and carrying out other eclipse observa-
lions than Prof. Kopn had suspected.
But when Prof. Robertson had marked
out the path on the map the even more
astonishing fact came out that there
was not q spot of land within the en-
tire area suitable for observations.
There were some islands near the be-
ginning and near the end Of the path,
where worthwhile observations would be
impossible. Otherwise the whole phen-
omenon might have been deliberately
calculated to confound astronomers.
Hardly any other path could have been
chosen which would have avoided all
land.
The only exception was the myster-
ious Sarah Ann. Navy astronomers,
searching charts, found records OF q
little island almost ideally located. But
it was dropped of the charts about ID
years ago, presumably because some sea
captain, crossing the spot, had found
there only open water. Perhaps Sarah
Ann never existed but was charted by
mistake. Perhaps she existed but dis
appeared under the water, as small Pa
cific islands are known occasionally to
do. At any rate, she isn't officially
there any more and the strong pre-
sumption Is that she isn't actually
there. The spot is of the ship lanes
and about the only way to determine
If Sarah Ann still exists IS to send
somebody there specifically to find out
Prof. Kopff has gone back to Ger
many after comforting with Prof
Robertson. He plans to ask German
merchant ships in the Pacific to hunt
for the island. Other observatories may

to be the most favorable eclipse in

are known to be very shallow. There
may be tiny coral islands unmarked on
any map which can be found by an
intensive search. There are almost
certainly, navigators familiar with this
part of the ocean say, very shallow
spots where coral reefs reach almost to
the top Of the ocean, their surfaces COW
cred by only few feet Of water. 1t may
be possible to sink concrete piers and
actually build an island for the sake
Of that precious seven minutes fve
years hence.
One thing certain, astronomers say.
Is that there Is no possibility Of setting
up an eclipse observing station without
land, artificial or otherwise. The value
of eclipse observations depend on their
precision, down to the hundredth Of q
second. The latitude and longitude Of
the instruments must be known pre-
cisely and usually are established weeks
in advance. Observations taken from
the unsteady deck of ship would be
worthless. The cost Of eclipse obser-
vations runs very high and would not
be justified unless there could be some
guarantee Of precision.
Prof. Robertson has Just finished
calculating the total eclipse Of 1886 at

servations. The eclipse would provide a
literal paradise for astronomers.
So Prof. Robertson set to work last
year. It was a tremendous job. In or
der to calculate an eclipse 1t is neces-
sary to know the exact positions Of the
sun and mon. The American astrono-
mer had to carry these forward for six
years before he could even start on
calculation of elements Of the eclipse
itself. AS a rule he would have calcu-
lated them three years in advance.
When he started to determine the time
and place elements Of the actual dark
ening of the suns face by the shadow
of the moon the more remarkable it
seemed. It would actually continue in
totality, he found, for seven minutes
and "a seconds. The band Of totality
would be about 120 miles wide and
would sweep over the enormous distance
of about nearly 5000 miles, running across
the Pacific just north of the Equator,
from near Borneo almost to the West
ern coast of Northern South America.
Conditions would be even better for

\HE disappearance Of Sarah Ann
is confounding the world as
fronovpere

TINE disappearance Of Sarah Ann
is confounding the world as
tronomers.
i Sarah Ann is, or was, a lonely,
uninhabited little island In the
middle of the Pacific Of no value to
anybody and claimed by nobody-just
a dot on nautical charts for ship cap
tains to asoid.
But suddenly this unwanted waif Of
the ocean has become spot Of supreme
importance. June 8, 1937-f she had
lived-she would have been the center
of the scientific world and potentially
the revealer Of more profound secrets
concerning the nature and structure Of
the universe than have been conflded by
nature to any other place at any other
time.
Believed Dead and Buried.
But, it is believed, Sarah Ann is a
dead and buried island. She hasn't
been seen, so far as can be ascertained,
for about Is years. The probability IS
that she is at the bottom of the Pacific.
Sarah AIMS potential importance Is
due to the fact probably the most ex-
traordinary total eclipse Of the sun IN
history will sweep across narrow path
of the Pacific just north Of the Equator
for nearly 1000 miles June 8, 1887. Two
years ago Prof. A. Kopff, director OF the
Rechen- Institute of Berlin, govern
ment institution corresponding to the
Naval Almanac Office here, made some
preliminary deductions about the COM
ing eclipse. The period Of totality, 1t
appeared from his calculations, would
continue for about seven minutes, over
nearly 1,500 miles Of the path. The

