that will subject him to reproof from the

FORMER speaker.
PORTLAND, Me. Aug. 26.-It was ten
minutes after o'clock p. m when the
presidential party reached here As the
train arrived at the Union Station a salute
of twentyone guns fired by the Port
land Naval Reserves. President Roosevelt
was met by Mayor Boethby and was intro
duced to delegation of citizens, including
Thomas B. Reed. Judge William l. Put
nam, Judge Clarence Hale, Ex-Governor
Henry b. Cleaves, Gen. Joshua L. Cham
berlain. James II. Baxter and Ex-Governor
Frederick Robin. The President was es-
corted TO a raised platform just outside
the train shed and spoke for fifteen min
utes TO a crowd that filled the great square.
The President said:
Mr. Mayor, and You, My Fellow Citi-
zens. Men and Women Of Maine-I wish 10
say a word 10 you In recognition OF a great
service rendered not only 70 all our coun-

After speaking the President stepped
back to the train. AS il began TO move
whistles from a dozen engines were blown
and the battery guns doomed again. The
train left at 1880 on schedule time for Hav-

TIE KING is IN LONDON
Walks Unassisted From Train to
His Carriage.
He SALUTeS The HAPPY CROWD
He Appears Vigorous and is Apparently Able
to Go Through Coronation Ceremonies.

London, Aug liking Edward arriv-
cd in London atI5 30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. He suffered no fatigue
from the journey, and left the train
unassisted.
| As the King stepped from the train
the huge mass of people who had col
| lected about the station greeted him
with mighty cheer. which was re-
peated again and again as the carriage
bearing the King drove away. His
Majesty drove in an open carriage to
Buckingham Palace
| Judging by appearances the King
not ouly will be able to go through the
coronation ceremonies. but will be per-
fectly capable of performing all func
tions of the service without discom-
fort Ills return to London was NO
eomplished without any Ill effects and
his first public appearance since his
operation delighted even those who
had the most serious approximations
with regard to the Kings condition.
The group of railway officials and
few court functionaries who awaited
the train exhibited MANY signs Of nm
casiness which were not lacking among
| the crowds which jammed the APP
proaehes to the Victoria station in
which n squad of life guards had been
| placed. A four-horse royal carriage
with red coated outdrivers was drawn
up 10 await the arrival of the train.
The King, accompanied by the
Queen and Princess Victoria, stepped
out of the Gear and walked across
crimson cloth on the platform some
twenty yards to his carriage. The
Queen and Princess yictora entered
! The vehicle aud the King followed, APP
parently without dicifiulty, and four
royal servants placed rugs about his
knees. The King stood up straight as
if he had never had an illness in his
life, took off his hat and bowed to
friends on the platform ard to the
crowds behind the barriers. He
seemed TO be in the greatest good hu
NOR and evidently was delighted to
get hack.
Despite few drops of rainfall, he
drove ont without the top of the car
riage down His face was perpetually
lighted up with smile of satisfaction
and he looked anything but an inva-
lid. The Prince and Princess of
Whales and theirchildren drove out to
Buckingham palace from York House
and just before their majesties arrived,
they appeared on the Palace Balcony
and were loudly cheered by the crowds
outside. The demonstration increas-
ed as the King approached and after
their majesties had entered the palace
the crowd sang God Save the King
several times.

MEoToRIc SHOWERS PROMISED.
A Brilliant Display Expected During
August.

Somewhere between the dates OF
August . to H." says Mr.. Justice
Stain, the we'll known Baltimore MS.
tronomcr, we may expect a display
of shooting stars. OF course, how
much of a display it will be II is inn
possible TO foretell. The shoot az STARS
which will appear upon the nights OF
the dates above specified are called
the perseids' since their radical point,
or position from which they appear To
come may be traced to the constella-
ton Perseus. OF course, the shooting
stars have nothing otherwise in com
mon with the constellation.
1.-THE three principal displays of
shooting stars are the perseids, which
occur in August, and the leonids and
andumids, the latter of which both
occur in November. Besides these
three there are many minor radiants,
and probably strays or isolated dis
plays, the latter of which generally
fall to the earth as more or less large
masses and may afterward be found
upon the earth.
1T is estimated that hardly day
passes but that more or less meteors
fall to the earth's mass
Meteors contain MANY of the ele-
ments as we find them upon the earth
iron, nickel, cobalt, tin, copper,
etc. Some meteors are so hard that it
is next to impossible to grind and poi
ish their surface, suggesting crystal
liked carbon, in fact, microscopic di-
Almonds.
Among the gases, hydrogen has
been with certainty found included in
some meteors.
Astronom ers deduced for the Aug
INST meteors an orbit which closely re-
sembles the orbit of Comet H., 1862,
showing that the perseids travel about
the sun and that the earth's orbits
cross each other.
1.-THE constellation Persius contains
one OF the most wonderful stars in the
heavens, Algol, the demon star, and
enc of the finest star clusters visible
in even "a moderate sized telescope.

WORKING ON THE CUTOFF
THE FoRCE OF LARosERS GREATLY
INCREASED lately.
All the Cats Have Been Opened ruts .
ina steam shoveis and other Heavy
Machinery.

Work on the Baltimore and Ohio low
grade freight line from Cherry Run 10
Wilson'S is now well under way. The
working force has been largely I'M
creased during the past several weeks
and hundreds of laborers are at work
with picks and shovel constructing
the line
All of the cuts along the line have
been opened mp. The deepest one
will be seventy feet and the longest
will be ono near North Mountain,
which will be one mile in length and
will have an average depth Of ten feet
all the way.
One of the heaviest pieces of stone
work i'll the construction OF that end
of the cutoff will be a stone arch bridg
forty feet high over Back Creek. Sid
ings have been constructed at Beard Is
aud ut Black Rock, near Cherry Run,
SO as to enable the contractors TO get
in their steam shoyels aud other heavy
machinery to be used ia eonst rueting
the road
The civil engineering corps at work
on the cutoff in this county and sur
veying for the proposed cutoff ut Paw
Paw, which will take straight course
instead of following the many bends
of the river, have been doubled the
past week or two. There are now for
.ty men at work on the corps. The
route for the proposed short line Mt
Paw Paw crosses the Potomac twice
