them working knowledge, so that
they can apply his teachings and
put to practical use the fundamental
truths which he instills into their
minds from lecture to lecture.
This psychologist has had a most
varied and interesting career. Born
IN Erie, Pa. he was educated in the
grammar and high schools of that

direct results of this unconscious
thinking. Science" said DR.. Weld

happen in our lives and the mental

an expenditure Of from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Last Fall 1t was found that the wa
ter showed evidence of contamina-
ton. It was thought that unusually
heavy freshet the spring before had
washed into the pond filth from near
by farms and a school house, The
pond II fed by springs. There was
nothing to do but buy UP these farms.
which was done. The trustees Sc
cured the money, spent around $12.-
900 and more would have to be spent
Under all these conditions it seemed
best to the trustees, who by the way
have always given their services
without any recompense whatever, to
increase the rates as proposed. The
Commission thought otherwise. In
stead Of increasing from 81 to So per
faucet the Commission has reduced
to So and made other changes as ap-
peared in the report recently publish
ed. For instance the trustees had al
lowed q small discount to certain
takers paying within a specified time;
they had thought the sprinkled sys-
TENS installed would result in using
less water for q fire in q building
than II the fire got under way and the
fire department poured in a torrent
OF water from the MIGRANTS. There
were buildings, he believed, that had
the sprinkler system installed which
mad not used pint Of water since
the installation. Then there were
instances where places with a certain
number Of faucets would use no more
water than II they had half that num-
Der.
Mr.. Macomber was mayor Of the
city at the time the previous water
company came to Augusta and is ia
miliar with the conditions. The Wa
ter District was obligated when it
took over from the old company to
carry out in good faith all the con-
tracts Of that company. He called
attention to the fact that not all the
citizens OF Augusta can be served by
the water and those taxpayers who
cannot be served feel differently than
DO those who have the service, Under
these conditions the original water
company had to make favorable terms
with the city and these the District
mas carried out. They have received
ONCE rent, heat and light in addition
and are charged nothing for the car
rying OF the water pipe on the bridge
lie said the original contract with the
city provided that the city should nav
a specified sum for each hydrant over
a period of 20 years, that thereafter
it was to pay $1,000 annually for the
service. He said he had asked the
Commission to try out the trustees
plan for year but this it would not
agree to do.
He added that he felt that he ought
to retire from the Board. There were
certain matters he would like to see
done but he could not go on under the
conditions. He believed that the work
which has been done since the days
when the typhoid epidemic prevailed
here and compelled the people to Sc
cure pure water had resulted in the
best water system in the State of
Maine. 1--WE have a lake fed by
springs. the water is taken 40 feet
under the surface and the weekly
examinations show that it is pure"
The resignation of the trustees will
come up before the Mayor and City
Monday evening.

A very fine steriopticon lecture on
Japan was given Saturday night at
the st. Marks Parish House by DIR.

beautiful scenes in Japan, both be-

Among the places shown were the

through the heroism of the doctors
and nurses every one of them were
saved. although 1t was necessary to
move them four times to escape the
flames. The lecture was in the in
terest of drive which is now on to
raise 100000 for restoration work
