COM. PEARY, HER OWNER, WRITES
GIVING FULLER DETAILS.

10y - SeSo"o w age OF Al
American Sailing Craft, 10 still
seaworthy and Will BE Pre-
served az Relic.
Two weeks ago there was publishe
In the Breeze a description of tn
pinkey schooner Mary, a rare reli
OF former days In American shin
building, which has come into tn
possession Of Commander Robert Z
Peary recently. The article was IN
complete in detail and We TAX,
pleasure in publishing the followip
communication from her owner ri
garding this interesting craft: -
New York. July 6, 1907.
Messrs. Crowley and Lunt,
Portland, Ne.
Gentlemen:
Referring to the article in your
issue OF June 9th in regard to
the pinkey schooner Mary"
which article contained some in
accuracies, beg to place at your
disposal the following authori-
tative information in regard to
her.
The schooner MARY" is the old.
est existing example of the old
pinkey" type of fishing schooner.
She was built in Portsmouth in
1911, and is second in age of all
American sailing craft, the well
known schooner Polly" built in
1905, being her senior by six
years. Only three other vessels
of this old type are, SO far as /
know, in existence. My attention
was called not long ago to the
TACT that this interesting type of
american vessel had almost com.
pieteiy disappeared, and after
some correspondence I located
the Mary" and finding that her
owner was willing to dispose of
ner, l made the purchase, with
the idea Of restoring the little
craft as nearly as possible to her
original condition, and keeping
her as a matter of interest to
myself. my children and our
friends. The Mary" was brought
from Port Clyde. where she was
lying. to Eagle Island, by my
steward, Charles Percy, and
Capt. Steven Toothaker of South
Harpswell. and then after a brief
inspection she went, as stated in
your article, to the yard Of Mr..
Allen to be repaired. The MARY"
Is 3Sh feet long. liz feet wide,
8 feet deep. and her measurement
is tons gross and z tons regis
tered. She is very strongly built,
her hull appears to be in very
good condition, and I hope she
may last a long time as an exam
pie Of one Of the most interesting
types of American vessels Of
earlier days, graceful and sea-
worthy.
Very truly,

DOG ANSWERED AN "AD."
Remarkable Coincidence in Case of
Lost Animal.

Here is the latest dog story. It is
the story of lost dog which answered
in person an advertisement about him
self before it had been published. 1t
is vouched for by ]. Parsons, proprie-
tor of staid English provincial paper,
the Hastings and ct. Leonards OBJ
server.
One day an advertisement contain
ing a description of lost dog and
offering a reward of five shillings
($1.25) for its recovery was handed
into the office of the newspaper. 1t
was set up in type, with hundreds OF
others, and in due course passed into
the hands of the makeup" for CLASH
fication. While he was perusing 1t a
strange dog made its appearance in
the composing room. To get there 1t
had made it's way up five flights of
stairs.
The coincidence, of course, impress
ed the makeup" as something decid-
eddy out of common. But his astonish-
ment was vastly greater on discover
ing that the animal bore a striking
resemblance to the description given
of the lost dog in the advertisement
which he held in his hand. He kept
the dog in the composing room until
the paper had gone to press, and, an
hour or two later, accompanied by 1t,
presented himself at the address
given. 1t was the dog that had been
lost, sure enough, and the man was
given the five shillings reward. Now
the question has arisen whether the
long arm of coincidence can be stretch
ed far enough to account for the dogs
behavior, or whether it was led to
anticipate the appearance of the ad-
yertisement by some spook

Atmospheric CHANCES.

Prof Milne, the great British sells
mologist, has demonstrated that at
least part of the weather and changes
in the atmospheres temperature
seems to come from below instead OF
directly from the sun. He has been
in the habit of leaving an ingenious
Photographic arrangement in quarries
at night. The Photographic paper,
when examined later, was found to be
marked from time to time by dark
bands, black spots and what are called
singeings. Some of these MARKINGS
occurred at the time of earthquakes.
but by no means all Scientists say
that most minerals become luminous
at frequent intervals. The cliffs OF
Doyer have been seen suddenly to
CLEAN and hilltops become visible in
the darkness. The conclusion is that
the disturbing forces which go on
even at the very center of the earth
are converted before they reach the
surface into heat and light and make
all manner of difference in climate
and weather.

