Portland Press: The passage of the
act by the Legislature adding a bat
TALON of naval reserves to the State
militia greatly pleased many of the
young men of Portland who are inter-
ested in such an organization. 1t Is
not expected that more than two
divisions of naval reserves will be or
ganized in Maine for the first year. One
of these will probably be located in
Portland and the other in Bath. These
two divisions will be made up almost
exclusively of men who served in the
auxiliary navy during the late war.
They will probably be partially
equipped and begin work before the
summer is ended. II they are not sue
cessful in bringing about a practice
cruise on a regular man o. war, this
year. they will undoubtedly be in con-
dition for such a cruise in another
year. 1t is barely possible that the two
Maine divisions if organized in time
may take a weeks cruise. this year, on
the u. S. S. Prairie. which will reach
| this part Of the coast on her tour of
duty with the naval reserves of the
country sometime in October.

Portland had a little smallpox scare
of it's own, one day last week. At a
boarding school a scholar was taken
sick and discolorations began to appear
on his face and hands. The regular

fear that it might prove to be a case
of smallpox. A second physician was
called in. and then a third. The pa
tient was subjected to ii thorough eX-

than chicken-poX, and a light case at
that. 1t was a halliday of great
