THE SOLAR ESLIPSE.
OBSERVERS HANDICAPPED. OBSOLETE EQUIPMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, Oct. 7. Profesor Cooke, of the Sydney Observatory, states that his party’s work in observing the eclipse at Goondiwindi was severely handicapped by the fact that the observatory was a museum of antiquated instruments. In the special observations to test the Einstein theory he was compelled to use a makeshift device of inadequate calibre, which failed at the crucial moment. It was, however, adjusted, and he secured a couple of photographs, which it was hoped would prove satisfactory. A suggestion was made that the observatory equipment should be handed to the Historical Society.
