when they leave Labrador and are still
plump when they pass the Bcrmudas
lean and hungry do they drop down in
tho West Indies for their first square
meal; and it requires some weeks of fat
tcning their thin, shrunkcn bodies before
the diner out OF the Antilles will pro-
nounce them good eating.
The first and hardest half of their jour
ney is over. How many days it has occu-
pied may never be known. Most migrants
either fly at night and rest in the day, or
vice versa; but the plovor express flies
both night and day. That its speed Is
wonderful is shown by a record made half
4 century ago September 10 and II, 1876
hundreds of nocks passed over the Bcrmu-
d1s without stopping, and September IL
immense numbers of the birds appeared
ut the Barbados 10 miles to the south.
After Il short stop of three or four
weeks on the northeastern coast of South
America the flocks disappear and their
arrival is noted at the same time in
southern Brazil and the whole prairie
region of Argentina almost to Pata sonia
whore they remain from September to
March-thC summer of the southern
Hemisphere. The native birds of Argcn-
tina are cnprossed in family cares; but
no wayfarcr from the north nests in thu
south.
The plovcr have Il six months vacation
before they resume the serious affairs of
life aud start back toward the Arctic
But not by the same course. Their
northward route is the plovcr's secret.
We only know that they disappear from
Argentina, and shun the whole Atlantic
coast from Brazil TO Labrador In March
they appear in Guatemala ana Texas;
.spril finds their long lines trailing across
the prairies of the Mississippi valley;
the first of May they are crossing our
northern boundary and the first week in
June they reappcar at their breeding
grounds in the frozen north. What a
journey! Fight thousand miles Of lau-
/ tude separates the extremes of their
elliptical course and 1900 miles of longi-
tude constitutes the shorter diameter.
and all for the sake of spending ten
weeks on the most desolatc land in the

response to a telephone call informing
them that man answering the descrip-

Gorham assault on Il 9-ycar- old girl,
Saturday, had been seen about the

Andrew j. McCulloch had been read

estimated at from $1,000 to $4,000. and

The value Of the hotel building is
estimated at from $500 to $1,000, and
this. too, is Il total loss. All of tho
contents were saved. although for the
most part in a damaged condition.
This is also only partially covered by
insurance, With no fire protection of
any sort in the town the insurance
rates are naturally pretty high, so that
none of the property owners feel able
to carry a great deal.
There are excellent natural advan-
tages for protection of some sort. as n
good-sizcd stream rams through the
town, affordlng d good water supply
for a hand tub or engine. The Maine
Central maintains u powerful p1mp
on this stream to keep the water tow

be made for using this in case of fire.

After two such disastrous fires as
the town has now had, some action will
doubtless be taken towards providing
some sort of protection, especially as
the money paid the Waterville depart
ment for its two calls would make a
very good start
