Is of much more in terest to the observers at Pinehurst Just now tban its ordinarj use In conversa tion Implies Th forecast by the Weather Bureau for this section to-night find to morrow contains the following ominous words. "Partly cloudy to-night and to morrow" Tlie spirits ef the party sank perceptibly when the- message was re ceives!, and even the most sanguine ad mitted It was not an encouraging outlejok However. It cleared this evening and tho prospect begins to look hrlghter Profe'ssor Wood of the University of Wis consin Is to-day setting up his varied ap paratus. He will make a water-color sketch of the corona, viewing It through a five-Inch te'escope. There is one fact of great importance con nected with the observations for thl eclipse, namely, that heretofore the length of the exposures given plates had !en largely guess work, while th exact number of seconds required ror elliKTeni piaies is now known. It Is said that the best picture of the outer corona obtained during the In dian eclipse was one taken with a compiri tively crude instrument owned and ojerateel by -ome private Individual who chanced to get Jut the right exposure. A plan was proposed h Professor Wood to-djiv which will enable the timekeeper to see the eclipso and still count the seconds accurately. It Is known that a pendulum 29 1-5 Inches long will swing through Its normal arc In one second. Now Profcsor Wood proposes that the timekeeper hold In his hand such a pendulum and. starting It on the second, allow it to toucn nis mini finger at tho end of each swing. He can then look at tho eclipse und count the sec onds accurately by sense of touch Instead of rlxht. This plan was tried with good success ia to-day's drills. Another addition to the observing party to-day was E T Yowell of Cincinnati 31r Yowell has been assigned the second equa torial, which position had not been fllld yesterda.

These men have been untiring In their efforts to have every detail exact before the day of the eclipse, and although early this morning found them with gnat tasks before them, they have naiujht to do now but wait for tho passing of the moon be tween earth and sun. Doctor Humphrejs was seen in his quar ters to-day. adjusting the reflecting mirror. When asked of the prospects for 3Ionday's work, he shook his head gloomily and an swered that he feared Monday would be a rainy day. It cleared off this evening, how ever, and the astronomers have taken heart. Doctor Humphrejs sjys the eclipse will first bo seen in Mexico. Crossing Texas It will enter the Gulf, and thence through tha Southern States, visible last In this coun try at Norfolk. Ya.
