the AUGUST MErEoRs
Now Showing Through the heavens
at tho Rate of Four or Five a
Minute.

Commencing with last Sunday night and
running on for several nights. Natures
magnificent annual pyrotecbnic display takes
place. At the point In the earth's orbit
through which we are now passing is an enor
nous ring Of small solar satellites. AS the
earth rushes forward on Its annual tour of
inspection through the celestial bodies at a
rate.of 60. 900 miles day 1t comes across these
scraps Of worlds each August. On account
Of the infinite speed with which the earth is
moving toward them and the force OF its at
traction. these little bodies strike our atmos-
phere at terrific speed Great friction re-
sulting In their burning up is the conse-
quence. Tuesday night the effect was partic
ularly fine. An observer, who was aroused
by a cat concert, was compelled TO
stay at the window admiring the beautiful
spectacle. From the constellation Perseus, a
string Of stars in northeastern heavens, they
radiated In every direction at the rate of
four or five minute. Some were large and
seemed more like shooting guns. Some
would leave golden trail of shining star
dust behind. For nearly an hour the STAR
gazer sat by the window spell bound.
From the fact that these August meteors
apparently come from Perseus they are
called PeTseids. They last from the 9th to
the 18th, and are most brilliant on the 10th
and 18th, where they average from 200 to 800
per hour with clear sky. The comet of
1862 has an orbit that very nearly cuts the
earth's orbit at point where the earth is on
the 10th of August. II a stream Of meteoro-
Ids were moving with this comet they would
appear like the Perseids, the radiant point
being in the same place in the constellation
Perseus. Hence it is reasonable to assume
that the Perseids are the debris Of the comet
of '62 or are the remnants Of its mighty
foil

The Methoaists and oamp-meet-

The Methodists and camp-meet-
ings.
To the Editor of The Press:
In order that the position held by the
large majority of the Methodist Episcopal
ministers of the Maine Conference upon the
question of Sunday camp meetings may be
clearly known, permit me to quote the fol
lowing resolutions adopted at the last an
nual conferences;
custom Of holding camp-meetlngs over the Sab
bath, whose chief object is to provide for finan-
cal denelencies IS one form Of this looseness, e.
the laxity OF sentiment, regarding Sabbath obser-
vance, and is reproach to our people, while 1t
provides for the enemies Of the Lords day a
weapon offensive and defensive against the
church in all its efforts to correct crying and in
ResoIred, That as Conference we dIscounte-
nance the holding OF campmeetings, temperance
conventions and like gatherings on The sabbath,
and refuse to sustain the same, unless such pre-
caution Is taken against the dissertation OF the
Lords day as practically to remove such reproach
from these meetings,
1t is not pretended by those who are up
holding the Sunday campmeetings at Old
Orchard that precautions have been taken
sufficient to remove the reproach that their
'chief object is to provide for financial de-
same thing, but say, I'VE do not re.
fer to these in justification of our action"
etc. Wouldn't 1t be of interest to know
to what they do refer as a justification Of
their actions? And isn't the argument that
others are sinners as well as they rather
cheap?
The assurance that they are actuated by
disinterested motives. and their question
whether they are ''to be accused of speculat-
ing in the religion of Christ" are ludicrOusly
inappropriate. These are not the points at
issue. Sentiment is all right, but sentiment
is degraded when 1t is used to create sympa-
thy for bad cause and distract attention
from the main point. Yours truly,
JOSHUA M. FROST.

railways between this city and Montreal, it

FELL FORTY FEET.
Patrick McDermott's Trip over the
Cliff at Fort Allen Parry.

Patrick McDermott, who lives at IA adams
street, while probably in that condition caused
by too great indulgence in intoxlcants, wan
dered up to Fort Allen Park last night
There his unsteady feet carried him to the
edge of the cliff. The next thing Patrick
knew, he was In the Grand Trunk yard, hav-
ing slipped and bumped and fell over 40 feet
of jagged rock to the level ground beneath.
The police were notified by the railroad men
who found McDermott. and the injured man
was taken in the patrol wagon to the station.
McDermott is partially bald and the rocks
had cut his head, the blood streaming down
over his face and neck from several wounds.
He also complained of pain in his left side.
City Physician Thayer was called and found
that McDermott had received no serious in
juries.
