OBITUARY.



No death in Ellsworth in recent years
has caused more profound sorrow through
out the city than that Of Curtis r. Foster,
which occurred at the Paine private hos
pital in Bangor Friday, July 81, after an
operation for appendicitis.
In the prime Of life, active in religious,
social, business and public affairs of the
city. OF social instincts and genial dispo-
sition, his death is a distinct loss to the
community. In his varied activities he
touched sides with so many people of diff
ferent interests that his death causes a
break in inany circles. The suddenness OF
il adds to the shock occasioned by his
death.
Mr.. Fosters illness was OF long stand
ing, but insidious. Not until week before

An addition OF $4,000 to the appro-
priation for the Bar Hsr5or postoffice has
caused decided changein the Plans and
specifications which were submitted early
in the spring. The plans will be Revised
and remodeled, and Bar Harbor will get
much finer building when it is COM
pleted. The delay will probably bring it
around to autumn, at least, before bids
are again asked for.

AT q recent meeting OF the Property
Owners association at Bar Harbor, which
includes in its membership nearly all OF
the non-residents who own property there,
it was decided to make vigorous attempt
to compel owners Of motor boats to have
them provided with muffiers or under
water exhausts. At the request Of DR..
Haskell Derby, OF Boston, the matter was
taken up at the annual town meeting last
spring, but it was then decided that the
town had no jurisdiction. 1t is now pro-
posed to ask the legislature to make laws
on the subject. Northeast Harbor and
Seal Harbor have already agreed to join
with Bar Harbor. Many Of the best cot
tages are along the shore front, and the
lobster catchers and fishermen on their
way to the grounds pass near to the shore.
The association alsosvoted to oppose sny
attempt to modify the present automobile
exclusion legislation.

An Isle au Haut correspondent writes
1.-THE haymakers are here and the air is
filled with the delightful fragrance Of new
mown hay. A novel sight at this season
is the transportation OF hay from here to
Kimbsll's island. The motor power is a
yoke Of mild-eyed oxen, Star and bright,
by name, who, when the tide is out, make
a circuitous route across the bar, avoiding
mussel beds and other pitfalls with won
derful sagacity. Sometimes, however, the
pull for the shore is exciting II the tide
has turned and old Neptune is . bit
boisterous. Then the hayrack becomes q
boat afloat, and these living Starbright
engines develop stroke worthy Of
Oxford. A successful landing is always
made, to the qualification Of the owner,
Benjamin A. Smith, who is justly proud
of his unique team"

II is perhaps Tor this reason that
India is the most god-Tidden region on
earth. Her delties are numbered in

He was very small. very plump and
very pretty; he was possessed OF a
somewhat philosophical turn OF mind
He spent most of his time lying In q
soft bed In a bright. sunny nursery
and he was regularly given his dinner
In a nicely warmed bottle.
The person who was most familiar
60 his wondering eyes was a dainty,
whiteclad. whitccapped girl. who was
always cheerful and happy. II made
the baby happy to look at her; he eX.
pressed his pleasure by Growing In a
language which he and the nurse
seemed perfectly to understand.
lie was dimly aware that outside the
narrow Limits OF his nursery there eN.
listed a big, noisy, confusing world.
He had received vague impressions
concerning II during the brief hours
which he usually passed outside on
sunny afternoons. On these occasions,
however, the fresh air always put him
TO sleep so promptly that he had had
but little opportunity to examine the
strange things surrounding him.

On rare occasions a man had made
brief visits to the nursery. He gen.
orally looked gravely at the baby for a
short time. asked a few calm ques.
tons OF the white.capped nurse, and
went out.
The baby always felt much In awe
OF the man; he never crowed when
the man was present
More frequently the baby had a
visitor who In some respects resem.
bled his nurse. except that she was
much mere beautiful and more daZ.
zlingly a,tired She often bent long
over the bed and looked earnestly at
the baby Her face, despite Its
beauty, never seemed happy like that
OF the nurse. and she never talked IN
the language which the baby and the
nurse understood.
The baby's face always grew solemn
with wonder and expectation when the
woman stood over him. Somewhere
in his being he felt a prompting to
crow to her; he somehow felt that II
might bring a smile TO her sad eyes
but he had never quite dared.
