TOTAL ECLIPSE
OF SUN COMING
ON AUGUST 81
By BOYD LEWIS
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW HAVEN. Conn, June 16.
U.Pl-Approximately 100000 per-
sons will view the total eclipse of
the sun August 81. including about
so scientists gathered near the lit
tie Maine village of Fryberg. ae-
eording 10 Dr. Frank Schlesinger.
director Of the Yale observatory.
Only in 1925. when an estimated
10000. 600 persons saw the sun COM
pletely blotted out, has a larger
number of persons witnessed the
awe-inspiring phenomenon IN re-
cent times.
The reason for this is that al
though there is an average Of one
eclipse a year. the path of totality
that imaginary band across the
earth in which the total eclipse Of
the sun is seen-rsrely crosses areas
of dense population. Last year in
order to observe the eclipse. scit
entists had to transport comphcat-
ed equipment and supplies to tiny
Tin Can Island in the South Pa
cific.
Other Eclipses
Only twice before IN recent times
says Professor Schlesinger, have the
paths of totality passed over dense
" population areas. The first was
the eclipse Of January "a 1925,
which was visible in New York City.
Buffalo, New Haven ana many
other large cities.
The second was observed in
Northern England, Norway and
Sweden on June %, 1927.
The path of totality of the 1882
eclipse starts somewhere in the
Arctic Circle in Northern Canada.
crosses Quebec. northern Vermont.
most of New Hampshire, the south
ern tip of Maine and the extrem-
ity of Cape Cod and ends some
where out in the Atlantic ocean.
Fryberg has been chosen by the
greatest number of scientific OBJ
servers of the eclipse because it is
accessible by railroad and auto
mobile and will offer a maximum
chance of clear weather. Observing
an eclipse requires many weeks Of
advance preparation and large
quantities of valuable apparatus will
be shipped into the village for the
opportunity that lasts, in this case
less than 100 seconds.

LARGER sThGE BEEN BUILT IN AUDITORIUM
 IF SEWARD SCH00| s

Material results of the work of the Little Theatre Club of Seward is evidenced In the splendid stage which has been constructed in the auditorium of the Seward schools through the financial backing Of the Seward thespian organization. At a recent meeting of the Thea tre Club it was unanimously dc. cided that the club would build a stage suitable for the presentation of school plays and plays that the club might desire to present, and that they would finance the building of same.
 After securing the approval Of all parties concerned, the Little Thea tre Club engaged Hans Overhal- den, experienced woodworker of the Cal M. Brosius firm, to build the stage. The stage dimensions are not known but 1t is said that It Is about three times the depth as the prev ious school platform. The stage also extends all the way across the auditorium.
 Tn order to provide "offstage" space, door was cut on the left side of the auditorium, on the stage end, leading into the Library room. This door makes plenty of offstage room for play characters, and play properties, without crowding ID the stage proper.
 Aaron EricSon, local painter and decorator, Tuesday began putting a coat of wood stain on the newly woodwork. It Is assumed that play will be presented by the Little Theatre Club in the near fu- ture.
