SECOND PROPHECY.

Doris was taken to wishland anc

was my turn. AS l took my place, a
voice said, "eleven of the class of 1915
have been revealed to Miss Clifford. .
She saw them in their homes, offices and
occupations, and you shall see the future
of the remaining eleven schoolmates.
Something like an electric shock went
over me and heard the voice no more.
A darkness, and then light! Where am l?
AT summer resort or beach? "Oh
this Is the grand nautical Ball Room
yonder," says young lady to her friend.
Lets go up. So they started off in
the direction from which the quick and
snappy music was waited to my ear.
thought | would go up, too, so l started
close behind them. On going in l dis
covered only two people en- the large
ball room floor, and oh so many onlookers.
The couple must be exhibition dancers.
Perhaps it is Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon Cas-
tie. Their bodies were bending and
swaying to the rythm of the music,
How natural they look, both of them.
The pretty, sweet face of the lady was
flushed with pleasure, and the man she
was dancing with could but look admir-.
ingly at her, as every one did. At the
end of the dance, they stopped directly
in front of me. How she resembled
Hazel Fowles! but this couldn t be Hazel,
for she always detested dancing. just
then she looked at me and said, "Lillian! '
We were SO pleased to see each other and
of course we chattld about school DAYS,
She said, 'let me introduce you to nv
most apt pupil-Mr. Carter, he dances
with me all the time" "We have five
classes, beside the exhibition work we
do" l was dazed to learn that Hazel
was a dancer. What strange things fate
will do! In flash this scene changed
and found myself in Waldo. l knew
my classmate Ada Webster lived here,

l began to feel that awful sensation of
seasickness, so l left them and went be-
low to my berth. A crowded street,
throngs of people are hurrying to and
fro There are the usual street sellers
on the corners selling notions, neckties,
etc, and on one corner crowd was
thronged about stout man. AS drew
nearer, pleasing tenor voice drifted to
me. Why! this is my old classmate Will
liam Norris. never knew Billie could
sing. but sing he certainly could now.
And he wasn't singing from shorthand
notes either. He was singing something
about "Nita." l could not catch all his
words. The air certainly was not Juan
ita, so it must have been Anita, for l
remember Billie used to be fond of girl
in his school days named Anita. l was
just ready to go up and talk to Billie
when the street. Billie and all disap-
peared. A swift series of thoughts,
dull aches and pains ran through my
body, as though someone was pinching
me. l knew ! was nearing Bob Heating.
| found myself in the office of the
geological survey" At desk was seat
ed Bob. He was very distinguished
looking man, and he looked as though
business was his only thought. But this
was wrong, for business was not Bob's
only thought. He was looking for a
wife! He told me that he had been the
proud possessor of four ravlng beauties
for wives. Three of them had died I'M
der Bob's tender and loving care and the
fourth wife-for Bob had been in the
divorce court-was in the insane asylum.
l knew Bob would drive some poor NOR
tai to lunacy before he died. l am in
the wide endless corridor of one of the
largest hospitals in new York. An op-
GRAFTON was being performed in a room
nearby, for l could smell the hateful
odor of ether. l did not know why l
should be here, so l hurried down the
corridor to make my departure, when l
saw a white capped and uniformed
nurse coming toward me. So pretty and
demure did this sweet blonde look to me
that thought II bet she was breaking
good many sick mems hearts, not because
she wasn't giving them very good care,
but because she wouldn't give up her
nursing and be just his nurse" AS l
drew nearer l knew on sight that it was
Maude Field. Well this didn't surprise
me, for l always knew Maude intended to
become a nurse.
Goodbye, dear old High school.
Friends, pupils and teachers SO true,
We leave thy old walls and thy haunts so
dear
And everything that pertains to Belfast High
school,
Give three cheers,
Our aim for knowledge has been a slow strug-
gle.
And, dear teachers, it is you,who have helped
US through our troubles.
We do not regret one day that we have been
under your care,
But shall cherish it as memory sacred and
rare,
For many day, oh comrades dear,
We have looked for this farewell with hope
and fear.

HISTORY.

