Another telegram received at the Observatory from the Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Arizona, announces the discovery of a new star by Lampland on May 5 in the great spiral nebula Messier 83. The nova was roughly of 14th magnitude, which indicates that it would be visible only with a powerful telescope...

Carpenter '22, an assistant in the department, will speak on "Rotational Motion in Spiral Nebulae...

The fact that some of the large spiral nebulae have recently shown indications of rotation in no way proves the probability or the improbability of rotation in the galactic system as a whole. If recent estimates of the very great dimensions of the Milky Way stand correct, we should be led to suppose that these spiral nebulae must...
