Visitors who saw the historical
pageant at Athens Friday evening
describe it as a wonderful perform
ance. 1t traces the history of the val
ley from its creation to the present
time. Nearly characters takes part
and the pageant takes up a large
field. The costumes are historically
correct and striking. The fair and
pageant are both worthy of being
shown in a place 10 times the size
Of Athens.
The people must have worked to-
gether with great cooperation to
produce such fine results. The fair
closes today and the pageant will
take place at 100 this afternoon.

Questions Loyalty

Dow he thought II desirable that
the duly nominated Republican
candidate for governor should be
advised that some of the supporters
Of Senator Frederick Hale would be
luke warm or Indifferent to the
governors success if not absolutely
opposed to it" unless the the gu
bernatorial candidate were immedi-
ately ito announce his support of
Senator Hale for the senatorial
nomination two years hence" ire
spective of anything that might
meanwhile transpire' to affect the
views of citizens of Maine upon mat
ters of public concern. The chair
man of the Republican State COM
mittee was to bring such influence
as he could to bear upon the gov
ernor to take this step" This was
in the midst of an important CAM
raign.
1t is exactly as if one of the lead
ing players upon a football team at
critical point in the game should
inform the coach that he would quit
the game unless assured of sup
port for the position of captain the
coming year. The American spirit
of fair play has never contemplated
conduct of that sort.
The citizens of Maine are capable
of determining for themselves the
proper Technology to apply to a
transa ction of this kind. The chair
man of the State committee states
that h was very much surprised
to find the governor taking the mat
ter so seriously" and protests the
loyalty of both Senator Frederick
Hale and Hon. Percival P. Baxter.
The chief information which I had
concerning this question came from
the chairman of the State commit
tee and l took his communications
at their face value. considering that
we were engaged in business of i'm
portance to the State and not in
dulging in a game of chance.

assurance of the chairman of the
State committee, later confirmed to
me by MIR. Baxter himself. that his
support would not be Forthcoming

through Mr.. Field. The statement
was so widely Mt variance with the
facts that it was impossible to con-

as condition for the full Republi-
can ticket receiving his support.

have been taken seriously. 1t is not
possible to ignore the Importance
OF combination of Senator Fred

ernor did not care to hold public
office upon conditions of that sort.
The 1900 boiling Republicans
have now dwindled to 1000 in the
light of the official returns. This
discrepancy would seem to be amply
accounted for by the various causes

discussion of this matter in the pub
lie press.

w. /. Hurricane
Not FlOrida's Alone
Nor Are They New

| Washington. D. c. Sept. 25-"West
indian hurricanes are not new. nor
are they confined to Florida" saws n
bulletin from the Washington. d. c.
headquarters of the National Geo
graphic Society.
! In the season that is peculiarIv
| thelr own (there are hurricane grow
ing months just as there are corn
growing months) they have probably
peen blowing up from the Gulf of
Mexico, the caribbean Sea. and the
tropical Atlantic since those bodies Of
water and the American Continents
nave eXisted-a matter of some hun-
| dredS of thousands of years. Rut
only a few of these many potential
destroyers actually work their de-
struction on the territory of the Uni
ted States, and these are confined al
most wholly TO a period of three
months of the late summer and early
autumn.
Thus they leave Florida AMI the
other Gulf States free from danger
during the late autumn. the entire
winter, and the early spring months
when that area attracts its greatest
crowd of visitors. 4
The warm seas eastward and
southeastward of the Gulf of Mexi-
co are the birthplaces of the hurri
canes. They are the creatures of at
mospheric pressure and temperature:
and these two factors are varied by
J the sun beating down on the expanses
| OF Atlantic water and the land mass
Of our continent.
| Do Not Occur in Winter
One OF the most striking facts in
! regard to West Indian hurricanes is
| the marked concentration of the real
ly destructive ones within n few
weeks of each year. A study OF the
| hurricanes that had occurred since
| 1897 was made by the United States
| Weather Bureau few years ago and
1t was found that in this long per-
! lod not one storm of known hurricane
| intensity had visited the West Indies
| and Gulf regions during the months
from December to May inclusive.
Two other months can practically be
! eliminated: November with only two
| hurricanes in nearly forty years, and
June. with six. Not all of the few
| November and June storms reach
American territory.
| Season" Starts in AUGUST
} July itself Is rather a poor hurri-
| II
! hurricanes have been recorded in the
last forty years and only part of them
reached shore. The real hurricane
| season starts in August, reaches its
| peak in September and ends during
| October. One reassuring fact Is that
when the hurricane season is at its
| height the greatest percentage of the
storms fails to reach the Gulf or At
lantic coasts. Many curve back into
| the ocean even as far east as Ber-
| mudas.
Between July and October of
every year from to 10 hurricanes are
| born somewhere between Florida and
Africa, usually to sweep westward,
then northward and finally back
| northeastward, their paths forming
pretty accurate parabolic curves. The
primary factor in the careers Of these
storms is believed to be an area of
high atmospheric pressure, or high,
| that exists practically permanently
over the Atlantic north of the Tropics.
In other words, a great blanket of
heavy. sluggish air lies continually
| over this area. Along it's southern

Once around the end of the high they

The Galveston storm turned north
