talk Of the changes over the timber used
in old days.
Years ago oak and pine were thought
the only materials for such work, and
when the revenue cutter "Manning" was
being built at the Atlantic works couple
of years ago much talk was created over
the fact that Oregon fir was used in the
sheathing instead Of the customary pine.
This was made all right by the showing
of the government tests, which proved
that the fir had a greater strength than
the pine, and the fir is being used more in
later vessels.
All OF the planking used in the "City OF
Rockland" averages seventy-four feet in
length and some Of the planks run nearly
ninety feet, while none are less than sew
enty feet. The keel, stem and stern posts
are Of oak OF unusually long lengths, and
the keelsons, ten in number, are of
Oregon fir, fourteen by fourteen, and are
also of exceptionally long timber.
The new vessel is 300 feet over all, 39 feet

A correspondent of THE AMERICAN
from neig boring town who attended the
graduation exercises at Castine normal
school, without attempting to send a
detailed report of he exercises, sends the
following glimpses:
The selections for the chorus were fine
and well rendered. The A class in geol
ogy, taught by DR.. E. E. Philbrook,
recited in a manner which spoke we'll for
the abilities of teacher and pupils. 1t
was very interesting from first to last.
In the evening the music by Pullen's
orchestra, of Bangor, was delightful.
The essayists spoke well and clearly,
expressing very beautiful thoughts.
Castine has a right to feel proud of
John l.. Hooper as one of her rising
young men. He spoke eloquently OF
"Ralph Waldo Emerson.
There were fifty-four graduates. The
ladies all dressed in white. / doubt if
far or near there can be found SO many
sweet and lovely faces in a class of their
s'ze-faces unusually attractive and
re- ned.
The class ode was written by Brooks
willie girl, Miss Edith w. Stevens.
The weather was fine. No more beauti-
ful evening could be imagined. As the
moon rose, rejecting on and lighting the
waters OF the hoy and all the surround
in land, l s'cod on The piazza steps of
Normal hail eaz ng at the scene and
hought, is tt ere a spot on earth fairer
than Castine tonight? The crowd poured

rect and scattered-never again to be all

STATE OF MAINE.

HANCOCK ss:-To the Supreme Judicial
IEVERARD H. GREELY, of Eden, in said
II county, respectfully informs and petit
lions the said court as follows:
l. He. the said Everard H. Greelv, is in the
actual present possession of the following
described real estate, situated in Gouldsboro,
in said county, viz: The main island of Long
Porcupine Island in Frenchman's Bay, and
the small island now called 1.-THE Hop" and
formerly called "Ash's hubble, connected
with the main island by a bar; ana he and
those under whom he claims title have been
in actual and uninterrupted possession of all
said real estate for more than ten years be-
fore the making of this petition.
g. He, the said Everard H. Greedy, claims
and has estate of freehold, to wit, an es-
tate in fee simple, in all of said real estate,
which said estate and title came to him
through complete chain of valid mesne con-
veyances from the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts. and also through a complete chain
of valid mesne conveyances from one Benja-
min Ash, who had acquired title thereto by
adverse possession.
g. An apprehension exists that some per-
son or persons unknown, claiming as heirs,
devisees or assigns or in some other way, by,
through or under one William Pearce Parrott,
deceased, claim some right, title or interest
in the said premises adverse to his the said
Everard H. Greely's said estate of fee simple;
and the said Greedy further specifically
alleges on oath that the persons, names and
residences of each and all of said supposed
claimants are unknown to him, after diligent
inquiry.
creates a cloud upon the said Greely's title to
said land. and depreciates the market value of
his property therein.
Wherefore the said Greedy prays that each
and all said persons in any way claiming any
right, title or interest in of said lands by,
through or under the said William PeaTce
Parrott be summoned before the court to
show cause why they, either of them,
should not bring action to try their, or his,
title to the above described premises.

The new steamer "City OF Rockland" of
the Boston & Bangor steamship company,
had her trial trip on Monday. To- day
she is in Bangor for the first time, and in
honor of the, event there is to be this
evening public reception on board.
The "City OF Rockland" was built at the

The new steamer is the equal in length Of
any wooden steamer built in New Eng

of slightly wider beam in proportion to
the length, so that she cannot truthfully
be said to be the largest wooden steam
ship ever constructed in New England.

the loins now and then, but 1 paid little
attention to it, as the attacks usually
passed off. Two years ago the trouble got
worse, the aching more severe and of
longer duration. About this time urin-
airy trouble set in and developed into
something serious, the secretions being
scalding and at night annoying, breaking
my sleep five or six times. took remedies
for the complaint but they had no effect,

Simple Exercises For Growing Girl


Stand up straight. Throw the chest
forward, the abdomen back, the weight
on the ball of the foot. 1t looks better;
it makes you less tired; it is far better
for your health; it will tire you at first,
but in time you will be stronger for the
effort. Practice the correct position of
ten-say three times a day. Drill your
self in it.
1t is an excellent plan to take deep
breathing exercises after the morning
bath and before dressing.
First-Take in a deep breath slowly
through the nose while you count four
and exhale it slowly and quietly through
the nose while you count four.
Second.-Take in the breath slowly
through the nose, counting four, and ex-
hale it slowly and with noise through the
nose, counting four.
Third.-Take in the breath slowly
through the nose, counting four, and ex-
hale it quickly and forcibly through the
nose with a snort.
Fourth.-Take in the breath slowly
through the nose, counting four, and ex.
hale it through the mouth slowly and
with noise while you count four.
Fifth.-Inhale through the nose, count
ing four, and exhale through the mouth
quickly and with force, as in painting.
These five exercises will, if persisted In
daily, increase the lung power and &C
complish much for growing girl that
will tell for her in health in later years,
when she assumes duties and responsible
tiles which tax strength and health to the
utmost

Tie Ruling Passion.

"If I should ever be called upon to
furnish indisputable proof of the inherent
pride of woman" said a police sergeant,
Il would point at once to her invariable
rule of dressing up in her best clothes
when she goes out to commit suicide. In
my experience on the force | have had
occasion to handle a good many suicides
and afterward investigate their personal
affairs. and in every instance | have
found that the poor unfOrtunates prepar-
ed themselves for death by donning their
best bib and tucker,
The majority of the printed reports
of suicides say that the clothes of the
dead woman were good or well made
or elegant. If the woman contemplate
ing suicide owns silk waist, she wears
it. Her broadcloth skirt and silk petit
coat naturally go with this garment, and
she selects her best shoes.
Il have looked up the history of many
of these respectfully clad suicides and
have found that they owned but one
gown with which they could make de-
cent appearance on the street and that
that one good dress was chosen, without
exception, as the appropriate garb in
which to make the exit from this worlds
stage 1t makes no difference what man
ner of death is chosen, the costume is
carefully selected.
Let woman sleep her life away un-
der the influence of drugs or burn her
soul out with acids or sink into the slime
of the river, she clothes herself in her
most becoming garments and seeks the
end with apparent tranquility. Her ir-
stnct of gentility and elegance in clothes
Is with her to the last, and even in the
face of death she shrinks from public
appearance in unbecoming raiment."
