ECLIPSE At BAKER, ORE
SCIENTISTS VIEW SPECTACLE
RARELY SEEN BY HUMAN KIND.
Eclipse Shut from View by Clouds to
Observers at Denver University.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Heavy clouds which spread
across the sky in deep fold brought
disappointment to thousands in Den
yer who were anticipating observing
the total eclipse of the sun June s,
and particularly to the scientists and
savants who had unlimbered their tel
escapes in Chamberlain observatory at
Denver University.
Baker, Ore.-Untimely twilight, fast
followed by a deeper darkness, swept
over a strip of the Northwest fifty
miles wide when the solar eclipse, fore
told by men who have reduced the
movements of astral bodies to an e
act science, came to pass.
The predicted phenomenon found
noted scientists ready for 1t here.
Glasses were trained to read the riddle
of the heavens and to study and photo
graph the suns corona and spectrum.
Definite conclusions drawn from these
observations will be available only aft
er comparison of results attained and
deductions as to their significance.
The observations were declared to be
successful, a slight cloudiness being
the only drawback.
The expected results Of plunging
the world into darkness as of night
were observed. Birds sought their
nests and chickens went to roost. A
gloom as deep as that at 10 o'clock at
night enveloped the favored strip of
country at the moment of totality.
Electric lights were turned on indoors
and street cars and automobiles had
their headlights burning.
Within a few minutes after the to-
tai eclipse. daylight rapidly returned.
