THE STARRY SKIES IN MAY

AS in the preceding months, Venus
the most brilliant of the planets
shines in the northwestern sky in
the early evening" It's position at the
beginning and end of the month is
marked on Figure /. However, this
planet is the most brilliant object in
the heavens, except the sun and
moon, and there is no chance Of mis-
taking it. Above Venus is another
planet. Mars. Mars is much fainter
than Venus. It is moving more slow
ly than Venus, so that Venus nearly
catches up with it by the end of the
month, and passes it June 3. The
stars at A and B are the twin stars
Castor and Pollux. Mars is a little
fainter than either and reddish in
color. Castor and PolluX and the two
planets will be an interesting group
at the end of the month when they
are close together.
The planet Saturn appears on the
map for the first time this season. 1t
is in Scorpius, in the southeast Saturn
becomes an evening star on May 26.
After that time it is south before
midnight The moon will be very
near it on May II, but unfortunately
it is closest in the day time Jupiter
rises about 3:15 am. May l. and about
1870 am. May 81. 1t is in the con-
stellation Pisces, as is also the planet
Uranus, which is not visible to the
naked eye. Neptune is in Leo in the
position marked on Figure !. 1t is
also invisible to the naked eye. Mer-
curry is too close to the sun to be
seen.
AS seen from Philadelphia, Venus
sets at 10 pm, Eastern standard time.
May /, and at 1882 pm. May 81. 1t
is very unusual to see Venus so late
at night 1t sets latest on June l at
1898 pm. The times will be nearly
the same elsewhere in local time.
Bright stars shown on Figure I
are Vega at c, Arcturus at d, Betel-
geuse at i. Capella at F. Procyon at

Celestial Influences.
Do the heavenly bodies exert any
influence upon the earth and its in
habitants? They do. The sun eXerts
an enormous influence on terrestrial
affairs. Its influence can scarcely be
overestimated. Its influences extend
in many directions. We have dis
cussed them in the past. The moon
has the next greatest influence. IT
has a few influences recognized by all,
such as those of light giver and a
tide producer. To these popular fancy
has added a great number of supposed
influences, involving weather, vegeta-
ton and even human behavior, which
cannot bear the light of a scientific In
vestigation and which must therefore
be declared to be without foundation
We shall not discuss these now. The
influences of the other heavenly bodies
are very slight, indeed. OF course,
each of the heavenly bodies sends us
a little light and energy. and the plan
cts by their attraction disturb the mo.
tioDs of the earth slightly. and pos
sibly they may affect US a little indi-
rectly through sunspots. This is as
much as can be said.
Astrology.
TO primitive peoples it was evident
that vegetation depends upon sunshine
andsrain and that the winds and light
ming may be very destructive. They
noted that there We're seasons of tenn

above them. They had no good knowl-

SAYS ECONOMY CLAIM
 PARKS NOT SUSTAINED
(Cordova Times)

Governor Parks recently called for bids for printing of both the Senate and House journals of the Territorial Legislature, of 225 bound volumes. The former will make between 300 and 400 pages. All three printing offices at Juneau and the Cordova Daily Times submitted sealed bids, and when opened it was found that the Times had underbid it's lowest competitor for both jobs S495.70.
 The Governor was advised that the Times was ready to post bond and execute it's part of the contract, as per specifications, and was astounded when Parks advised that the prices quoted were too high and that he had decided to readvertise and mod
  ment in face of the fact that never before has any office offered to do the work at the low figure submit ted by the Times.
 Parks offers as an excuse for withholding this printing from the lowest bidder that he wants to save the Territory money; while as mat ter of fact the only saving in print ing that was ever made was in the several jobs awarded the Times, on a competitive bid, in March. On the printing of one of these reports the Times was $327 lower than a Juneau paper, which had cut its price con siderably under what it received for the same job two years ago.
