When :. Rains Cats and pou.

Old myths from Norway contain
weird tales of the influence Of cats
and dogs on the weather. AS the
cat represented the rain. the dog
was supposed to be the wind that ac-
companied the rain. Therefore, to
rain cats and dogs meant to rain and
blow.
The dog and wolf were attendants
upon Odin. the storm god. In old
German prints. wind is represented
by the head of a dog or a wolf from
which issue great blasts. English
sailors still say that a rain comes
when the ships cat Is unusually
frisky. Witches were believed to as
sumo the form Of cats and ride upon
the storm.
To hear the expression. IT'S the
cats nose" you would not under
stand what was meant at all. But
in parts Of Norway it would mean,
It's the northwest blowing"
There are two other explanations of
the expression to rain cats and
dogs" One is that 1t comes from
the word "catadupe,' meaning water
fall or cataract. TT Is raining cata-
dupes"
The second explanation is that 1t is
a corruption of two Greek words,

Maine Poem
Written by Hart
a Popular Ode

A query was received by State Ii
brarian Henry e. Dunnack from the
Olsen Publishing Company Of Milwau-
kee. Wis. regarding State Of Maine
song which that concern desires to
publish.
1--WE understand that your State has
not formally adopted State song, but
Will you please be good enough to send
us a copy Of one of the popular songs
of your State" wrote Craddock Gorris
Of the editorial department of that
concern. 1T is important that we
have one of your State songs at the
earliest possible moment because of
plans We have to publish a college of
state songs"
Mr.. Dunnack in reply pointed out
that the State of Maine has not for
mally adopted a State song and that
several songs have been written and
have had more or less popularity.
Il enclose poem entitled Maine,
written by Lester Melcher Hart of Au-
gusta for the Maine Book, the Centen-
nial publication of the State" Mr..
Dunnack wrote. '"This poem has been
rsed by many organizations in the
State and is growing increasingly pop
ular. 1t goes very well to the tune of
Aud Lang Syne."
The poem entitled MAINE" written
by Mr.. Hart. to which the State libra
rian calls attention, is as follows:
You're just a rugged, homespun state
Perched on the nations edge,
stretch Of woods. of fields and lakes,
OF ocean pounded ledge.
But rugged deeds and rugged men
You've nurtured for your own:
Much good the world has harvested
From broadcast seeds you've sown.
AND SO. we love you. rugged state,
We love your smiling skies,
We love you for your deep-piled SHOWS,
Your jagged coast we prize.
We love you for the lofty seat
You've reared meath Heavens dome:
And best of all. we love you. Maine,
Because you're Maine-and Home!

the navy in Germany, now stand by at
Lakehurst. N. j., in reserve. and that
advance parties be sent for Astrological
work to Seward and other northern
Alaskan points as soon as possible.
Among necessary new equipment to
be installed in the Shenandoah the
board found that radio communication
instruments of medium range would
be necessary as we'll as magnetic, ra-
dio and "gyro" compasses. the radio
compass being intended to permit the
ship to take compass bearings from
transmitting stations in America and
Europe for the purpose of locating
herself accurately while in the polar
regions.
A southern route across the United
States on the way to Nome was select
ed for the Shenandoah because direct
flight from Lakehursr TO Seattle would
require the ship to cross the Rocky
Mountains at an elevation Of more than
5000 feet. At that elevation data at
tached to the report shows, hefium
gas expands % per cent. which would
compel the "valving' or. release of
enough gas to protect the ship against
the bursting of her gas chambers. The
southern route. via Fort Worth and
San Diego, presents no serious difficult
ties as to attitudes.

Auditor Hayford
Urges State to
Take by Statute
Fort at Penauuid

State Auditor e. d. Hayford who
has made considerable study con-
corning Fort William Henry at Penn
aquid, declares that In his opinion
this property which was decided to-
the State of Maine in 1899 by the
Pemaquid Monument Association,
should be taken over by the State by
statute. This is not the first time
that Mr.. Hayford has advised this
move on the part of the State, for in
his last report to the Legislature he
recommended that there be some
legislation to declare it by statute as
q State reservation.
This property includes the old fort
which has been partially restored
after various Commandments, the an
mains of the early settlement there
which it is thought dates from about
1905 or 1907.
"It seems as If 1t is worthy of q
place in our Revised Statutes" de-
clares Auditor Hayford, IF no more
than to commemorate tho fact that
1t was this little settlemen or fishing
village of which Governor Bradford
reported that the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth turned to for supplies and
help in those hard years 1920 to
1926. Unfortunately Pemaquid had
no historian at. that and history is
silent as to the number of people
then living at Pemaquid or the ex-
tent Of their operations"
The Maine Legislator took no ac-
fior on this matter at its last session,
but several public spirited citizens
expressed themselves as interested
in 1t, and It is probable that at the
next session of the Legislature an
act will be submitted. having as it's
object formally declaring this State
reservation and providing for a COM
mission to take charge of the pro-
perty and administer its affairs.
Auditor Hayford points out that at
: the present time there is a Fort Will
liam Henry Commission but that it
has no Legal standing as it's members
were first appointed by the Governor
and Council in the interim between
Legislative sessions at the time ex-
tensive work was commenced there
