...with others, has derived a new method of determining the relative motion of two stars in the line of sight. The method depends on the calculation, by means of photographic plates, of the relative variation in the position of the spectra of the two moving stars. There is reasonable belief that this method will enable such calculations to be made with a degree of accuracy hitherto unobtainable. The spectra of many obscure stars have been carefully studied, and in some cases, peculiar spectrum lines have been noticed which point to the presence of some unknown elements...

It is a custom of the religious authorities not to announce to what denomination those who conduct chapel belong, and in every way to make the services so simple and free from doctrine or creed that every student...
