posts under their care. so that the
more other people save. the more they
earn.
Under these circumstances 1t is
rather significant that out of thirty
seven replies received up to Saturday
night, all but five favor prohibition.
In addition to filling out the blank
which accompanied the inquiry, many
of those who will vote NO took the
trouble to emphasize in some way
their position The non-commital
answers and those favoring repeal all
came from sections where enforce
ment has been VIGOROUSLY lax. All
things considered this is mighty
good endorsement of the policy that
has made Maine famous throughout
the world.

Tell Central

When the alarm blows the first
question that pops into your mind Is
where's the FREE" OF course the
same question pops into everybody
elses head at the same time. Usually
the answer is found at the end Of a
long hot run, but C E. Winter Of the
New England Telephone Co., tells US
that some communities have better
way. They make Central the clear
ing house for the news.
With us nobody takes the trouble
to tell Central" where the fire is
Then when the subscribers call up to
inquire the operator is too busy just
answering the calls that pour in, to
do anything about finding out what is
burning. Consequently we have TO
blunder along in the old crude way.
OF course what's eyerybody's bust
ness is nobody's business, but with a
few setting the example it wouldn't
take very long for the habit to
spread. Let's try it out anyhow. Next
time the alarm blows, go to the phone
as soon as you can and tell Central
as much as you can.

Senator Frye

The passing of Senator Frye serves
as another reminder of how fast and
how far we have travelled politically
within the past few years. 1t seems
as but yesterday when that distin-
guished man was a power In the
greatest legislative assembly of the
world His vacant chair in the Sen
ate has already passed to another
but it is likely to be years before his
place can be really filled.
Senator Frye was the finest type of
the statesman of the old school. His
were the ideals of all those men who
have made America really great. De-
spising the commercial spirit that
has brought forth so much corrup-
ton In recent years, Mr.. Frye gloried
In his poverty. Endowed with the tai
ents which would have yielded for
tune IL devoted to that end, he DELHI
erately chose the public service, and
accepted the scanty remuneration
that goes with 1t. A staunch Republic
can and an unwavering prohibition
list. his was the right to say, 81 have
fought the good fight. 1 have kept the
faith II any such there be in the
present generation.

PRESSURE OF WATER.
its Effect Upon corked Bottle Low
cred Into Ocean Depths.

A bottle partly filed with fresh water
and tightly corked can be lowered into
ocean depths, and on being raised to
the surface 1t will be discovered on
opening 1t that the fresh water has
been replaced by salt.
This really extraordinary phenome-
non is explained in the following way:
The pressure Of water increases as
the distance from the surface In
creases. Thus at the distance of foot
beneath the surface the pressure of the
water a square inch will be about half
n pound; at distance of. say, 2O0
feet 1t will be 1876 pounds to the
square inch. AT ocean level the pres
sure of the atmosphere Is little over
fourteen pounds. Thus IL bottle con-
tanning air were lowered thirty feet be-
meath the surface the pressure of wa
ter would more than counterbalance
the pressure of the air. Ordinarily at
this depth, therefore, the pressure OF
water should be sufficient to drive the
cork within the bottle, but the cork
is tightly wedged In position. To
squeeze 1t within the bottle 1t. too.
must first be compressed, and also
there Is friction to be overcome.
The distance varying, then. accord
ing to these conditions. at some point
beneath the surface the weight Of wa
ter will force the cork into the bottle,
comprising the air before 1t. The
salt water Of the ocean mingles with
the fresh water within the bottle AS
the bottle again approaches he surface
the air that remains within Is sub
jected to less and less pressure till
finally. now having itself pressure
greater than that of the water. 1t
drives the cork back into position.-St
Louis Republic.

MYSTERY CHAMBERS.
Famous Locked Rooms In Some Of the

Famous Locked Rooms In Some OF the
Old British Castles.
Perhaps the most famous locked
room In the world is at CLAIMS castle.

more. In this rambling pile there L.
supposed to be a secret chamber, ac-
cess to which Is known only to the
Earl of Strathmore. the heir apparent
and the factor. The mysterious cham

ago. the repository Of grim family

days
There Is in Poulton Old Hall mys
terious locked room which has never
been opened except by representa-
tive Of the Green family. The ball and
its lands have sometimes been let. but
the Green family have always retain
ed possession of this mysterious room.
which is supposed to contain several
relics and other family treasures. 1t Is
said that the last tenant. a prominent

