A study of balsam will be carried on
by the Bureau of Forestry this summer
in the Adirondacks and in Maine.
Work has already been done in the
AdirOndacks, and the object of the
coming seasons work will be to con-
clude the study, the results of which
will probably be published next spring.
The main purposes of the Investigation
of balsam are to determine it's suitable
ity for use as paper pulp, the quantity
which is now standing, and the results
that can be expected in the production
of a second crop under conservative
methods of numbering. A study of the
poplar in Maine has come about
| through the increased use of poplar as
paper pulp material. It's general scope
is similar to that of the balSam inVesti-
cation. The work on southern harl-
woods this year will be Il continuation
of the study which has already been
carried on during two field seasons. Its
purpose is to determine the stand, the
present and the possible uses, and the
best methods of management for the
following important commercial hard
woods of the South: Tulip-tree, white
oak, post oak, chestnut oak, bass
wood, chestnut, the hickories and white
ash. There is no more material meth
Cd of spending government money
than along these lines of preservation
of things in the forest and the seas.
Like the studies of the United States
Fish Commission along our sea coast,
the advances in forestry ara practical
and wise.

Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1903-07-03

The month which closed Tuesday may
be put down as the coolest June on
record, the mean temperature at the
weather bureau being only 56.7 de-
grees. The nearest approach to this
was last June, which was 59.4 degrees
and June of 1897, which was 5S.2 de-
grees. The average June temperature
for Portland, based on 80 years record,
is G3.3 degrees, being between six and
seven degrees higher than June of this
year. The Warmest June on record was
in 1884, which figured up an average of
Co.'S degrees, a good ten degrees higher
than the month just closed. The
month was remarkable fer being cool
all through, if we except two days, third
and sixth, which We're slightly above
the normal. In regard to precipitation
the records show that rain fell on IA
days, and the total for the month was
$50 inches, which was PIT inches more
than the June average. This nearly
compensates for the deficiency in May,
which amounted to 2.92 inches.

Tuesday. He was a prominent athlete
during his course.
W. H. w. Adams is one of Port
lands best BARRIERS and there is no one
in the business who can surpass him
at his trade, but he recently msde a
serious mistake in getting the Argus
to figure out some of the interesd ting
things in connection with his long ser
vice in Portland. The Argus says that
Mr.. Adams has during his time
oljiciated at 100000 shaves and then
adds that he has used 300 tons of va Sc
line i'll the ordinary course of busine So
Let's see: that would be 100000 pounds
OF Vaseline to the proportion of 100000
shaves, making an average of three
quarters of pound to each customer!
a good Illustration of how homo folks
fail to appreciate the beauties of the
things which they see every day is
found in the following story: In a
small town on the line of the Maine
central between Bangor and Vance
boro, is to be had one of the finest
views of Mount Katahdin that is to be
had anywhere. All their lives the pee
pie of that town have been familiar
with the view. Some of them APP
preciate it; most of them do not. One
night there arrived there 4 young imam
from d distant part of the State, who
had never seen Katahdin, but who
had eyes for the beautiful. He w ent
there to teach school, so that all the
people were interested in him. He
came down street the next morning
with one of the natives. AS he walked
he suddenly noticed the beautiftht
view. Filled. with admiration, he
stopped and. exclaimed: What noun /,

GOOD CRUISER
IS DES MONIES
New Warship Exceeds
the Contract Speed
on Trial Trip.

BOSTON, Dec SIN her official trial
over the Cape Ann course to-day the
new cruiser Des Moines exceeded her
contract requiremnts of 1875 knots an
hour, making an average of 1888 knots
per hour. 1t is thought that the tidal
corrections will not materially change
these figures.
Next to speed the noticeable feature
of the trial was the remarkable steadi-
ness of the ship. The conditions of the
trial were favorable on the whole. The
sea was moderately smooth and the
wind, which struck the warship abeam
on the north and almost ahead on the
run home, served to make good draught
for the boilers.
On thu other hand, the atmosphere
was hazy during the greater part of
the run so the stake boats could not
be made out with any great certainty.
The northerly run was covered in
three seconds over two hours, a speed
of 16.49 knots, or one-one-hundredth
of a knot under the contract.
1t was on the run back that the Des
Moines showed her true worth. One
by one the number of the revolutions
of her engines were increased until
on the second leg they reached 19i per
minute. The machinery worked in fine
form and a speed of 1877 was attained
on the return.

A|RsH|P AGAIN
READY FOR TRIAL
Langley's Aerodrome
Awaits Favorable
Weather.
Defects Have Been Removed
and Machine Is in
Perfect Order.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The big
sixty-foot aerodrome of Professor Sam
uel H. Langley, the secretary of the
Smithsonian Institute, which was un-
successfully launched several months
ago, was prepared for another expert
ment to-day but unfavorable wind con-
ditions prevented the test. The ma
chine has been put into perfect order
and is ready to be hoisted onto the su-
perstructure for another trial at the
first opportunity, possibly Monday. No
attempt will be made TO hoist the ma
less than twelve miles an hour, in or
der to avoid possible danger to the men
engaged in the work, who might be
swept into the stream thereby. F. NJ.
Monley Professor Langley's chief as
sistant in the flying machine re-
searches, and who has been actively
directing the plans and preparations,
was aboard the houseboat all day with
his force of mechanics, and Thomas w.
Smith, the official photographer of the
Smithsonian Institute, has his rapid
fire camera prepared to make the Off
cial Photographic records of the flight.
Professor Manley made observations of
the wind velocity number of times
during the day, but at no time did
conditions warrant an attempt at fly
ing. Manley left the boat after
o'clock this afternoon, merely saying
that it had been impracticable to at
tempt the launching and that he could
not with any certainty predict when the
aerodrome would be given another test.
Both he and Professor Langley say
either in the motor, the launching
mechanism or any other part of the
flying machine apparatus. Professor
Langley said that the time of the next
attempt now hinges on wind condi-
tions. He said that it might not be
possible this season and yet it might be
found practicable in the next few days.
He credited the trouble with the last
experiment to a metallic projection in
the launching track, and explained that
that obstacle had been moved. He said
it was not likely that experiments
would be undertaken again at Wide
water, where the wind conditions
proved so unfavorable.
The experiment will be made in all
probability off the Government arsenal
grounds in this city, at the confluence
of the Potomac River and its eastern
branch, which offers a broad sweep for
the test.
