the last 80 years, The rate of APP
proach of the axis of the earth
to the direction of the Star of the
North is between 1876 and 1871
seconds of arc per year And this
degree of accuracy in extremely
minute measurement has ELECTED
the admiration of all students OF
the magnificent laws of Nature.
The motion is that of the en-
tire globe-the which
makes its axis appear to sweep
around in a colossal circle A de-
grees in diameter in the Annus

Therefore the star must actually
pass once above and once below
