ECLIPSES.
IN the year 1869 there will be two Eplipses of the Sun, and two of
the Moon, viz.:-
I.--A Partial Eclipse of the Moon, January 27, invisible at Brisbane.
II. An Annular Eclipse of the Sun, February 11, invisible at Brisbane.
III.-A Partial Eclipse of the Moon, July 23, visible at Brisbane. First
contact with the penumbra , 9h. 32m. 38s. p.m.; middle of
eclipse ,14m. 50s. a.m.; lastcontactwith penumbra , 2h. 57M.28.
IV. -A Total Eclipse ofthe Sun, August 8, invisible at Brisbane.
NOTES FOR THE CALENDAR.
Tax Moon's age is given at noon, and is the mean time elapsed since
the Moon's ecliptic conjunction with the Sun, or since the Sun and Moon
had the same longitude . The numbers in the "Moon's Age" column are
calculated for Brisbane, and are expressed in days and decimal parts of
a day. Immediately following the Calendar will be found a Table showing
the Sun's apparent declination at mean noon throughout the year, taken
from the " Nautical Almanac."
e;rTHE Meteorological Observations , and statement of Births and
Deaths, given in the Calendar pages of this publication, apply to Brisbane
only.
Tax difference in time between high water at the Bar and Brisbane is
one hour ; between Brisbane and Ipswich, three hours. This applies as a
general rule, but the actual time of high water is frequently influenced by
strong northerly and easterly gales, and violent freshes in the river. The
Proprietor has obtained evidence from the Chief Pilot in Moreton Bay as
to the general accuracy of the tide tables in this Almanac ; and the work
has also met with the entire approbation of all the ship masters trading
to the port of Brisbane.
WHEN the Sun is south of the Equator , the day tides in the southern
hemisphere are the highest ; when north of the Equator , the night tides
are the highest . These changes will take place about the second or third
spring tide after the sun has crossed the Equinox . The day tides will be
the highest until the first spring tide in April, when the night tides will
take precedence until the new moon in October , after which the day tides
will again take precedence.
