The campmeeting season is almost
here, but not all campmeetings have a
| paper devoted to their interests. We
| have received a bright little paper
| The Vineyard" devoted to the inter
ests OF the Seventh Day Adventist
campmeeting at Brunswick, August %
| to September 4.
| The building edition of the Industrial
journal is a publication Of much gen
eral interest and reflects great credit
upon the management Of this enter
| prising paper. 1t has nearly three
| score fine cuts, and has an eXhauS-
| tive review of the more important
| building operations of the past year in
| Maine.
| One of the most important additions
To the electric railroad system Of Maine
IS the new line from Sanford to Cape
| Porpoise, which is now partially in
| operation and soon will be running for
its entire length of twelve miles. 1t
runs through a fine country. and

| The strike in the Belfast shoe factory
is ended but the one in the Worumbo
| wooden mill at Lisbon Falls is still on.
| This Lisbon Falls strike is one of the
| most remarkable that has ever oc-
| CURED in Maine. The Worumbo mill
has long had the reputation of turning
| out some very fine goods n reputation
| based in good part ON the skill of its
| operatives, many of whom have worked
in the mill continuously for from 20 to
| 80 years These veterans had griev-
| anccs which they concluded they could
| not endure and n few weeks ago they
| went out, making no talk about the mat
| ter. demanding nothing and complain
| ing of nothing in any formal manner al
| though of course the management I'M
/ derstood well enough what the going
out was for. The workmen simply had
| to say in explanation of their action
| that the system under which they had
| gradually been forced to work was
| such that they were unable to make
living wages and that they might as
well stay out as work under those con
| ditionS Most of them own their homes
I and not a few have means. so that
| unless the management can replace
them with. equally skllful help it
would seem as if they might secure
what they have taken rather a curious
| way to ask for. 90
Capt. McVane of Long Island, Port

Il the other night. suddenly, without the
slightest warning his dory began to
| move uneasiy just as it would if it
had been moving over some partially
submerged floating, object, and then
| slowly but steadily it arose into the
air. and turning over, threw McVane
Il couple OF SOmerSaultS and landed
him upon the back of big shark He
clutched the dorsal fin and held on
The shark was probably the more
| frightened of the two and the moment
McNane struck him he started off on
the surface at a 2.40 clip. heading about
south by east. on course that would
take him close to Half Way Rock. He
kept to the surface for about two miles
