tiers summer visit The building is OF
granite with red stone trimmings and In
style of architecture bears some resem-

water in direct from the ocean which
throws the surf against the rocks not two
rods distant and it will be tempered to
the desired degree.

Eastport people ought to keep cool the

In the interests of truth Bath denies

One cannot curb a little innocent curl
osity as to what would be the feelings of
