The wonder lights of the hill cities of
the beautiful valley Of the Kcnnebec
arc among the greatest attractions of
a fairy like or Aladdin like feature that
[ have ever seen. Perhaps for one
born and reared. spending most Of a
life in q fiat country. these seem more
attractive than to one born and reared
here. and accustomed to these
beautiful exhibitions of God and man.
The beautiful city of Augusta think.
is replete with these ever changing
flashing lights and reflections. both day
and night, and I always pause in my
tracks to view and wonder at these
beautiful effects. The winter season
presents these strikingly sparkling eff
fects in moro pronounced degree than
at any other time, and the late sun
rise and early sunset, and early even-
ing and night. bring them to view
when all are up and about. They are
to me almost equal to the starry vault
Of the heaven, to which they truly
flash out as a bordering rim of golden
light on the horizon.
The lights Of the city seem to run
from the placid river up and into the
starry dome, and join in the song of
praise to the beauties of the Creator.
'Eh2 evening hours are now vieing with
the balmy summer, in the sightlincss
Of these fairy lights.

you a beautiful view Of the myriad Of
tWinkling lights Of our city.
An evening stroll across the bridge
will give you q Venetian scene that is

before the ice comes. But the golden

AT the full OF the moon she vics with

Did you ever catch Whit of foul
breath? Was ever anything more Of
fensive? Surely nothing is more hu-
initiating to the possessor of such
breath than to see a friend turn away
in conversation or remind you of the
odor.
Do such sufferers realize the cause of
this condition? Let us tell them, if
they do not.
1t is nothing but catarrhal condi-
ton of the head, throat and lungs. The
mucous membranes are diseased and
inhamed, constantly seereting foul
poisonous and nauseating matter which
contaminates the very air one breathes
while, if neglected, it leads to numer-
ous distressing complications, even
and death, What is the cure? 1t is
a simple one. Call upon Ward e Fri
berg for dollar bottle of Andes Great
Prescription. One bottle will relieve,
often cure, but if the trouble is of long
standing, they are authorized to guar
antee a cure with six bottles, costing
five dollars. This remarkable remedy
purely vegetable one, is wonderful
blood purifier, and besides catarrhal
diseases, quickly relieves all derange-
ments of the stomach, liver and kid
neys. Chronic bladder troubles know
no better remedy. AS positive cure
for all stages of rheumatism and impu
rites of the blood, it has no oaual.
Ask for names of local people who hBye
been cured by Andes Great Prescrip-
tion.

Wireless Message on Atlantic Coast Re-
ceived in California.

celVeO III california.
On Sunday, March 10, A. j. Milli-
son, the operator at the wireless teleg-
raphy station on Point Iona, in south
ern California, observed his apparatus
intercepting message. On investiga-
tion he aseertained that a message was
being sent from Washington, D. c., to
Pensacola, Fla. He adjusted his in
struments, which are the most delicate
used by the United States government
and caught the whole message. At
about the same time part of message
to the battleship Connecticut" from
Washington was clearly read on the in
struments at Point Iona.
Highly gratifed, the operator sent
messages to the Atlantic coast, and re-
ceived answers from the operators at
Washington and Pensacola. Later he
wrote out copies of the messages that
he intercepted on the Atlantic coast
and sent them, with letters, to the op.
orators there.
The distance from Pensacola to San
Diego in an air line is about 1900
miles, and from Washington to San
Diego is about 2,40O miles. The mat
ter has been reported to Commander
H. G. Gearing, Chief of the Equipment
Department at Mare Island navy yard,
California. The messages sent by the
operator at Point Iona to Washington
were only family recorded on the in
struments, but the messages between
Washington and Florida and part of a
message from Washington to the battle
ship Connecticut" 600 miles out in
the Atlantic ocean, were recorded clear
ly. The new apparatus is partly the
