CLERK AND CARRIER.
Examination to be Held at Augusta
Office August 10, 1908.

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that on Au
gust 10, 1903 an examination will be
held for the positions of clerk and car
rier in the PostOffice at Augusta, Me.
This examina ton offers an excellent
opportunity for entering the Federal
service to bright, energetic young per-
sons who are not afraid of hard work
and as previous examinations have
failed to result in a sufficient number
of eligibles the Commission urges
all persons who are qualified, and who
may desire to enter the Post Office
Service, to apply for and take this ex
animation. 1t may be stated that there
is a wider field for advancement upon
merit in the Federakservice than in
many private employments. While
the salary in the Post Office Service is
usually about $500 or $500 per annum
at the start, this amount compares
favorably with the compensation of a
beginner in private employment
The nature of the examination is a
test of practical, general intelligence
and of adaptability in post office work
Age limit, all positions, IS to As years
From the eligibles resulting from
this examination it is expected that
certification will be made to existing
and future vacancies.
The names of all male elgibles will
be entered on both the clerk and car
rier registers, and appointment from
either register will remove the eligi-
bles name from both registers.
All applicants, male and female, must
l,a
101 executed. Male applicants must
be at least feet inches in height
and weigh not less than 125 pounds.
All persons who have been examined
for the position of clerk or carrier
within the past year and failed to pass
may be reexamined upon filing new APP
plcations in due time.
This examination is open to all cit
liens of the United States who comply
with the requirements Competitors
will be rated without regard to any
consideration other than the qualili-
cations shown in their examination
papers, and eligibles will be certified
strictly in accordance with the civil
service law and rules.
For application blank (Form 1O1),
full instructions, specimen examina-
ton questions, and information relative
to the duties and salaries of the differ
ent positions, and the location of the
examination room. application should
be made to the secretary of the board
of examiners at the post-office.
Applications will be accepted for
this examination by the secretary of
the local board up to the hour of ex-
animation.

CLEANING WATCHES.
An Augusta Man Learns a Thing or
Two About 1t.

One of the employees at the post
Office is the victim of a mean joke, and
at the hands of another employee who
is an inveterate joker and who never
allows the escape of an opportunity
which will allow him to get next to his
associates with some form of deviltry
and make victim of some one of them.
According to the joker, the other man
had watch of an unassessed value OF
about so cents at Wholesale. The watch
did not run very well, and so the man
thought ne would clean it. knowing
that the works in a watch are very fine,
and for fear his eyes were not good
enough, he procured a magnifying glass
as large over as an old fashioned stone
ware saucer, and Il screw driver, and
set at work He got the wheels all
out cleaned them and put them back,
and after winding the watch it started
to run, and worked like charm.
Just about this time, the joker, who
had been watching the job, volunteered
the remark that the man should put
some oil in the works, and said that he
had little butternut oil, if the man
wished it. The victim was easy, and
the joker, producing a bottle of amber
colored fluid, dropped little among the
wheels and springs of the timepiece.
and awaited developments. The oil
seemed to make the watch run better
than before it was put in and the man,
pleased with his success as a watch
smith, put it in his pocket
About an hour later, however, on look
ing at his watch, he found it stopped,
and nothing short of a miracle could
make it run again. The reason of it
all was that the joker's butternut oil
proved to be spar varnish, which when
it hardened, held the wheels as firmly
as if they had been set in cement The
joker still lives, but there is said to be
