Relatives With Him.
His father and mother Mr.. and
Mrs. Patrick O'Flinn, of Slidell, La,
have been in close reach of him al
most since the day he was shot, the
father returning to Slidell only for a
short time and at no time when it ap-
peared that his son was almost certain
to recover. His wife and other mem
bers of the family have been in the
city all the time, and while they have
never felt that he was absolutely safe,
they have felt greatly encouraged over
his condition, until it wa sfound that
it was necessary to operate on ac-

MOVING PICTURE
OF THE HUMAN
BLOOD SHOWN

CHICAGO, June 19.-Medical science
or at any rate electic medical science
has hitched the moving picture ma
chine to her chariot.
Dr. Robert Lincoln Watkins, of New
York, exhibited the micromotoscope
to the members of the National Elec-
tic Medical Association, now in annual
convention at the Auditorium. Dr..
Watkins, professor in the New York
Eclectic Medical College, says he per-
fected the micromotoscope only last
week after laboring on it for twelve
years.
He asserts that his invention will
not only throw on the screen a pict-
ure, magnified thousands of diameters
Of blood as it flows through living
artery, but will SO magnify any one
drop of blood III the living stream that
the eorpuscles, red and white, will be
exhibited on the screen.

Since the brief announcement in

ingham Evening news has been sent
! to this Office, containing picture of
the deceased with a life sketch and
testimonials of regard, the latter
written by various professional and
business men of Framingham, Mass.
1t seems that death took place at
the birmingham hospital, following
close upon an operation which was
resorted to in the hope of prolonging
the life of the patient. The follow
ing account, copied from the paper
just referred to, will be of interest to
the many Skowhegan people who
knew the deceased during his resi-
dence here
Rev. Mr. Woodbury. was a native of
Sweden, Me-, where he was born on
April 20, 1S41, the son of Judge Enoch
and Sarah (KimbalD Woodbury..
After his preliminary schooling, he
entered Bowdoin college, from which
he graduated in 1864. He taught for
year and then entered Bangor Theo-
logical seminary, from which he
graduated in 1868.
He was married Sept. 1, of the
same year, and entered on the duties
of his first pastorate in Ashfield, Me.
His next charge was in Skowhegan,
where he remained for ten years,
and was highly beloved by his flock
He then accepted call to Foxboro,
this state, where he remained until
called to the passionate OF PresbY-
terrain church in Mauch Chunk, Pa.
In 1888 he became pastor of the
Congregational church in Milford,
Mass, the call being extended under
date of Feb. II and his letter of ac-
ceptance being dated March II. He
remained pastor of the Milford
church until 1900, when, on account
of i'll health, he rendered his resigna-
ton and removed to South Framing
ham to live. He had since resided
here.
He made a tour of Europe
in 1901, which greatly benefited
his health. Since then he has been
supplying pulpits in Worcester, Ma
tick, Taunton, Milford, Plymouth,
South birmingham and Cambridge,
where he has filled the pulpits OF
three different churches. The death
of his two sons, promising young men,
Harold, who died in Mauch Chunk,
Pa, in 1888, at the age of 10 years,
and Clarence, who died in Milford in
1898, aged 20 years, greatly under
mined Mr.. Woodbury's health, pa
rent and sons being greatly attached
to each other. Besides his wife, who
was Miss Hulda Denison, Rev. Mr.
Woodbury. is survived by an only
brother, Wesley K. Woodbury., a
prominent lawyer of Pottsville, Pa,
and two sister, Mrs. Francetta Pur-
rington and Mrs Emma Chandler OF

At the last session of the Legisla-
ture there was created State water
storage commission, and Gov. Fernald
has just appointed three commits
sioners with Hiram Kicker of Poland
as chairman, to carry out the provi-
sions of the act, which are to be pure
ly suggestive in their character.
The commission will proceed to col
lect information relating to the water
powers of the State, the flow of
rivers and their drainage area, the
location, nature and size of the lakes
and ponds in the State and their re-
spective value and capacity as storage
reservoirs, and. such other hydro
graphic data as they may deem of
value in devising the best methods
for the improvement of the natural
storage basins of the State, and the
creation of new storage reservoirs,
with view to conserving and in
creasing the capacity of the water
powers of the State. Besides this, it
will cooperate with the general
government in geological survey of
the State and obtain information as
to townships or parts of townships
that may be purchased by the State
as forest reserve. AS we write our
eyes rest upon copy of "The Water
Powers of Maine" A work of sur
passing value edited and published
forty years ago by Walter Wells, who
was employed for this purpose by the
State. 1t was the first work Of the
kind ever done In Maine, and
awakened great public interest which
led to an extraordinary development
of our water power. We trust this
new movement will have result in
the same direction.

Keep the Kidneys Well.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some

A large number of the Somerset
County guides met at Bingham, Sat

formed what is to be known as the

guides of the county, and there was
large and enthusiastic meeti lg.
The association is formed for the
protection of the game of the State,
the turthering of the guides interests,
and last but not least is the social
feature. A constitution and bylaws
were adopted, and annual dues set at
the sum of soc. There are now some
over three hundred registered guides
in Somerset County, and every man
is earnestly solicited to send his name
in to the officers of the association,
and become a member the annual
meeting is TO be held Sept. II, when
we shall expect to register most of
the Somerset County guides. No
man can get admitted to member

Loves Growing Things.

Webster Rowe, residing at the cor
ner of Summer and Pleasant streets,
has a love for flowers and shrubs
which causes him to improve every
foot of the land about his home to the
fullest extent. His house sits near
Written brook and some of the lot is
made land and very fertile. Every
thing grows in the most luxuriant
manner and Mr.. Rowe's small but we'll
kept grounds are perfect forest of
phlox, sunflowers, golden glow, etc.
Mr.. Rowe moved to his present
home from Madison over 80 years
ego. He recalls at the time small
pine which stood just across the brook
from his home. He could just reach
the top of it in those days and it now
towers above all the trees and houses
in the neighborhood, probably 80 feet
in height. From the growth Of this
tree it would seem that pine can GER
tainly be grown to good merchantable
size in 30 to 30 years.

New Reservoir near Marston
Worsted Mills.

The artesian we'll, which was begun
several weeks ago on the east side OF
the Marston Worsted Mills, has been
completed at depth of one hundred
and sixty-two feet. Although this
furnishes an ample supply of water
for the establishment for drinking
purposes, it is too meagre to produce
enough for the various uses for which
it would be required. For this reason
the construction of a reservoir with
diameter of about forty feet has
been started near by and at present
fifteen men are at work on it with
derrick, pickaxe and shovel. They
have recently struck solid ledge,
which in order to get water they will
have to drill and blast for distance
not exactly known. This places the
manager of the job in doubt as to
whether to continue or not, but desir-
ability of water from this source is SO
great that this will probably be put
| through.

How Cecil Lean Won Fame Over
Night.

That baseball is the American game,
that it is a game with which every
one is familiar and over which en-
thusiasm can be aroused, was never
better demonstrated than one after
noon recently in New York, when
Cecil Lean, who had long been the
star of the Kirke La Sale Company
sat on the back of davenport, in his
shirt sleeves and his coat over his
arm and sang a song called ''The
Fan" This happened in a New York
Theatre and before the chorus was
finished crowded houses were shout
ing like wild. He woke up next
morning to find himself the most
talked about comedian in New York.
Mr.. Lean will be the star attraction
at Keith's Boston Theater next week,
coming with Florence Holbrook who
has been associated with him as stel-
lar features of "The Soul Kiss. y
They have an act that will certainly
be talked about as there has nothing
