when Birds Are Frightened.

As the balloon neared Petersfeld we
entered IA dense bank Of clouds and ran
Ill them for some three miles, emerging
over the chalk downs and skimming
about $50 feet over windmill Pass
ing over large rabbit warren, it was
amusing to witness the alarm of the
Dummies as they dived into their bur
rows, which from above presented the
appearance of hundreds of circular black
spots.
Balloons have terrifying effect on all
birds. AS one passes over a farmyard
there is always regular stampede of the
fowls under cover, while ducks dash
into the ponds and dive frantically to
avoid the supposed danger. The effect
IF the diving If most absurd, as seen
from above, for often, owing to the
transparency Of the water, the violent
efforts Of the ducks to hide themselves
are plainly visible. Wild birds, espe-
cially game, are also much perturbed at
the sight of the balloon, pheasants crow
ing loudly and running off, while par
tridges which have been flushed drop
like stones into IA neighboring hedge
row. Sheep also seem much alarmed
but cattle and horses appear to take no
interest in the matter. -Macmillan s

A Paper for Maine Homes.

The Weekly kennebec journal is re-
cognized as one of the ablest and most
progressive papers in Maine. Its pro-
prietors are up with the times. Ii has
the only Cox Duplex projecting press IN
the State. enabling the entire weekly
edition to be run with promptness that
brings 1t to its readers with all the newsy
characteristics of morning daily. The
journal has its own special artist. and lis
original illustrations are Of special inter
est to all Maine readers.
In the completeness and interest of it
State news the Weekly kennebec journal
is unsurpassed. Its central position at
the Sta.e capital gives the journal adj
vantages as a newspaper which are Ell
loyed by no other paper in the State.
Every day its reporters visit the State
House and secure the latest and most
authentic news from the State depart
ments. Its position AS the official State
paper also enal les it to present many
matters of public interest to its readers
in way which cannot be done by any
other paper l. is also the owner of a
United Press fral chse and daily Oh
tains from all parts of the world the

There is no important news matter in or
out of the State that is not covered by
the journal.
The Weekly New York Tribune is too
well known to require any extended de
seription.
Both of these papers will be sent a
year to any address upon receipt of the
price of the journal. II is needless to
say that so large an amount Of first class,
timely home reading has never before
been offered in Maine for so small Il
price.
Those who desire first class daily will
do we'll to take the Daily kennebec Jour
nal. Every one knows that the great
bulk of news dispatches come over the
wires at night when the days record Is
completed aud the wires, fred from
commercial uses can be utilized for the
transmission. The morning paper is.
therefore, essentially newspaper. The
Kennehee journal not only has the
magnificent service of the United Press
hut it supplements it with the work of a
large corps of staff reporters, and 4
liberal use of the telegraph for special

1t was happy thought that entered
the mind of Mrs. Lewis Beal of Fairfield,
when it came to her that it would be Il
grand thing for the Patrons of Maine to
purpose of building a cottage and pre-.
senting it to the Good Will farm to be
known as the "Grange building MIS-.
Beal presented this thought at the Po-
mona meeting at Norridgewock, and the
proposition was Immediately sanctioned
by others in brief remarks. We could
see that the large number present were
favorably impressed and some even en-
thusiastic over the measure.
Here is n splendid opportunity for the
Grange to show influence for good and
it, deep interest in any work that tends
10 bless and elevate humanity and
broaden the principles of love and good
will. 1t cannot afford to do otherwise
than to grasp this opportunity n once

rally ever held in the old Pine Tree State.

ness.

Beal, let us stand by the Good Will

let us put ourselves in full sympathy
with every measure that may prove a
