Fish Far from Home.

Redding, CAL, reports that the top Of
a hill two miles from that town was
recently covered with small but per-
fectly developed saltwater fish, The
hill is $50 feet above high water level
and 80 miles from the sea. The night
before the fish were found there had
been an unusually heavy storm and

NATURES OWN CURE.
Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without DAN
serous Dragging of the Stomach.

Not until Hyomei was discovered has
1t been possible to truthfully say that a
remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for few minutes four
times day, and during that time every
particle of air taken into the air pass
ages and lungs is impregnated with the
germ killing and health giving Hyomei.
1t is the only treatment that cures ca
tarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes disor-
dered digestion or brings on some other
diseases. and never makes a permanent
cure of catarrh. Hyomei not only kills
the germs in the throat and nose, but
penctrates to the minutest air cells in
the lungs and enters the blood with the
oxygen, killing the germs in the blood.
1t frees the mucous membrane from
poisonous microbes and gives perfect
health.
A complete outfit costs but 81 90 and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suffi-
Gent HyOmei for more than a months
treatment.
Percy w. Means and Bowditch &
Webster have SO much faith in the
merit of Hyomei that they agree to re-
turn the money to any purchaser who
may be dissatisfied.

Forest Commissioner Ring, Supcrin-
tCndent of Schools StetSOn and PrcSi-
dent Fellows of the University of
Maine in relation to the appointment
of public instructor in forestry, in
compliance with the law of 1891. At
this conference it was decided to APP
point an instructor who should be To-
Gated at the University of Maine dur
ing the college year aud the balance
of the time should be under the direc-
ton of the forest commissioner either
at the office in Augusta, at work in the
woods studying forest conditions or
lecturng to the students in high
schools.
Before the opening of the next term
at the Il. of NJ. Commissioner Ring will
appoint Samuel n. Spring to the posi-
ton. Mr.. Spring was recommended
most highly by Prof. Roy l.. Marston,
to whom the place was rendered, and

Samuel N. Spring to Be Made In

Program of Farmers Institute ir
Aroostook County Next Week.

Hon. f. r. Ring, State forest COM
missioner, arrived at his office in the
capitol building, yesterday morning,
after passing Sunday at his home in
orono. Immediately on his arrival he
began teiephoning to different parts of
the fire zone to learn the condition re-
garding the forest fires, which. last
week, had caused such great damage
TO timber and other property in various
parts of the State.
Inc first point with which he secured
communication was H6ulton, where he
conNersed over the wire with Hon. Al
bert A. Burleigh, who is one of the
best Informed men in Aroostooll county
on the subject of forests and forest
fires. Mr. Burleigh said the fires In
the woods in that section of Maine were
not so fierce as they were, last week,
and were now merely smouldering. He
felt satisfied that unless a big wind.
like that of last Wednesday, should
spring up there would probably be no
further danger in his section.
Whitcomb, Haynes & Co. at Ellis
worth Falls We're next called up. Mr..
Whitcomb conversed with Commissions
er Ring and informed him that rain,
blessed rain. was falling in that yicin-
lty, and that the fires in Mariaville and
township % We're now under control.
The damage to the latter territory will
be very large as the whole township
has been burned over. The fire did not.
however, spread to adjoining territory,
for which the owners are thankful.
Hon. Geo. II. Eaton. Calais. tele-
phoned MIR. Ring that fires at that end
of Washington county were practically
suhdued. He said that a big fire was
raging in New Brunswick about %
miles east of st. Stephen.
Mr.. Ring also talked with w. N.
Shaw at Greenville. Mr.. Shaw said
that no new fires had broken out in the
Moosehead region and that those
which had been burning We're under
control.
The above information from the four
most important points in the forest
fire district of the State is cheering
news to the people, and it is hoped
that the worst is now over. Mr.. Ring
thinks the danger is passed and that
rain must come within very few
days.
