NEW POWER STATION
The Construction Will Be Com
menced Very Soon.
The Plant to Cost $20,000--Much
New Machinery Bought.
Everything viii % New and Up.to. Date With
Increased Capacity.

AS soon as the ground Is free of the
frost. the operations on the proposed
new electric light station will be COM
menced. The plans are completed. the
material is about all ordered and Moth
ing is now lacking but the opportunity
to build.
The present plant has proven to be
too small for the business as it now ex-
lists and the machinery needs to be en-
larged upon, SO the Kennebec Light L.
Heat Co have decided to lay out about
$4,000 in building a plant of brick and
iron that will be roomy and up-to -da tie.
Not only this but they will add machin-
cry so that the plant will be equipped
as it should be to meet the increasing
demands upon it. The best of it all so
far as Augusta is concerned.is that the
material to build and the workmen en-
ployed. will be as nearly all Of local orr
gin as possible. The company will buy
every particle of material that 1t is pos
sible to buy in Augusta. Furthermore,
they find that in the manner that they
are to build it, it will be much better to
have day werkmen rather than to con-
tract for it. SO they will engage COM
petent man to superintend. the work

NO FREsaEI EXPECTED.
The Gradual Melting Away Of the Snow Has
Removed the Danger.

Lumbermen, who have been in the
woods recently. say that there is at
present no indications that there will
be a rapid rising of water in the Ken
nebec this spring. so that those persons
who are in fear each year of freshet
may rest easily for a time. at least.
snow came early last fall before the
ground had frozen as solidly as is often
the case and thus much Of the melting
snow will be carried away by absorb
ton.
There are not any great quantities of
snow in the woods at present and thus
far the thaw has been gradual. so that
even if continued warm weather should
come. the swelling of the streams
would not be great and there would be
little danger of damaging foundations.
Work at the different numbering
camps Is being carried on rapidly and
at nearly all the operations greater
progress has been made thar is usual

record breakers. says the New Yorl
Sun. Mr.. Bonzy has endured and stud
led the climate OF Maine for So years
He began making predictions in 1851
and has foretold the coming Of two OF
three big storms every year since: bu
he says he never fully understood ths
art of weather predicting until nv.
years ago. Then he became convinced
that the weather OF Maine swung
around in a cycle which required !,
years for its completion. According {,
his system. the summer OF 1899 viii b.
exactly like that Of 1928. Last Septem-
Der the Sun published some OF Mr.
Bonzy's advance information abou; the
winter which has just ended. Mr.. Bon
~ then predicted that the snow wouI.
come on early and remain through
February. after which spring would
take control and scatter maytiowers
along the borders OF March snow banks
He also predicted the great tempest
and snowstorm OF Nov Il, in which
nearly 1000 lives were lost along the
Atlantic seaboard. Men who know Mr..
Bonzy and had more or less faith In his
ability cut his representations out of
the Sun and pasted them in scrap
books In order To see how they tailed
with the facts. Though there have been
some minor errors. which Mr. Bonzy
says were due to the fact that his ut
terances were not printed in full. the
general results were very tia,tering to
the prophet and his friends
Fortified and encouraged by past
triumphs Mr.. Bonzy has just brought
out some new and startling predictions
for the summer and fall trade. Spring
will advance rapidly until the middle
OF April. Then there will be cold dry
weather with high winds for two
months and half causing failure
of the hay crop. On June 20. the long
est day in the year. a heavy frost will
occur in New England. and the tops of
hills will be clad in SNOW Memorial
day will be cloudy and moist. and July
will be so cold that men will need
overcoats and gloves. Early in August
series of tornadoes and thunder
squalls will occur in Maine. Floods
and tempests mingled with lightning
and hail will prevail until late in .\u-
gust. after which mellow autumn will
come early and stay late

and will hire the local workmen in It's
construction.
The accompanying plans will snow
something of the plant. One displaying
the front elevation with the so foot
chimney. and the other the ground floor
plans.
The dimensions of the whole plant
will be 11G feet long on the front. which
is the east side and "A feet wide on the
south end. The west side. next to the
river. runs along to a point where ii
will connect with the wall of the lock
upon which it will follow cutting into
the northwest corner of the boiler ROOM.
The front elevation which is here
shown. will be 10 feet high in the boiler
room and rs feet in the main part The
with a five ply tar and gravel roofing
which makes it practically tireproof. To
add still further to that end. the wall
next to the pulp mill will be solid. but
for one door. This wall though Ii will
set seven feet nearer the pulp mil! than
the present one. will be SO feet from it..
The sluice way of the pulp mlll will
have to be changed to set south of it's
present place as the widening o. build

end Of the building will be Is fee. above
where it now extends. making the length
over all 30 feet longer than it is at pres

they can be swung in and make 9 bet

orator, they think should be sufficient
for the present use.
The plant will be so arranged that IN
case of high water so that the water
wheels do not work properly, the con-
nection with 1t can be severed. as the
shaft from 1t is arranged on the fric-
ton plan. Another good feature is that
the generating machines will not be run
from a line of shafting. but will be run
direct from the driving wheel of the
engine and they can be changed from
steam to water wheel power
Owing to the many changes that
have to be made, and the repairs that
are necessary on the heavy parts of
the machinery. an overhead railway
that will sustain a burden of at least
5000 pounds, will be put in. so that any
machine or part thereof. may be taken
on this railway and carried to any part
o. the room. or to the door.
The large switchboard will be along
the wall at the left OF the main en-
trance.

THE SMALL BOY PHILOSOPHERS Its a funny world,' said the small boy,
 "How so?" inquired the man next door
 Well" said the boy, you know our folks let on that they were going to the seashore for week or two? Every body else in the street had gone some where. so there wasn't much risk in saying they were going and then staying home. They couldn't trust me; they knew I'd be out and around the neigh borhood giving the snap away, and so they sent me out in the country to Uncle Jim's. When their seaside trip was over they just opened the front of the house and sent for me to come home. The night after l got there MT. Bunker came around to call on sister, and they were sitting on the porch and was in the hammock. Pretty soon MT, Bunker looks hard at sister and says
 What a lovely coat of seaside tan you have acquired, Miss Ethel Nature evidently laid it on with a charminsly even hand
 Why blame nature?" I yelled from the hammock. Sister laid 1t on herself with muciage brush
 You should have heard sister screech! I wouldn't have told on her, but the mean old thing said I couldn't take her bike when l had busted tire"
 And what was the result?" asked the man next door,
 ''The result" replied the boy with another deep drawn sigh the result was than I got tanning that wouldn't wash off!"-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
