...usual, the astral doctors disagree. Charitably assuming that the "wild statement" is a journalistic interpretation, other well-known astronomers say that the most that can be predicted is that sun spots in different parts of the sun's disk appear to be whirling in opposite directions, and thus, possibly, to be giving the impression that there are disruptive tendencies at work in the body...
...coast near Los Angeles, and at San Diego, Ensenada, Mexico and other Lower California posts, the sky was obscured by heavy clouds practically throughout the eclipse. At Los Angeles the clouds parted just long enough for the watching thousands to see a thin crescent of shadow on the disk in the early phase. At Mexico City the clouds were more polite, and a good view was obtained, though as the Mexican capital was just outside the belt of totality, with an obscuration of 99.4%, none of the major expeditions had stationed themselves there. There is a possibility that later reports...

Wilson, and observations will be made there with...
...Further direct proof of the Einstein predictions regarding the deflection of light rays from stars close to the edge of the sun's disk. (TIME, April 21.) The Lick Observatory expedition at Wallal, Australia, during the solar eclipse of last September, obtained what Dr. Campbell considered thoroughly satisfactory verification of the Einstein effect, and will make no special attempt to photograph it. Most of the other expeditions, however, will devote special attention to this phenomenon...
