Moon and Sun Eclipses.

The total eclipse of the moon Thurs
day eve ening June 8, was seen by
many in this section. On Thursday
June II, Ito -morroy) an eclipse of the
sun will be visible, beginning at about
Z O'Clock in the evening.
Prof. John A. Brashear o.. .Pittsbnrg,
Penn, in a signed statement says that
this eclipse of the sun will be unlike
any other eclipse within the know
ledge of man. In part Professor Bras
hear says:s
"The eclipse will be of a very inter-
esting character from the fact that for
a few seconds it will be annular
eclipse, then change to total eclidse,
then back to annular eclipse for the
second time.
'The writer cannot find record of
snch an occurrence in any history of
astronomy, although we have records
of annual eclipses for 400 years and
OF total eclipse for tt ousands of years
The eclipse as partial phase of great
er or lesser magnitude will sweep
over the North American continent
from the north, decreasing in size as
it passes down through Canada and
the states.
''The central line of totality COM
mences southeast of Tonsk, in Sibe
rian Russia, courses only few miles
south of the North Pole Of the earth,
skirts the east coast of Greenland,
where totality ends near sunset"
