"Never forfeit a friend to con.
ciIiate an enemy"
SUN SPOTS AND PREDICTION

There is no well-authenticate
case of an appreciable change of
climate within the past 1000 years..
International Encyclopaedia-We
assume this refers to any permanent
/ change, for there is record of a year
in this part Of the world wherein
noticeable change was experienced,
the summer of 1916 and following
winter.
The prediction of Meterologist H.
J. Browne that the country is again
to suffer in 1867 from changes in
solar radiation caused by sun spots
and attendant changes, as 1t did in
1851. arouses. presumably. some
apprehension. At any rate we look
back to what happened hereabouts
10 years ago.
From North's History Of Augusta
We learn that tile season of 1916
was "the coolest and most disastrous
on record" that frosts occurred
every month Of the year, that rain
froze on the fruit trees May oath,
that on June 5th and 9Th there
were wintry winds from the North
accompanied by snow and hail; that
on June many birds died because
Of the cold, some being benumbed
and falling in the river; that corn
being hoed July was cut down by
the frost; that spots on the sun
were noticed at that time; that on
Sept. 10 General Sewall records "a
fast on account of the extraordinary
cold and dry season and the decay of
religion, observed by neighboring
ministers and churches" AS to the
, quality Of the religion so secured by
the panicky, deponent saith not.
The record shows that the crop of
Indian corn was almost entirely
cut off, that of hay reduced one half,
and "of grain. particularly rye, very
considerably diminished" In addi-
ton to the unusual cold there were
severe drouth and great fires in the
forests. The atmosphere was SO
thick with smoke that on one foggy
morning Reuel Williams and Judge
Mellen attempting to cross from the
east to the west side of the river at
this place lost their bearings and the
ferryman landed back where he
started.
Describing the spots on the sun
ths2account declares they were very
remarkable. Its disc for more than
year was seldom seen without
them. During the months of April
and May they were more numerous
and of great magnitude. Some of
them suddenly burst forth in clust-
ers, and appeared for day or two
and then as quickly disappeared. On
the 29th of May there were six spots
of magnificent proportion, varying by
estimate from ten to fifteen thousand
mites in diameter. this being taken,
it appears, from the Portsmouth
Journal.
It may be little cheer to those
who take Meterologist Browne SER
iously-and in view Of what happen
ed in 1916 it is no more than fair re-
spectfully to await results-to learn
that the winter Of 1890 was as
excessively warm at the North as the
winter of 1861 was excessively
cotd

MIND and BODY
BOTH SHOULD HAVE
SUITABLE TRAINING

Lewiston. September 24-No phys
ical giants. pale-faced high brows
and fashion plated Beau Brummels
are wanted at Bates College. This
was the thought which characterlz-
ed the address given by President
Clifton D. Gray this morning at the
opening exercises of the college year:
His subject was Happiness and
Healthy Mindedness" and he began
with a quotation from the late Will
liam James of Harvard to the effect
that the chief concern of life is hap
piness. DR.. Gray went on to show
that healthy mindedness is the road
to that goal. By this he meant the
best possible functioning of lmind
and body, one being dependent upon
the other. If the body is i'll the
mind cannot be at its best and vice
versa And today when health, to
a large extent, can be secured by In
telligent eXertion we have no right
to be i'll.
"This rs why, he affirmed, Bates
is concerned in q major degree in
something besides classrooms, exam
nations and intelligence tests. We
believe in scholarship, but we are not
interested in sending out into the
world emaciated. pale-faced, neuras-
thenic high -brows who know nothing
but books. We believe in athletics,
but we are not interested in ath-
letics, if their only result is to pro-
duce a few giants whose achieve
ments may be applauded from the
grandstand but not initiated on the
field. We believe in college life, as
it is called, because Of the value its
nny.inn or hrit RI =
in after life, but we are not interest
ed if this side of college produces
only sleek, well-fed bipeds of the
genus Homo (by courtesy Sapiens,
whose most obvious contribution to
a waiting and anxious world is their
ability to serve as models of the
youth so familiar in ready-made
clothing advertisements.
With view to this all round de-
velopment Bates has laid special en-
phasis, particularly in recent years,
upon hygiene and physical education,
which has included sthe providing of
adequate infirmaries for both men
and women, a college physician and
a resident nurse.
The Bates president summed up
healthy mindedness as :including
muscular control and bodily endur-
ance on the physical side and &C
curacy of judgment and self control
on the mental side. Having acquir-
ed these things our capacity for
work is increased and thereby our
happiness. for only those engaged in
useful toll can be truly happy Not
only must we accomplish something,
however, but we must do it with
joy and enthusiasm. When work
becomes drudgery something is the
matter with the human engine.
Nothing is surer indication of the
possession of healthy mindedness
than the ability to get fun out of
hard work"

Dublin, Aug. 20-(A. P. by MaiD-
An increase in the number of desert
ed babies prompted the Union Com
missioners to order that finger prints
be taken of babies under three months
of age who are discharged from the
maternity hospital of Pelletstown.
The action was inspired by a letter
from Miss Duggan, a woman barris-
ter, who pointed out that such
scheme would facilitate the police in
discovering the mother or foster
mother of a deserted child.

serve to convince people of the men
ace this monstrous combination OF
cussedness is. There is no single
word that may be truthfully said In

ingness of those posing as human
beings to destroy the souls of their
