This statement was issued with the
consent of the board of health, and has,
it is reported, the approval OF some
prominent physicians, but will no
doubt arouse discussion and elicit she
dissent of many members of the
medical faculty. New York physicians,
who adhere to the hypothesis that the
grip is contagious. advise against any
attempt at quarantining as impractic-
able, and, on account of the low death
rate of the malady, unnecessary. The
grip is prevalent in many parts of
Maine, and the questions raised and
advice given by the New York Board
of Health possess a lively interest in
this State at this time. There is some
counsel that even a layman may Offer.
Do NOT give a free rein to the imagina-
ton. The Oriental apologize teaches
the useful lesson that while the plague
killed thousands, myriads were slain
by the more deadly fear. If any one IS
suffering from a cold, and is i'm doubt
whether it is grip or not, it
is likely that it is not the
grip, but the wise man will make every
effort to rid himself of the cold, never
theless. Another safe rule to follow in
nearly all such cases is to throw

However much we are bound to adj

that Hobson is rapidly diminishing his

The sonnet which is here printed
was written by Professor Chapman of

full tribute to Bowdoins oldest living

who sat at the head of the table that
evening. Professor Chapman is a
master of English. and whatever he
writes, either in prose or verse, is al
ways graceful and finished.
The following interesting incident in
regard to the loss of the Portland is
told. \ colored girl who was lost on
the steamer was in the employ of 4
lady in Portland when she left on her
visit to her home in Georgia. She took
with her the first little suit of clothes
that her mistress little grandson ever
wore, in order TO show them to her
parents in Georgia, and was bringing
them back with her on that fatal trip.
Her trunk was washed ashore and re-
covered and the Portland lady now has
that little suit of clothes which went
to Georgia, came part way back, went
through the terrible shipwreck, and
finally reached it's destination.
There are rumors that new bark IS
TO be launched on the Portland jour
nalistic sea. 1t q whispered that it
will be devoted to the 'swagger set"
whatever on earth that may be.
there is every indication that it will
be dirty white one.
The whole State grieves to hear that
