Many Being Cured
by Prof. Caldwell's Electro Mag.
netic System-A Chance to
Consult Him at the
AS American House,
Ellsworth,
Saturday, Nov. Fl,
' from to 5 o'clock, p. m.

II you are suffering from any chronic
disease, do not neglect this opportunity to
consult this great specialist. He is having
wonderful success in curing all forms OF
chronic disease. He may be able to cure
you at once.
You can consult him free, but you
should go prepared to take treatment if he
is willing to undertake your case. He will
not take any case which he believes he
cannot cure or greatly benefit.
Prof. Caldwell's visit here brings expert
skill within your reach. It would be
pity not to avail yourself of the opportu-
nifty of getting we'll.
Prof. Caldwell has an office at 1913 Union
St., Bangor, where he has accomplished
many astounding cures as if,by magic, and
the Bangor papers have spoken in the
highest terms OF the remarkable power
this gifted man possesses. We could fill
this paper with their graphic, outspoken
words OF their suffering, and how quickly
they had been restored to health, il space
would permit.
We will give an example:
DOVER, MAINE, June 8, 1908,
For years have been in poor health. In
deed at times failed so fast, especially this
spring, it seemed should have to take my
bed. My chief trouble was internal and
seemed to be mystery to every physician
had consulted Added to this ! had liver
rainy day, was weak and nervous; my con-
dition was very poor and suffered with cold
and seemed on the point OF q. general break
electric treatment in the Bangor Daily News
After writing lady in Bangor who had been
treated and receiving very reply
very satisfactory. God has greatly blessed the
treatment to my good as well as many others
whom had the privilege Of meeting while
taking treatment and it is pleasure to me to
add my testimony with the others.
MRS. LIZZIE KINNEY
Nov. 5 she writes again:
DOVER, MAINE, Nov. 8, 1905
I send my testimony for publication hoping
losing faith Si il Medicine and saying to them
selves there is no help for me. Do not give
up. Try Prof: 4. J; GaldwelLs Electric treat
you. Five months ago was in very poor
health, having ailments Of long standing.
NOW AM A HEALTHY WOMAN, capable
Of doing good days work. 1t has proved
itself and God knows how pleased we are.
MRS. Lizzie KINNEY.
Prof. Caldwell has decided to make
special low rates for this visit, and will
only charge for cost OF treatment, giving
his services tree. II you are sick and dis
couraged, this is your opportunity; don't

HOW FOREST FIRES START.

Campers, Locomotives and Light
ming are Agents of Destruction.
What starts the forest fires? This ques-
ton has been asked over and over again
this year. Campers and locomotives is the
usual answer. Many of the other things
which start blazes in the forest are for
gotten. It is true that perhaps one-half
to three fourths OF the forest fires do
begin as q consequence OF the carelessness
OF some camper or from sparks flying
from locomotives, but there are number
of things which set the woods afire.
A complete report Of fires in the private
forests OF the country and their causes is
not kept by any one. Uncle Sam, how
ever, is careful to account for the damage
done by the blaze ON his timberland under
forest administration, aggregating about
1888 ,OOO, 900 acres, and each year the total
area burned over, the amount OF timber
destoyed and its value, the cost Of fighting
fires and the cause OF fires are carefully
checked up. These report are made at the
end of the calendar year, and the an
nouncement of this years losses will,
therefore, uot pe hhoWh IVA AiAoA eAANsA
two months.
Last years figures, however, give good
idea OF the origin of fires. OF the 1855
fires discovered in the national forests, all
OF which were checked by the rangers be-
fore they they had burned over fourteen
hundredths OF one per cent. of the area,
campers caused BAG, while railroads fol-
lowed next with 273; lightning came next
with 176; donkey engines used in lumber
ing operations, fourth, with sixty i've;
careless brush burning by thirty four, 1ire
caused by incendiaries and those set by
herders and hunters, thirty.
For more than 400 of the fires the cause
is not known. This is not strange when
it is remembered that fire may shoulder
for days if the air is too thick to permit
the smoke to be seen ct a distance by the
forest officer.
II campers would be sure to extinguish
their fires before moving, and if the rail-
road companies would use efficient spark
arresters, it is reasonable to think that the
annual forest fire loss could be reduced
more than half. In the case OF light
ming, man has no greater responsibility
than to put the fire out as soon as possible
after discovery. Careless brush burning
by homesteaders and personsIclearing land
is said to be the cause Of many OF the nres
which have started this year, particularly
those 4 which have swept over the iske
states.
The ranger force in many Of the nation

COUNTY NEWS.
SOUTHWEST HARBOR.

