ing back over his shoulder.

Lecturer Was a Fraud 
Some time ago a lecture was given 
in the Village Church bya Mr. Chand- 
ler on the ‘‘ Heavenly Planets.” Mr. 
Chandler claimed that he was a Pro- 
fessor from the Lich Observatory, 
California. Suspicion was aroused in 
regard to Mr. Chandler’s being what 
he claimed to be. In answer to an in- 
quiry the following letter was received 
from W. W. Campbell, of the Obser- 
vatory. 
Mount Ham lIton, May 8, 1907. 
Dear Sir: 
I am greatly obliged for your letter 
of May 2d with enclosure. Professor 
Chandler is wholly unknown to us, 
and he is evidently a fraud. He has 
never been connected with the Lich 
Observatory in any capacity. 
I need scarcely say that the Smith- 
sonian. Institution (not ‘Institute ’’) 
has no “members.” 
I have rever heard of the text-book 
on astronomy written by him. It is 
not impossible that he visited the Lich 
Observatory as an ordinary tourist, 
spending afew hours on the Mountain, 
but he certainly has never done more 
than this. . 
There appears to be no way to reach 
this fellow except to expose him in the 
region where he is working I should 
be glad to have you do this. You 
might arrange for the publication of 
this letter. 
Yours very truly, 
W. W. CampPBELL, Director.
