Effects Of Music On Animals.

Why does a dog howl at the sound
OF music. Is it because he dislikes
il?
Scientists affirm that dogs howl in
trying to initiate the human voice, that
music charms them, and that their
howl is not one of wall and woe, as
the sound would indicate, but one Of
pleasure.
Hunters tell us that wild beasts can
be charmed by the sound of music. In
stances have been known where hunt
ers have been able to save their lives
from wild animals by the sound OF a
flute or harp.
In Mr.. Van Vechten's book, "Thd
Tiger in the House." an entire chapter
is devoted to a discussion OF the cat
in music.
"Music hath charms" to the animal
family as we'll as to the human fami-
ly.
A dairyman informs us that he al
ways sings or whistles when milking
his COW, that the cows stands more
quietly. He claims that music will in
crease the flow OF milk.
One poultryman even goes so far as
to declare that monograph placed
in the laying room and kept playing
music will increase the number Of
eggs.
Whether these results will follow or
not, we are unable to state, but we do
not know that II there were more music
around our dumb animals and less
swearing and abuse, the animals would
enjoy themselves much more, and the
owners would be we'll repaid for their
kindness.

The same man cited an instance
not at all unfamiliar-of dogs re-
fusing to hunt with 4 man who had

only the instinct Of all living creatures
TO avoid injury.
Animals DO have a memory-at least
some OF them do. The trapper's
theory would not explain those many
evidences of recollection wherein self

Drowned In a Fish Story.

A jocose contributor to Outdoor Life
is the author OF the most delightful
fish story" we have read in a lone
while.
An interesting experiment, he says
was tried some time ago with an or.
binary saltwater herring. The fish
was put into a large bowl OF sal,
water, and every day small quantity
OF il was removed and an equal
quantity of fresh water substituted
until eventually the herring lived and
thrived in purely fresh water.
The owner was so much pleased with
the success Of the experiment that he
then began daily to remove a small
quantity of water from the bowl until
it was empty. The herring seemed IA
do very well without it, and, since i,
was so lively in the empty bowl, the
owner had to put it into a cage.
There it lived happily, hopping from
perch to perch, just like bird, until
one day some sudden noise upset and
startled it, and it fell into the water
trough and was drowned.

PRIMARY FORETELLS ELECTION

Owing to the late closing of the
polls the results in detail of the State
primary, yesterday, necessarily are
coming in slowly. At this time of
writing the returns indicate the en-
dorscment Of Senator Hale and Gov
ernor Baxter by decisive majorities.
The vote while light was fully as
large as most expected under the I'M
favorable condition Of the weather,
and is not indicative Of any unusual
lack of interest.
Enough is now learned to bring
gratifying assurance to the Republic
cans Of Maine.
The contests developed no appre-
ciable bitterness and there has been
a noticeable absence of personalities
connected with this primary. There
is Furthermore manifested a Cisposi-
ton on the part Of the voters to en-
dorse both the National and the State
administrations, an appreciation Of
what the voters believe to have been
honest, earnest efforts on the part of
cur representative in Congress and
our state admini, ration to give their
constituents the best within their
power to give. And in passing all
should experience some satisfaction
in this evidence of stability in time
Of general unrest.
Maine in the primary has shown
no desire to swap horses in crossing
the stream. What better assurance
short of the actual fact may be asked
that She will do likewise in Septcm-

that the women of Maine are Inclined

Whatever later returns may bring
one may fairly conclude that the
Republicans of Maine have every en-
couragement to enter the State cam
paign with zeal and united purpose.
Neither is there cause for any fore

A MENACING THREAT

If one may judge from announce

the railway employees are eager to
strike in connection with the coal min
ers. The fact the coal production is

Nc Furthermore that unless soon set
tied transportation facilities handled
with the utmost efficiency might
prove inadequate for proper distribute

and places of business, supposing the
heads OF the enterprises dependent on
supply of fuel should all combine to
prevent the distribution Of both fuel
and food to the homes of the strikers
would that be moro unjust than the
combine which the labor leaders now
propose? If so in what way?
Those who declare the wage reduc-
tons have been unjust have this very
important fact confronting them. six
on the nine members Of the board have
favored those reductions after long
consideration Of the question. OF
these six, three were chosen as rep
rosenting the public and they have
been unanimous in favor of the re-
auctions. The three representing la

