ECLIPSES.
THERE will be two Eclipses of the Sun this year, neither of
which will be of any interest to the inhabitants of Queensland.
On April 5-6, there will be a total Eclipse, visible at Cape York
just before sunset. On Sept. 28-29, there will be an annular
Eclipse, invisible in Queensland.
NOTES.
THE Meteorological Notes and the " average " of the previous
ten years, in the calendar pages, apply to Brisbane only.
TaE 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 Proprietors
,-have obtained evidence from the Harbor Master 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 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 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.
