(AP) If old Pierre Janssen, the famed French astronomer who died In 1907, could stand in the observation bay of the sleek Jet streaking over Canada, tears of joy and excitement would fill his eyes.

Although a century of scientific discovery separates them, Janssen would have felt a kindred spirit with the men in green flights suits and bulbous earphones who scurried about Friday in the giant Air Force airplane stuffed with exotic scientific gear. Janssen's love as an astronomer was studying eclipses of the sun- those rare, fleeting moments when the moon slides in front of the sun, blotting if out, During his long career Janssen suffered numerous adversities to journey to eclipses in several parts of the world. His instruments were of the crudest sort-- bits of glass held in place by wooden frames, The old astronomer would have seen first hand that the adversities are gone as he watched scientists from the Los Alamos, S.M., Scientific Laboratory practice tor their study of the solar eclipse Monday. The eclipse will Wo! out the sun along a 110-mile-wids path from Alaska to Nova Scotia, Canada, A battery of sophisticated cameras, telescopes and light-measuring devices on the airplane will record it, But the New Mexico Scientists will flash along at close to 600 miles an hour at 40,000 feet altitude- far above any clouds and on the very edge of earth's obscuring atmosphere. They'll be only 160 miles from the Ar- ctic Circle, Like Janssen, they want to observe the solar corona, the leaping, dancing streams of ps that extend outward from (tie sun millions of miles, In the corona are locked secrets about how the sun's activity effects planet earth, It was clouds lhal bitterly disappointed Janssen just little over a century ago.

Janssen was in Paris whei: the 1870 eclipse rolled around, but Paris was under seige by German troops participating in the Franco-Prussian War. The astronomer begged the Germans for permission to cross their lines and travel to North Africa lo be in tin? path of totality- the area where Ihe sun is completely obscured. The Germans refused, So resourceful Janssen obtained a hot air balloon and floated over the surprised enemy's lines, He made it to Africa, erected his crude equipment and waited, The fateful day arrived and a thick layer of clouds hid the sun for the few minutes that the moon glided across its face. His efforts were in vain. Navajos to Build Own Version of Medical School WINDOW ROCK, Ariz.

(AP) Saying the white man doesn't understand their prob-. lems, Navajo tribal leaders are planning to build their own medical college, complete with medicine men and Indian healers, on this isolated reservation in northeastern Arizona, Tribal Chairman Peter MacDonald said Navajo medicine men and tribal herbalists would be used to treat and teach about mental and physical ill- nesses in their own ways, "Navajos do not go to psychiatrists for emotional or psychological illnesses," MacDonald said, "They have medicine men for that, "Through chants and ceremonies, they are relieved of these tensions," he added. "This way is much better than the couch treatment," While Public Health Service physicians scoffed at such Indian customs in past years, that situation has changed somewhat, MacDonald said. "They Ihought the work of a medicine man was unsanitary and useless," he said. "They were separating the patient from the medicine man.

"Sometimes the patient simply left the hospital, saying 'If I can't be allowed to use my medicine man, I'm just going to Now, MacDonald said, doctors in clinics on the reserva- Washington Site May Yield Oldest Traces of N.W. Life tion have begun allowing patients "one to four days leave so they can have a saying at the ceremonies they believe will help their ailment." MacDonald said he believes construction on the medical school, with the help of federal funds, could begin within two years. He said the Chinle, and Tuba City, portions of the reservation and Ship Rock, N.M., are being considered as possible sites. The idea of the medical school was approved by the N'a- vajo Tribal Council recently. By July, MacDonald said, "we will get the first preliminary costs of the school, its location, phases of the project that will be possible and possible sources of funding, The proposal will be submitted to the U.S.

Department of Health, Education and Welfare. WARDEN, Wash. (AP) An archeology team from Washington State University has begun excavation at a site two miles east of here believed to contain the oldest known artifacts of human habitation in the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Ronald Fryxell, a WSU geologist, says the site may contain material older than the Mamies site discovered in 196? along the Snake River.

The site at Lind Coulee near hero originally was excavated 20 years ago, and animal bones and tools found were car Kin dated at the tinv; as about years old, said. However, recent refinements in the radio-carbon process indicate Ihe Lind Coulee artifacts may go back 2,000 years previous to that, making the site the oldest known scene of human habitation in Ihe N'orth- west, he said, Fryxell says Ihe site, oner, dry yc-at around, now is endan. by i from the Columbia Basin Irrigation System, The Bureau of Reclamation and the Nalional Park Service are financing Ihe current excavation with 522,498 to save a i a before they are destroyed, he said.
