Eclipse Seen‘ Clearly Here

Great interest was shown throughout the city in yester- day's solar eclipse, which was seen with perfect clearncss ex- cepting for the first part of the phenomenon, when the sun was. obscured by clouds. Shortly be- fore the eclipse the sky clouded darkly, and it was feared that nothing would be seen. The clouds, however, dispersed, and the spectacle oi’ the moon's gradual encroachment on the sun until it had blotted out all but the upper rim of the solar surface and passed by imper- ceptible degree: to the other side, was watched with intense interest. ﬂousetops and other vantage llﬂlnts were lined by slghtsecrs. no were the streets and windows facing on the spectacle. Observers, following the advice In Monday's Gun-rd- lan, took the precaution of sec- ing the eclipse through dense- ly smoked glue. Indeed, so bright were the sun's rays that it was impossible to gaze in that direction with the naked eye. The maximum of the eclipse occurred about 4.25 p.m., at which time twilight l)":- vailcd.

MAGOG, Que, Aug. 3l-A spirit: of good-sportsmanship was strik- ingly evideni; tonight among the 6O astronomers who came from many parts of the world to record the total eclipse but were disappoint- ed by an unkind sky. As they pre- pared to dismantle the great amount of apparatus there was a general appearance of smiling res- ignation.

Although from the first moment: the moon began to cover the sun until the end of the phenomena, there was a. period of about two hours, the effect was only visible"

for a. few minutes. This occurred just about the time of totality which began at 3.25 p.m. E. S. T. In Magog and lasted 100 seconds. The skies were threatening all dur- ing thc day and as the eclipse ap- proached the clouds piled up to obscure the sun.

Captain

Mollison

Will Not Make Eastward Flight

Nerves Shaken and Strength Worn Down The Intrepid British Flier Will Sail For Home On Board I Empress Of Britain Saturday.

SYDNEY, N. 5., Aug. 3l-(By the Canadian Pressl-Accepting the counsel of his wife, his doctor and ills backer, Captain James A. Mol- lison has decided to make the re- turn trip to England by steamer. His nerves shaken and strength worn down by a single-handed flight westward across the Atlantic and subsequent battle with fog and storm, the Scottish flyer has re- luctantly decided not to risk any failure of “human machinery" on an eastward flight. Instead’ of leav- ing for Harbor Grace, his designed hopping off place, he plans to put the "Heart's Content" into the air for Quebec tomorrow, and to sail for home on the Empress of Brit- ain Saturday.

The first indication that Captain Molllsons health had been affect- ed by the rigors of his solo flights came after he landed at Coxheath, near here, Monday night, a; 1m,- height of a violent electrical storm.

ust 18, that the "Heart's Content.’ had been brought down in u. farm- land. Each time the Captain had‘ made a perfect landing and subse- quently a perfect take-off.

The next morning Dr. Freeman O'Neil, Mollisons host, noticed that he was "shaky" and cabled the flyei-‘s wlfe--Amy Johnson-his ud- vice that she use her inﬂuence to persuade her husband to abandon the project of a return to England by air. By telephone and cable Amy
