Mrs. John Emerson of Saco,
claims to own the Oldest upright
piano in Maine. She says it is the
first one ever bought or brought this
side RnCtnn iS old do TO
of it's manufacture cannot be told.
She has owned the piano for a num-
| Der of years and it has been in con-
tinual use until a year or so ago.
And even now with minor repairs
and tuning it is very musical. The
piano was originally bought for an
old-time sea captain, being especially
made for his wife to take with her
on a sea voyage. For many years
1t was in her cabin on her husbands
large sailing vessel and circled the
globe. After several years he re-
tired and the piano was sold to a
Saco man. At his death it came into
possession of Mrs. Emerson. The
case is of queer design, but beautiful
and artistic.

structed or followed from a cedar
tree Is in the hands of Fremont
Rowe at his antique store at Bath.
This boat, peculiar as it looks, is not
unlike a small dory such as the
fishermen on the Maine coast use.
The extraordinary part of the cedar
craft lies in the fact 1t Is over 100
years old and was brought to this
