A novel photograph is to be seen in the
collection at R. H. Coombs & Sons store.
1t was taken by Miss Morey a summer Wis
itor at Castine, and represents the steamer
City of Bangor on perfectly calm water.
The peculiar feature of the picture is in the
reflection of the steamer, which, showing on
the swell caused by the steamers wheels,
appears twisted and distorted but clear and
distinct 1t is very seldom that all the con-
ditions can be found for making such pic
ture.

owners in the matter, received word from
one OF the party that owing to other business
engagements the party was scattered and