STRUCK FOR RIGHTS
PECULIAR CONTESTS THAT HIS
TORY RECORDS.
Scarcely a Class Of Workers Of the
World Has Not at Some Time
Thus Made Bid for
Its Rights.

The recent strike of the London
music hall artists calls attention to
the fact that there is scarcely class
ers, from lawyers to beer drinkers.
and from parsons to choir boys which
has not at one time or another as
serted its rights and avenged it's
wrongs in similar way.
Not long ago Spain was the scene of
a combined strike of actors through
out its length and breadth, which
arose as sequel to the popular indig-
nation at the election of an undesir-
able Archbishop at Valencia. The po-
lice of Madrid took the extreme step
of closing the Zarzuela theater and ar
resting several of the actors for sing
ing political songs directed against
the government and the unpopular
prelate. In consequence of this in
dignity the whole theatrical world
arose in arms, and meeting of the
Spanish Actors association was held,
at which universal strike and the
closing OF all the theaters In the coun-
try were proclaimed.
The barristers of St Armand, in the
department of Cher, when lectured by
the Judge of the district court on their
habit of stirring up litigation and set

town by the ears" left the court In
body and refused to enter 1t again un.
til the Judge made an ample apology
for his charges, and when at the tri-
bunal of Sens another judge thought
fit to reprimand one of the lawyers for
the defense and had him elected from
the court, all his fellow barristers to
a man signed a protest and announced
their intention never to plead again
amends for his conduct.
At Cracow, not long ago, the doc
tors refused to attend their patients
unless their remuneration was in
creased; in New Zealand. when poll
tax was instituted which pressed
heavily on the trade agents coming
from Sydney. the commercial travel
ers, one and all, determined to boy.

impost was removed or modified; and
In Canton the executioners once de-
clined point blank to cut off any more
heads unless their fee was doubled.

Last Of Famous London Tavern.

The end of June saw the end of the
famous Albion Tavern in London Eng
land. AS a city restaurant the AL
bion has been in existence more than
century. 1t has always enjoyed a
great reputation for its turtle soup,
immense quantities of which have
been consumed at the innumerable
banquets taking place within it's al
most historic walls.
In the old days the sheriff's inaugu-
ration dinners were always held there,
as also the farewell dinners given by
the East India company court of d.
rectors to their departing governo' y
general.
Among the traditions OF the tavern
is one to the effect that Alderman Sir
William Curtis, the well-known gour
mand of his time, once banqueted his
friends there at cost of nearly G4P
a head.

closely. AT this point well-known

that a certain rough-and-ready genius

You can deepnd upon his judgment.

| once spent few days at the re-
markable undertaking of Pastor Bo-
delschwinger, Bethel colony, at Belle
field, Germany. Every visitor is i'm
pressed by the devotion and efficiency
of the deaconesses and brothers who
care for the epileptic, the sick and
the wrecks of drink who make up the
population of that wide-spreading
community. A fellow visitor said:
"Ah, well, you can't expect such devo-
ton in public institution. These
people work from the religious mo-
tive" / have thought often of that
remark, unquestioned at the time.
Why should the public command less
than a private undertaking? Why
ligion, which lays such emphasis on
comforting the sick and visiting the
prisoner, be less potent in great
public institution than in one conduct
ed by private persons? Why should
the commonwealth command less than
the service of her wisest and best
children on behalf of her most foolish
and helpless ones?
After all, 1t is something larger and
more structural which we desire than
the incident of employing many more
women or even of making a career
for educated women out of what is
now a slipshod means of livelihood
for unframed persons. What is really
needed is to gain the increased atten-
ton of the only leisure class of
America, women, to great public
function of constantly and some
times blindly enlarged scope which is
too often disregarded as without
structural import to social progress,
but which, by the very symptoms of
disease and failure which 1t presents,
makes the most urgent appeal to the
student and the lover of humanity.
