Our National holiday, the fourth, observed
this year July 9Th, was ushered in by the mid
night changing of bells, blowing of horns, the
swapping of crackers and the booming of can
non crackers, until sleep was out Of the ques-

Beautiful weather is again the report for the
past week, minus the excessive heat Of the pre-
ceding seven days. Occasional showers and one
all night and forenoon rainstorm have relieved

| Several persons went to Bangor last Monday
on the excursion train which was run to allow
people along the B. & A. line to inspect the
four torpedo boats the Worden, Blakely, De
Long and Shubrick, sent by Uncle Sam to re-
main in Bangor over the Fourth of July. The
! Worden has the distinction of being torpedo
boat destroyer of the largest size in the U. S.
navy. The others are of the most modern and
efficient type of boats belonging to the" Allan
ticTorpedoFlotilla. Those who witnessed these
swift-fying, low-lying engines of destruction
passing up the Penobscot cannot doubt their
swiftness. Noiselessly they sped along, as if
drawn by an unseen line, and were soon out of
sight. "ln time of peace, prepare for war, y
and thus avert the tragedy of the latter.
