Courteous and Friendly France.

At this time when the other nations
Of Europe are losing sleep in their eff
forts to think up some new way to prove
their friendship to the United States.
France comes to the front with her usual
happy faculty of doing the right thingin
the right way at the right time. France
has no coronation on the program at
which our representatives can be
send over for a tour of the land, but it
has found a very graceful and very i'm
pressive way to remind us that there
are such things as Franco American
ties.
They are busy now in Paris arrang-
ing a performance at the Grand Opera
entertainment ever given even in that
home of the drama. The proceeds will
be given to the Mckinley Monument
fund. The government is giving its ac-
tive support and every social and ar
tistic organize ton is sharing in the
work. In the circumstances it is not
pleasant for us to recall that when
President Carnot was assassinated our
sympathy was shown only in a few
formal official messages. That, how
ever, should only serve to double our
appreciation of the present attitude of
the Parisians. And now comes the
news of another graceful act-the pur-
chase of Chartran's portraits of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's wife and daughter by
the French Government and their pre-
sentation to our President. The hand
of friendship thus extended by our sis
ter republic will be warmly clasped
across the seas. May the traditional
friendship between the two nations
never be less strong than it is today.

kittery is to have a high school of
it's own and will not have to send its
pupils to Portsmouth. The trustees of
the Traipe academy fund of Kittery
have voted to build, this summer, a
high school building. The fund now
amounts to about $4,000. 1t vns left
by Robert Traipe of Boston and Kittery
for the purpose of establishing an
academy or high school in his native
town. The sum was then a little over
$50, 600, and since that time, by care
full investments, it has risen to its
present figures. The trustees have a
site selected, and have voted not to ex-
ceed $20,OC0 for the building, which will
leave an income of about $1,000 for the
support of the school. This, with the
money row appropriated by the town,
should, they believe, make enough to
give the pupils good high school edu-
cation.

There may be a man in PenobScot
county that can outsleep William K.
Favor of Brewer, but after the record
as a sleeper established by him on last
Thursday night there are good grounds
for doubling it. Mr.. Favor lives within
a hundred yards of the river in Brewer
and less than 200 yards of the toll
bridge in that city, yet the first that he
knew of the loss of the toll bridge was
at $40 o'clock Friday morning when he
went out into the street and saw the
break in the big structure. He began
inquiring as to when the thing occurred
and upon learning that the railroad
bridge and that section of the toll
gridge had been swept away at about
8 o'clock the preceding night, looked
round in a sort of bewildered way and
remarked: "B'gosh, / guess that l
slept some last night" The strange
part of it is that Mr.. Favor's house
sits close to Center street, Brewer,
which was the thoroughfare down
which the majority of the excited
Brewer people rushed on their way to
the bridge and they made a deal of
noise for all were shouting and talking
in their loudest tones. This is not the
first record as sleeper that Mr.. Favor
has established, however, for few
years ago a business house three doors
above his home was Quilted by fire in
the night and he knew nothing about
it until he rose in the morning.

The Age of Birds.

Ora w. Knight, of Bangor, former
president of the Maine Ornithologicai
Society, says il is extremely dif6cult
to tel! the age which birds live. If
is hard to keep track of individual
birds from year to year in the wild
state and those in captivity probably
do not live their natural length of
years. One sea gull, known as Gull
Dick to the, keepers of the Brenton
Reef lightship. was observed in that
vicinity for "a years. This bird was
very tame. and had certain peculiari-
ties by which it could be positively
identified. There is no telling how
cid the bird was when it was first OBJ
served. so nothing more than its min
imum age can be stated with entire
accuracy. 1t is quite probable that
The gull was over 80 years old when
Il died. Crows and ravens are popu-
larly supposed TO live from so 10 100
wears. but there is no convincing evil
dence that this is true, and good au-
1horities on ornithology doubt it. 1t
is thought likely that eagles and the
larger hawks live to be so years old.
antk perhaps more. Again, there is
no proof that this is true. Mr.. Knight
thinks that the sparrows. warblers
and other small birds live from six TO
10 years, but confesses that this is
nothing more than a rough estimate
