CITY AND DISTRICT.
TWO FULL MOONS.
Unusual Occurrence Astronomical
Feature of the Month.


The phenomena of two full moons are
features OF the present month, according
to local astronomers. This occurs when
the moon is opposite the sun twice in
one month, and then its entire hemisphere
may be seen like a round disc, which is
called the full moon. when it can be seen
coming up in the eastern horizon like a
great cheese This satellite was opposite
the earth, and therefore full August l
at nine hours and fourteen minutes. 1t
will again be IN a similar position August
80, at seventeen hours seven minutes and
eight seconds.
The moon being an opaque body, 1t can
be seen only as the light of the sun illum-
mates 1t, and in its revolution with the
earth around the sun the different phases
are presented.
1t is said that the legend of the man
In the moon,'' or the woman In the
moon," or any of the myth-making fea-
tures and fancies about the curious spots
on the face of the moon can be seen to
much better advantage in the second full
moon in the same month.
Regarded as the most charming of all
the moon legends is that of the Greeks.
who called the moon Selene, and said
that she fell in love with the beautiful
youth Endymion as he lay asleep on a
mountain in Ellis.
All the strange spots on the face of a
full moon, the source of all the luna
legends, disappeared when Calico, in 1910,
turned his telescope at her. They turned
out to be mountains, hills and plains.

unity to the Orr public school building

With view to deyising plan whereby

missioners; Daniel f. Garges, chief clerk
of the engineer department, and Walter
c. Allen, electrical engineer.
Much Time Lost.
1t has been recognized for some time
at the District building that much time
was lost in the reference of correspond
ence from one department to another
under the present system. When letter
is received by one member of the board
of Commissioners he refers It to the head
of department direc., If it affects de-
partment under his charge. or to col
league, if it affects department not i'm
mediately under his charge. In the lat
ter case the colleague refers it to the
head of ,he department concerned. and
the head of department. in turn, refers 1t
TO the particular employe familiar with
the subject To get back to the Com
missioner who is to answer tie letter or
o the secretary to the Commissioners
the communication and the reports Of the
several officials on ii it must go through
reverse process.
The committee on changes in the
method of. handling correspondence and
records, with view to eater efficiency
ard promptness. hopes to be able to sug-
ges, to the Commissioners some means
by which a letter received in the morn
ing can be answered before the close of
business the same day. Just how that
can be best accomplished Is the subject
OF much discussion every time the COM
mittee meets: but several pans are under
consideration and one efficient one is ex-
pected to be evolved.

DIVER HAS BAD SCARE.
Thought He Saw Shark, But Finds
It Was a Sturgeon.

The catching of COW sturgeon near
the Indian Head proving ground few
days ago explained the scare experienced
by a seaman gunner, who was being
given instructions in work beneath the
surface of the water. Donning his diving
suit, the young man was lowered 10 the
bottom of the river. He remained only
few seconds before he pulled the rope
to signal those above that he was In dis
treSS
AS quickly as possible the gunner was
brought to the surface and his headgear
removed.
What's the trouble?" was the inquiry
made of him.
"A shark he gasped.
"A WHAT" asked one of his rescuers.
showing his surprise. Did you say
shark
The gunner said he had seen an un-
usually big sea monster in the water and
he could see no reason why he should
remain in danger.
Sharks don't inhabit fresh water he
was told, 80 you need not be afraid on
that score" But the young man
thought dry land was good enough for
him that day.
The next day the COW sturgeon was.
landed in a net. The seaman gunner
was sent for and he readily admitted
that the fish in the net was the one he
had seen in the river the day be.ore.
