THE FIRE ALARM WHISTLE
Will be Moved to City Hall and Blown
by Compressed Air.

The city government committee on
fire department has engaged Andrew
d. Ward to put in the compressed air
plant for blowing the fire alarm
whistle. The material is expected to
al rive in July, and work on installing
will begin Immediately that is here
The whistle has been blowing in this
city for % years. and the people are
accustomed to it's big bass voice that
cuts off so short when it stops. 1t
was brought to Augusta in 1880 by the
late +. C. Allen, and used at his pub
fishing house now occupied by r. w.
Soule. At that time many expressions
were heard of fear that it would
brighten horses and babies. but no
body over knew of it doing 50. It
called the help Of the Allen concern to
work at morning and noon. and tod
them that work was done at noon and
night until the business was closed out
in 1895, and it regulated tho clocks in
all the country within reach of is
powerful voice.
The city arranged with the firm TO
have it used as fire whistle, early in
1892, and after the business closed 1T
came into possession of the city. An
arrangement was made with tn -Nl-
gusta Lumber Company to put it on
the steam sawmill, and it was moved
across the river in 1898. It's position on
the mill was changed, Il little more
than Il year ago, in order that some
alterations might be made in the
building. The Augusta Lumber Com
pany decided not to maintain its usual
l., "a
account of the contract for heating the
insane asylum being ended and tn"
asylum getting Il heating plant of its
own, and so it was necessary to keep
up steam especially for the whistle,
last winter. That was so expensive
that the compressed air system was
decided upon, after interviewing the
concerns about the city that have
steam plants, and finding that none of
them were willing to undertake the re-
sponsibility of maintaining at all times
a sufficient head of steam for the pur-
pose of blowing it.
The location on the city building
being farther north, nearer the center
of the city and higher in the air, will
probably give better results in the
sounding of the whistle than are at
present obtained. Some of the citizens
have urged the committee to have n
chime whistle substituted for the old
"bull-dog' whistle, but the present one
is all right and would be sufficient for
much heavier calls for noise than are
ever needed here. and the committee
thought that would take no chances on
the swapping of a good whistle for
what might prove to be n poor one.

the insignia provided for the medical
corps under the new uniform order,
The officers of the medical corps
would probably be appointed by the
commander-in-ch chief, presumably ON
the recommendation of the surgeon
general.
Col. Eugene B. Sanger, surgeon gen.
eral of Maine, has invited the medical
officers of the National Guard of Maine
to meet him in Bangor on the nth of
this month at which time the plan of
the medical corps will be discussed and
arrangements made for uniformity in
the matter of insignia, etc.
Capt. Charles f. Davis, of the adju-
tant-generaps office, has evolved neat
collar insignia for the military secre-
tary, to take the place of the English
Text letters IN. s." which is now pre-
scribed. The new insignia consists of a
sword, crossed with a quill pen, which
in the instance of the present military
sccretary's literary achievement, is
wonderfully appropriate.
1t now looks as though a majority of
the officers of the Guard would be pro-
vided with the new dress uniform by
the time they are ordered to Portland
to take part in the maneuVers.