In other words the members of the
board supposed to represent the pub

the railroads on the one hand or of
the railway workers on the other have
been uniformly in favor of reduction
OF wages. In the seven years and a
half from Jan. 1914 to July 1921 the
wages of railroad workers were in
creased 200 percent. The defation
proposed only reduces the increase by
comparatively little, a year ago the
defation being II percent and the re-
cent cuts averaging IS percent.
Are the railroad workers just and
wise to threaten to starve and freeze
people and paralyze industry on this
account?

tilted in adopting such drastic meas
ures? No one compels the railroad
worker to stay on the job. If he is
anywhere nearly as capable as he rep
resents himself to be he is capable of
earning a living at some other occu-
patton. Very many who work for a
living have to do this, have to seek
and adapt themselves to new employ
ment and they are not threatening to
freeze the world to compel it to keep
them on their old jobs.
But the railroad workers are high
ly organized; they are paying hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to lead
ers, they are and for years have
pulled political strings and maintained
legislative lobbics. They have not
hesitated to take advantage even of
the threat of war to compel a wage
which was unreasonable at the time it
was granted. Many of them have
worked early and late to force the
Government under the Plumb plan
virtually to turn over the railroads to
the workers and are threatening the
political careers of the men who dared
to vote against it.
They are now threatening to starve
and freeze people into submission.
This won't be much of a United
States of America to brag about if
they succeed in doing it.

SHOULD RECEIVE CONSIDERA-
TON

A reader of the Journal urges that
Augusta should not go away from
home for a candidate to fill the va
canCy to occur in the position OF
superintendent of schools. Asked
whom he would put forward as a
candidate he based his argument
on general principles, that other
states send here for their superin-
tendents in so many instances it is
proof positive We have the material
right here and so why not make use
of it.
Now while the record of expert
ence shows that the stranger within
the gates receives more attention
than the dwelIer therein, also that
even prophets have usually lad
trouble in securing the approval of
their own country, nevertheless 1t
would be short -sghted policy to
overlook excellent material at home
and send away for no better and
possibly an inferior grade. Surely no
one should object, indeed all should
approve giving the home material
in all such instances a careful and
unprecedented consideration.

CONTRIBUTING TO EDUCATION

L or unto whomsoever much is
given, of him shall much he re-
CURED" is the text taken by Presi-
dent Angel of Yale for his bacca-
laureate address, III course of which
he made these comments: COLLEGE
men are justly expected to possess
trained intelligence, breadth of in
teIlectual outlook and CAPACITY for
hard work. Failure in anv ono of
THESE rudimentary requirements con
stltutes an Indictment of the educa-
ton the man has received. The col
loge bred man who does not con-
ceiNe his task in life as one com
pelllng him to make some contri-
button to human advancement. is
unworthy Of his privilege"
This in lesser degree applies all
along down the line to the primary
school. Even the latter would not
exist but for the contributions made
by our forbears So is passed on
from generation to generation ever
accommodating responsibility to i'm
prove on that which we inherit.
What a marvellous result accrues
even if the Improvement in each
generation be but slight,
1t has been said that: IF YOU
know an honest man or woman
when You meet one, if you know a
good book when YOU read one. if
YOU know a good picture when you
see one, if YOU know good music
when YOU hear it--you're educated"
This might perhaps be amended oy
the requirement that one should be
able to recognize the false premise
on which an untenable argument IS
made TO appear tenable. However,
there ought to be no difficulty in ar
irving at concensus of opinion re-
specting the fundamentals of cduca-
ton. There doubtless always will be
more or less difficulty in insisting on
those fundamentals, in thoroughly
testing the pupil and the teacher to
make sure the essentials are re-
CURED. because the fripperies often
have the charm of novelty and the
promoting of propagandists. Con-
tributing to these is often much more
popular than contributing to the
eternal vigilance required for the
preservation of and insistence upon
the essentials in our schools.
In passing it would seem unfair
not to pay merited tribute to hose
whose contribution has served well
and improved that to which it was
contributed. Appraisement is, per-
haps, impossible. but there are fea-
lures which are encouraging. The
