READ BLAzED WAY
FOR OCEAN FLIGHTS
Americans Feat Less Spectac-
ular Than That of Capt.
! AlcUck.
o. s. wARsH1Ps AIDED HIM
First Oversee Air Journey Was
Made for Purely Scientific
Purposes.

Although the h6nors Tor the first nom
stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean
no to a British officer. Capt. Alcock. the
ifst man to pilot heavier than air
machine across the sea was Lieutenant
Commander Albert Cushing Read OF the
American Navy, who with crew OF fve
man took the navy sea plane NC-4 from
Rtckaway Beach to Plymouth, England.
By way of Newfoundland. the Azores
ana Lisbon. Portugal.
1ieutenant-Command Reads trip
was not a nonstop flight and he was not
competing with commercial airplane
firms for a money prize On the con-
tfary he was making n scientific test oil
the possibilities of that type OF plane, so
that his flight in no way compares with
ana does not detract from the glory OF
the performance of Capt. Alcock. AS
matter OF fact 1t took the American
planes longer TO fly from Rockaway to
Lisbon than II would take the modern
steamships 10 make the distance.
Commander Read flew his machine
from Trepassey Bay, " F.. to Hortai IN
the Azores, distanceN of about 1850
land miles, at an average speed of about
eiehty-flve miles On the subsequent
laps to Lisbon and to Plymouth he
averaged slightly less. the trip to Ply
mouth being made at the rate of some
seventy.fve miles an hour. The flight
OF the NC-4 to Horta was the longest
nonstop flight that had been made up
10 that time. and remained the record
until Capt. Alcock succeeded in flying TO
Ireland A week or so after the seaplane
landed at the Azores 1t was reported in
news dispatches that a French aviator.
Lieut.. Roget. had flown almost 400
miles from Paris to Rabat. Morocco.
Later. however, 1t was determined that
Lieut.. Roget had flown only about 1,1oo
miles.

Commander Read left Rockaway or

NC-3, piioted respectively by Lieuten.

curiously enough his was the first OF tbs
planes to have any misfortune and the
first to finish the flight. The NC-4 de
veioped engine trouble after she hat
gone but short distance from Rock
away, and was forced to land at Chat
ham, Mass, while the other two contin

passey Bay, where the start was made
on the flight to the Azores. Commando,
Read. however. was not daunted. II,

| both as social affair and receipts, al
/ though the attendance suffered by a
counter attraction at Standpoint. The
| chairman of the committee was forced to
| relinquish her duties by sudden bereave-
ment, the work falling upon Mrs Isaac
Littletleld. The program arranged by Mrs.
Earle Il Richards was open to but one
criticism, it was much too good for the
admission charged. The children and the
Camp Fire Girls appeared in features most
pleasing. The other denominations in the
village contributed materially to the pro-
gram through the courteous participant ton
of Mrs. Hulley and Mrs. Farris, both
ladies being favorites with local audi
ences. Something agreeably fresh was
the singing Of Miss Jennie Batchelder,
whose voice shows more than ordinary
promise for young woman of unusual
musical talent. Albert Batchelder gave
violin solos in exceptionally good form,
completing a program that was worth
double the price of admission and which
merited a much larger attendance. Messrs.
Gerrish, BatcheIder, Merrithew, Trundy,
with Miss Batchelder at the piano, pro-
vlded music for the dance, which brought
belated crowd, and Mrs. Mudgett and
Mrs. Thompson served ice cream until
after midnight. The ladies' of the society
are under obligations to John H. Ward
well for rendering assistance and in clos
ing his ice cream parIcr.
The active assistance of Rev. Ashley
A. Smith of Bangor in revitalizing his
former parish in Belfast is reflected in a
movement here to reopen the Universalst
meeting house. Regardless of personal
belief or lack of belief, there is no ques-
ton of closed church speaking i'll of
community, From every point of view
1t is most desirable that the old church
be again opened for regular services. For
a great many years the parish has been
without resident minister, save for the
period when Rev. Harry Enos Rouillard
held the passionate. For the most part
the pulpit has been filed by the incum-
bent OF the Universalist church in Belfast,
who also gave more or less time to the
church IN Swanville. Such an arrange
ment IS by Tar better than a closed
church; but what this parish stands in
| absolute need OF is a resident minister.
l ne good Whlcha clergyman accompllshes
IN community results more from daily
contact than an hours occupation of the
| pulpit on Sunday. The most Jealous of
the several ministers who have worked
on this time honored plan have failed to
arrive at that general intimacy with the
people which makes his influence effect
i've, and some have absolutely failed to
get really in touch with more than few
families, remaining an utter stranger to
the average resident The present ma
terlal prosperity of this village should
warrant an attempt to reach some basis
upon which a resident minister can be
secured and receive wide support But
II this proves impracticable, then by all
means let the parish continue to cooper
ate with Belfast parish as of old.

converted into convenient school room
with but few necessary changes. The
present engine hall was built by Daniel
Simpson shortly after the reorganization
of the company in 1874. During its con-
struction the original building was re-
moved to the top of the town house Hill
and opened upon Church street. Built
to accommodate the hand tub Penobscot
purchased for the town in 1854, the old
building served the community in various
ways, the upper room serving not only
as hall for the activities of the fremen,
but also as Police Court room, an Ad-
vent chapel and a private schooiroom.
1t was finally purchased by ?. j. Beals
and hauled to the northern part of his
land on Pike street, where 1t is still in
use for storage purposes.

COLD WAVE WILL BRING
WORK FOR FIRE FIGHTERS

The cold wave will bring in its
train a lot of work for fire fighters. 1t
is always the case that the first touch
of cold weather brings hard luck to the
careless soul who used main strength
and awkwardness, rather than horse
sense, in setting up heating apparatus.
In putting your stoves, furnaces and
boilers back into commission after
their summer vacation, remember that
some things may have happened to
them during their period of idleness.
Birds build nests in chimneys, cracks
develop in fiues, pipes rust out, SCOT
accumulates, and the paper-hanger
may have assisted the fire fiend by
papering over an open fiue hole dur
ing the summer.
In setting up the heating or cook
ing stove mistake may have been
made. The stove may not be far
enough away from walls or high
enough above the floor