DRY CASE HINGES
ON SNIFF LEGALITY
Prohibition Officers Nose
Fiqures in Paddock
Proceedings.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE Gov
ernment hung its hopes Of paddock
case today on the nose of Joseph A.
Frayne.
Frayne. a prohibition agent purports
on the day OF May 80, 1881, to have
been snifing in the vicinity of Tenth
avenue and Twenty-f1fth street, where
the brewery known as "Owney Mad
den's" stands.
ExcelIed as Sniffer.
1t Is represented that as a snifter
Frayne has few equals. The contention
is made that he is able to inhale deep
ly and determine thereby what may be
going on in the way of beer-making IN
the area covered by his inhalation.
AS he explained it to Federal Com
missioner Cotter last night:
Il was shifting the air and it was red
olent with the ordorS Of hops and malt
and actually good beer. meaning beer
that contained more than one-half II
! per cent alcohol"
Just about the time his sniff had led
him to this conclusion, he met Louis
Halle. attorney. who now seeks to have
the Frayne sniff thrown out of court.
Mr.. Halle, 1t developed, did not smell
any beer. Perhaps he had a cold. Tnat
was not brought out. As Frayne told
Commissioner Cotter:
Smells Cabbage.
"Mr. Halle came along and I asked
him if he could smell beer. He took a
long sniff and said Why. no; think
somebody's cooking cabbage around
here.
Frayne then decided that Halle didn't
know good beer when he smelled it.
Frayne said policeman approached
him. having seen the shifting cere-
monies. The policeman said:
If you're a prohibition agent and
haven't got search warrant. scram of
my beat"
Frayne had no search warrant. but
he was sniffer enough to know that
nobody was cooking cabbage around
there so the place was raided.
What Commissioner Cotter Is ex-
pected to decide between now and Mon
day is whether the Frayne sniff is
sufficiently reliable to have justified the
raid, and if the brewry should be pad
locked.

Ruling ISSUED ON
COMPENSATION ACT
Court Says Must Be Filed With
in Year After Accident
Occurs

A district court verdict allowing Ole
J. Bjorseth of Hatton workmen's COM
pensation for an injury was reversed
Saturday by the state supreme cour:
on the ground that the claim was not
filed within year after the injury
occurred.
The court held that the workmen's
compensation act authorizing the
compensation bureau to allow claims,
for a reasonable cause shown, at any
time within one year, lis limitation
upon the power of the bureau to al
low claims for disability payable out
of the fund"
Bjorseth, a carpenter, froze his toe
ir January, 1929. He suffered no il!
effects until the following November,
when he became disabled as a result
Of the freezing. He presented his
claim to the compensation bureau in
May, 1880, but the bureau dismissed
the claim on the ground it was not
filed within the statutory period OF
one year. The Grand Forks county
district court held Bjorseth entitled
to compensation and the bureau ap-
pealed to the supreme court.
The supreme court decision, written
by Justice L. E. Birdzell, referred to
the contention of Bjorseth's counsel
that a claim begins to run from the
time an injury develops rather than
at the time of the accident. Such a
construction Of the North Dakota
statute would defeat the evident
purpose of the limitation which re-
uuires claims to be made within such
time as would enable the bureau TO
advantageously determine the Facts,
the court said.

called in a program presented at the

club Friday evening in the Cavern
room at the Prince hotel. A dinner.
attended by all but two members of
the club, preceded the program.
Speaking on Americanization, Miss
Mary Cashel, executive secretary of
the Burleigh County Red Cross, listed
social agencies designed to aid the i'm
migrant In ljusting himself to q new
environment. Lack of adequate faci-
lities for contracting foreigners and the
resultant exploitation by unscrupul-
Gus persons frequently is responsible
for the development of undesirable
citizens, she pointed out.
She spoke on the contributions
which immigrants have and are MAX
ing to our national culture. quoting
excerpts from Eaton's Immigrant
Gifts to American Life" edited by the
Russell Sage Foundation.
Miss Cashel's talk was followed by
a review of Panunzio's 1.-The Soul of
an Immigrant" given by Miss Helen
Katen, secretary Of the North Da-
kota tuberculosis association.
Work of eight departments of the
General Federation will be stressed
in the clubs programs this year, with
book reviews and papers to be given
in interpreting the activities which
come under the various department
headings.
Since the promotion of creative art
is the major project Of the club, art,
music and drama will be emphasized
at an open meeting scheduled for Jan.
81, when an art exhibit is to be stag
ed.
Meetings are held on the last day
of each month. with part of the ses-
sion given over to discussion of inter-
national affairs.
