Senator Burleiqh.
(Aroostook Republican,


There Is something pathetic about
the passing away of the United States
Senator Edwin c. Burleigh last Fri
day, so shortly after the death of his
wife only about six weeks ago. For
almost fifty-three years they had
tracked life's trail together. She had
been a faithful councillor in both po-
litical and business affairs, and she had
presided over his domestic interests in
a way that had made her an ideal
helpmate.
The comradeship Of more than half
a century could not easily be broken,
and there is no doubt that the death of
Mrs. Burleigh was a heavy blow to
him which left him in weakened con-
dition, easily susceptible to the raw
ages Of disease.
Senator Burleigh was closely identi-
fed with the development Of Aroos-
took county. Born in Linneus almost
80 years ago, he was educated at the
Houlton Academy.
He had large investments in timber
lands in Aroostook county. He was
interested with his brother, Hon. AL
bert A. Burleigh Of Houlton, in con-
structing the Bangor and Aroostook
railroad into the Aroostook wilderness,
an enterprise that has had a great
deal Of influence in the development
and upbuilding of this resourceful re-
gion.
It was not his fault that he was not
a Civil War veteran-ill health hav-
ing caused his rejection by the mill
tary authorities.
His public career has been full Of
honors that he has carried with rich
credit Twice he was elected COVER
nor. He served a number of terms
as member Of congress. He was the
last United States Senator to be elect
ed by the State Legislature. Full of
years and rich with deserved honors.
he is justly counted among the great
grand characters, not only Of the
State Of Maine, but Of the nation.

sudden death has just occurred at Au-
gusta, was a man who honored our
County, within whose borders he was
born. who served for many years both
State and Nation with great faithful
ness and capability, and whose life
was especially valuable in the lessons
it affords of what may be achieved by
young men who build UP career on
the foundation Of hard work, strict in
tegrity, and principles Of sound and
wholesome manhood.
In his death the State and Nation
lose a useful and faithful servant, and

Observations made at the Schulma-

few days have revealed an extraordin-
airy disturbance in the sun covering
period Of FIVE days and now in its last
stages. Within this period large spots
and groups of spots were noted that
extended over nearly two thirds of the
suns diameter in one OF the disturbed
zones. The climax was reached late
Thursday, when eight groups of 80
spots were seen. One group was scat
tered over an estimated distance of
100000 miles, while another extended
more than $4,000. The former Mr.
Schulmater states, contained is spots
six of which were from $4,000 to 10000
miles in diameter. Many Of these spots
were encircied by we'll defined penum

the sole survivor Of Freshman class
Of 16 boys and girls. He persisted in
finishing his course, however, and had
the benefit of individual instruction
much Of his last year. OF course it
would have been too much to ask him
to prepare all class parts, so the COM
mencement exercises this week took
the form of an historical pageanT, ar
ranged by Principal L. A. Linehan and
