The Sanitarium.

Thursday DR.. A. B. Cross
brought young boy, aged 10,
by the name of Miles from Crow
ley to the sanitarium on account
of an injury to his eye caused
by the explosion of cartridge.
The injury required an operation
of evisceration, which was per-
formed by Drs. Mouton and
Clark. The boy is doing well.
Sunday Mr.. P. B. Roy brought
a child to the sanitarium to have
its eye treated.
The sanitarium is now full and
has been practically so ever since
opened. 1t is doing a splendid
work and indications are that it
will soon be too small to meet
the demands.

half past five. Mr.. Carpenter had cleared
the Goals all ont of the frebox, as he
thought, and placed in the kindlipg. He
then poured on kerosene and was about
to light it, when the explosion occurred.
Besides his face, his arms received the
effects OF the kerosene when it blew up.
At first it was thought that the
match WAS the cause of the accident. but
ON investigating the match was found
intact on the floor Live Goals, which he
had failed to dump from the fire box, is
the general opinion Of what caused the
explosion. Mr. Carpenter is man 70

GAVE UP HIS FLIGHT.
Harry N. Atwood Had to Come Down
Because of Disabled Machine.

Kennebunkport, Me-, May 2-The pro-
posed aerial trip of Harry n Atwood
from Saugus, Mass. to Portland Me-,
came to termination here when his
magneto-biplane became disabled. At
wood returned to Boston.
Although the seventy-five mile trip
was uneventfut, Atwood said it de-
veloped numerous observations from him.
The country over which he flew was
the most densely wooded he had ever ex-
perienced, he said. This resulted in
much anxiety ON his part when in fast
gathering darkness he could see no good
landing place within six or eight miles.
He attempted to fly over the water
at the start, but he found the air off
the coast to be so cold as to prevent
operation of his machine and the biplane
was headed along the coast. Atwood
was somewhat chilled when he landed,
but he suffered no serious effects.
Atwood left the aviation field at
Saugus at sos yesterday afternoon
From Saugus to Portsmouth it was good
going, he said. Between these points
Atwood followed the coast line. but at
Kittery he left the coast and kept be
tween the railroad tracks and Mount
Agamenticus until he reached Berwick
Junction. Then he again took to the
railroad as a guide and followed it to-
ward the coast. There seemed to be
woods everywhere and rather than run
the risk of being forced to land in a bad
place in the gathering darkness, Atwood
headed for the only opening in sight,
the field at Wells.