could have had access to 1t or could
have cleared away the mysterious con-
tents, but the owners refused to give
up possession. and 30 the tenant left.
There Is a very similar tradition at
Neither Hall, the Cumberland seat OF
the Senbouse family. Here, as at
CLAIMS castle, the position Of the Sc
cret chamber Is known only to the
heir-at-law and the family solicitor.
The room, 1t is understood. has no
window and up till now has not been
located by any one not in possession OF
the key to the mystery.
A tragic interest attaches to the
ruins of Minister Lowell house, In Ok
fordshire. While 1t was tenanted by
q farmer a concealed vault was dis
covered. and In 1t was the perfect
skeleton of Lord Lovel, seated at a
table on which was lying an open
prayer book. There were some jars
and barrels which had contained food,
sufficient. no doubt, to last some
weeks; but. the mansion having fallen
into the hands of King Henry VII,
the prisoner was unable to regain his
liberty. The discovery cleared up a
mystery which had surrounded his
fate for nearly two centuries.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

oBLIGING CRABS.
Present. Their Claws TO Fishers Whe
Shake Hands With Them.

Present. Their Claws TO Fishers Whe
Shake Hands With Them.
Visitors In Seville see women carry
Ing baskets full Of crabs claws. The
claws are cooked. and people nibble
at them more for fun than sustenance.
Just as Russians nibble sunhower
seeds. What becomes Of the rest OF
this crustacean. especially II he is
crawhsh. Of his tail?
As q matter of fact the crawfish has
no part In the business. The claws
are taken from salt water crab
which lives along the shores OF MO-
rocco. Spain and Portugal. Each little
crab, with its one little mate, has
cave for a home. and. adopting the
eastern estimate of the other sex. be
usually keeps bis wife shut inside the
cave. meanwhile staying about the
threshold himself and making brave
show with his big claws.
When the tide runs out the crab
fishers prowl along the beach looking
for crab holes. Either the crab is
stalking up and down seeking what
he may devour and thus showing
whether he has fine claws or he is
still at home. and the size of his door
way indicates the size OF the house
holder. In one case the fisherman cuts
OF his retreat by blocking bis front
door with mud: In the other case ne
digs him out. Anyway. be deprives
him of his pincers and sets him at
liberty to grow some more.
Right here appears the quaintest Tea
ture of the whole affair. for the pin
GERS are not torn away from the crab
at all. Instead he presents them to
the fisherman. perhaps even with his
compliments. 1t is fact easily de-
monstrable that the crab can detach
his claw by muscular effort, thus max
ing no hemorrhage. but leaving the
stump In such. condition that a new
claw is soon grown. The fishermen
simply take the crab by the hand,
whereupon 1t lets go. leaves the claw
with them and romps off home with
out it.-Chicago Record Herald.

Wise Youngsters

The cadet corps of the United
States Military Academy at West
Point is short one hundred men. the
vacancies exist because no appli-
Giants of the required quality have
sought to fill them. These facts al
ford room for some interesting spec
ulation as to the cause.
Uncle Sam takes pretty good care
of the West Pointers. In addition TO
something like $500 per year In pay
the cadet receives what is generally
considered a fine education, and when
he graduates is certain Of a commits
sion in the regular army. The pay
there to be sure is nothing astonish-
ing. but compares fayorably with
what the young man fresh from col
lege can earn in other vocations. Yet
one hundred congressional districts
have not produced their expected
quota.
When a population of something
like a quarter of a million fails TO
yield one would-be soldier, signlfi-
cant influences must be at work. Can
It be possible that the rising genera
ton sees more clearly than its elders
how war has become an anachronism?
Who knows but that the youngsters
have concluded that the career of the
future army man will yield little OF
either glory or cash. If they have
very few of us need shed any tears

Make Every Vote Count

It's a pity that every voter In Show
hogan could not have heard Rev. NJ. j.
Twomey speak In the Opera house
Sunday night. II ever the saloon got
its deserts. 1t was then and there. Mr..
Twomey knows what he was talking
. bout, and we knows that he knows,
because he lived several years with
in five miles of Danielson, the town
which he used as an illustration.
In size Danielson Is almost exactly
that of Skowhegan. Under local OPP
tion we have seen as many as thir-
teen rum holes licensed there in one
year. The saloon keeper had first to
pay $3.50 to the town. Next came his
rent. Then the stock of liquor to buy
and lastly his living. The license was
for but one year at time so the pres
sure of necessity drove the liquor
seller to market every drop possible
With the competition which thirteen
saloons involved the conditions were
simply horrible. Even Mr.. Twomey
could no more than do them justice.
The history of the town running
back for a long series of years shows
one year wet alternating with two
years dry" After two victories the
temperance forces would grow care
less and suffer defeat. The last time
the town voted wet" the temperance
committee went to the expense OF
bringing voters home from Wash
ington, ID. c., but they lost by Il
majority of three After the election
it was found that of the four minis
ters on the voting list, only one had
taken the trouble of going to the
polls Three votes would have tied
the count and kept the town dry.
Don't forget that every vote will
count September II, too.
