L. :. Government to Establish stations on
Rivers in This state
Maine viii soon have What is known
as the government flood service .
Early i'll July Dr.. II. c, Frankentipld,
chief forecaster of the weather bureau.
will establish the system along the An
droscOggin, kennebec and Penobscot
rivers. He will establish stations at
the headquarters of these rivers and
also one every 40 miles to the sea, or in
the case of the Androscoggin to Merry
meeting bay where it flows into the
kennebec. Daily observations will be
taken of the height Of the water and
its rise or fall, and at the end of the
month official record will be sent to the
bureau in Washington.
In the springtime and the event of
heavy rains the results of these OBJ
servations will be telegraphed to the
department daily, so that the officials
may have quick and accurate knowl-
edge of the condition of the rivers.
These predictions of changes will be
made and ample warning given of dan
gerous floods. The service is expected
to be of value to lumbermen and others
doing business along the Maine rivers.
1t has been established along the
Missouri river and thousands of dollars
have been saved to cities and towns
which have been warned of coming
dangers
An official of the geological survey
Will accompany DR.. Frankentield to
Maine to inspect the water power of
the State and make an official report to
the government. Altogether the trip
will last six weeks.

Piscataqua River.

Thou singest by the cleaning isles,
By woods, and fields OF corn,
Thou singeSt, and the sunlight smiles
Upon my birthday morn.
But ! within city, l,
SO full of vague unrest,
Would almost give my life to lie
An hour upon thy breast,
To let the wherry listless go,
And wrapt in dreamy JOY,
Dip and surge idly to and fro,
Like the red barbor buoy;
To sit in happy Incidence,
To rest upon the oars,
And catch the heavy earthly scents
That blow from summer shores;
To see the rounder sun go down,
And with it's parting fires
Light up the windows of the town
And burn the tapering spires.
And then to hear the muftled tolls
From steeples slim and white,
And watch, among the Isles of Shoals,
The BeacOn'S orange light.
0 River flowing to the main
Through woods, and fields of corn,
Hear thou my longing and my pain
This sunny birthday morn;
And take this song which sorrow shapes
To music like thine own,
And sing it to thy cliffs and capeS
And cragS where am known!

! The greatest part of the moasses
now used in the United States is a
sugar house product. The importation
Of grocery molaSses has been but
small for many years, and that mostly
from Porto Rico. Molasses from Cuba
was nearly all for the retineries, and the
importation nearly ceased about dozen
years ago through sudden change in
our tariff. Previous to that time the
duty was light on molaSSes, but quite
heavy on sugar, so that the same amount
of raw material in the form Of molas-
SEES could be imported at a much less
cost of duty than it could as sugar;
therefore the refner could make more
money by refining molasses into sugar
| than he could by working over importa-
tions of raw sugar. and his require
| ments caused Cuba to prepare and ship
| a large portion of her cane product in
the liquid form rather than in the dry.
| But when a time came for a while that
our tariff was taken off from raw sugar
| it was then more profitable to import
| the material for refining i'll that form,
and Cuba, promptly responding to the
new requirement of the American re
finer, turned her juice into sugar, And
so ended the molasses trade.
Now in regard to the current burning
question of reducing the tariff on Gu
