METEORS REACH THE EARTH
These Strange Visitors From Space are
Alike in their Nature.

All of you have been out of doors on a
oloudlCss evening and have seen a star 10
parently fall from its place in the sky and
glide in long line of light toward the
horizon
Perhaps you have wondered as l used
to do, how long it would be before the
stars would all be gone from the sky since
one fell so often. / did not then know,
what | have learned since, that shooting
stars are not true stars at all, but only
| bodies which appear for an instant and
then disappear forever. Let us call them
meteors, and thus avoid confounding them
with real stars, for the real stars are as
enduring as anything in the universe
In common speech, however, the term
mcteors is largely confined to those shoot
ing stars which are very largo and bright
and are seen only now and then. Since
they do not, however, differ from tho
shooting stars IN any important respect, so
far as we know, INST of the learned sehol-

Where Ships Sails Sometimes Sing.

Some curious facts have been noted
with regard to tho sound conducting quail
tiles of ships sails. When rendered con
cave by gentle breeze, the widespread
sails of ship are said to be- excellent con
ductors of sound
ship was once sailing along the coast
of Brazil, far out of sight of land Sud
denly several Of the crew, while walking
along the deck, noticed that when passing
and requesting a particular spot they al
ways heard with great distinctness tho
sound of bells Ginning sweet music, as
though being rung but short distance
away.
Dumfounded by this phenomenon they
quickly communicated the discovery to
their shipmatcs, but none Of them was
able to solve the enigma as to the origin Of
these seemingly mysterious sounds which
came to them across the water.
Months afterward, upon returning to
Brazil, the crew determined TO satisfy their
curiosity. Accordingly they mentioned
the circumstance to their friends and were
informed that at the time when the sounds
We're heard the bells in the cathedral Of
San Salvador, on the coast, had been ring
ing to celebrate a feast held in honor Of
one Of the saints.
Their sound, wonderful to relate, favored
by a gentle, steady breeze, had travelled IL
distance Of upward of 100 miles over the
smooth water and had been brought to a
focus by the sails at the particular locality
in which the sweet sounds were first heard.
This Is but one of several instances of z
similar kind, trustworthy authorities
claiming that this same music Is often
heard under somewhat the same circum-
stances and especially in "a moisture laden

MISS MONAGHAN'S BENEFIT.
enthusiastically Received by Her Ellis
worth Admirers.

|
That Miss Mabel Monaghan has lost
none OF her popularity with the people of
Ellsworth was evident last Thursday
evening at the benefit concert and hon at
hancock hall. The attendance was large
and included many from Bangor and Bar
harbor' Young lady friends of Miss
Monaghan acted rs ushers.
The reception accorded Miss MONAGHAN
was enthusiastic. Though their anticipa-
/ tiohs had been brought up to high pitch.
those vino attended were not disap-
pointed. There was the same thrilling
voice, with none of its sweetness and pu-
rlty lost, and its beauty en- HANGED by great
er heXibility, and the greater control of
the singer over it. In expression, too.
Miss Monaghan has improved. Several OF
her selections displayed this quality of
her voice to advantage. She was accom-
panied on the piano by Miss Mary F. Hop
klhs IN her usual finished manner
Miss Monaghan was assisted by Miss
Lillian May Kane, OF Buehill, reader, and
Dr. Oscar Wasgatt, of Bangor, vioinist
Miss Kane Is recent graduate Of the
Emerson school OF oratory, Boston, and
this was her first appearance before an
ELLSWORTH audience. She has reason to
feel battered at the heartiness of the re-
ception accorded her. as the audience was
most critical one. Her manner on the
stage was easy and graceful and her in
depreciation of the stories read was ex-
cellent. She Was repeatedly encored

THE NORMAL SCHOOLS.
RESOLUTION OF THANKS TO OUR SEN
AToRS AND REPRESENTATIVE
-SAWDUST AND FISH
WAYS DISCUSSED.

The regular meeting of the board of
trade Monday evening was well attended.
In the absence of Secretary Knowlton,
Henry w. Cushman was chosen secretary.
superintendent of Schools Hoyt A.
Moore was elected to membership.
The president read communication
from Secretary Knowlton regarding the
appointment OF committee by Governor
Cleayes to report upon the advisability of
establishing two or three more normal
schools in eastern Maine, and suggest To-
cations for the same. Mr.. Knowlton
thought the board of trade should make
an effort to secure one of the normal
schools
DIR. George a. Phillips spoke of urging
the board to take action.
The following were appointed com
mlttee to look after the matter: IIoyt A.
Moore, DR.. George A. Phillips, John A.
Peters, jr., Judge l.. A. Emery, Judge A.

THE RIVER APPROPRIATION.
President King laid before the board
the matter of an appropriation for dredg-
ing Union river. He announced that
though the efforts of the senator and
representatives. from this district an
appropriation OF $4,000 had been made
Judge John b. Redman moved that a
vote OF thanks be extended the senator
and representatives for assistance rem
dered in getting the appropriation.
Charles II. Drummey spoke of some of
the obstacles encountered in getting the
appropriation, and the faithful and fruit
ful service rendered by Senator Hale.
Tint he had finally succeeded was due
largely to the fact that he gave his per-
soma guarantee that no more refuse from
the mills should 90 into the river 1t was
the duty of the board of trade now to
sustain Senator Hale in the guarantee he
had given. lie suggested that a special
committee be appointed to enforce the
law regarding the dumping of refuse in
the river
Judge Redman suggested that the same
committee be instructed to take action
toward providing tishWays in the dams in
the river.
