The Tide Is Still Rising.


The statement of the Portland Argus
that the Republican leaders among
themselves regard the Maine situation
and prospect with dismay" is the re-
verse of the truth. The advices from
all over the State are to the effect that
the Republicans are united and ag-
gressive and there is every assurance
of an increased plurality over that of
1908. The Republicans will carry
the State in the biennial election this
fall by good substantial majority,
am certain" said Chairman Boyd of
the State committee last Saturday;
and this is the belief of the Republi-
can leaders among themselves and
not merely newspaper talk. The
Lewiston correspondent of the Demo-
cratic Bangor Commercial tells the
truth when he says: The general
opinion in this part of the State is that
there has been a turn of the political
tide in favor of the Republicans"
Yes, and the tide is still rising.

Sound of Thunder.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Will you please explain the cause
of thunder? Some discussion has
been aroused in a neighborhood near
here by the recent heavy showers
L-WinthroD.
An interesting article in the London
Daily Graphic recently gave the re-
salt of experiments by Prof. Trow-
bridge. The report in substance says.
1T has usually been thought that the
noise is caused by the closing up OF
the vacuum created by the passage
of the lightning. the air rushing in
from all sides with a clap; but the
intensity of the noise is rather as
prOportionate, and it is now supposed
that the thunder is due to the in
tense heating of the gases, especially
the gas of water vapOr along the line
OF the electric discharge, and the con-
sequent conversion of suspended mois-
ture into steam at enormous pressure.
In this way the crackle with which
peal of thunder sometimes begins
might be regarded as the sound of
steam explosions on small scale
caused by inductive discharges before
the main flash. The rumble would be
the overlapping steam explosions, and
the final clap. which sounds loudest,
would be the steam explosion nearest
to the auditor. In the case OF rum
bling thunder the lightning is passing
from cloud to cloud. When the hash
passes from the earth to the clouds
the clap is loudest at the beginning.
Professor Trowbridge gave substance
to these suppositions by causing cleo
trio flashes to pass from point to
point through terminals clothed IN
soaked cotton wool, and he succeeded
in magnifying the crack of the cleo
trio spark to a terrifying extent"

one thing at a time-a Republican VIC
tory on Sept. 18th. Several cordial re-
unions of hitherto cOntesting elements
of Republicans have recently been held
in Maine There is no question as TO
the feeling on all sides. Carry Maine
in September by an overwhelming ma
iority. Let each contest take care OF
itself. The excellent spirit shown in
Taft's visit; the recent gatherings OF
leaders who have not met in fraternal

verdict of the majority of his party

proof of the governors words lay in
the fact that in the year of his defeat

was Gov Fernald who got out and
hustled for it.

minor contests

Stand motives reckoning earthward,

prominent men that there may be sew
eral candidates for the United States
senatorship, it is the quite general
opinion that this entire matter better
be postponed until after the State

have only one object in view, and that
is to re-elect Governor Fernald and a
Republican Legislature. Other mat
tiers can be attended to later.
