Memorial to the Late Senator Frye.

A memorial to William P. Frye was
adopted, August 18th, by the Ferry Beach
park associat ton of Universalists, as
follows:
1.-The Ferry Beach Park association of
Universalists gladly and reverently
offers it's tribute to the life of William
P. Frye. 1t saw in him the noble hus-
band, the devoted father, the faithful
friend, the unselfish citizen, the COM
manding orator, the consecrated states
man. To the young men OF America
who seek to serve their country and the
world, he gives the shining example of
one who, by his courtesy, his simplicity,
his truthfulness, his longing to serve all
men in every station of life, his industry,
his courage, was the worshipper of God,
the disciple of Jesus, the statesman VIII Q
consecrated all his power to the service
of his country"

Frankfort Needs Fire Protection.

FRANKFORT, Me-, Aug. 16. As the re-
suit of much agitation the people of the
village plan to at once secure fire pro-
lection, either by building a system of
water works or buying fire apparatus.
For many years the town seemed i'm
mune from fires. A good handful rust
ed for lack of use, and the selectmen
finally traded the engine for a road ma
chine. Since that trade the village has
had succession of fires. Stores, resi-
dences, and finally the only hotel, have
gone up in smoke, the only protection
being the old-fashioned bucket brigade.
The hotel fire of last week was the last
straw. Now the village people say that
they are going to do something at once
before the remainder of the town burns,
that they will swap the road machine
back for a fire engine if they cannot do
any better, but that they think the town
could afford both.

An excessive amount Of fruit, or, if
eaten either in the un-ripe or over-ripe
state, produces various disturbances in
the system, chiefly so because of its ten
dency to ferment and decompose within
the digestive tract, and to produce stom-
ach and bowel disorders. If these dis
turbances are not too great, or too pro-
longed, they need occasion no special
anxiety. A dose of castor oil, to which
a few drops of laudanum have been ad-
ded, is usually sufficient to clean out the
irritating "debris," and in a day or two
the natural equilibrium is restored. If

NEED OF MORE CITIES BEAUTIFUL.

He is wise man who learns from eX-
perience, but he who learns from the eX-
periences of others is wiser than the one
who learns only from his own. If only
our American cities would learn from
the experience of cities on the other
side, there would be, in years to come,
avenues and parks of striking beauty
which otherwise will be imposs IDLE, or
attained only at enormous cost. London
has already widened a few of its densest
thoroughfares at cost of millions, and
now plans to spend million dollarss in
the removal of two comparatively small
buildings which, being on corners, de-
stroy the beauty of the Admiralty arches
at Charing Cross. The removal con-
templated would provide the finest spec
tacular street in all the city.
London, of course, has been centuries
in growing, and even 100 years ago its
citizens did not dream Of it's present
greatness. Our own American cities,
many of which will not reach their GEN.
fury mark for years to come, will some
day wake up to a realization of what
urban beauties they could easily have
had if only the present generation had
been less absorbed in temporary utility
and more thoughtful of the future. AS a
rule we all build too small, and frequent
ly before a structure is completed the
owner regrets he did not plan more lib
orally. Nor is it necessary to plunge
into needless and useless waste of
money; the simple spending of money
lavlshly is not art, but it is possible to
plan ahead and to inaugurate public i'm
provements the expense of which should
be spread over such period of time as
will put upon coming generation its
/ fair snare Of the burden, either of con-
tinuation or completion of the work, or
retirement of bonds on which money was
raised to do it. We need great awak-
ening here to loyal pride each in his
own city, for no town is so large, that it
cannot do something to give the place a
distinction that It's own people will enjoy
forever, and visitors remark when they
are within it's borders. Paris, Berlin,
Brussels, Vienna have each spent mill
lions in this way, and the results will
Justify the act for all time. There is no
need for US to wait until our cities are
moss-grown with age; we can commence
