MOON ATTRACTS MOST VISITORS, T0 OBSERVATORY, Luna Wins [—,aTgest of Aud-| iences When It Is Week Old OTTAWA, July 12.—The Domin- ion Observatory of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa is open to visitors every Saturday evening between 8 and 10 o'clock, when those who wish to do so are al- lowed, under the supervision of a| member of the staff, to look through the telescope at one or| more celestial bodies from a select- ed list that varies with the seasons. | ‘This practice was begun in 1905 | when the observatory was first op- ened and has been continued ever since without interruption, says Canada News Bulletin. One of the most interesting o(‘ celestial objects to visitors is the | moon, especially if she is about one | week old. Then all the irregular- ities of her surface are shown up clearly in the intense light of the sun—the plains, the deep valleys, the mountain ranges and the crat- ers. Though smaller than the earth, it is seen that her surface is much more rugged. Her distance from the earth is 240,000 miles, but through the telescope she appears as she would to the naked eye at a dis- tance of a few hundred miles.

McKinley to re- cover the body of Theodore Koven he was here Koven and Allen Carpe, leaders of the ill-fated Cosmic Ray expe- dition to Mt. McKinley early this Spring lost their lives in a fall into an ice crevasse on Muldrow Glacier. Koven succeeded in climb- ing out but was so badly injured | he died almost on the edge of the crevasse from which he escaped. His body was found a few days later by another expedition that was returning from a successful ascent of Mt. McKinley. Members of the latter party tried to bring it out with them but after several narrow escapes from falls were forced to abandon it. They mark- ed the place where it was left and Mr. Taylor and LeVoy will under- take the difficult task of locating it and bringing it out. They will| pick up two or three men in Fair- banks to assist in the work. Ko- ven's body will be taken back to New York for interment. Mr. Taylor will also endeavor to | find the body of Carpe. But Mrs. |Carpe does not wish it brought | back. Mr. Carpe was an enthus- | iastic mountain climber and it was his expressed desire, in case of any fatal accident to himself in| that pursuit, to be interred on the | sceme of his death.

Maniu was no enemy to the exile but differences soon develop- ed between the new king and .his prime minister and on October 6, 1930, ‘Maniu - resigned. The fol- lowing June he resigned also as president of the national peasant party. 2 \ That Maniu and his party bad lost in popularity as well as royal esteem was indicated by the heavy vote polled for the Nicholas Jorga government in June, 1931. But Professor Jorga encountered Eur- | ope's financial crisis and Rumania found it almost impossible to seil her oil and wheat. Drastic falling off of tax receipts caused the government to fall in arrears in the payment of civil service salaries and even army of- ficers’ pay. During all this time Maniu, back in his native Transvlyla, practiced | law, telling neither friends nor enemies why he split with the king.
