The Sea of Space,

The mind cannot comprehend what
is meant by the four little words in the
expression "the sea of space" If the
volume of space" included within our
solar system-which is perhaps but a
single train Of planets among hundreds
Of millions of similar kind-were oc-
cupied by one single globe 100000, 900
miles in diameter it would be but as a
feather in the marvellous spread Of wa
cancy" surrounding 1t. In fact. it has
been calculated that in the space occu-
pied by our solar system O0.0O0,000,.
100000 globes of the size Of our earth
could revolve, each at distance Of
100000 miles from the other, and the
whole business would be nothing, for
there is no wall to the treasure vault
of heaven.-Exchange.

A philinnins Medicine Tree.

Between the provincial building and
the Filipino schoolhouse, part of which
is used as a girls dormitory, stands the
sacred tree of the Ifugaos, with span
of its branches of 300 feet. Nor is it
tree at all in the true sense, for it is a
gigantic example of the balete, which
begins as parasite vine, kills the tree
on which it rises and then hides 1t in
its twining trunk. The Ifugaos think
that when that huge tree dies they, too,
will perish. but there is an industry, a
stolidity and a stamina in that obscure
race that should remove from their
hearts all fear Of extinction. Christian

Medford Boys May
Go To Officers School

Lieutenants Deuel. and Foss and
Corporal Villas Of the 7th company
have been accorded the privilege OF
entering the second officers reserve
corps training camp at San Francisco,
should they so desire. 1t is not
known as yet whether they will take
advantage of the offer. Portland
newspapers intimate that the Oregon
Coast Artillery, of which the 7th
company is part, will probably be
kept on duty at the Columbia river
forts during the war. Letters re-
ceived in the city from company
members have also stated that this
belief exists among the soldiers.

Personal Responsibility.

There is such thing as personal re-
sponsibility which cannot be delegated
to another. In the navy, for example,
we dock ships, and the docking officer
Is held personally responsible. Dis
bursting officers in the navy are per-
sonally responsible for every payment
made not only by themselves, but by
their assistants. They cannot delegate
responsibility to the pay clerks even
for the petty cash.--F. G. Coburn in

POTATO TRADING FOR
FOODS IS STOPPED

Inc complaint of a woman who for
some reason or other thought that the
practice ought to be stopped, although
II is understood that her bows were
, mixed up in it, put stop to the, trad
ing OF potatoes from the Aroostook
county potato trains for pies, cakes,
sandwiches, cigars and so forth. and
ruined the supply of a couple of groc-
ers at the North end of the CITY. The
woman came to the marshars office
and told of the practice and said that
everyone about the yards was COM
planning about it, The marshal handed
the case over to Detective Russell of
the Maine Central, who CHANGED to be
in town. and when one of the long DO
tato trains from the northern section
pulled into the yard, Mr.. Russell was
on hand. The train had hardly stopped
when 20 or 30 youngsters swarmed
about the cars and each boy had a
package of eatables or cigars. cigar
cites and so forth which were prompt
ly traded for potatoes, the caretakers
OF the cars being willing to make good
trades. Mr.. Russell telephoned for a
plain clothes officer and he was sent at
once and in short time the yard of
f1ce was full of boys each with his bag
of potatoes The whole story was told
by them, it being that they had made
a practice for some time of taking to
the cars eatables and other things that
the men caring for the potatoes might
want and then took the potatoes which
were received in exchange to the near
by stores, where they were able to get
a good price for them. The men in the
cars were not fussy about the number
of potatoes and it was said that as
much as bushel of potatoes would be
given for pie and like trades were
the rule rather than the exception. Just
how far prosecution will go it is not
known by the officers here. but it is
doubtful If the first offense cases will
be punished as many of the boys did
not realize that the men in the cars
had no right to give them the potatoes
in exchange. The woman's story clear
ed up a puzZling leak for the Maine
Central as 1t was thought that the po-
tatoes were disappearing in Portland
where the trains stop for about three
hours, and not here where they stop
but a few minutes.

NEAR SERIOUS ACCIDENT
MONDAY AT STATION

What came near being a serious acct
dent occurred when train No g., the
morning express from Bangor, came into
the city Monday morning. the engine
striking a baggage truck and hurting it
across the platform, the truck hitting
John J. Michigan and badly bruising him.
Mr. Michigan. who is one of the oldest
employees of the road in the city, had
taken his truckload of mail down to the
place where the mail car stops and was
waiting for the train to come in standing
behind the truck. The truck had, how
ever, been placed few inches too near
the track and as the engine came along
the front end hit the truck. throwing il
across the platform and scattering the
mail about. The truck in its flight caught
Mr.. Michigan across the legs. knocking
him down and badly bruising him about
the legs. The train was nearly at the
stopping place but 1t was stopped with a
bang when the engineer saw that the ac-
cident was to happen, but 1t could no,
be stopped quickly enough to prevent It.
The truck was badly smashed. The pe-
culiar feature Of the accident is that Mr.
Michigan. the man who placed the truck.
has been in the employ of the Maine Cen
trail for about 80 years and has ALWAYS
been in the baggage department and has
hsen n,acing trucks beside the tracks sew
oral times a day for all that time and
this is the first accident OF the kind he
has ever had.
