Regarding magnetic disturbances.
As Hugh Percy (3rd Duke of Northumberland) has died, it would be very fitting if JH would contribute an obituary notice for the R.S.L.
Grateful for receipt of JH's Cape Results. Describes TH's observations of thread-like 'bridges' among solar spots and questions their cause. Describes 'velocipede' constructed by local mechanic.
