Amazing Vitality of Seeds.
From the Lancet.


The duration Of dormant vitality In seeds
is still veXed question. Some botanists
Of no mean repute support the view that
seeds exposed to the air after having been
long deeply buried in the earth resuscitate
and terminate usual; others, while ad-
hitting that healthy seeds retain for lin
tied time in favorable circumstances these
powers of identification, are disposed to
doubt the possession of this capacity for
any heightened period and to treat many
OF the reported cases as founded on i'm
perfect and inconclusive observation.
NJ. Jules Poisson. in the Comics Rendus
de academic Franchise, points out that
considerable variations exist in the reten-
ton of their germinal power in the seeds

Poisson himself adduces the following
cases: In the park of the castle of Com

self-sowing for several years, but as the
trees again reared themselves the legume

occasions in different parts of the wood.

Mr.. Douglass Wallach became the second
owner, editor and publisher Of The Evening

to render the parer popular and profitable.
His ownership covered the period OF the
civil war. during which l frequently met
him on his rounds through the government
departments In search OF the latest and
most reliable news. His close and persistent
inquiries and push secured all that could
be obtained. and 1t is not unlikely that the
accuracy and reliability of his issues then
contributed very largely to the popularity

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 5. 1900
Election Next Monday.

Next Monday, Sept. s, is election
day in Maine. Complete state, county
and representative tickets are TO be
voted.
AS is usually the case in State cleo
lions In other than presidential years,
the campaign in this county has not
been a particularly active one, al
though this week there are many and
able speakers in various parts of the
county.
But while not much public speaking
has been going on, quiet canvass has
been made, and everything points to
the usual substantial republican vic
tory in Hancock county.
The boastfulness of our friends the
enemy has simply resulted in making
the republican rank and file the more
determined to defend at the polls, and
thus maintain, the proud record OF the
republican party In this county.
The strength of a party is sometimes
It's weakness; sense Of security often
keeps at home voters who would 9TH
erwise leave no stone unturned to get
at the polls in time of danger.
The republicans OF Hancock county
have reason to be proud of the ticket
il presents to the voters. Senator
Buck has already made his mark in the
Senate. 4. s. Clark, of Bar Harbor,
the other senatorial candidate, has
already made his mark as a public Of
hcer, and cannot fail to make worthy
successor to Col. Hamlin.
The highly commendable policy OF
retaining in office men whose fitness
is conspicuous for the positions they
I'LL, led to the denomination at the
county convention of every county
oficer-John F. Knowlton as clerk of
courts; b. Il. Tracy as county attor-
ney; o. P. Cunningham as Judge of
probate; Howard F. Whiteomb as
sheriff; John P. Eldridge as county
commissioner; o. w. Tapley as county
treasurer, and William b. Campbell as
register of deeds.
Loyal support Of this admirable
ticket means continuation Of the
business affairs of the county on the
safe and economical lines that have
heretofore characterized them.
No continge ncy has arisen, SO far as
we are able to see, that calls for other
than full, hearty and loyal support OF
this ticket at the polls.
Ellsworth's candidate for represen-
tative to the legislature, F. Carroll
Burrill, made an enviable record at
the last session. He was unanimously
renominated. His past record, his
present attitude on all is, ues OF pub 'ic
concern, his proven ability adequately
to I'LL the position to which ne aspires,
and party loyalty, not to mention party
pride in having rel nblican city rep
resented By a republican, these
things should appeal strongly to every
voter.
Let every republican voter work
diligently from now until election day,
and on that day do his duty, and the
result can easily be foretold.
