At the Opera House

With comedy prevailing in both the
vaudeville acts and even in the photo
plays, the program at the Opera house
Thursday-and the same will continue
through the rest of this week-was
one to drive dull care away. -Four
young men. for a quartet that they
have christened the Harmony Four"
the quartet numbers, though a trifie
weak on the bass, are melodious and
well rendered The comedian does not
oyerdo his part, and their closing
scheme is somewhat novel. The La
balkans are acrobats of ordinary abil-
ity, but their little fox terrier is I'M
usually clever. Another picture in the
series of the Mutual Girl, His Day Of
Freedom THE Fatal High c." were
the photo plays shown.-Adv

Freshet in River
Subsidies Rapidly

The water in the Kennebec river
Thursday fell two or three feet and
il continually decreased in volume and
force 1t is believed that the worst of
the spring freshet has passed, and
that what melted ice and snow does
come from upriver will be of little
consequence. The Messalonskee has
also taken a fall Of from Is to Is
inches and although the water is a
little too high and strong for enjoy
able canoeing it is believed that 1t
will continue to recede, and will be
in it's normal condition within few
days.
