Waterville Handy to
Travelling Facilities

One of the things that makes the
city of Wateryille a very desira BILE
place to live in from the viewpoint
OF many people is the many facilities
that the city affords for travelling
about without inconvenience. In
every direction there Is either train,
trolley or bus service and in most
every case one can have the choice
Of conveyance. In the westerly d.
rection there is half hour trolley car
service to Oakland and trains run
frequently. To the south one can go
to Augusta by trolley, train or auto
mobile. To the north there is a Is
minute trolley service to Fairfield
from II to Z during the day and
trains run often. To the east how
ever. one has to procure a vehicle as
neither train. trolley or bus connect
with the small towns in that direc-
ton. At one time the narrow gage
railroad connected Winslow with
these small towns in the east but it
was discontinued. as. 1t was unable to
get across the Kennebec river and
continue to its intended destination,
Pennington.
Wa .erville is on the main line Of
the Maine Central Railroad and has
excellent railroad service to all the
Maine cities being only about hours
from Boston and three from Port
land. During the summer the Bar
Harbor express. considered the best
train in the state goes direct through
to New York. When the new tram
schedule goes into effect a day coach

Picking Long Dry
Spell Broken

Picking, June Is "a. p. by mail)-
The first rainfall of any consequences
in Peking and vicinity during the
present year occurred May I'll II
rained again May %. The drouth
was the most prolonged for several
years.
There is little of the unusual in the
above facts. Springs are apt to be
dry in north China. The noteworthy
feature is the fact that the rainfall
conceded with a solemn ceremony
performed in Picking to Yu Shen. the
god of rain.
Prompted by the distress of agri-
culturists whose crops have been all
but ruined by the drouth, Picking
official and religious bodies issued
an invitation to the officials of Shan
tung to send to the capital an his
torical iron tablet of the Ming Dy-
nasty which is said TO have a record
for producing rain. According to a
story which is widely accepted by
the Chinese. magistrate of Han
tanhsien, Shantung, in the days Of
the Ming emperors, became SO con-
cerned over the sufferings of his peo-
pie because of drouth that he cast
himself into a we'll as a sacrifice to
the gods. On the following day rain
fell and the drouth was broken.
Out of gratitude for their deliver
ance the people built a temple and
enshrined in it an iron tablet inscrib-
ed with the name of the martyr and
a record of his deed. The then en-
peror. when the facts were related to
him, was so impressed that he con-
ferred upon the magistrates name
the title of Yu Shen. In the years
following the tablet has been brought
at intervals to Picking when the ne
cessity for appealing to the rain god
became acute. as in the present in
stance.
A day or two ago the tablet ar
rived. 1t was reverently placed in a
yellow sedan chair, relic of the
imperial days, and with much cere-
mony borne to a temple inside the
Forbidden City. There a ceremony
was enacted before it with incense
and kowtowing exactly as was done
in the imperial days. Officials of the
Boy Emperor's court and of the re-
public participated side by side.
