STRANGE OBJECTION.

Admiral Sigsbee, who was in COM
mand of the Maine when h was de-
stroyed by explosion, opposes the rails
ing of the ship. He says the enort
would be expensive after the ship a
lain in the harbor mud eleven years,
and he does not think any new light
on the disaster would be obtained. The
whole world, he says, now virtually
accepts the opinion Of the court that
investigated the disaster, namely, thai
the ship was blown up from the u
side.
Admiral Sigsbee's reasons for O
action on the part of the UNITED
States are not very convincing. Iht
sinking of the ship robbed Spain O
her colonies, and made this countr1
a recognized world power. 1t was ont
of the great events of this world. Ih'
cost of raising the ship need not
therefore, be considered by a countr.
of great wealth and population, and
is not at all plain that once ralse'
the story of the explosion would no
be cleared up. Admiral Sigsbee doe
not claim to know how h snip wa
blown up. 1t is as much a myster'
to him as it is to the rest Of the woric
He permitted hundreds of people IN

JUNE.
The Month of Long Bright Days, OF
Blooming Flowers and Blushine
Brides.

The Month OF Long Bright Days, OF
Blooming Flowers and Blushing
Brides.
June is the queen mont of the year,
and if you were born during this sweet
fragrant period of the summer, June
promises you much
The name June comes from Junius,
which is supposed by some to be de-
rived from Juno and by others from
Juniores. Originally it had but 26
days and was the fourth month with
the Romans. Romulus added four
days to it, the Emperor Numa took
one away, but it was finally restored
by julius Caesar.
Cancer is the zodiaca1 sign for June,
meaning the crab, into which the sun
moves after the twenty-fifth, up to
that date it being in the sign Gemini,
meaning the Twins.
A strong love of nature, emotional
and a special aptitude for domestic
life are the characteristics supposed
to be associated with this month.
7 The June birthstone is the agate
which signifies health, wealth and
long life. The lines are these:
e Who comes with summer to this eartf
And owes to June her hour of birth,
With ring of agate on her hand,
Can health, wealth and long life com
mand.
a
The honeysuckle is the June flower
which means devoted love. The cora
u variety signifies fidelity.
o There are supposed to be four un
lucky wedding days in the month o
June. These are the fourth, eighth
tenth, and twenty-second. The luck
l. wedding days are the first, third. nine
d. teenth and the twenty-first.
"a June being the favorite month 70
q marriages, the lucky days are easil
found, while the few that are unluck
Is may be avoided.
e. The marriage. verse is this:
