London. Feb. 15.-The news OF a revolution In
Corea attended by the murder Of the Prime Min

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.

ia yesterday.
ESPECIAL TO THE rREss.I

Augusta, March 30.-The annual meet
ing of the State Board of Health was

tary, DR.. A. G. Young of Augusta.
The Board listened to the reports from
the secretary of his routine work, and
the gratifying facts was apparent that
at present there is very little contagious
disease anywhere in the state. Another
fact of public interest demonstrated by
the figures obtained by the report on vital
STATISTICS is that Maine is shown to have
a death rate from all diseases lower than
any other New England State except Yer
mont.
The fact was also made apparent that
our local death rates are being estimated
upon proportion lower than the actual
figures. II from year to year our cities
and towns would make their estimates
upon their actual increase the showing
would be much better.
The Board adopted resolution urging
upon cities and towns to make a careful
local census at least once in two years
and forward the returns to the Registrar
of Vital Statistics.

were appointed:
