Have Crooked Spines.

Miss Margaret Major. physical di-
rector of women at the University Of
Pennsylvania, declares that half of the
POO freshmen goods at the institution
have developed some sort of curvature
of the spine from sitting and standing
carelessly.
"They are accustomed to carry
their books in their right hand" she
says They rest on the right foot
when they stop. That raises the right
hip and raises the right shoulder and
soon. without daily counteracting eX-
ercises, they have developed curva-
ture"
Sitting with the right leg crossed
over the left likewise tends to the
same effect, according to Miss Major.

LEGEND LIVES ON
Another Explanation of Lost Con-
tinent of Atlantis.
Students of History Are Coming to the
Belief That There May Be Basis
of Truth.

story of the perhaps authentic con-
tinent of Atlantis has recently ap-
peared from the pen of Scott Elliot
that submerged land in which interest
is heightened by the fact that 50 little
is really known about it.
The present writer tells us that sew
eral colossal geologic catastrophes took
place prior to the Christian era-some
between 100000 and 100000 and the
most recent, 1854 years before the
drama of Calvary. AT these several
periods the form of the seas and CONT
nents was modified, water taking the
place of land and vice versa
The traditional deluge conforms to
the last of these hypothesis, which is
also the basis of the legend Of the lost
city of vs.. 1t explains, moreover, the
confused memories of certain ancient
peoples relative to large island lying
beyond the Pillars Of Hercules, our
modern Gibraltar.
Plato, and others before him, spoke
Of the in aston of Greece by people
from a distant land. There We're gold,
covered temples in this land and won
derfu orchards and forests, and its in
habitants dwe!t in peace and prosper
lty under the scepter Of Neptune's de-
scendants. But 1t was related, this
people fell into evil ways, 50 that Ju-
piter rolled the ocean over them, and
all persisted.
These happenings, ignored by us,
barely punctuate the mists that en-
shroud the hundreds of centuries that
lave come and gone yet it is none the
less true that human kind vaguely
cheriShes the belief in these gigantic
earth movements concerning which so
many suggestions have been ad
vanced. Dodorus Of Sicily mentions
the hypothesis of violent disturbance
In the Mediterranean, which, travelling
through the straits of Gibraltar, over
whelmed Atlantis beyond
Is this all dream stuff? Is there no
basis Of truth in these strange legends?
Who would attempt denial in the
face of Mr. Elliot's evidence? Whence
came the wonderful tales of flourish
ing countries and splendid cities for
ever covered by the waves?
1t is easy to appreciate the attrac-
tiOn offered the imaginations of poets.

teu of Atlantis. Plato made it the
subject of magnificent narrative

Spaniard, Don Jacinto Verdaguer Ba-
con. too, wrote of "The New Atlantis"
city of scientists, where everything
that could produce human genius
found its focus and was preserved and
brought to perfection.
1t is probable that we shall never
know anything definite concerning this
dream country in which superstitious
sailors still believe. bending over the

distant ringing of water muffled bells

Germany, with industries and trans

the summer white house located in
Maine, heretofore a personal matter
with him, he having offered to give
FShore Acres" for the purpose, is
now in fair way of official presenta
tion to the federal government by the

Douglas presented to the legislature
a resolution requesting delegation
of Maine senators and representa-
tives to appear before a congressional
committee and officially present the
great natural advantages the State
of Maine possesses as summer resi-
dence for our Presidents, and to use
every proper means to have the
President summer residence located

will doubtless receive unanimous

MRS. EMMA N. BURKE.

Mrs. Emma N. Burke died early
Thursday morning at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. L. Merle Scott,
on Liberty street. Death followed a
shock, which she suffered Wednes-
day morning, and from which she did
not regain consciousness. Though
Mrs. Burke had been in feeble health
for several years, and had suffered
two previous shocks, she was about
the house as usual until two days be-
fore her death.
Mrs. Burke was born in Steuben,
January IT, 1S43, a daughter of
Gideon and Mary Leighton. She was
twice married, her first husband be-
ing Fred Googins of Hancock, and
her second husband Lewis Burke of
Cherryfield. In both those towns
where she lived she had many
friends. For the past fifteen years
she had made her home with her
daughter in Ellsworth, receiving de-
voted attention during her long in
validism.-
Mrs. Burke made many friends,
and during the active years of her
life was ever ready with neighborly
helpfulness. Though death comes at
an advanced aged, and after long i'll
ness, the passing of another old
resident gives sadness to many.
She leaves besides her daughter
Mrs. Scott, two sons, Charles e.
Googins of Hancock and Malcolm H
Googins of Hudson, Mass; also two
grandchildren, Merle Googins OF
Whitneyville, Mass, and Lynn
Scott, jr., of Ellsworth, and one
brother, Jason Leighton of Cherry.
