vac rcies IN its number have occurred.
The board has suffered losses by the
deaths Of Hon. Austin Harris and Mr.
Charles Frederic Adams, Of the class
Of 80 one of these vacancies is TO be
fll-i BY an election by the alumni. the
other is to be filled by an election by
he members Of the board at its next

Austin Cary Of the class Of 81. the
| forester Of the Berlin. New Hampshire
Timber Company. who two years ago
laid out 5000 young pine trees on the
southern part Of the Bowdoin campus,
| visited Brunswick lately to see what
| destruction the fire which occurred,
/ last summer, had wrought with his
work. He found that the, fire had
| killed a great number of the young
| trees. ana that immediate work must
! be undertaken if his former attempt
| was to be successful. He has decided
4 70 plant a number of pines to replace
| those destroyed by fire, and in a more
! open spot to plant several hundred
! young hemlockS, which in about five
/ years. he will transplant among the
T! pines. Mr.. Cary feels sure that. when
\ this work has been accomplished there
need be no fear that the pines which
have always made the campus 50 at
tractiye, will ever die out. Work Will
be begun in a week upon this under
taking. Mr.. Cary has left the superin-
Francis Snow. 1901. of Bangor. who has
