STAR GAZERS TOLD
HOW HEAVENS WILL
LOOK DURING JUNE
WASHINGTON, O. C., June 6.—
(/P)—You may think summer is here,
but oflicially it does not begin until
June 21 which will be the longest
day of the year in the northern hem
isphere. It comes on Sunday, which
will doubtless make tennis and golf
players rejoice.
June is the month to look for the
Big Dipper high in the western sky
with the end of the handle nearly
due north, says a bulletin by the
American Nature Association. Bootes,
generally spoken of as the Herds
man, is also known as the Ox-driver
and is supposed to be driving the
seven plough oxen, as the seven
stars of the Big Dipper are also
known, around the north pole of the
heavens.
Arcturus, the brightest star in
Bootes, is the Bear-guard, as it name
signifies, and it can be easily found
by prolonging the line of stars in
the tail of the Great Bear or the
handle of the Big Dipper toward the
southeast. Some see in Bootes a
hunter pursuing the Great Bear with
his two hounds.
Bootes is easily found because its
ehief stars form the outline of a boy’s
kite, with the bright orange colored
star Arcturus at the point where
the tail joins the body of the kite.
This kite has two tails, however,
extending to either side from Arctur:
LIS.
Some prefer to see the five fairly
bright stars in Bootes to the north
of Arcturus as corners of a pentagon,
i five-sided figure with its sides of
equal length.
Arcturus, its peculiar orange color
makes it easy to find, is also one
of the three brightest stars north of
the celestial equator. The other two
ire Vega, now far over in the north

east, and Capella in the northwest.
The three stars differ greatly in col
or, for Vega is bluish-white; Capella,
yellow; and Arcturus orange. Vega
is a shade brighter than the other
two, which are exactly equal in
brightness.
Arcturus, the American Nature As
sociation points out, is one or the
nearer stars to the earth though
there is some uncertainty as to its
exact distance. It is placed between
21 and 36 light years. A light year
is the distance light travels in a
year at the speed of 186,000 miles a
second. Arcturus is also quite a
giant sun, the stars being all suns,
of course. Its diameter is nearly
20,000,000 miles. That makes our
sun with its diameter of only 864,
000 miles look pretty small, though
compared to our planet earth, with
its diameter of 8,000 miles, it seems
large.
Corona Borealis, next to Bootes on
the east, is the Northern Crown, and
it is indeed a beautiful little crown
of six stars in which the second mag
nitude star, Gemma of Alphacca, the
brightest star in the semi-circle, is
the jewel in the crown.
Far over in the northeast is Vega,
brightest star of the northern hemis
phere of the heavens, easily recogniz
ed by its diamond-like blue-white
splendor and by the two small stars
that form with it an equilateral tri
angle that has no counterpart in the
heavens. Vega is in Lyra, The Harp,
one of the smallest and most inter
esting constellations in the sky. It
lies next to the huge constellation
of Hercules, which separates it from
Corona and Bootes on the west.
MISS INA GRACE DUNN
WEDS FRANCIS F. BROWN
A happy romance was culminated
Friday night in the office of U. S.
Commissioner Curtis R. Morford,
when Miss Ina Grace Dunn of San
Diego, Calif., and Mrs. Francis Free
man Brown, a member of the Seward
radio station were united in marri
age. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Kobell,
friends of the young couple were
witnesses to the marriage. The for
mer Miss Dunn arrived in Seward
last evening on the steamer Yukon.
The steamer Starr sails for the
Westward next Monday, June 8.
Construction on the Third story
to the Arcade Annex, is well under
way. The entire work has progress
ed favorably up to the present time.
