He threw on his air brakes and
stopped the train IN about 50 feet
Both trainmen express the belief
that the act was committed with sui
cidal intent. The events, as they de-
scribe them, are consistent with that
theory. But it is not necessary for
US to make a finding on this point and
we do not do So
1t is clear that the deceased was
where he had no legal right to be, and,
so far as we can learn, no business to
call him. Until he turned toward the
track, either from intent or confusion,
there was nothing to warn the train
crew that he was likely to get within
reach of the train. II was then too
late to avoid the accident.
We find no evidence Of fault on the

Death of Ernest U. Archibald

Public Utilities has made Public
decision in the matter of the accident
on Jan. 81, 1917 on the Maine Central
Railroad in Lewiston in which Ernest
L. Archibald of West Poland met his
death as follows:
Ernest u. Archibald, aged about 40
wears. Of West Poland. was struck by
the engine of Maine Central passen-
ger train No. 142. Lewiston to Bruins
wick, at 1245 p. NJ. Jan. 81. 1917, and
died at the hospital about one hour
later
When first seen. Mr.. Archibald was
walking south along the track, a short
distance south Of the bridge over the
underpass. He was some six or seven
feet outside of the main line track
with ample room for the train to pass.
When the train was within 20 or %
feet of him, he suddenly threw his
arms over his eyes, leaped between the
rails directly in front of the engine
and was pushed along. partly wedged
under the pilot, until the train was
brought to a stop. The engineer had

New Draft of Osteopath Bill

The language used in the present
osteopath bill on which the judiciary
committee will give a hearing Thurs
day has caused a widespread miscon-
ception of the intent of the bill. For
this reason the Proponents will present
new draft at the hearing Thursday
In order to prevent any misconcep-
ton. they have provided that the bill
should not apply to clairvoyants, chi
ropodists or persons practicing hyp-
rotism. magnetic healing. mind cure,
Christian Science. nursing. massage. or
baths with met llanical manipulation or
surgeon in the Practice of his profess
sicn.' 1t is expected that this proVis-
ion will remove substantially all of
the objections to the bill.

the ground is not frozen. In June

numerous instances are on record
where fields badly infested with white
grubs or grasshopers have been the
favorite resort of crows. whose vorac-

not uncommon; thus in its choice of
insect food the crow is rendering an
important service to the farmer.
THE nest -robbing habit of the crow
is verified by stomach analysis, but not
to the extent that has been generally
believed, as in 1103 stomachs examined
only 30 were found to contain birds
eggs, and no doubt a large per cent of
the eggs of poultry taken by them are
taken from refuse piles, etc. The lat

is eaten every month, is the most
important item in sections where much
corn is grown and forms about third
OF its yearly diet. Much of this, now
ever. may be. considered waste, as the
larger amount is consumed from NO
Nember to March. The use of coal tar
upon the seed corn is usually effective
in preventing the pulling of growing
corn and the amount of insects de-
