blasting and concrete filling 60 on just
the same. Some progress has been made
in the past week. A sluice has been
built to carry off the water which flows
in the stream, near the north end of the
old dam, and with this out of the way,
there has been an opportunity to make a
fill for the foundation of the dam in the
hollow at the south end. There'll be
some cold days before it is finished, any
way.

The arrival of the old Maine Farmers
Almanac for the coming year, always
the first TO make its appearance, once
again causes certain sensations, often
felt. and yearly renewed. One is the
thought Of the Increasingly rapid flight
OF time: another the disappointment felt
on looking for the eclipses of the COM
ing year. From the years OF boyhood
the almanac has been eagerly scanned,
In the hope Of discovering the magic
words, "a total eclipse of the sun, Oct.
10, visible at Augusta" but they have
never vet been found. There is little
consolation in next years almanac, in an
eclipse of the sun on the 18th of April,
which is visible here as partial eclipse.
