Meeting of the School Committee,

At the regular meeting Of the School Com
mittee last Monday evening, Messrs O. r.
Smith OF Searsport and + c. Marden Of
Swanville, superintendents in their resper-
tive towns, We're present to confer with the
committee in regard to the Union school.
Belfast has been paying the larger part of
the cost OF maintaining this school; and the
committee decided that the expense should
be apportioned according to the number of
scholars in the respective towns, belonging
to this district, and that Belfast would fur
nlsh text books and supervision without cost
to the towns. Mir Smith thought that a fair
proposition, and Mr.. Marden sald he would
have to refer it to his committee. Both de
ciined the privilege of appointing the teach
The committee on text books, etc, report
ed favoraby on the proposed change from
the eight to the nine grade system, and their
report was accepted. The committee was
then instructed to revise the course of study
to meet the requirements of this change, and
Mr.. Howard, the chairman, is now visiting
the schools to ascertain what changes Will
be necessary.
1t was voted, provided a sufficient appro-
priaton can be obtained, to have music
taught in all the schools. Several members
OF the committee spoke Of the good results
of this instruction in their districts
The committee on appropriations We're in
structed to visit the Brick school house with
builder architect and ascertain lust what
is needed i'll the way of repairs.
Permission was given to close the White
school for two weeks on account cf sickness
among the scholars, the term to be CORE
spondingly extended
The matter of the High school graduating
exercises came up and it was voted to leave
the arrangements to the teachers. The
graduating class asked for Is tickets each
to the exercises, and that was granted with
the proviso that they furnish tickets to mem-
bers of the city government and school COM
mttee.
Permission was given teachers to attend
the meeting of the Waldo County Teachers
Association in Stockton Springs next month.

n coin or other valuables. On the opposite
side of the vault are 90 boxes to be rent-'
for the safe keeping of bonds, etc. They are
of different sizes and prices, to meet lhe re
qurem nts # customers. Each box contains
movable steel box, % inches long, in which
the securities may be carried about if det3,"-
ed, and each box is furnished with two keys.
These keys will not unlock the boxes, how
ever. What is called the master key, which
will be in possession of an off :er of the bank,
must first be inserted, but that does not un-
lock the box. The owner of the box can
then unlock the box with his key, and can
lock it; but he cannot uni ock it again with
out the master key. Thus there seems moth
ing wanting to ensure complete protection
This modern strong box bids defiance to
flames, to falling buildings, to cold chisels,
nitroglycerine or gunpowder. The cashier
himself cannot open it. The time- oek
does thai, at the hour for which it is set.

nished for the New York Clearing House,
which is considered by experts to be the
finest in the world. The vault rests upon a
double-locked foundation of steel rails sup
ported by solid brick work, laid in Portland
cement.
The walls of the vault are 1-2 inches
thick made of plates of alternate layers Of
chrome steel and iron, with one layer of
Bessemer steel as a lining. A fire proof
jacket of steel plate encloses the vault, with
a tive-inch air space. The outside finish is
aluminium bronze, vanished, with frieZe and
moulding at the top. The vault is open to
inspection overhead and on three sides, the
fourth side abbuting against the wall of the
building. The vestibule is s IL inches thick
all of chrome steel, with solid frame. There
are no butt Joints, and the knees and box
corners are welded. The outside door is
3 inches thick and the inside door 10
inches. The latter is tongued and grooved
with indestructable usudurian packing
making it air tight and mpervious to liquids
of any kind. Every piece of steel used in
the construction was tested by an expert, to
see that it was of standard quality, before it
was accepted
The fastening is all done from the inside
The screws used are made of steel and iron

Steel and iron are thus used in combination
throughout, the one to prevent drilling the
other to prevent breaking. The iron may
be drilled, the steel cannot; the steel NAV
