Coast Survey.) To find the time of high water for any place given in the table below apply the correction opposite the place to the times of high water for its respective port given for every day on the twelve calendar pages of this Almanac. Add the correction to time of high water when it is plus, and subtract it when it is minus. Example: To find time of high water at Rockland, Me., on January 8, 1910 Time of high water at Boston, January 8...... Time of high water at Rockland, Me., January 8. 9 25 p. m. -0 26 p. m. 8 59 p. m. Add 6 h. to this for the succeeding low water or subtract same for preceding low water, and apply 12 h. in the same way for the other high water of the same date.

(See table for its conversion into Standard Time.) The Sun's rising and setting is for the upper limb and corrected for refraction. The signs used are follows: conjunction or near approach, at which time a line from the North Star through one will also pass through the other; 8, opposition or 180° from the Sun, at which time the Superior Planets are the brightest;, quadrature or 90° from the Sun: . Sun; . Earth; . Mercury; Q, Venus; d. Mars; 4, Jupiter; h, Saturn; Uranus; V, Neptune; 3, Moon generally; . Ascending Node; . Descending Node. Per.-Perihelion, or nearest to Sun; applied to Planets. STANDARD TIME TABLE. To obtain standard time take local time and add or subtract the figures given. City.

EXPLANATION OF THE CALENDAR PAGES. All the calculations in The Tribune Almanac are based upon mean or clock time unless otherwise stated. The Sun's rising and setting are for the upper limb, corrected for parallax and refraction. In the case of the Moon no correction is needed, as in the Sun, for "parallax and refraction"; with her they are of an opposite nature and just balance each other. The figures given, therefore, are for the Moon's centre on a true horizon, such as the ocean or a large plain affords. |
