Not Due to Error in CaI- CuIations of Astrono- mers, But Owing to
 New Daylight Law.
TO LOOK FOR COMETS
Observers Are Making Big Preparations for the Event Which Is on
 June Eighth.

DENVER, Colo, May 1S.-The total eclipse of the sun forecast to occur on June has been postponed for one hour. This is not the result of any error in the calculations of the astronomers nor is it due to an order by modern Joshua that the sun stand still, but is chargeable to the operations of the daylight sav- ing law as result of which the clocks throughout the United States were set forward an hour on March 31.
 In consequence the eclipse will begin in Denver at 4:12 D. m., will become total at 5:22 pm. will pass from totalty at SPA pm. and will end at 6:27. The same variation in the hours of the eclipse will pre- vail throughout the length of the fiftymile belt, extending from the southeastern corner of Washington state to the coast of Florida, in which the total eclipse will be vis- ible.
 This change in hours will not af- feet the astron8mers, however, as their clocks still are adjusted to standard sun time.
 Preparations for observing the eclipse, the first total eclipse of the sun visible in the United States since 1900 and the last until 1923, are going ahead rapidly at the Uni versity of Denver observatory where astronomers from Yerkes ob- servatory will make their obser- vations Professor Edwin B. Frost of the Yerkes observatory at Green Bay, Wis, recently notified Dean Herbert A. Howe, head of the De- partment of Astronomy of the Uni versity of Denver, that several ship
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-05-20

ments of specially prepared fnstru- ments are enroute. Professor Frost is expected here the first part of next week to begin installing the equipment
 One of the principal pieces of ap- i paratus is special spectroscope to be attached to the 21inch tele- 1 scope at the Denver observatory with which to photograph the sun s corona. Opportunity to photograph ! the corona is afforded only during total eclipse and astronomers are greatly interested in the result of this work as affording opportunity 1 to study the composition of this great outer belt of luminous gases which sourround the sun.
 Photographs also will be taken of the sky in the region of the sun in search of any stray comet and also of the mythical planet Vulcan, which some astronomers have asserted has it's orbit so close to the sun that it can be seen only during an eclipse. The existence of such planet is doubted by most astronomers, however.
 Besides the staff from Yerkes ob- servatory, other astronomers are planning to work at the Denver observatory Among them are Professor A. V. Turner of the Col lege of the City of New York, Prof. Schlessinger of Alleghany observa- tory, Prof Beifield of Dennison Uni versity and Prof Moore of the United States Bureau of Mines.
 Although astronomers consider themselves fortunate in that the path of the total eclispse includes the Denver observatory, with its high power telescopes. they have experienced much difficulty in ob- taining special apparatus because of the war.
 As a precaution against unfavor- able weather conditions at Denver on June 8, the Yerkes observatory also will have men stationed at Green River, Wyo., and other Ob- servatories at other vantage points throughout the Mountain States.
 Points at which the total eclipse will be visible include South Ben. Wash; Chehalis, Wash. Hood Riv- CT, Ore; Baker City, Ore; Poca- tello, Ida. Green River, Wyo.; Dem yer, Colo. Garden City, Kans; Dodge City, Kans. Enid, Okla; Guthrie, Okla; McAlester, Okla; Arkadelphia, Ark; Yazoo City. Miss; Jackson, Miss; Grove Hill, Ala; Leesburg, Fla; and Orlan- dof Fla.

From the standpoint of baseball the game played yesterday between the pickup Juneau and Thane teams was a rotten exhibition, but from the standpoint of fun and entertain ment it was peach The game was expected to be ragged on ac count of the fact that two teams were picked up and pitted against each other without any practice oi any kind Juneau had the best oi the argument by the tune of II te in seven innings of play. The game was staged as a Red Cross | benefit.
 Gov. Riggs was present and tossed the first ball, over, above or at the plate. Anyway the ball got across and the catcher chased it into the backstop The Governor got a biz hand on his ability to throw.
 The first inning started with Ju neau at the bat and before they re tired they had put five men over tho plate, through hitting, luck accidents anu eITOTo Oi tHC part Ol tHCli op ponents Thane was unable to put any over as the men retired in one two, three order.

 RIGGS, Governor.
 On account of the smallness of the amount received it has been found to be impra ctical to divide it between each Chapter in Alaska so it has been divided equally between the four Di- visions. Governor Riggs has appoint ed one man in each Division to ar range for the sale of wool in such a manner as he deems advisable. The following telegram has been sent to George HaZelet at Cordova, Jafet Lindenberg at Nome, John A. Clark at Fairbanks and John F. Pugh at Juneau. These men have charge of the sale of wool in their Divisions. Geo. Hazelet, Cordova,
 Jafet Lindeberg, Nome,
 John A. Clark, Fairbanks,

Advise me O.B. of your acceptance. Use your own judgment in forming organ ization so as to reach the greatest number interested Wool can be auc. toned in whole or in part and could be well used to embroider Honor Stars. Here is wonderful oppor tunity to show the President direct Alaska's fine patriotism. Moneys raised are credited to the total sub scription of the Territory, but will be handled under the Presidents or ders. It has been suggested that each bidder whether as an individual or association remit with his bid ten per cent of his bid. this same to be- come part of this fund Wire we daily highest bids for day previous and at close of contest mail me full list of all bidders Please give as much publicity as possible in all the newspapers.

CAN YOU ASSIST IN THIS?

Have you any binoculars, spy
glasses or telescopes that you are not
using?
If you have the United States navy
needs them. The need was tragically
emphasized a few weeks ago in the
sinking of the Tuscania. Enough of
such instruments cannot be manufac-
tured to supply the demand.
In a letter to the editors of the Red
Cross Magazine, Franklin D. Roose-
welt, assistant secretary Of the navy.
asks the Red Cross to assist in COL
lection of all such instruments. All
articles should be mailed or expressed
to Mr.. Roosevelt at Washington, with
the doner's name attached. If they
cannot be used they will be returned.
If they are used an effort will be
made to return them with attached
historical interest at the end of the
war. AS the government cannot, un-
der the law, accept service or material
without some recompense, a dollar
will be mailed for each article sent.
This will serve as a rental price for
the use of articles during the war or
as purchase price in case the articles
are lost or destroyed.
