apparatus for Saving Life In Case of
Electric Shock or Drowning.
Next Saturday afternoon at Q O'Clock, at
the office of the Bar Hsrbor & Union
River Power Co., there will be q demon
stration of the Draeger pulmotor, which
the company has installed at the Office here
for the use OF the general public in case of
electric shock, drowning or asphyxis-
tion. The object OF the demonstration is
to familiarize the people Of Ellsworth
with the use of the puImotor. Physicians
especially are urged to attend.
The pulmotor is in compact form, to be
carried to places of accident by any re-
sponsible person. The company urges the
physicians called in cases of electric
shock, asphyxiation or drowning to call
at the Office and get the pulmotor on their
way to the patient, as much depends
upon the promptness OF its use.
Some wonderful cases of restored ami
nation by use of the pulmotor are on
record; virtually the restoration OF life
after all signs of LIE had left the patient.
The Bar Harbor & Union River Power Co.
has installed these pulmotors at several Of
its stations for the free use of the public.
The pulmotor is arranged to be easily
carried in case. The case contains two
separate pieces OF apparatus-an oxygen
inhalation apparatus for ordinary oxygen
inhalation, and a special apparatus for
artificial respiration. Both have in COM
mon an oxygen cylinder, and either may
be operated singly.
The oxygen passes from the cylinder
through reducing valve to an injector,
which draws in large volume of air and
propels this air through flexible tube.
This suction and delivery injector acts as
motor, alternately filling the lungs and
emptying them by suction without injury
to the lungs. With a full cylinder Of
oxygen the pulmotor for artificial respira-
ton will continue in automatic operation
for forty minutes. The respiratory rhythm
OF the apparatus adopts itself sutomati-
cally to the capacity Of the lungs. 70, ~
There have undoubtedly been many
| cases in Ellsworth and vicinity where life
| might have been saved by the use OF this
apparatus. By becoming familiar with
| the use Of the machine now, lives might
be saved in the future.

The beautiful day of Sunday made it
possible for each Sunday school in the
competition to better its record, gains be-
ing made by every one, from tenth of
point by the Congregational to 255 by
the North Ellsworth school. A record
breaking attendance of 129 at the Baptist
school helped to carry it forward to
first place, but only fraction over two
points separate the three leaders. The
standing is as follows: Baptist, Abs;
Congregational, 1885; Ellsworth Falls,
As; Methodist, 1913; North Ellsworth, 81.
The rivalry between the classes for at
tendance and growth is sharp. Mise
Holmes class has displaced Mrs. Whit
ney's class, and the order of the classes
with percentage is as follows: Miss
Holmes, Congregational "a; Mrs. Whit
ney's, Ellsworth Falls, 93; junior boys,
Ellsworth Falls, SO; Miss Russells, Con-
gregational, 80; Miss Milliken's, Ellis
worth Falls, 80.

that tired feeling, general debility.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifes and
enriches the blood, and in so doing
renders the human system the great

Bill OF the Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co. for $3.50 toward the expense of
changing street lights from arc lamps to
series lamps was ordered paid. This is
about half of the expense involved, the
power company making a concession to

lamps necessitated the setting of many
additional poles and stringing of consid-
cradle wire, but it is believed the better

Hazard Perry's Victory Belongs

The celebration OF Perry victory on
Lake Erie recalls that the northwest
was not only settled very largely by
emigration from the New England
states. but that those great and pop
ulous states were very probably saved
to the union in the second war with
England by the enterprise and valor
of New England sailors, the Boston
Herald observes.
Oliver Hazard Perry, then a com
mander in the navy and much discon-
tented because the duties assigned
to him offered no opportunity for prov
ing his mettle. was a Rhode Islander
in charge of feet of gunboats guard
ing Narragansett bay in the winter of
1928. Possessed, he said, by an
ardent desire to meet the enemies
OF his country" he applied for service
on the lakes. On the very day that
the order came for his transfer to
Lake Erie he sent forward fifty men.

The wilderness trip was hard and
tedious one, and the lake was reached
on March 81. All the men who had
been under his orders In Rhode Is
land had volunteered for the service,
SO attached to him were they.
There is good reason to consider the
operations that followed on Lake Erie
as part OF the history OF Rhode Is
land. The interruption OF commerce
by the war had thrown many captains,
mates and seamen out OF employment.
and many Of them had taken service
with Perry on the Narragansett
fotilla. Thus It came about that
Rhode Island had in the battle of
Lake Erie not only Perry himself, but
four OF the nine commanders, a ma
1ority of the sailing masters and
mates, q large number of the remain

sailors. besides the men who supertn-
tended the rigging and arming O. the
