PROPHETS DISAGREE
Dispute as to Whether Wind
 Affects thc Thermometer.

Has the action of the wind any influence on a thermometer? Come nov. you meteorologists and others,
 who know all about such things, get together and see If you can agree in giving an answer to this query. It came up last night between two
 weather prophets and resulted in an
 animated discussion. one continuing
 that the mercury drops lower on a cold windy night than 1t does on a calm cold night. Not being able to lsettle the dispute among themselves Ia referee was called in, but the man selected frankly admitted that he didn't know enough about the ques- |tion to decide, although he admitted that he had notion that a high wind would help the mercury some in finding its way downward. In or der to get at the facts man who has had considerable experience with the thermometer in all kinds of
 weather was appealed to and he stat led that the wind exercises no influ- |ence whatever on the movements of
 the mercury. The coldest nights we
 have, it seems, are the real sizzlers,
 when you can hear the frost crack
 ing like glass under your feet and
 there Is scarcely enough wind blow
 ing to extinguish a match. When the orator who championed the windy end of the question heard this he
 became furious, dismissed the referee
 with the remark that somebody was giving him a game of jolly and de- clared that he wouldn't believe any thing of the kind unless he had it
 from the lips of Horace Johnson, the Middle Haddam weather prophet.

THE SUPERIOR COURT
Mclaughlin Case for Damages
 d31.Oee Being Heard.

The special term of the superior court which began two weeks ago will close tomorrow. and ths case on trial. Mrs Margaret Mclaughlin against the estate of her aunt, Mar garet Brophy, for $l.0O0 damages, will be the last. This case began late yesterday afternoon. To-day Mrs Mclaughlin testified that Mrs Brophy paid her fare from Ireland. but she paid 1t back the first year she was in the country. As she was paying the final installments a friend asked her If she intended taking the last cent. Her aunt said nothing, but pocketcd the money.
 Mrs McLaughlin's husband, John Mclaughlin, testified that he had often heard Mrs Brophy say that 1t was her intention to give Mrs Mc- laughlin "the place" in her will, by which she meant the house they both occupied. Several people often heard her say this.
 Michael Dunn, who was one of them, heard her say: Margaret (meaning the plaintiff) should leave -off working out and come home and settle down." Upon the morning of plaintiffs marriage MT Dunn heard Mrs BrOphy repeat the statement about giving the "place" to her.
 Some of the furniture in the house was owned by Mrs Brophy and some by the plaintiff. The latter paid for all the medicine used by Mrs Brophy, and when she was able she dined at the McLaughlins' table.
 The defense Is that the plaintiff was compensated for her care and board of Mrs Brophy for the forty three weeks claimed, in having the use of the tenement she occupied free.

TWO BELOW FRO
And Now the Prospects Are For
 a Good Ice Crop.

The icemen are wreathed in smiles to-day. The thermometer dropped two degrees below zero last night and ice formed fast on the ponds. If they all get to work how there is no reason in the world why . biz stock should not be harvested and the price made 50 low next summer that every body can afford to have little ice in his refrigerator. The sudden change and the presence of snow disabused many of the idea that we.wOuld have no real cold weather this season. There is lots of time for couple of months of severe weather and in the opinion of the wise heads we will have fair share of 1t. The doctors welcome it, because they are worked to death attending grip patients and some of them say that if the epidemic kept up much longer they would have to take to the bed themselves. There IS somebody ailing in almost every house and others who ought to be at home, but are trying to stick at their work are doctoring so that probably at no time in the history of the town were there more people complaining of colds, pains in their bones, head aches and other ills of that nature. The open weather helped those who work out of doors, but 1t appears that it was not healthy. Perhaps 1t will be too cold from now on and If so the cure will be almost as bad as the disease.
 In some factories so many are out with the grip, foremen complain that they cannot run their departments to advantage. and say that the situation is worse in that respect than 1t was during the smallpox scare when ev- erybody was vacc!nated, and the virus had such an effect on some they were obliged to take week off.
 A Waterville man states that the mercury in his thermometer was six below zero. In other places 1t was three and four, but Mir Welton's rec ord puts 1t at two.

Whenever President Roosevelt
makes a move which is not in line of
thinking of the big trusts and cor
porations a howl is raised by them and
their friends that he is over stepping
his authority. At present he is using
his influence, if not directly then
indirectly, to have a man nominated
and elected who will carry out the
policies he has inaugurated. This
method of his is offensive to the big
corporations and their agents. They
claim that no other president ever
made such an attempt. 1t seems these
gentlemen are ignorant of the fact
that when Jefferson's second term
came to close he used his influence
to have James Madison as his successor
against Monroe. President Monroe
did the same thing. He used his
influence to have Mr.. Crawford, his
secretary of the treasury, nominated.
Andrew Jackson followed the foot
Steps of Jefferson and Monroe and
Endorsed Van Buren, as his successor.
In 1876 Grant favored the nomination
of Corklin and he opposed the candi-
dacy of Blaine. Hayes took advant-
age of his influence as president in
favor of Sherman. Grover Cleveland
during his second term made no
secret Of his favoring Carlisle as his
successor. The democratic convention
of 1896 ignored his wish and nominal
ed Bryan.