Listen, my friends, and you shall hear
Of the class which graduates this year.
We entered the high school with Cheer
But twenty-five of US survive and are here
The task to decide what lessons to take
Soon brought us all to lively debate.
We said to each other, if we intend to stay
We must master our lessons or be boxed on
the ear.
So we went to work with courage and will
And soon found ourselves at the top of the
hill.
Business before pleasure is always the rule,
So we held a classmeeting right after school,
Motions were in order, names we present
And Claude Jipson was elected as presi-
dent.
Secretary and treasurer was next to declare
And Marguerite Coombs was voted to chair
The next year, in the fall. when we came back,
Some of our members we did lack.
Among the missing was girl named Mink
And many others of whom l cannot think
We SophOmores bad no recreation to bring us
any cheer.
And it was dig, dig. dig, throughout the whole
year.
II you've ever been Junior you know how it
To have those pesky Seniors tagging at your
Asking will you please do this? I know
you'll do that"
Till there's nothing left of you, not one ounce
of fat.
But at last we became Seniors, much to our
delight
And like our predecessors we've tried with
main and might
To keep the Juniors working in the day and in
the night
Our treasurer reminded us that funds were
getting low
So we gave our class play about six months
ago
EARN Folks" was the title, long and hard did
we rehearse,
But we'll were we rewarded, for we received a
full purse.
Our class Is a Jonah, without the least doubt,
For whenever we've raised money the storm
signals were out.
The night of our class supper was no excep-
ton to this rule,
But in spite of all the weather people patron
lied the school,
When the supper was over, we walters sat
down to eat
And with US was Arlo, who thought he'd have
treat,
Dot handed him bread, and Maud passed him
And whatever Marguerite gave him, he sat
and ate.
But when Bobby brought him whole mince
We sent for CDR. Britton" for we thought he'd
die.
But he is still living and with US tonight
So you can see for yourselves just what he is
like.
The rest of our history is better unsaid
How commencement's been observed, till
we're almost dead.
Let US onward and upward to the uppermost
But whatever our success and however high
We rise

Like flash found myself in the con-
cert hall in Boston listening to the
symphony orchestra. In one part of the
selection they were playing the first
viollns had the solo. One of TIE violin
ists looked very familiar. Focusing my
opera glasses, found that my suspicion
was true, and that he was Jumbo" or
to speak more politely, Wesley Woods,
as usual marvelously hairy about the

the class of 1916 to have one of its men,
bers in the Symphony orchestra.
Immediately, was on 5th Ave. N. Y,
at midnight. l was about to start for a
hotel when man came out of fash

my surprise and sorrow l knew him to

Interest in the race for the flag in
the American League is increasing in
Honolulu at the present time and
many of the ardent fans have been
selecting their favorites for the race

cago White Sex have slight lead

their win yesterday.
At the present time there are seven
teams which have a chance to win the
flag. although st. Louis in seventh

to win as he has during the past fort

New York came West in first place,
but a wretched losing streak has sert

lost the punch. The pitchers have not
been going good and Cullop's injury
and the poor showing MADE by Caid-
well in the Western tour has caused
the Yankees much woe.
Naturally, being in the lead the two
sox teams are the favorite, but they
are meeting in series this week and
these teams are certain to lose out to
the third and fourth place teams in
the weeks play. Detroit has an excel.

STAR NATATORS TO
TRY FOR WORLDS
MARK IN FURLONG

Swimming enthusiasts are expect
ing that the worlds record in the
220-yard swim will be smashed when
swimmers meet in the big carnival
event IN September. The record is
held by Duke kahanamoku and
George Cunha, who made 2:29 on
June II, 1915, in Honolulu harber
Both these swimmers will be entered
in the event to defend their title
Natators who will compete in this
event are Duke, Cunha, Kruger, Ke-
Iii, Lane, Herbert Vollmer. Ted Cam
and Ludy LANCER. Everyone of these
swimmers have made close to 2:30,
and the race between this collection
of furlong swimmers should be the
greatest in the history of the sport.
Local Boys Favored.
Never before have such sterling
swimmers been entered in one race
over 22G yards. and Honolulu with
Duke, Cunha and Kruger should be
right at the front at the finish line.
These three swimmers are expected
to give the mainlandeTs hard fight
in this event, and two out of the first
three across the line should be local
boys.
"Stubby" Kruger is one swimmer
that the local enthusiasts should
watch in this race He has special
lied over this distance. and there are
rumors that the blonde natator has
made under 2:30 in practise. If he
can do this against the opponents in
the September meet he should have
an excellent chance for a place.
What viii Duke Do?
+ Duke Kahanamoku is expected to
swim in time faster than the record,
and what will be the time, no one will
predict, as Duke has a habit Of going
out in race and pulling off the I'M
expected. In his recent relay mark
he smashed a new record, and did
more than was expected by his most
ardent admirers.
George Cunha has been practising
religiously and is looked upon as
place winner in the coming meet. he
is perhaps the, fastest over this dis
lance and will enter this race, confi-
dent that he will again have some
thing to- do, with any new record that
is eStdbf1Shed.S~
The mainland swimmers will be
here this month and are expected to
begin real work upon their arrival
here. The trio will enter the three
big events while here, and may per.
haps enter in special events that will
be staged.
w. r. Rawlins, who will be chair
man of the committee for the meet,
is out again and is expected to get
in harness. The swimming enthusi.
asts nave welcomed him to the fold
as he will have much to do in looking
after the arrangements for the meet
Despite his recent illness it is expect
ed that he will play big part in the
staging of the big swimming carnival
