MackereI.

The outlook for the fleet was little bright
er earlier in the week, when several fair
catches were made in Massachusetts bay,
but the dull weather later interfered with
operations, and the landings fall below those
of the previous week. There appears to be
numerous bodies of mackerel along our
coast. but they do not show up in large
schools, and are hard to catch. AS the
North Bay has proved failure, the only
chance for our fishermen is on this coast
during the next five weeks. The landing of
the New England fleet for the week foot up
2o3S barrels, against 25o7 barrels for the
previors week, and $3.50 barrels for the cor.
responding week last year. The total catch
to date is only 25,51I barrels, against Sc ,9ls
barrels in 1887, 5s.557 in 1886, 25S,9OO barrels
in 1885, and 319,69S barrels in 1884. 1t will be
seen that this seasons catch so far is not
half as large as the two preceding years, and
mere trifle compared with the catches of
1885 and 1884. In fact the present catch is
the smallest for great many years.
Saturday mackerel struck in in large
quantities off Cape Elizabeth.

A Good Days Work.

Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock in the
forenoon, the schooner Henry Morganthau
left this port for the fishing grounds. When
short distance off the Cape, school of
mackerel, the largest seen so near this port
this season, was encountered In the after.
noon the weather began to look rather tenn.
pestuous, and fresh northeast wind was
blowing. This made it necessary for the
schooner to seek the shelter of the harbor,
which was reached at o'clock p. m. She
had in the meantime, however, taken forty
barrels of remarkably fine mackerel, and
ninety barrels of other fish, the whole net
ting the vessel some $500, while each men,
Der of the crew received about $50 for his
share of the catch. The men rekconed that a
very good days work, and hope to meet
with more such luck.

A Sea Captains Luck.

Last week, Capt. Warren Taylor of Saco,
captured whale off Bryant's Rock, from
which he distracted five pounds of amber
girls. This valuable perfume, which also
has the remarkable power of increasing the
odor of other perfumes, is found floating on
the sea or lying on the sea coast, and in the
intestines Of the spermaceti whales, and is
worth more then SIS an ounce. 1t is gray,
morbid secretion of the liver of the sperma-
ceti whale, and when of good quality is
streaked with black and yellow, exhales an
agreeable odor II rubbed or heated, and is
SO soft that itnay be fiattened in the fingers.
1t contains about IS per cent of peculiar
fatty, fragrant substance, called ambreine
which is extracted by boiling in alcohol, and
separating the crystals that form in the
cooled solution. 1t is thought that the sub
stance is product of disease. The Jumps
of it are from three inches to foot in diam
eter, and from one to thirty pounds in
weight. The largest piece ever known
weighed 1872 pounds. Capt. Warren feels
quite elated over his find, which will net
him many hundred dollars

The Architects Meeting.

To the Editor of the Press:
In the report of the Architects meeting
published in this mornings PRESS there
are some mistakes as regards the prices fixed
for architectural service. Heretofore the
rates charged have been IL per cent fol
plans. and 2 IL per cent for superintendent
This was not in accordance with the rates
adopted by the American Institute Of Archi-
tects, which are IL per cent for plans and
/ IL per cent for superintendent; making
the same total of 8 IL per cent on cost for
full services.
The Architects of Maine have agreed to
adopt the Institute rates as being better
division of charges. as the rate of 2 IL per
cent heretofore charged for drawings WITH
out superintendent has been inadequate,
This percentage applies to new work costing
over 5000. For work costing less than
$4,000 a list of special rates has been
arranged
The report that this new schedule OF
charges was made after consultation with
prominent contractors is erroneous. No
such consultation was deemed necessary
the Architects themselves being best judges
of what constitutes a reasonable compensa.
tion for architectural service.
Yours sincerely,
STEVENS & COBB.

That is TO say, your lungs. Also all your breath

Not only the larger airpassages, but the thousand
OF little tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are cfogged and choked with matter
which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot
half do their work. And what they do they can
not do well.
Call 1t cold, cough, Group, pneumonia, catarrh
consumption or any of the family Of throat and
nose and head and lung distractions all are bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There is just one sure
way to get rid of them. That is to take Boschee's
German Syrup, which any druggist will sell you at
rs cents bottle. Even If everything else has
failed you, you may depend upon this for certain.

left him there, as he supposed, for the day

got good start and went straight through
theiwindow taking sash and all. The dog
was quite severely cut but he was quiet for
the remainder of the day.

Growers Association.

The Wisconsin Cranberry Growers
Association met in II. O. Kruschke's s
hall, at Deuster, Aug. IA, at , p. m.
The attendance was as large as could
be looked for ut this busy time OF year.
Growers from along the Wis, Valley
road were well represented. Reports
we're received from all cranberry sec
tions giving estimates of pro5&bie
Yields. These will be published i'll
sheet form and distributed to all the
cranberry growers whether members OF
the Association or not. Bud 1t IS hoped
that ali will see Il dollars worth III
these reports, and become members. II
any grower does net get the circular he
may obtain one by addressing the sec
retary. J. H. Treat, Meadow Valley,
Wis.
The crop will not be large one, ow-
ing in the first place, to the territory
being burned over. Also the blossoms
have blasted badly, in some places as
high IS three-fourths are lost. While
there is here and there marsh hav-
ing a full crop, there are many having
but partial crops Under these circum-
stances the growers are expecting fair
prices for their berries. The opening
price is expected to be about SIS per
bN. The price Of gathering was set as
so cts per bushel for hand picking, and
ST per DAY and board for naen at raklng
berries.
A general discussion was INDUCED In
as to the feasibility of the Association
to sell their berries in the different
markets instead of depending on buy
ers to come here to buy them. Near
" all favored the plan, yet it was con
sidered too big task for this year, ow-
ing to lack of thorough organization.
Yet such is the end to be aimed at and
is to receive further attention at the
next annual meeting, which will be
held the second Tuesday in JAN, 1889,
