Life in Revolving Houses.

There is something attractive in the
| idea of a revolving residence recent
| ly advanced by Partisan architect
The house would be made to turn on
its axis, or 10 swing like a swivel
chair, so that the occupants, When
tired of looking out of the sitting room
toward one point of the compass
could by merely moving a lever, or
better still, by touching an electric
button, soon be in "a position to look
toward another point. Under this ar
rangement those fond of the sun might
sit in it all day, while those DESTROYS
of the shade could as easily make
themselves comfortable. If the back of
the house should, for any reason, be
cooler then the front of the house, and
GOODNESS was the state sought by the
inmates it would be no trouble at all
to sail the living rooms around from
the 'front.' or if coal might be saved
by moving the back of the house to
the side, or by changing the east side
so that it would face west, all that
would be necessary would be to start
up the motor"
The Christian Science Monitor pub
lished the above and followed it with
various misgivings and provisions
against this and that. such as re-
moving ashes from a house while in
motion, painting revolving homes, etc.
THE Monitor is obviously, getting on
its tl1inking-cap to meet new line
of problems With the view of assist
ing in the good work, we would mod
estly suggest elastic water and gas
pipes and light and telephone wires,
so that, after n home had reVolved
respectable number Of times in il GER
tain direction, tho motion be revers-
ed to remove the pressure on modern
eonveniences Likewise this plan
would operate in mitigation of dizzi-
ness
The Monitor thinks city ordinances
should be passed in cities of revolv-
ing homes, against revolving after 10
at night. Now if this editor proposes
to assume that stand for argument
we shall be obliged to oppose him
According to our liquor interest
friends we already have too many
sumptuary laws in Maine. and a rap
idly revolving home might produce
similar phenomena in the perambula- !
tions of some of our citizens as now
acquired at the expense of violation Off
said rsumptuary" laws. And again,
on retiring, if the house holder would
slip the lever into high speed, his
home would be immune from porch
climbers. Icck- pickers. summons-serV
ers and yowlng tom-cats.
AS for serving notice of intended
we must again disagree.

The Weather Prophet.

He wore sad detected air.
Ills eyes had a most mournful stare
When he was asked the reason why
He bowed his head and made reply:
I'm the man, if you remember
Who predicted for December
We'd have a hawking blizzard
O, YOU must remember that
That the cold would be appalling,
Snow for nine days would be falling,
And now | hear the people say
That | talked through my hat
Then to his eye there came a tear.
Whose pathos never did appear
When asked why all this extra woe
He answered II would have YOU know
I'm the man who said the cold. sir.
Throughout all this month would hold
sir.
That the iceboats on the Hudson
would be racing New Years day:
But the weather's been like Spring, sir
And it is an awful thing. sir.
To be a weather prophet when things
never go your way.
