The Stars in July.

The heavens during the latter part of
the night are of especial interest to as
tronomers just now. Last fall Venus
and Jupiter made a splendid spectacle in
the western sky just after sunset. Now
Jupiter appears in the East soon after
midnight, and Venus will soon be ON du-
ty as morning star. Still more striking
is the appearance of Mars, the earth s
next-door neighbor in going outward
from the sun. 1t makes it's appearance
about 10 p. M, and through the rest of
the night lisa most brilliant object. No
one can mistake this planet on account
of it's firery red color. Mars is now near
er the earth than it has been since 1877,
when Professor Hall discovered it's
moons. 1t will be in opposition on Au
gust4.. Astronomers are watching this
planet closely in the hope that their OBJ
seryations may throw some light upon
the so-called ''canals" discovered by
Schiaparelli, as well as upon it's other
phenomena. The amateur astronomer
has an excellent opportunity here for
making observations and experiments,
and it will profit even those who have
little interest in astronomy to remain up
late one night for the sake of paying
their respects to neighbor that is doing
its best to make a call upon the earth.

ISLAND NOTES.

The grounds about Eden Hall Cottage
1t Peaks Island were brilliantly illumin-
ated Saturday evening by grand display
of fireworks. Mr.. and Mrs. Judson G.
Wescott of East Boston, formerly of
Portland, who are visiting their old sum-
mer house, had postponed their usual
Fourth of July celebration in Boston
with the design of making the occasion
one of special pleasure and enjoyment
for themselves and old friends among
the cottagers residing on the hill. The
light of the full moon was obscured by
the blackening clouds which brought out
with grand effect the pyrotechnic dis
play, witnessed by large number of
people assembled to exchange pleasant
greetings with old friends. Mr.. Wescott
has made his usual round of calls on
friends in Portland, not forgetting ''the
boys" with whom he used to run with the
engine over the Portland & Rochester
Railroad.

Hypnotisn.

The possibility of hypnotism as an an
aesthetic was discussed Thursday by
Professor Fillebrown of Harvard land of
this city, at the meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Dental Society. He claims that
one-half of all professional men can ex-
ert this influence, and that at least 10 per
cent of the patients are sensitive SUBJ
jects. 1t is doubtful, however, if these
statements can be proved beyond per-
adventure; and it is an open question
whether such Remuneration of the indi-
vidual will should be encouraged. Den
tistry is an acknowledged and an estab-
lished science; the admission of hypnot-
ic practices would necessarily foster
fraud, increase the number Of charlatans
and in measure bring the profession in
to disrepute.

The Vermont Press Association.

The Vermont Press Association visited

Thus ended the days sport and the

who had come up for .blood'' and al
ready won one raee-wifhs Harry McHair.
They had George III. in this race and
probably fast one.
Their speaker, rather too smart
young man, entered the stand and SAID
''We shall never come to Maine again
with our horses unless this race is
started"
Secretary Haines, who has been on the
turf as trainer and driver for upwards of
quarter of a century, quietly replied:
"Gentlemen, am sorry that this race
could not be got off this afternoon, al
though you are the only parties that
wanted it. We shall always be glad to
see you, but if you will not come again
we must do our best o get along without
you.''
This, in a quiet, gentlemanly way,
caused small party of smart young men,
who had evidently come in for bluff, !"
to take. their departure. gracefully, at
least so far as further talk was concerned
Bad weather has made this opening
meet on the new kite track not finan-
cial success, but the officials understand
that and are by no means discouraged
They will have another meeting on the

thing will be in readiness.
