SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.
Asks Postmaster to Be Cupid.

The postoffice department at Rock

al bureau. Thursdays mail brought TO
Postmaster w. O. Fuller the following
communication: Would you be so
kind in helping me to find nice
young lady for wife? / don't seem
to find the right one in Brooklyn. All
they want is to have a good time. L
am an American and am lovable and
true. Hoping to have good luck, am,
yours truly" Postmaster Fuller does
not make public the name and address
of the writer and as yet has found no
solace for the lonesome Brooklynite.

Robber of pauqhter's Present.

James Shackley, a lumberman who
lives in Alton, has asked the county
officials and Bangor police to look up
a man whom he suspects looted his
house while it was left unoccupied in
his absence in the woods. Mr.. Shack
lev told the police Thursday that the
thief stole all his clothes. He said he
did not care so much about that loss,
but the thief took box sent by his
daughter in Skowhegan, marked

To Eliminate Tango in Bangor.

City Solicitor B. w. Blanchard of
Bangor. Me, to whom was referred the
matter of drafting a special city ordi-
nance to suppress or control the tur-
key trot, tango, kitchen sink and 9TH
er modern dances, has been wrestling
with the subject for a week or more
and has finally found way out. He
says Section 10, Chapter 125, of the
Revised Statutes of Maine provides as
follows: Whoever as owner manager,
director, agent or in any other capaci-
ty prepares, advertises, gives, presents
or participates in any obscene, in
decent. immoral. or impure show or
entertainment, or in any show or en-
tertainment manifestly tending TO cor
rupt the morals of youth, shall be pun
ished by fine not exceeding $500, or
by imprisonment not exceeding one
year, or by both such fine and i'm
prisonment" Mr.. Blanchard says that
this is law enough. The matter seems
to be still unsettled for no city OFF,
cial has been found yet who will quail
fy as a censor as to what dances are
immoral. Meanwhile the turkey trot-
ters are still trotting.

Brazil to Cooperate.
It is proposed that while the ex-
ploring parties are engaged with the
natives in their distant haunts, the
party in charge of the steamer will
conduct photographic surveys of the
rivers and their tributaries. In this
way a great deal of geographical In
formation will be obtained which will
be useful from a scientific stand
point, as well as from practical con-
siderations.
The government of Brazil, always
interested in whatever pertains 10
scientific investigation, has indicated
it's readiness to cooperate with the
University of Pennsylvania in order
to secure the success of the expedi-
ton and t. make it's labors most effec-
tive. The important results which
may be expected from this underta-
king will bring as much credit to Bra

vania, and will secure for both scien-
tific and practical results OF the very
greatest permanent value.
The valley OF the Amazon is one
vast forest, where modern civilization
has never penetrated and where the
only industry connected with modern
life that has taken root is the extrac-
ton of rubber from the native forests.
Neither agriculture nor mineral
wealth has attracted the white mans
enterprise.
