NEWTONIAN THEORY.
SERIES OF DISCOVERIES. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT VANCOUVER, Oet. 13. Captain T. J. See, professor of mathematics in the United States Navy and Government astronomer at Mare Island, California, declared in an address before the California Academy of Sciences at San Francisco that he had made a series of discoveries indicating the complete triumph of the Newtonian theory of universal gravitation over the Einstein theory of relativity. Captain' See asserted that he was able to explain under the Newtonian theory of universal gravitation over the Einstein theory fo relativity. Captain See asserted - that he was able to explain under the Newtonian hypothesis the deflection of starlight passing near the sun at the time of the solar eclipse as observed by the British expedition to Brazil on May 29. 1919, and by the Crocker expedition of the Lick Observatory to Australia in 1922. By his discovery, Captain See is said to have the correct method for calculating the bending of light by the snn’s gravitational attraction.
