Williams news., 1916-11-16

Mars is inhabited. His observa- ton that the canals of Mars are very regular led him to believe that they are artificial. The theories of Dr. Lowell were to radical to receive general acceptance by astronomers.
 Dr. Lowell was brother to A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard University. His home was in Boston where he was born March 13, 1855. He came to Flag staff at certain seasons for his studies at the observatory which was established in 1864, because of the clearness of the atmosphere.

AUSTRALIAN WOMEN
 DEFEAT DRAFT BILL

After a campaign of several months over the question of drafting Australian men for the battle fields of Europe an cleo tion was held Oct. 26 to deter mine how the electorate of the nation stood on the question of conscription. The result of the election was that 723,OOO voted against the proposition and 637, 900 for it, thus defeating it by a majority of 86,0OO.
 Tie women of Australia are given credit for the defeat of the measure and it is supposed they reasoned thls way. The flower of Aurtaalian young men had gone to fight the battles of the British empire, many to Egypt. The Egyptian contingent was later returned to their homes, taking with them loathsome ven- ereal diseases which they had contracted in camp. The dis eases brought home by the sol diers spread like an epidemic and it was better to use the ballot to prevent other young men being compelled to enter the army and contract diseases which would later work havoc among Australian populations.
 It is rot alone Australian women who are concerned with this feature of war. German women are aeitated' by a pros pect of. similar results from war and English women are also con- cerned lest this aftermath of war shall be a greater detriment to the nation than the death and wounds of actual carnage. A generation or two will remove the crippled, and obliterate the graves of the dead, but the dis eases of war will be handed down for many generations and prove a blight from which re- covery will be very slow.

DR. LOWELL DEAD

Dr. Percival Lowell, director of the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, died Nov. 12 of apoplexy. Dr. Lowell was an astronomer of in- ternational reputation. He was best known as the principal ex- ponent of the theory that Mars is inh abited. It was from the Flag staff observatory that he first an- nounced his discovery of vegetation on Mars. His inference was that

To Make Historical Collection

AT a recent meeting, the Trustees
of the Skowhegan Public Library vot-
ed to accept the check of $50 sent
them some time since by Hon. Henry
A. Wyman of Boston. Mr.. Wyman
whose boyhood was passed here,
thought the library should have de-
partment for collecting and preserv-
ing documents, pictures and other
articles of historic value and this do
nation was intended to start a fund
for the purpose. A local donation of
about SO has been made for the same
purpose These contributions are to
be kept in separate account to be
known as the "Wyman Historical
Fund" and the library trustees would
of course. welcome other gifts for the
same purpose. They also suggest
that those having articles of historic
value submit them with reference to
their being assigned a place in this
new department at the library build
ing.

road. are now pets of Coburn Ave
home They have adopted manners
in keeping with their present aristo-
cratic surroundings. some of which
are quite out of the ordinary. In
this household small brass basins on
each radiator contain water, the evap-
Grafton of which is supposed to keep
the air in more healthful and agree
able condition. The two cats have
discovered the location of these
bowls and, after eating unfailingly
go to some one of them to make their
toilet Sitting on the radiator they
will very daintily dip in first one
paw and then the other conveying
the moisture to the lips and face with
style as perfect as might be seen
in the most refined society. This is
the only recorded instance where
cats have been known, entirely of
their own accord, to take up personal
habits of such delicate cleanliness
