Bar Harbors water department has
been profiting just $40 per day during
the stay of the German steamer Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie in that port, but
that is about the entire amount, as
almost all of the supplies have been
secured from away and the sailors
when on shore leave spent almost
nothing, they being allowed only 81
per week. Six hundred and ninety
officers and crew are now on the
vessel
The small catches of herring along
the coast in the vicinity of Eastport,
is said to be due largely to the run
of high tides. Old fishermen say that

quoddy bay.

your shoes at the door. Why? Cause

lows.

The steamer Nahanada fouled the
telephone cable between Sawyer's Is
land and Isle of Springs Tuesday
afternoon while on her down trip from
Bath to Boothbay, and the boat was
delayed nearly two hours by the acct
dent. The passengers and mail were
transferred to the Winter Harbor
which came along just after the acct
dent. The cable was evidently not en-

draft of only eight feet and two
inches and when she fouled there
was IL feet of water under her. The
cable caught on the kedge and there
was some crashing and ripping when
the cable was hauled from the fas-
Jennings on the home of Allen Lewis
on Sawyers Island. The boat was
not damaged and the cost of relaying
the cable will not be as great to the
Telephone Company as il might have
been but for the prompt action of
Capt. Brewer of the Nahanada who
was not slow in discovering what he
had collided with.
Smells have been making their APP
pearance during the past week on the
Maine coast but are not very plenty as
yet. They are appearing in larger
numbers in the New Meadows river
than in the Kennebec, but the fisher

catches until the weather becomes
colder. Smells are the most popular
fish caught by the amateur fishermen
and during the season the wharves UP
and down the whole river front are
lined with fishermen, most of whom
