1t is estimated that 700 salmon have

way, we haven't this year seen that
stereotyped Bangor story about the

the fish hatchery. This year the fire.
quenters of Branch pond are COM
planning, one argument being that the
German trout have driven the salmon
from the lake. To ease their minds,
let us quote from The American of last
year, when the Branch pond fish were
biting and the Bangor Green Lake
colony were holding conclave to find
out why the fish didn't bite in Green
lake At that time the Gossiper said:
Every fisherman knows that there are
good days and bad days for fishing,
and good years and bad years for GER
tain ponds While fishing in one pond
is good this year, fishing in another
nearby pond, where all conditions
seem the same, is poor. The man who
can tell Why fish bite one one day and
not on another or one year and not
another, has never been born"

DEWEY DEMANDS
NAVY NEXT To
ENGLAND
"Inadequacy Is an Invitation to
War" Declares Admiral, Urg-
ing More Ships,

WASHINGTON, June 27.-An ade-
uuate American navy means a feet
second only to that of Great Britain,
and "inadequacy is an invitation to
war" is the opinion Of Admiral Dew
ey, ranking naval officer of the United
States.
81 believe it is the duty of each
generation to pay its own insurance
and not to thrust its burdens on the
generations that come after; and the
tusurance for peace is a navy strong
enough to compe! it," says the Ad-
miral in an article written for the
program for Navy Day at Newport,
July 2. and just made public.
The only function and justification
for the existence Of a nevy is the
preservation of peace. To perform
this function the navy must be ade-
quate and, though so much discussed
il these recent times, the word ade-
quate,' as applied to the navy, has
but one meaning, and that is an 'ade-
QIate navy is a navy of a strength
sufficient to meet and defeat any
probable enemy.
Must Pay Penalty.
This strength is not absolute, but
Is relative, and varies from period to
Icriod as the other naval powers OF
the world vary their naval strengths.
At the present period adequacy on
our part calls for a navy second to
that of England only.
I'VE, ourselves, through lack of
our fathers and grandfathers, paid
the penalty of our generation in the
loss of hundreds of thousands of lives,
and our sons and grandsons have
been paying the costs of the billions
of dollars wasted and the hundreds
of millions ct pensions for which
they we're mortgaged; and they still
Crltinue t. pay.
Mortgaged by War.
we are paying to-day for the
navy. as an insurance which does not
insure us, roughly $3.50 per capita
per annum. Besides what has already
been paid in lives and money. we are
still mortgaged, by lack of foresight
in our fathers, to the extent of the
national debt and the additional $3.50
per capita per annum that we are
paying in pensions
Shall our lack Of foresight con-
tinue this system 70 mortgaging the
coming generations. or shall we add
the relatively small sum needed to
the insufficient insurance we all pay
to make that insurance adequate?"

For Working Man
Or. H. L. Banks, of Boston, Says
That Superior Results Can be

BOSTON, June 2s.-"Your nerves

Beacon Street. He believes that no

upon his nerves in order to do his
most effective work can work more
than four hours a day to advantage.
For the last three years." says he,

The Slavic people still retain trace
of this morbid dance in a Death dance
of their own. This IS performed by
young girl who pretends to be corpse.
She must remain rigid while the rest of

their dancing, and their ridiculous car

boy who can make her laugh or waken

dance, despite its grewsome idea, is
very popular in some parts of Bohemia
There was nothing morbid or I'M
healthy in the funeral dances of the old
Greeks, where members of the family
or paid mourners, walked in solemn
and stately manner around the funeral
pyre of the dead and chanting hymns
in his honor, while they scattered flow
ers and poured out libations Of wine to
the gods But other religious dances Of
the pleasure loving Greeks were less
dignified and certain diOnysian mys-
teres participated in only by women
ended in the widest kind of revey.
This festival permitted the women who
were hedged in by very strict laws and
even narrower conventions to get back
to nature for a while and they made
full use of their opportunity, led by the
wild Maonads, the high priestesses of
the God of Wine.

q ONE Of the strangest dances the
y world has ever seen have been Of
religious origin.
We have Holy Jumpers in some COM
munities to-day, whose religious eXor-
tatiOns are accompanied with wild and
often frenzied motions Of the body, but
they are no more sensational than the
religious dances of more primitive peo-
Pile.
About 1874 there was an epidemic of
the Dancing sickness (St. Vitus) in the
southern Tyrol. A great procession was
formed of men. women and children
who danced their way to the very dis
tant shrine of the saint to pray for
speedy cure either for themselves or
some one dear to them
This dancing procession is still fea-
ture of the Feast of the Pentecost at
Etchernach about 900 people joining
it every year They all hold hands and
advance five steps back. This gives the
procession the strangest, most fantastic
appearance, like a huge snake that
jerks along. There are plenty of brass
bands to keep the dancers spirits up
and the close contact of so many other
praying and dancing people is infeC
tiOuS. 1t is said that many cures are
affected by the pilgrims and that many
of the younger ones lose their hearts on
the way to the shrine But that is con-
sidered to be particularly lucky.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-21

The most morbid and fearful of all
the dances in Christian times were the
Death Dances which appeared at the
same time as the great plaques and
were the peoples expression of grim
and CHASTITY despair ct their lot. The
grizzly humor of these dances, which
were led by a man dressed as Death
himself, painted like a skeleton with
crown and ermine coat, can only be
understood if you try and think your
self back in those times In the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries every
plague especially, ravaged Europe,
sometimes killing every one of the in
habitants in a small town. There was
no idea of cure for any one who con-
tracted the disease, and no exact
knowledge of how it was caught The
people were as helpless Is sheep before
a flock of wolves. If one man died of
the plague in the town il was pretty
sure that many more would, and no one
knew whose turn would come next So
Death was constantly in everybody's
thought, ana they could not even get
away from the idea in their merry
making. but danced with death as the
Piper of a long CHASTITY procession.
At this time dancing had become a
perfect mania and many people were
ACCUSED Of having the Dance Sickness,
which was form of hySteTia or st.
Vitus dance, quite as popular in the
middle ages as neura sthenia is now.
The dance of death had a very bad ef-
