical assurance from the Enid
Wave: A large black cavity appeared on
the surface of the sun last week and Il is
still on. The spot is $500 miles long and

excitement throughout the world among
the supersuuous, but the Intelligent class
feareth nothing as the sun has been In the
habit Of showing big black cavities for
thousands Of years without interfering with
the heat or light. Yesterday was the best
time to look al IL, In the forenoon, as 1t
disappears about 4 o'clock In the after
neon as the earth rsvolves on its axis.
