On another page will be found very
interesting article on the mackerel fish
cry, in which an old-time fisherman at
tributes the scarcity of these fish to the
wholesale seining of them in the years
right around 1885. James Donahue of
Rockland, commissioner of sea and shore
fisheries, is of the same opinion. 1t has
been claimed by fishermen that the vast
amount of chemicals coming down the
rivers from the many pulp mills has
driven the mackerel off shore, but Mr..
Donahue does not believe that the chemi-
Gals have the slightest effect on the fish.
In his opinion the real cause of the dis
appearance of the mackerel is that the
seiners who catch fish in spawn are en-
tirely to blame for the scarcity of mack
erel. eff law was passed which would
not allow the fishermen to catch the
mackerel in spawn" said he, ut would

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

SHAW BUSINESS COLLEGE, BANGOR.

The Shaw Business College, Bangor, rounded
out its first quarter of century October LIST
and is the subject of two column write-up in
the Commercial, with portraits of F. L. Shaw
of Portland, the President, and George D. Har-
den of Bangor the Treasurer This college has
had P wonderful growth and the Commercial
wei, says that at is an example of an institu-
ton which has closely followed policy based
upon truth, right and common sense; and the
success of the institution is a good illustration
of what can be accomplished by following such
policy" and further that "much of the
wonderful growth of the Shaw Business college
in general, and the Bangor branch in particular
is due to the energetic management of Mr..
Harden. He firmly believes in the policy adopt
ed by the institution when it was formed; in
fact, the persistency with which the school fol-
lowed out this policy first lead Mr.. Harden to
associate himself with the school as instructor,
and afterwards as an active part owner"
One very noticeable change which has taken
place during the 25 years this school has been
in existence is the increased tendance of
young women. In its earlier days not more
than five per cent of the total enrolment were
women, while now it is fully so per cent. This
is due to a great extent to the rapidly increas-
ing demand for stenographers. In this calling
women naturally were preferred, but the
Employment Department is unable to meet the
demand for male stenographers, as few men
take up this branch

be only very few years when mackere
would be just as plentiful along the
coast of Maine as they were ten years
ago. The fishermen do not seem to real
ize that they are injuring their own bust
ness by catching these fish," In this
connection it would be interesting to
know what effect the use of motor boats
has upon this fishery. One of our local
fishermen says that the motor boats
leave coating of oil on the water that
drives away such surface fish as mack
erel and herring; and DR.. Hennequin Of
Boston, who has spent three months in
the lake region Of the foothills OF the
Green mountains, is of the opinion that
the motor boats are seriously injuring
the fishing in the Vermont ponds. He
noticed that in ponds of from one mile to
three miles long, the bass are mostly
caught in very shallow water, when the
boats are running up and down the deep
err portions of the pond. They never
stay more than one or two days in the
same place and prefer to live in thickly-
weeded grounds, in companionship with
very large and voracious pickerel, rather
than take refuge in beds Of rock, close
to which the motor boats pass, although
the shark like pickerel are seldom seen
there. If the motor boats cease running
for day or so, the bass return to the
rocks and deep waters, but can only be
caught at sunrise, or at sunset, although
plainly seen, apparently perfectly still,
at the bottom of the pond. What is to
be done about it we cannot say, for the
motor boat, like the automobile, has evil
IDENTITY come to stay.

Belfast had two illustrations of yellow
Journalism last week-one clearly in con-
tempt of court. The other, furnished by
Boston caily, was an unwarranted and
heartless intrusion into family affairs.
Neither'case was then before the court,
and in both cases but one side of the
story was told, to the prejudice of the
opposing side. Judge Whitehouse in
open court very properly rebuked the
writers of these articles and said they
had made themselves subject to contempt
of court.

On the last evening of the w. c. t. U.
convention in Bangor the great audience
reached perhaps its highest pitch OF en-
thusiasm singing to the tune Of "Colum-
bia, the Gem of the Ocean" the Maine
song written by Miss Gordon, one verse
of which is:
Oh, the old State of Mane how we love it!
Its mountains, its lakes and its shore;
The brightest of stars shine above it,
But one star shines out evermore:
It's the bright star of State Prohibition,
In its light read the name of Neal Dow
Would you gain for yourselves its fruition?
Let the old State of Maine show you how.

The Hudson Fulton celebration has
been q great success; but there is strong
evidence that Giovanni de Verrazzano,
an Italian navigator in the employ of the
French Government, sailed through the
Narrows and landed boat-load of men
on Manhattan Island in 1924, eighty-five
Years before Hudson entered the river
which now bears his name; and there is
build the first steamboat John Fitch
built steamboat and ran it on the Della
ware twenty years before Fulton's boat
appeared. 1t really should have been
the Verrazzano-F Fitch celebration; and
while We are not specially concerned with
the Italian it seems that John Fitch, the
struggling inventor, should have had some
recognition. In his journal, which is
said to be one of the most pathetic rec
ords in American history, he wrote, with
prophetic vision: 1.-THE day will come
when some more powerful man will get
fame and riches from my invention; but
nobody will believe that poor John Fitch
can do anything worthy of attention. !"
The story is told in two of the current
magazines, and in The Metropolitan
magazine the name of Judge Read, a
distinguished resident of Belfast, is men
toned. The Metropolitan says: mo
one has ever made a complete list of
Fulton rivals, but they include, besides
his predecessors, John Fitch and James
Rumsey, Nathan Read, Captain Morey,
Elijah Ormsbee, Nicholas Roosevelt,
Oliver Evans and John Stevens. All
these built steamboats, with more or less
success before Fulton's Clermont was
launched.

By very small vote of more than 3 to

By very small vote OF more than to
/ Rockland rejected last Monday the
new charter authorized by the last ses-
sion of the legislature. The charter
provided for a single board of seven
members to be paid a salary of 5000 each.
1t was also proposed to increase the
mayors salary to S700 from $500, the
aldermen and councilmen to serve with
out pay Another innovation was the
election Of practically all the subordi-
nate officers by popular vote. 1t was
proposed in this city some years ago to
abolish the common council, but soon
after the usefulness of this branch of
the city government was so effectively
demonstrated that the matter was drop
ped. 1t was not supposed then that the
city could ever come under the DONNA
ton Of one man.