Lightkeeper Howard Gilley, OF Camden,
has been spending week or two with
relatives and friends here.
An interesting game was played here
Saturday between the high school foot
ball team Of this place and a visiting team
from Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor vim
ming the game. As the local team has
been in training bat short time, this
first victory is cause OF much citation.
The telephone girls, Flora and Rebecca
Gilley, returned last week from delight
full outing trip to various towns and cities
in Maine, closing their vacation with q
visit to their sister, Mrs. Nellie Nc
Eachern, at Northeast Harbor, and their
brother, Clayton Gilley, at stonington.
The second lecture in the course that has
been arranged by the Southwest Harbor
school committee was given at Masonic
hall, Tuesday of last week, BY President
George Emory Fellows, OF U. OF M, on
''Practical Training for Citizenship It
was listened to with deep attention by .
large audience, and the lessons Of the
realities Of serit us preparation for the
duties Of life must have convinced the
students present that the building Of
character means something beyond ath-
letic activity.
The recent letter in THE AMERICAN BY
our former townsman, Capt. w. c. Moore,
Of Port Townsend, WASH, was read with
great interest by natives Of Mt. Desert,
and more especially Of Beech hill, the early
home Of the George Richardson, in whose
honor town has been named. The iden-
tity Of our childhood friend was in ques-
ton for time until we recalled the fact
that the s'Stillman" Richardson We re-
membered, who had left home on sailing
vessel ct that time must have had George
for front name, and it seemed good to
hear Of his prosperity after 80 many years
OF silence.
Gordon Edwards, the high school pfin
cipsl, who has been ill more than two
months in the Bar Harbor hospital, is SO
far recovered As to come back to Southwest
Harbor, and although still weak from his
prostration, yet hopes to take up his
duties at the opening Of the winter term.
His mother, who has been in Bar Harbor
since the early stages of her sons illness,
is with him at the home OF +. L. Higgins,
but expects to return to her home in
North Carolina soon. Mr.. Corson has
proved himself an efficient instructor, and
the high school students will mold him in
grateful remembrance for the kindly in
terest he has shown in the advancement Of
the school. -

COAST SURVEY.

Work on Hancock County Coast the
Past Summer.
The United States coast and geodetic
survey, which has been engaged the past
summer on the Hancock county coast, has
closed Ito work here for tue season, and
will be engaged in work farther south
during the winter months, returning here
next spring to continue the work.
The coast survey has been divided into
two parties, the main party having its
headquarters ct Kockland, while . second
party had its headquarters at Bass Harbor,
and explored thoroughly the eastern sec
tion OF the coast. The most important
work Of the party was to locate dangerous
rocks, reefs and shoals, or other obstruc-
tions that were menace to navigation,
ascertaining their exact position, taking
soundings, and gathering all the informa-
ton available that would bear upon the
work in hand.
The navigable waters have been thor
oughly dredged, and thorough work done
in Bluehill bay, Eggemoggin Reach, Fox
Island thoroughfare, North Haven, vinal
Haven, and other nearby waters.
A complete system Of drags has been
employed, including the most up-to-dste
apparatus, and, under favorable conditions,
something like two or three square miles
can be covered in day. In bad weather,
or on shallow bottoms, much less work
can be done per day, sometimes not more
than half . square mile. The apparatus
can be operated at something like one or
two miles per hour under the most I'M
favorable conditions.
The work OF the commission has re-
suited in finding at least 200 uncharted
rocks dangerous to navigation. Pinnacle
rocks, sunken masts and other obstruc-
tons that cannot be discovered by the or
binary lead line cannot be missed by the
system OF drags used, providing they are
within the working range. One instance
was the finding Of a great pinnacle rock
IN Bluehill bay. At mean low water there
was scarcely seven feet of water upon it..
Passenger boats passed to and fro nearby
every day. That spot, and the entire vi
entity had been carefully and faithfully
examined with lead line, and had always
recorded fourteen or more fathoms. The
place is now marked by suitable buoy.
The work will be resumed next spring,
and it is expected that other sections of
the coast will be carefully examined for
hldden menaces to navigation.
