How a Snake swallows a Frog.

The method of swallowing is a very
simple one, although the frog be large
more than half an hour may be consumed
in the process. The two bones Of the
lower jaw are separate and capable OF
independent movement; so the reptile
loosens its hold upon side Of its jaw,
and pushing that side forward as far az
possible it drives the teeth in again and
then draws the jaw back to its original
position.
The result is that the prey is drawn
down by the movement. The process ii
then repeated by the other half of thu
jaw, thus inevitably forcing the victim
inward. The snake skin stretches enor
mously, and the jaw is Of course dislo
Gated, but the extensible hgaments hold
the bones together.-A. g. Mayer ID

the great victory of General Jackson at

make this celebration of the great victo-
ny his BEST 1t will be state affair in
this respect, that distinguished Demo
Gratis from various sections will be invit-

already engaged Chambers Band. Jack
son relics, pictures OF jackson and old

more than local fame by his unique cele-

he lives Portland people will not be al

They Are Watching williston.

1t is understood that other churches
of this city are watching Williston, with
the idea of adopting the new feature
there, the Mems Saturday Evening Club,
providing it turns out to be all that is
expected. So far it has worked well,
and there are those who believe that it
will be as great new departure as was
DR.. Clark's famous society years ago. 1t
has already brought in some who had
not been to church for long time, and
the plan to make active workers of non
church members, is regarded as some
thing so entirely new that all the church
es will watch the experiment with much
greater degree of interest than would be
the case had the work been confined en-
tirely to church members. Every meet
ing of the club will be watched by mem
bers of other churches, to study
the workings of the new institution.

BICYCLE POLITICIANS.
for officers of the Maine
Division of the League of American
Wheelmen.

Il This is the political season among
wheelmen, that is to say, the campaign
for officers Of the Maine Division of the
League of American Wheelmen is in
progress. There is no contest, and the
result can already be forecasted with
probable certainty. So far as known,
there is only one set of candidates; those
were nominated at the fall meeting on
Labor day. The bicyclers have no place
at which to congregate and cast their
votes, but between October Is and No
vember Is send their ballots by mail to
the secretary of the division. The pres
ent membership in the state is 426, a
substantial gain, almost double the num-
Der a little more than year ago.
Chas. L. Bachelor Of Saco, who has
been an efficient and energetic chief
consul, retires from that prominent office
with an able record, and civil service
rules pertain in the selection of new
candidate for the position, the choice
having fallen upon Mr.. Sherman G.
Swift of Belfast, the present vice consul,
and a man well fitted to be at the head
of wheeling interests in the state.
Philip G. Kilborn of this city, is the
nominee for vice consul, and is in every
way qualified for the Office.
Charles A. Litchfield of Lewiston, has
acceptably and creditably discharged
the duties of seoretary-treasurer the past
year, and very properly has been renom-
mated.
W. r. Stevens of Lewiston and S. B.
Phillips of this city, have both been re-
nominated for representatives.
There seems to be entire unanimity
among the division members this year,
no signs of strife of any nature being
visible. 1t is not SO in Massachusetts,,
where red hot contest is in progress
between the present chief consul, who
failed for various reasons to receive the
regular nomination made by commit
tee selected for the purpose of determin-
ing the official candidates, and a new
man who has been urged to make the
struggle for the position by those who
have been dissatisfied with the present
administration. Among the minor ofic-
ers, many changes are also proposed,
and it is creating quite contest.
In Massachusetts, therefore, not only
the political pot is boiling with consider
able animation, but bicycle politicians
have likewise little pot which may be-
come SO warm as to get seriously near
boiling over. Perhaps the gubernatorial
result could be guessed with more GER
tainity than can the determination of
the question of the chief oonsulship in
that state just now. Both candidates
have strong following. Maine wheel
men are watching the proceedings with
interest

manned here since, with the exception of

turer.
