 Fourteenth street was crowded from the monument grounds up to F street with a mass of humanity. all gazing skyward and waiting. Every window in onice buildings that permitted a free view of the monument were lined with watchers, many with glasses. The fact that it was a haxy day and the small speck was frequently ob- scured by clouds led many to believe that 1t had vanished up or down and prolonged the neck straining pro- cese
