OF all these things that I have loved
so long,
Not one will know when I am dead;
VIII mourn for me.
The thruSh'S song
Will be as sweet when I am gone; the
Will rise as splendidly
In flushed horizons; and the purple
hills
Will be as beautiful. when evening
fills
With stars and mist and shadows.
There will be
The same still waters, when my life is
done.
OF all these things that 1 have loved,
not one
Will mourn for me.
Margaret De Laughter, in Poetry.
1t is said that an airmail service
between Boston and Bangor may be
established in the near future and
that if so it will be marked at night
by a path of light just as has been
arranged for the night flights of
aerial mail carriers in some other
sections of the country. 1t will not
be many years before aerial naviga
ton will be so improved that mails
will be transported across the
ocean.-Bath Times.

part of the lake can occur.

The new radio set on Seguin is
proving a great treat to the light
keepers and their families and they
are getting great results from it ow-
ing to the fact that it is fine set, the
station Is we'll above the sea level and
there are no trees on the island to
interfere with the sound waves. The
keepers are now able to get the Off
cial time twice daily, at noon and 10
P. M. When the set was installed
they found their watches and clocks
about ten minutes slow owing to the
fact that they had not received Off
cial time and had not been ashore
for some time to set their watches.
