Establish New
Survey Station
On Augusta Heights

The United States Coast and Geo
detic Survey has recently established
a new station at Augusta which is
primarily for the use of local sur
veyors and others interested in mag
netic declination. The new station
has been established about 70 feet
west of the probable location of the
station of 1910, according to infor-
nation received from the U. S.
Coast and Geodetic Survey by M. r.
Stackpole, assistant engineer of the
water resources division of the
Maine Public Utilities Commission.
1t is on a terrace about 100 feet
little west of south from the
highest point on Main Top Rock
(Cushnoc Heights). about $50 feet
south from high voltage power line
and about one and half miles
north from the towns center. 1t is
about 43 feet east from a witness
cross cut in a vertical rock ledge
and about 81 feet southwest from
another witness cross cut also in a
vertical ledge. The station is the
, top of large granite boulder with
a cross and the letters ~. S." cut
in the top. The boulder shows about
10 inches above the ground.
The following true bearings were
determined: Apex of statue of Cap
itol dome (mark), IL degrees, 45,3
| minutes w. of S. Top of steeple of
| Methodist Episcopal church, five de-
| grees, 27.S minutes w. of S. Top Of
steeple of old Catholic church, three
degrees, or minutes w. of S. Base
] of cross on New Catholic church
| tower, four degrees. 402 minutes E.
of S. Top of cupola of a large red
stable, IL degrees, 29.4 minutes E.
| of S.
| The above data will make 1t pos
slble to place an instrument in the
true meridian or to determine the
declination of the compass needle"
said Assistant Engineer Stackpole,
yesterday. 'The magnetic declina-
ton on October 81, 1925, at the
above described station was 16 de-
/ grees, 81 minutes west. 1t is in
| creasing at the rate of about five
minutes year in that locality"

OF the musical comedy, mo, No,

Augusta Opera house on Wednesday,
May 5, afternoon and evening, the
Montreal Herald had the following
to say:
"'No, No, Nanette', with its lifting
refrains, it's hilarious burlesQue, its
charming chorus and exquisite cos
tunes, but with cast mainly new,

Majesty's Theatre. At it's last visit
we had Cecil Lean and Cleo Aayfield
and Mildred Brown in the leading
roles, the latter being Nanette-this
time it is John Hyams. Helen Case
and Mary Vaughan, and they are
triple stars of the first magnitude,
whose fine work was amply appre-
ciated by last nights audience.
Leila Mcintyre as Sue Smith was
also delightful while to the most APP

while Roland Woodruff contributes
many laughs.

stands out above everything else,
with Miss Vaughan as Nanette, and
Miss Case as Lucille running him
close second.
"'Tea For Two and I Want To
Be Happy continue to be immensely
popular, bringing salvo after salvo of
applause that would not be satisfied
with one, two or three encores. The
