A Smart Bow.

The schooner W. C. Pendleton arrived
from Harpswell yesterday morning, and the
tide being against her she made her line fast
to buoy just off the lower Grand Trunk
wharf. About half past two o'clock Capt
Weber and his man, took the boat and
went to the buoy to fix their line. The man
got ON the buoy to attend to the line but, in
some way, the line slipped and the vessel
drifted.
Capt. Webber's eight year old boy was the
only person left on the schooner. When the
child saw the schooner was adrift he cody
went forward. dropped the anchor and pay
ed out enough chain to hold the vessel safely.
When Capt. Weber saw the vessel was
adrift he started in the boat to get to her and
managed to get on board, but not until she
was safely anchored. Then he started to
get to the man on the buoy but ON account of
the high wind he was unable to do so. See
ing the tug Belknap going by Capt. Weber
hailed her and was towed up to Widgery'
wharf, the man on the buoy being taken of
by the tug. The presence Of mind Of the
eight year old boy was remarkable, not only
in letting 60 the anchor but in paying out
the chain to hold the schooner.

with the greatest interest by our citizens gen.
orally, as well as musicians, and, when we

and Mr.. Berry has not only given brief
sketch of the societies that preceded it in
New England, but the main events in the
life of the Beethoven Society, a full list of
its members and orchestra, brief biographi-

A Journa,istlc surprIse.

The "Americon Newspaper Directory"
published by Geo. p Rowell & Co., OF New
York, which is now in the binders hands,
and will be issued in a few days, shows that
the newspapers of the State of Maine have
larger average issue than those Of any State
in the Union, viz, 6,424 New York stands
second, her papers having an average Issue
of 4,785. Massachusetts follows with 3lS9.
The issue in the Western and Southern
States is smaller. In Kansas 592, Arkansas
57S, Florida 527, Mississippi 456, and 50 on.
1929, thus showing that the papers of Maine
issue nearly three times as many papers as
the average for the whole Union. The pub
locations issued at Augsuta and Portland I'm
der the auspices of Mr. e. G. Allen have
something to do with this unexpected con-
dition of affairs.

A Valuable Invention.

We had an opportunity yesterday to in
spect a valuable invention in the shape of a
window that cannot get out of order by the
breaking of the cords in the window casing.
The cords are on the outside Of the casing
and run over pulleys on the top, so if one
should break or get out of order,l it can cas-
lily be repaired. Then again there is an ar
rangement by which as the lower sash is
pused up, the upper sash is lowered; still an
other by which the lower sash is so fastened
at the bottom, holding the upper sash tight.

window. The invention is that of Eleazer
J. Mcdonald of Brunswick, who has ap-
piled for patent. The invention must come

The death of this estimable citizen Of Bux-
