Seats In Lincoln Park.

To the Editor of the Press:
viii you please allow space to call the at
tention of the Park Commissioners to the
extreme need of more seats in Lincoln Park.
1t is safe to say that there are not half seats
enough on Sundays and in fact on any pleas
ant evening The park (Which it Is intended
to do), gives pleasure to hundreds of our
working citizens and their children, and this
pleasure would be greatly increased II there
were more seats, and 1t would also keep
MANY from seating themselves on the grass.

Some Good Advice from the State
Board of Health.

oSato VI nO0tttts
AUGUSTA, June 30.-The quarterly meet
ing of the State Board Of Health was held at
Augusta Monday. The secretary reported
that he had entered into correspondence
with the United States signal officer at
Washington in regard to the appointment of
a meteorological station in the northern part
of the state and with persons at several
points, with view to securing observers
AS there are at present no authentic meteoro-
logical observation TO refer for these parts OF
the state, it seems desirable to have such
stations at Caribou, Fort Kent, the Moose
head Lake region and another point as near
the northwest boundary as practical.
The resolve was passed that the board of
health learns with great satisfaction the
work of the house to house sanitary inspec-
tion by the local boards of health of Angus
ia and Portland, and that the board urges
upon local health boards of other cities and
towns in the state the necessity of carrying
out such inspection so far as they may be
able.
Professor Robinson gave verbal report of
the outbreak of rabies in Brunswick. Since
the muzzling of the dogs three children have
been bitten by dogs wearing muzzles. Pro-
Iessor hoblnson was reSuested by the board
to observe and collect the Sacts pertaining to
the outbreak as carefully as paSsible and to
communicate them to the secretary of the
board. In view of the well known scot that
dogs affected with rabies. during the Second
stage of the disease or the stage of excite
ment, sometimes course for long distance:
over the country, biting dogs or other ami
mails they come in contact with, there is
| possibility that outbreaks of the disease may
| occur in other towns. If a suspicious cast
should so occur the secretaries of the re
| spective boards of health are requested to
communicate the facts Immediately to tht
secretary of the State Board. Towns in
| which outbreaks occur are recommended tt
take the same prompt measures that are nov
| in force in Brunswick to destroy all bitter
animals or preferably for scientific purposes
to secure them alive and to muzzle and sc
