...good ship "Kawa" had quite a motion, but not enough to make this author feel off color. Just as much brown and coral as ever inside the same green cover...
...School, and Dean Donham, of the Business School, were the chief speakers at the opening meeting of the Engineering Society last night in Pierce 110. Professor L. J. Johnson '87, Professor L. F. Marks, and Professor C. A. Adams, all of the Engineering School, also addressed the meeting. A motion picture comedy was shown and refreshments were served after the speeches...
...remarkable motion picture of African animal life will be shown at the Tremont Temple beginning next Monday night. It will be the first presentation in America of a film which has been pronounced the finest ever taken by many educators and has been widely shown in Australia and New Zealand. The pictures are absolutely real and are the most daring ever taken, for Mr. Eustace, before realizing the possibilities of photography, spent over twenty years as a big game hunter. Some of the animals shown are exceedingly rare and include the white rhinoceros, heretofore considered extinct...
...universe in which the earth plays its ultra-microscopic part, the actual distance to many of the brighter stars had to be measured. When Copernicus promulgated the heliocentric theory in 1543 through the publication of his epoch-making book. 'De Revolution-ibus Orbium Coelestium", it was seen that the motion of the earth in its orbit about the sun should produce an apparent displacement or change in direction of a star as the observer was carried in the space of six months from one side to the other of the orbit 186,000,000 miles across. In spite of this...
...This motion of the sun is not peculiar, for, contrary to the earlier conceptions, all "fixed" stars appear in motion. The static universe of the ancients has become dynamic, and the astronomer may wait centuries for correct conclusions in regard to those motions of the more distant stars. Three things, however, seem well established as a result of study of both proper motions and radial velocities. These are: (1) the motion of the sun in space above mentioned; (2) the common motion of certain groups or clusters of stars, the two most notable examples of which are the Taurus...
