ECLIPSE OF SUN
WILL BE SEEN
Visible in Occur d'Alene Thurs
day from 3:45 to 5:45 p. NJ
Prepare Smoked Glass.

The eclipse Of the sun, visible In
Occur d'Alene and Kootenai County,
on June II, from 3:45 till 5:14
o'clock will appear here only
as a partial eclipse visible with the
aid of smoked glass. The sun will
have about one-fourth Of its surface
covered by the moon.
Eclipses of the sun are rare, being
visible over but small area of the
earth's surface. To those who have
a small telescope the eclipse will APP
pear as beautiful phenomenon, the
sunspots being clearly visible with
the aid of smoked glass. However,
care must be exercised in the use
of a telescope as the heat of the
sun condensed by the lens may burn
the delicate retina of the eye, result
Ing in serious, If not permanent in
jury.
To the users of telescopes the
mountains ON the moon will appear
in bold relief against the bright pho
tosphere of the sun. In the line of
tOtality, passing through Siberia and
the northern part of North America,
the magnificent solar flames will APP
pear during the total phase of the
eclipse. These are only visible to
the naked eye at such times, though
with the aid of spectroscope at
tached to the telescope, they may be
seen or photographed at any time.
Complete Photographic records of
the suns face, showing the sunspots,
and of the edge showing the prom
mems, or red flames, are now taken
daily in many of the large observa-
tories in this country as we'll as in
Europe. This line of work is new
in astronomy, it-being but recently
that this method was possible, due to
modern apparatus.
In olden times these eclipses were
watched with awe, many times they
being considered as presaging raw
ages of disease or famine. Colum-
bus once used a partial eclipse of the
moon to his advantage while in the
West Indies. At recent total eclipse
Of the sun, visible in Egypt, a party
Of astronomers located a comet near
the sun, but after the eclipse no trace
Of the wanderer could be found, SO
In all probability it is lost forever.
Eelipses are perhaps one of the
best known astronomical phenomena,
Il being possible by the aid of higher
mathematics to accurately predict
them for many hundreds of years to
come. They are also valuable as a
means for studying the sun and moon
and accurately determining certain
factors which daily enter into as
Economical calculations.
Where the eclipses are favorably
visible thousands OF dollars are
spent in sending out parties for the
accurate observations of the phenom-
eha, both usually, photographically
and with the aid of a speetroscope.
he latter instrument enables the as
fOnomer to learn the constituents of
ne sun, or any object observed.
nus it is know nthat nearly every
eement known on the earth also
eompOses the sun.

BIG FUND FOR
CELEBRATION
Committee Work for Fourth Of
July Is Progressing
FavoPably.

The committee which has been en-
gagged in canvassing the city for the
purpose of securing the necessary
fuds for the celebration of Independ-
ence day on July 5 and 6, has now
succeeded in raising the sum OF ST.
500. In the event that the celebra-
ton is to be carried out on the NAM
moth plan decided upon at least
$500 more will be necessary to COW
er the expense and the prizes award
ed, but the committee anticipates no
trouble in securing this additional
amount as sentiment in general is in
favor OF the celebration and every
one visited by the committee has
willingly donated. II the plans of
the committee are carried out the
celebration will be the greatest ever
given in Occur d'Alene as II is ex-
pected that there will be in attend
ance from outside cities fully 10000
people. The committee plans not
only to run excursions from the min
ing country and what is known as the
upp-riyer country, but the Palouse
country as well. and II is believed
that by reason OF the mammoth scale
upon which the celebration will be
carried out, and the two days horse
racing that many people will come
from the towns located in this terri
tory

CEREMONIES OF Pillow MONDAY
Quaint observances That Were Once
Universal in England.

Flowing operations in England do
not commence, as a rule, till the first
Monday after january IL, and for that
reason it is known as Pillow Monday,
states an English writer. For centuries
the formal Inauguration of the blowing
season has taken place on this day, and
even now its quaint observances are
still kept up in some part or other OF
the world
Before the pious ancestors of the
present generation would begin to ca
tiyate the ground, in Catholic times,
they would attend a special service for
the dedication of the plow At this ser
vice the plowmen kept lights burning
before certain images in churches, to
obtain blessing upon their work; and
they were accustomed, on this day, TO
go about in procession, gathering mon
ey for the support of these pillow
lights as they We're called.
After the Reformation the religious
| form of the festival changed. The peas
antry used to arrange big professions
and collect money, which was after
| tic house. 1t assumed quite a gay af-
| fair. A plowman used to dress him
| self up with ribbons and other gaudy
| decorations, as the Fool Plow."
| Thirty or forty companions, wearing
| their shirts over their jackets, and
| their shoulders and hats ablaze with
| highly-colored ribbons, used to draw
the pillow in state through the village
| preceded by one of their number in the
dress of an old woman, nicknamed
| 'Bessy" Any who refused to contribute
] % the funds had their gardens plowed
up. All the demonstrators would &c
through the village with dancing anG
singing. The whole scene was one OF
excited merriment.
Except in few local instances these
quaint observances have passed away
| 3heir places being taken by the more
serious occupation of blowing competi
lions. In the north of England and il
Scotland these contests are very popu
