A Barn Destroyed at Bai1ey,s Island

The PRESS of Tuesday gave an account
of the wind and storm that made things
lively along the Maine coast and cleared
out the crowd at Rigby Park, and it was
then suggested that further particulars
would come in of the work of the wind
and rain. The storm, according to re-
ports received from Bailey's Island, was
very heavy, and considerable damage re-
suited. Mrs. Elden's barn was taken up,
dropped and completely demolished.
That was the work of the first real gust
of wind, the one that made life rather
exciting on Orr's Island. A boat off
Bailey's Island was lifted out of the wa
ter by the wind, carried ashore and brok-
en- up. According to those who were on
the island that night, twas the worst
ever experienced there, and probably at
any other point along the coast.

A Sewer that Is a Sewer.

To any person with an eye for mason
ry construction, it will be time we'll
spent to see the work now being done on
the Almshouse valley sewer. We can
remember nothing of the kind that has
ever been done in Portland before, and
master workmen pronounce this the
acme of perfection in sewer building.
When completed the sewer will be about
800 feet long. The base is composed Of
concrete nearly two feet wide and hoi
lowed so as to make the sewer egg
shape. On this concrete is laid double
row of brick, extending above and curv-
ing in a strong and graceful arch. Every
member of the committee on drains ano
sewers was present at the Almshouse
valley "Wednesday afternoon and gave
the work close examination. They
were well pleased with the work ane
paid City Engineer Fernald high com
pliment upon the mastery way il
which he performed his duties.

Fair commissioner from Maine, arrived
here Wednesday night. General Mat

the signatures at the Maine building,
because great number do not bother to
register; that last Monday the attend
ance was greater for one day than at any
other exposition; and that the pomolog-
ical and agricultural exhibit of Maine
has assumed volume that is creditable
to the Maine farmers and highly salts
factory to Maine visitors generally.

THE GREAT CLOCK TOWER.


Wonderful Tim~pirce with Neither Main
spring Nor Prnduiun.
The great clock tower ia the Manu-
factures building commands the won
der and admiration OF every visitor. IL
is one hundred and fifty feet high, has
four seven-foot dials seventy feet above
the main foor of the building aud con-
tains complete chime cf nine sweet
toned bells, weighing fourteen thou
sand pounds The mechanism OF this
great timcpiece is vastly different from
the ordinary town clock which sur
mounts the courthouse. church or pub
lie school at the home Of the rural Wis
itor. IL comprises the latest horolog-
ical inventions and Is part of system
OF more than two hundred sclf-winding
clocks which are all controlled andreg-
ulated by the master clock in the pa
viliop.e
The great tower clock is part Of the
exhibit OF large clock company, OF
New York. The self-wind.ng clock In
its simplest form consists OF an ordi-
nary train from the center ai Dor to the
eseapement-the other arbors and
wheels and the handspring being omit
ted--a fine spring six feet long aud
.oo6 of an inch in thickness, attached
at its inner end 10 the nrbor and at It's
outer end TO the spring barrel A small
electric motor concealed in the clock
case carries the spring barrel once
around. thereby storing sufficient en-
ergy in the spring to run the clock an
hour AS n resultof the frequent wind
ing and reduction Of friction the power
required TO run self-winding clock 4.
only one forty-sixth part of that used
in ordinary clocks The motor will
run year without attention at cost
OF less than twenty-five cents. The
master clock at the pavilion synchro-
nizes all the clocks throughout the ex-
position grounds and buildings by an
hourly electrical impulse which in
stantly correets every clock 70 the sec
ond.
The fact that the company produces
an accurate tower clock which win op-
crate perfectly without reference 10
the steadiness Of the tower or the loca-
ton OF the controlling clock is leading
TO the introduction of the electric tow
er clock In many places where the orr
dinary weight and pendulum clock
would be inpracficable
