...Aeronautical Society has four pilots among its members who served during the war as instructors, they will be able to give instruction as thorough as that at service fields. Instead of ten hours of dual instruction, the maximum given by the Army or Navy, the Society will give a minimum of 15 hours...
...splendid start in the disposition of the Endowment Fund,--but it must be remembered that it is only a start. Even before the war teachers were underpaid, and a 50 per cent, raise in the wages does not nearly offset the 100 per cent in prices since then. A maximum salary of $8,000 to the highest paid professor shows that there is still much to be desired...
...peculiar thing about this discovery is that the star which Miss Woods found is now invisible. It first appeared in April, 1917, attained its maximum brilliance of 6.5 magnitude on April 25 of that year, fluctuated in brightness until August, and later disappeared. It was discovered in the comparison of old and new photographic plates, a process regularly pursued at the Observatory for the sake of recording changes in the heavens. Usually discoveries are made on new plates. This time, when the new plate was superimposed on the old it was found that a star recorded on the old plate...
...past five months have been located in a certain part of the Milky Way between R. A. 16 hrs., 48 m., and 20 hrs., 3 m., although no special care has been taken in the examination of that region. Furthermore, they have all been of approximately the same maximum magnitude. This similarity in position and size has caused much speculation. The officials of the University Observatory have, however, advanced no theory to account...
Between December 4 and 6 the new star increased rapidly in brightness from the 16th magnitude, or fainter, to a maximum of about 6.5. Since that time it has undergone marked fluctuations in brightness and its present magnitude is only about 8.5. It is, therefore, a great deal too faint to be seen with the naked...
