One of the government natura..s..
at Washington has recently gathered
some fresh information concerning the
tongues of birds.
Many people suppose that woodpecs,
ers use their sharp pointed ton CUES as
darts with which to transfiX their
prey. 1t is true that the woodpecker,
like the h,.:lining bird. can dart out its
tongue with astonishing rapidity and
that its mouth is furnished with an
elaborate mechanism for this purpose,
yet. according to the authority men,
toned. investigation shows that the
object of this swift motion Is only to
catch the prey, not to pierce it. For
the purpose of holding the captured
victim the woodpecker's tongue is fur
nished With sticky secretion.
Considering its powers Of initiating
speech, it is not surprising to learn
that the parrots tongue resembles that
Of man more closely than any other
birds. 1t is not because the parrot is
more Intelligent than the other birds,
but because its tongue is better suited
for articulation than theirs, that it is
able to amuse us with its mimicry.
The humming birds tongue Is in
some respects the most remarkable of
ALL 1t is double nearly from end to
end so that the little bird is able to
grasp its insect prey with its tongue
much as if it's mouth was furnished
with pair of fingers.-Chicago Rec
ord Herald.

Greedy Little Salmon.

Little creatures may be very greedy
and yet not he able to eat much be-
cause Of their size, as was illustrated
for instance, in the case Of batch of
about 10000 little Chinook salmon that
were Matched out at the aquarium.
These young fishes, each about two
inches long, would eat so much that
their little stomachs fairly stuck out,
and yet to feed the whole 10000 took
daily only one pound Of liver and q
quart Of herring roe. both chopped

IN LINCOLN COUNTY.
Republicans to Hold County Conven
ton At Damariscotta Wednesday.

namariscotta. Me, June 1.-(Spe-
ciaD On Wednesday next the dele
gates for the Republican party Of Lin
coin county will assemble at Lincoln
hall At Damariscotta for the purpose
of making the nominations for
senator, judge OF probate, county at
torney, sheriff, clerk of courts, county
commissioner and county treasurer.
For several years the Republican par
ty in Lincoln county has been some
what divided on local matters. Several
attempts have been made in the past
by the leaders of the Republican party
in the county to unite the several in
trrcstS. but up to the present time
these efforts have proven futile. There
is IN earnest endeavor among the lead
ing Republicans in the county to put
forth a strong county ticket which
will prove acceptable to the voters of
Lincoln county without regard to past
party affiliations.
For senator there are several aspir-
ants. Among those mentioned are
John NJ. Glidden. Jr., Esq. of New
castle. at present clerk of courts. Fes-
scrden Il. Turner, Esq, of Whitefield,
Robert H. Gram Esq, of Bristol, DR..
F. NJ. Jackson of jefferson. and Hon.
John r. McDougal of Boothbay. Some
of these candidates have canvassed
tho county and presented their claims
for the nomination.
For judge of probate, now vacant by
tho death of Hon. Ozro d. Cashier of
Waldoboro, the following names are
mentioned: Hon. Henry H. Chamber
lain of Bristol. Hon. Roswell S. Pat
ridge of Whitefield. and Hon. Howard
E. Hall of Damariscotta. For clerk
of courts there appears but one aspir-
ant for that office, Clarence A Rich
ards of Wiscas$et. For county attor-
ney there appears to be two names
suggested, those of w. H. Miller. ESQ,
of Waldoboro and VIM n Titus. ESQ,
OF Alma. For sheriff. Edwin J. IRVINE
of Bristol. Herbert l.. Leavitt of Wal
doboro and Albert B. Ersline of Alma
For county commissioner, Wilbur F.
Cate of Dresden seeks a denomination
for a second term but is opposed by
Samuel d. Erskine of jefferson. Ac-
cording to party usage Mr.. Cate is en-
probably receive it. For county treas
urer. John w. Southland of Wiscasset
is the only candidate in the field.
With one exception the delegates of
the county convention have been
chosen and go unpledged to the con-
vention and will probably act for the
best interests of the Republican party
ard the people of Lincoln county in
the selection Of ticket to be voted
for at the polls on September IA.
Earnest work is being about party
harmony selection of ticket and it
is believed that nominations will be
made on Wednesday which will COM
man1 the respect and confidence of
the voters at the polls. and once more
bring forth in old fashioned Lincoln
county Republican victory.
