Step by step, therefore. the crush
OF men squeezed together on the
staircase was forced back. and step by
step they were edged across the hall
and forced back through the doors.
At five minutes To three there were
still no signs OF Strong. and the
close-packed ranks OF whispering jour

colossal joke were not being played
upon them. At two minutes TO three
there were still no signs OF Strong.
Hundreds OF eyes strained through
the windows OF the hotel up and down
the street, which was still SO packed
with people that IL seemed hopeless
that Strong would ever gain access
TO the hotel.
But Strong had not the least in

Photographing the Stomach.

An improved apparatus has been
made by DR.. Fritz Lang OF Munich by
which the inside Of the stomach can
be clearly photographed The camera
Is actually swallowed by the patient
and when 1t reaches his stomach the
walls thereof can be Illuminated by q
small electric lamp attached to the ap-
paratus. AT the bottom OF the camera
Is wound Photographic film twenty
inches long and quarter OF an inch
wide. All the surgeon has to do Is to
pull cord. and thus run the film past
the lens. The electric Light is then
turned on. and after the sensitive film
has been impressed with the image the
current Is turned of and another sec.
ton or the film Is brought into play.
until the requisite number Of pictures
have been obtained.

The Owl.
THE Owl is bird that spends
i most OF its time looking In
tense-ly wise. The rest OF It's time
II spends In hooting and In catching
mice. Only for the last-nsmed oc-
Ss. ton the owl would starve. which
shows little boys and girls that while
looking wise may gain them rep II
will bring them no coffee and cakes.
The owl does most OF Its hunting
at night, but not because 1t loves to
come home In the dark. Its object is
to catch the revealing mouse. This
teaches US to take the six O'Clock
train instead OF the midnight taxi
cab.

taxes are not excessive, and only recently
an important reduction in fire insurance
rates has been made. Ellsworth has a
boantifui supply OF pure water, and the
electric light service is excellent and rea-
sonable. The schools are OF high order,
and the city is thoroughly up to- date in
all that goes to make live and progress
sive community. Ellsworth is good city
In which to live, and the summer climate
is unsurpassed.
Manufacturers seeking change in loca-
tion and desirous of place where low
priced power can be obtained should con-
slider Ellsworth's unequalled advantages.
1t is an unusual opportunity now offered
TO users Of power, and manufacturers and
others interested should.embrace the earli-
est chance to investigate this exceptional
opening. All inquiries addressed to the

ELLSWORTH WATER.

Another Analysis by Director of State
Laboratory of Hygiene.
Another analysis has been made Of the
Ellsworth water by H. d. Evans, director
OF the Maine Laboratory Of Hygiene at
Augusta. The water was taken from The
faucet in G. A. Parcher's drug store.
The analysis, the figures of which are
Tor parts in 100000, is as follows:
Date of collection, jan 10, 1908; examination
Jan. ii.
Appearance Turbidity, none:. sediment,
none; color. 81.
odor-Coid, none; hot, vegetable
Residue evaporation-Total, 80; loss on ig-
milton, l.s; fixed residue, 1.3
Ammonia-Free, .OGl2; in solution. .o1a4
Chlorine-0.30.
Nitrogen-Nitrates, none; nitrites, none.
Oxygen consumed-.57.
Hardness-1.5.
Iron-.Ol2
Lead-None.
Colon bacillus-Absent.
Bacteria per cubic centimeter-iI5.
In a letter accompanying the analysis,
Director Evans says:
The analysis shows the water to be in prac.
tically the same condition as when examined
last fall, only change being slight increase
in the dissolved organic material. As in the
fall sample, this is not of animal but of yege-
table origin, and the slight increase is proba
bly, caused by surface wash due to the open
winter and resulting rains. The water is in
irst-class condition both chemically and bac-
terially, and can be used for drinking or for
any domestic purpose with entire safety.
This analysis, as. all past analyes OF
Ellsworth city water, leaves no doubt as
to its healthfulness, but an improved sys-
tenn of filtrations is needed.

You Will be Surprised to Learn How
Many There Are.
Did you ever feel stupid and dull
after eating hearty dinner?
When food is retained too long in
the stomach, because of stomach
weakness, the poison factory works
overtime and there is giddiness, con-
fusion of thought, dependency,
heart burn, sleeplessness, nervous
trouble and other forms of Indigestion.
The general use of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets puts within the reach of every
one reliable and positive cure for all
stomach weakness. Mi-o-na quickly
cures the worst case of indigestion,
and the pain and distress which are
often felt after meals will soon dis
appear, such is the wonderful curative
power of this little tablet.
Mi-o-na acts upon entirely different
principles from any of the other RENE
dies that have been used in stomach
trouble. 1t is taken before meals, and
has specific strengthening action
upon the muscles of the stomach, in
creasing the flow of digestive juices
and making the stomach get to work
and digest easily and naturally the
food which is eaten.
G.. A. Parcher has seen SO many
cures made by Mi-o-na that he gives
a guarantee with every 5O-cent box
that the remedy costs nothing unless
it cures.
