Partial Moon Eclipse Clouded Out by Washington Storm
The moon showed an eight to nine percent partial eclipse last night but was not visible in Washington due to a southeast rainstorm and heavy cloud cover. Local astronomers reportedly could not observe the event, while scientists elsewhere tracked it for verification and comparison. George Manus, a worker at the Washington Barracks who once received a silver watch from the German Emperor, sent a letter of thanks to the Kaiser via the State Department and German Embassy. The note, written by Capt FJ Sewall, expresses gratitude for the German Emperor’s action and acknowledges Manus’s service in guarding the statue of Frederick the Great.
