WATCH A WONDER

Few pieces of machinery show more
marvellous features than that of the
watch. AS a general proposition It may
be stated that watch is the smallest,
most delicate instrument of the same
number of parts that has ever been de-
vised. About 175 different pieces of ma
terial enter inLp the construction and
upward OF 2468 separate operations are
comprised in its manufacture.
Certain Of the facts connected with
It's performance are almost incredible
when considered as a whole. \ black
smith strikes several hundred blows on
his anvil in day and as matter OF
course is glad when sunday comes, but
the roller jewel of watch makes
every day--and day after day-432, 600
impacts against the fork or 157,6S0,000
blows during the course of year
Without stop or rest-or some S,153,-
100000 blows during the space of 20
years, the period for which watch is
usually guaranteed TO keep good time
But the wonder of it does not cease
here. 1t has been calculated that the
power that moves the watch is equiva-
lent TO only four times the force used
in a flea 'ssjump The watch power is
therefore what might be termed
the equivalent of four-fea power.
One horsepower would suffice to oper-
ate 270,00O,000 watches.
Furthermore the balance wheel of a
watch is moved by this four flea
power LA inches with each vibration,
or 355SA miles continuously in one
year.
Do not neglect your watch. If it
needs repairng take it to A. NJ
Nights, S14 Water street, for quick
and skillful work.

Readfield Chariot
Race Too Dangerous

A county wide interest is being at
tracted to the Roman chariot race
scheduled to he run at the Readfield
fair at p. NJ. Thursday. Sept IS. En-
perienced horsemen protest that life
and limb should not be risked in any
such foot-hardy stunts
The contest will be once around the
half mile track and as there viii prob
ably be three contestants each driving
abreast four raw. unframed road
horses hitched to a pair of forward
wheels. There certainly promises to
be some dust in the air when the II
horses come down the home stretch.
Warren Butnam of Readfeld, the
hustling young lumberman, will drive
his four bays, and Harold sullivan of
Kent's Hill will rein his four blacks
and whites. Fifty dollars is up that
Sullivan wins. as his friends are back
ing him ON the strength of his past
reputation for hair raising experiences
with horses. The name Of the third
will be announced later.

sang out: "Hello-hello, captain! hold
