TOTAL ECLIPSE
Of SUN TOMORROW
If DAY IS CLEAR MOSCOW WILL
HAVE A FINE VIEW OF THE
PHENOMENA

| SPOKANE-The total eclipse of the
sun tomorrow afternoon first touches
the American continent in this state
| The shadow will reach the coast at
| South Bend and will travel rapidly, sc
| miles minute, in SOutheaSterly
direction across path of totality that
follows approximately these cities
Chehalis, Wash; Heppner and Baker
City, Ore; HALEY, Pocatello and
Montpelier in Idaho; Green River in
Wyoming; Steamboat Springs and
Littleton (10 miles south of Denver) (,
Colo; Ashland, Kan; Yazoo City,
Miss; seven miles south of Orlando
City, Fla, and leaves the North Ameri-
can continent about 300 miles out at
sea among the Bahama islands at sun
set.
Spokane will see about a SO per
cent total eclipse, being several hun
dred miles to the north of the path
of totality, which is about 70 miles
wide.
The time of the shadow on this
state is about 1855 p. m. Saturday,
since the government recently asked
us to set our clocks one hour ahead.
At Baker City, Ore, which would prob
ably rest about on line drawn
through the shadow to touch Spokane
on the north, the eclipse begins at
4:O5. The duration of the eclipse at
Baker City (Which means approx
mately for Spokane, too) will be one
minute and 55 seconds. AS the eclipse
passes rapidly across the continent the
time grows shorter, and Washington
gets to see the solar phenomenon
longer than any state in the Union.
Observers must not expect the sky
to be as dark as the night sky; far
from it. Good eyes should be able to

The Americans nave been pressing
