Old Legend Discredi,ed.

An observer OF the weather In England
since 1914 has been made by correspond
emit OF the London Telegraph in order to
find out whether there is any truth in
the legend that sit 1t rains on St.
Swithin's day duly 49, there will be rain
on the forty days following. The In
quiry proves the legend 10 be myth.
From 1914 TO 1915. there were fifteen 81
Swiihin's days on which there was
rain, but In no case did the fall
amount TO an inch. In no year were there
forty days OF rain at any period. Dunn
fries and Greenwich records from 1871 to
1904 show that in no year were there
more than thirty-one or fewer than four
wet days in the forty succeeding July II.
In twenty OF the years, at least half OF
forty days after July Is were wet, but in
day wet. On the other hand, although In
the two dryest seasons, with only six wet
days respectively in the period under con-
sideration, st. swithin's day was dry; yet
in 1857, after wet Jaiy Is, only nine OF
the forty days were wet.
On an average. q wet Sc. Swithin's
day entails seventeen wet days out
OF the next forty. From 1857 to 1905
there was no year In which rain tell for
forty days after July rs; the greatest
number was thirty-tour in 1896, and In
that year no rain fell on July Is. There
Eere three wears in which rain fell for
twenty-eight days, and In all these July
Is was wet. The next heaviest rainfall
was in isa2, with twenty-six wet days, and
in that year Jaly IS was dry. In 1897 that
day was dry, bat it was followed by
twenty four wet days.
In 1908 there was rain on July IS aud on
fourtccn OF the next forty days In 1857,
1910, 1911 and 1912, the day was dry. In
1905 there was rain on July rs, and on
eleven of the next forty days. In 1903
there was rain on July iS, and on sixteen
OF the next forty days. In 1913 there was
rain on july 10, but there has been little
since.
St. Swithin's day is in a changefnl sea-
son Of the year when rain is an almost
.'cven chance.

its orders from above.

The primaries in Massachusetts
yesterday resulted in the nomination
for governor of Congressman A. p.
Gardner, republican, Lieut-Gov. ID. |.
Walsh, democrat, Charles s. Bird,
progressive, Thus there win be a
three cornered fight in the Bay State,
and the conditions win be very much
the same as they were in the recent
contest for congressman in the third
district of Maine. Whether Gov.
Foss will enter the fight as an indie
pendent is not yet known, but the
chances appear to be against it. As
in Maine, the election in Massachu,
sets will turn on. the size of the pro-
gressive vote.

A Rejuvenate6 Party.

(Coi. Frederick Hale. Me1abcv from Maine Of
Republican National coSsnaftiee.l
From some OF tae statements made by
prominent stsndpat republicans in WASH
ington and other parts of the country, 1t
appears that they are taking considerable
comfort over the outcome OF the recent
Maine election. They need not do so.
There was no victory for standpat repub-
licanism.
1t is true that the tariff was very inn
portant factor in the election. II is true
that the people of the third district are
overwhelmingly against the tariff bill
now before Congress, but the tariff issue
alone would not have saved the district to
the repu blicans.
The thousands of young republicans
who last November left their party, came
back last Monday, not alone as protest
against the democratic tariff bill now be-
fore Congress, since a vote for the pro-
gressige candidate was in a way a protest
against this bill, but because they be-
lieved that they were coming back to re-
iuvenated and reformed liberal republican
party.
The candidate, Mr.. Peters, came out on
an advanced liberal platform and in his
statement, after the election, he frankly
said that the victory is a victory for the
new republieanism.
. In the list of speakers who came to
Maine and so ably helped out In the fight,
you will not find the names OF Senator
Lodge or Senator Weeks or Senator Gal
hnger or Senator Penrose, able men as
they are, coed campaigners, and tariff ex-
perts. The men who came were the men
OF the new school, men like Gardner, Of
Massachusetts,, Towner and Green, OF
Iowa, Kelley, Of Michigan, and others OF
this stamp.
Mr.. Gardner, who was perhaps listened
TO with as much attention as any OF them,
since he is New England man, made
very little talk about the tariff. He dwelt
almost entirely on the new repu blicanism.
and his words everywhere had a marked
effect.
The people of Maine do believe in the
republican party, but they insist on re-
publican party that will keep up with the
times, and unless the men whom they
send TO Washington show by their acts
that they are in sympathy with this new
republicanism their stewardship will be
brief.

GOV. HAiNEs DENIES
That he win not be a Candidate for
denomination.

That he win not be a Candidate for
denomination.
When interviewed Monday at Water
VILE by representative of the Kcnaebee
Journal, Gov. Hainss said, in reference
to the articles which have been published
in various newspapers claiming tina; he
would not be candidate for renomiua-
ton for governor, that be had made no
such statements, and that they were
absolutely unauthorized.
The governor added, however, that he
had made a remark TO a personal friend
to the effect that If II came To question
OF taking chance OF being blind or not
being candidate, he would not be can
didate, and that his future political sc-
tivity depended on his eyesight.
The governor feels that bis eyesight is
better than it was last year, and that it
seems 20 be gradually improving. He
further added that he. would be Obliged
to decline invitations to hanquets and
other night functions during the fall and
winter, ON account OF not being able to
stand the smoke and glare OF lights, to
which such occasions submitted him.
He stated that be had greatly enjoyed
the day functions he had attended during
the summer and fall, for they gave him an
opportunity to retire early, thus favoring
his eyes.
The story originated with the Lewiston
Journal, but is believed to have been no
more than one of the characteristic
scoops" effected by that paper.

Word comes from Oregon that the
workings OF the new minimum wage Law
for women is causing much perpiexity
and anxiety for the associations that aim
at the assistance of needy women. They
are finding that the employers OF labor are
dispensing with the services of women
whom they do not regard as competent TO
earn the minimum wage, and are filiing
their places with more eompesent women.
This is making lMge class OF unem-
ploycd women and OF character who
