TRANSNEPTUNIAN PLANET?
     We received from Prof. Shapley the following telegram:
"Lowell observatory telegraphs systematic search begun
years ago supplementing Lowells investigations for transneptunian
planet has revealed object which for seven weeks
has in rate of motion and path consistently conformed to
transneptunian body at approximate distance he assigned
fifteenth magnitude position march twelve three hours
G.M.T. was seven seconds of time west from delta geminorum
agreeing with Lowells predicted longitude   Shapley."
