Museum Notes.

September has been record month so
far as precipitation has been concerned,
the total for the month being 8.11
inches. The greatest amount which fell
in "a hours was on the Goth when Las
inches fell. In the sudden and severe
shower which occurred early in the
afternoon of the Oath, .65 of an inch fell
in an hour or so. During no September
since 1894, when the Museum records
were first started, has the precipitation
been as much as during the past month
1898 shows total rainfall of SAP
inches, and 1904 has a record of SIS
inches. The average precipitation for
this month from 1894 through 1907 is
1854, showing that September of this
year has gained AT inches over the
average. In fact, more than that may
be said. 1t has carried off the palm for
the total record since January, 1894.
The months which have most nearly
approached it are November of 1900
with a precipitation of 6.15 inches;
August, 1902, 6.44 and July of 1898
when the rainfall was $50 inches.
W. E. Balch of Lunenburg, who is the
taxidermist for the Museum, is in town

situations and are very fine, both
artistically and in technique. They will
be at the office of the Museum for short
time, and people who are interested may
see them there.
The postage stamp collection has been
greatly increased the. past week by
about $50 additions Several of the
more valuable ones have been donated
