1t Was An Auroral Arch.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. Your
Thorndike correspondent enquiries in your last
issue regarding the unusual illumination in the
southern sky which occurred a fortnight ago.
Many were puzzled by it. May I venture a
purely amateur explanation? Was it not
merely the reflection of auroral lights by the
immense ice fields and icebergs which for so
long have been off our coasts, land which, indeed,
may account also for much of our cold wet
spring? That there Were Northern Lights
that night I can personally testify, for called
attention to them, both in the northern and
eastern sky, and such reflection by ice has
occurred before. Your correspondent is, how
ever, mistaken in saying the reflection was too
far south for an ordinary display, as in many of
the finer exhibitions of its glory the flashes and
CLOVIS show as far south as they did the other
night. The difference in the present case was
that the light in the south remained practically
stationary until after midnight las reflection
would). Lights on the horizon we'll south of
east flashed and changed that night as is usual
with the Northern Lights
Yours truly,

the seed. care is taken to use only those
which are plump and full. From five to
eight seeds are dropped on the soil in the
hill and then covered till even with the

and level.
When the seed leaves appear above the
surface. the ground is cultivated with a
common cultiyator and the hills hoed

The Boston Transcript of recent date had a
complete description of this phenomenon, said
to be rare in these ATTITUDES and known as an
auroral arch. The auroral northern lights
come in number of forms, but of the recent
display the Transcript says: "The aurora of
Saturday evening appears to have been rare
variety of the auroral arch, one in which the
arch extended from horizon to horizon through
the zenith, and which during most of the even
ing was visible only in parts, being broken up
into a number of so-called auroral clouds".
similar arches have been observed in Boston
perhaps twice in twenty years. but this is
peculiar in that it ran diagonally across the
sky, being neither from the north point, nor
from east to west. Those who looked for
colder weather following an auroral display
were not disappointed"

The Camden Trotting Park.

H. M. Bean has sold the grandstand
building at the Trotting Park to the Knox
Wooden Co. and crew of men under F.
L. Gilkey is taking down the building.
The lumber will be used to erect wool
storage house for the Knox mill. We
all regret to see the grandstand building
torn down because it means the giving up
eventually of our trotting park, one of the
best in the State. 1t has not been a pay
ing proposition, however, and Of course
we cannot hope to see it kept up as park
when it is all the time a losing PROPOSE
ton financially. -Camden Herald.

BURGLARY IN PENOBSCOT.
Believed A Bad Gang of Yeggmen Are at
Work in Waldo and Hancock Counties.

The general store and postoffice at
South Penobscot, owned and occupied by
Benjamin R. Cushman, was entered early
Wednesday morning, May 18th. The
burglars escaped, but without any booty
as Postmaster Cushman, suspecting that
an attempt might be made on the safe,
had removed everything of value from
the safe the night before. The county
officials of Hancock county have reason
to believe that the burglars are the same
who have blown two other safes in towns
on the river and bay in the past month.
An investigation at the store showed
that the burglars had followed exactly
the same method used when the McKin-
ney grain mill at Winterport was broken
into while ago. The knob had been
broken from the door, and the 'soup"
poured in in the usual way. The safe
was covered with wet burlap bags to
deaden the sound, and the fuse was
touched off with the result that the safe
was entirely demolished. Some of the
residents in the neighborhood say that
they heard dull sound early in the morn
ing about o'clock, but paid little atten-
ton to it. The grain mill belonging to
Charles O. Hutchins, which is two miles
from the village, was entered and the
burglars obtained the bags there. Hen
ry Perkins shop was also entered and
hammer and cold chisel for the prelimi-
nary work on the safe were obtained.
Sheriff Silsby of Hancock county who
was in Penobscot to investigate, express
ed the belief that a bad gang of yeggmen
are at work in Waldo and Hancock coun-
ties. He has detailed one of his deputies
to investigate thoroughly.

The Split-Log Drag.

There are three split-log drags in this part
of the town and the adjoining district in Or
land, and it is hoped the roads will be put in a
smooth condition. The correspondent had &C.
casion to ride to Bluehill Saturday, and from
Bluehill town line to the village, we never saw
that road in better condition. 1t was the work
of split-log drag. There was hardly stone

Instructor, visited the Primary school recently
and gave very interesting talk to the boys
and girls. We believe that it is not generally
known that out-of-town people may draw
books from the Belfast Free Library upon the
payment Of fifty cents for three months. This
entities the subscriber to two books, one fic-
ton, the other non-fiction. The Library is
open to out-of-town people from II to IL A.
M. The regular hour for opening to others is
from P. M. Books may be kept out one
month by renewing at the end of two weeks
1t is needless to say that the books are of the
best quality, and the librarian, Miss Annie L.
Barr, most obliging. Several people here are
subscribers and it is hoped that more may
become SO.
