Senator from Maine, who died yester.

ing a man of means. sent him to Bow
doin, from which he graduated in 1850
He then took up the study OF law and
after a few years passed his examina-
ton and was admitted TO the bar.
Younh Frye entered the political
arena whel quite young and was first
,lected to the state legislature OF his
state in 1861. He was reelected the
following year and in 1864 was elected
presidential elector. Two years later

With great ability. He was again elect

same year was made attorney general

you VIII gather from the above
explanations that the red glare Of q
flaming fuSce on or near the track
warns the approaching engineer that
preceding train has passed over his
track less than three minutes ahead
of him. and under no circumstances
must he pass this signal while burning
red. When the fame turns to yellow
he may proceed with caution. ohly as
the way is seen and known to be
clear. keeping fin mind that when the
fusee changed from red to yellow he
was exactly three minutes behind a
preceding train, which may have stop
ped within short distance or may
be proceeding at an unusually slow
rate OF speed"
The superintendent Of the Shore line
division. another branch of the same
railroad. gives this additional detail re-
garClng torpcdoes:
"When train stops upon the main
line and requires protection against
n following train the flagman goes back
n specified distance and places one tor
pedo. He then continues farther
distance back. placing two torpedoes.
As soon as tho train he is protecting is
ready TO start the engineer blows n
specified whistle signal, which is
notice TO the flagman to return to HIS
train. On the way back he picks up
the one torpedo, leaving two on the
rail TO warn the engineer of an ap-
preaching train that another train is n
short distance ahead and TO give the
flagman time to run back and get
aboard Of his own train"
OF the use of fireworks as signals I'm
the navy the chief Of the bureau OF
construction and repair Of the navy de-
partment. Washington. makes the fol
lowing statement:
"All modern ships are fitted with
electric signals, and the use OF such
signals Is general I'm the naval service.
In the case of small vessels having no
electric installation and also for use In
case of the failure of the electric Sig
nails the navy has system of colored
stars I'm connection with rockets for
the purpose of signaling
These IRE In no sense the ordinary
commercial fireworks, but are manu-
featured by the service for naval use
exclusively.
There nre no photographs Of this
system Of signals for distribution. The
apparatus consists Of specially de-
signed pistol from which are fired car
tridges containing the colored stars
that are used in the service code."-

"Our rules provide for the use of de-
tonators. commonly known as torpe-
does, as audible signals and of 'fusees
as visible signals.

"Thc explosion Of one torpedo Is a
