From Our Own Correspondent APIA, June 16.
A PARTIAL eclipse of the sun was observed in Apia on June 8 between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. The wireless broadcast describing the total eclipse as seen in the Phoenix Islands was also received in Apia, though only comparatively few radio fans seem to have troubled to tune in to the broadcast description by one of the members of the N.Z. expedition at Canton Island.
Rev. W. E. Moren, of the Anglican Chaplaincy in Apia, sailed from Samoa for New Zealand by the Matua early in June.
Mr. R. B. Carpenter, of W. R. Car penter & Co. Ltd., sailed from Sydney for New Guinea on a business visit by the Neptuna on June 14.
