Astronomy Notes .>
By OLAF HALVERSON
Easter is a movable festival
because it falls on different dates
in different years. It is kept on
the Sunday next after the 14th day
o»f the Paschal moon. That is ap- .
proximately the full moon that
occurs on or next after the 21st
of March.
Easter cannot occur earlier than
March 22, when the 14th day of
the Paschal moon is Saturday,
March 21, nor later than April 25,
when the 14th day of the Paschal
moon is Sunday, April 18.
Easter is not, however, deter
mined by the true sun and moon,
but by the motion of a fictitious
sun and a fictitious moon imag
ined to travel around the celestial
equator uniformly with the time.
This year Easter falls on the
18th of April, only one week be
fore the latest possible date.
In 1943 Easter fell on April 25,
and articles occurred in various
papers concerning the very infre
quent late date.
Fifteen Mothers Alarmed
When 15 Children Sent
Home With 102° Fevers
SEATTLE, t?’)—Fifteen children
with identical fevers of 102 de
grees had 15 mothers all upset
until the explanation turned up
Thursday. It seems someone for
got to cool off the thermometer.
Students returning to a local
grade school after short absences
were given a routine check of
their temperatures. One after an
other, 15 of the returnees were
found to have fevers—all exactly
3.4 degrees over normal—and sent <
home.
One mother bacame curious be
cause a re-check at home failed to
show any fever in her youngster.
Inquiry disclosed that the tem
peratures were taken by an inex
perienced aide, who thought the
cool antiseptic solution in which
the thermometers were dipped
brought the mercury down.
At least, school officials said,
the first youngster must have had
a fever.
