THOUSANDS OF GEESE
Seen In Flock Flying Northward Early
Saturday Morning.

Few people in SkOWhcgan are up at
the hour Of $50 A. NJ, but those who
were Saturday morning saw Il sight
they Will not soon forget. 1t WIS Il
Cnck Of wild geese, estimated at iOrn
or more, one man stating that there
must have been 10000 of the birds, al
though he did not stop to count them.
They were flying high and were of
course bound north. Tho noise made by
them assembled the breaking of waves
on a ''S:crn and rOck-bound coast" ami
while they We're PASSING over the town
the air wa" so tull of them that it SEEM
ed like the approach of Il storm cloud
The first gentleman to witness this
remarkable sight was Sumner G. Ward,
the veteran bagSagCmaSter at tn"
Maine Central station, who is an early
riser. The Tapping of their wings
awakened him from a sound sleep, and
his first impression was, until he went
out on the lawn and saw what ii really
was, thlt it was thunder. The remark
able part of it is that the geese were
going north SO late in the season. 1t is
past ;htir breeding time, but as every
thing has Keen So backward this spring
it is presumed the birds waited for
warmer weather before leaving the
southland.

cabureter and spark at the spark plug
and carbureter adjustment has not
been changed since the engine was
properly running, if you will throw on
the electric switch and crank the
engine over in the usual manner there
are very few reasons why the engine
should not run. One OF them might pc
q sticky valve, and thereby loss OF
compression This, however, is not AZ
all common, but would be detected III
cranking over the engine. single
cylinder engine should have COM
preston every two revolutions, two
cylinder engine Il compression every
revolution.
1T might be reasonable to suspect
water in the gasoline, which may pc
removed by opening the draining pug
or cock in the bottom of the carDu-
refer, which should take the water
with il. If there is gasoline in the
tank and it does not flow out of the
carburetcr when the printing pin Is
depressed. it must be evident that the
carburcter or the pipe leading to 1t IS
cloggcd This can be easily cleaned.
The adjustment of the vibrator or
vibrators Of the coil may be tested by
throwing on the electric switch anu
taking a piece of wire, holding one end
against some metal part of the
machine, say the steering post or one
of the foot pedals, and press the other
end of the wire against one of the
binding posts on top of the coil units
in the coil box. The vibrator can be
adjusted by scrcwing up or down on
the vibrator adjusting screws till the
vibrator has good healthy buzz
Then by turning the engine over there
should be a buzz at the coil for every
compression in the cylinder or
cylinders. If there is not there is
some trouble at the COmmutator.
Having found by examination that
the gasoline reaches the carburctcr,
and assuming that the carburctcr has
been properly adjusted, that the coil
buZzcS and that the spark plug is good
and clean, and by being tested on d
cylinder head gives a spark, and that
the compression is all right, that
engine must run.
