Earth Wabbles Says Scientist Hill of Naval Observatory
Professor George A Hill of the Naval Observatory in Washington has spent twenty years on the problem and, with worldwide collaboration, deduced that the earth wobbles on its axis. The poles move within a circle about sixty feet in diameter, with the pole's position never twice the same and a full semicircular oscillation about fourteen months. Astronomers at Gaithersburg Cincinnati Lick Mizusawa Tschardiui Berlin and Carloforte confirm the wobble by star observations showing apparent staggering along a fixed line while stars remain effectively stationary. The axis has two motions one daily and the other oscillating whose full nature remains undetermined.
