The situation changes every hour.
Neither side is sure from one hour to

PENDLETON PEOPLE HAVE GOOD
OPPORTUNITY TO SEE ECLIPSE

At Baker, the point from which
the time of the eclipse is generally
being reckoned, the moon will start
across the face of the sun ut 2:57 p.
M. totality will be reached at 4:O5
and will last ll2 seconds. 1t will
take the same length of time for the
shadow TO completely pass At a
point directly south of Pendleton in
the path of totality the complete
eclipse win be reached from two to
three minutes earlier than at Baker,
The weather prediction for the day
is favorable. Though it says no rain
IL does say partially cloudy. these
will not necessarily blot out the spec
tacle, though they Will mar perfec-
ticn.
For viewing the eclipse the old
method of employing smoked glass
will be generally used, though used
camera plates are advocated by 9TH
ers. None should venture to view
the eclipse with the naked eye or with
any ordinary colored glasses. as risk
is run of serious damage to the vision.

Pioneer Woman Tells
How She Saved Her
Father in Civil War

Mrs. Oswald Douglas. who attended
the pioneer picnic at Weston yester-
day had "A thrilling experience at the
opening Of the civil war. The family
lived in Virginia and her father being
from the north was an ardent Lin
coin man. This caused him to be un-
popular with the Virginians and when
the war broke the members Of the
family feared for the safety OF the
father. They decided to leave and did
so, driving north in a wagon. At one
time anger doomed near and the faith

SUN GAzERS GATHER
AT DENVER TELESCOPE
(By United Press.)

DENVER, June S.-Astronomers
from everywhere are here today to
view the total eclipse of the sun from
the mountain peaks in the vicinity of
Denver.
The telescope at Denver university
is in great demand. because of its ac-
cessibility, but only scientists of high
degree will be privileged to look
through 1t during the afternoon.
Longs peak. in the Rocky Noun
tain National Park, has been picked
as one of the best places in the world
TO view the eclipse. The high spots
i'm the belt of totality are picked out
because ofthe rarified atmosphere,
and because the dust, smoke, and
clouds do not interfere with vision. as
they do in lower attitudes.
Scientists take advantage of the few
minutes duration of an eclipse to
photograph and study the corona of
the sun, which cannot be studied un-
der ordinary conditions because of
the binding light from the sun itself.
The corona is a sort of halo that ex-
tends around the sun. Why it is there
and what il is made of are questions
upon which every successive total
eclipse is expected to throw light.

A great many Pendleton people are
planning excursions this afternoon

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES,
June S.-The spirit of the German
army was never keener than today.
IL would be playing Germany's game
to report otherwise.
The events on the SOmme, Lys and
Oisne hape had their effect.
Also. professional lecturers and spe-
ciaI officers are circulating among the
troops encouraging them with moral
stimulants. They insist the war is al
most over, that Germany is invincibIe
that they are fighting i'm self defense,
that the United States is all "IlOt aid, !"
that more Americans are sunk asea
than arrive in France, that Americans
can not arrive in force before Ger

arriving are neurotic and unable to
