One of uur smaller naval vessels is now in the hospital with a hole punched by a sub marine, and the other day Glenn Curtiss, while sailing in an aeroplane, tossed orauges down on the deck of a ship, just to show how easy it would be to drop dynamite in the same way. With sub marines below, and aeroplanes above, life on a battleship mar shore could appar ently be made a precarious pastime. Smoking is to cost more under the new internal revenue tax, they say.

The Democratic State Committe has organized by tbe choice of Fred Emery Bern of Hallo well as chairman; W. F. Curran of Bangor secretary; and Oscar R. Wish of Portland treasurer. Tbe youngest spellbinder on the stump so far is Leo Hunter of Freeport, the 12-yeir-old son of Robert V. Hunter of that town, the Socialist candidate for governor. The vourh addressed a meet ing iu Freeport the other evening. The chairman of the Democratic city committee in Portland has rescued, not because he has ceased to be a Democrat, but because he does not like the way things are run in the party. The tra ditional Democratic brand of harmony is also in evidence in the Democratic stronghold of Knox County, as well as in other parts of the state. For some reason service in tbe legis lature does not seem to have the at tractiveness this year with which it is generally credited. Λ number of can didates who have been oomiuated have declined to accept or have resigned as candidates after acceptance. In South Portlaud both the Republican and the Democratic candidate have resigned. The long list of those who are desert ing tne Republican party and going over to tbe Democratic party does not exist entirely in editorial imaginations in Democratic sanctums. Not by auy means. There is certainly such a man. He is a "prominent Republican" in Bid deford, that home of unique and incom prehensible politics, and be gives out a statement to the public. This statement of bis is a very high-toned (!) production, and indicates that his toes must be awful ly sore for some reason. Sarah Ε. Cummlngs. Sarah Ε.

The tiret sentence in our note bunk reads for tbis week, rain wanted; aud that wax true when written; but several showers have passed over since then of different magnitudes, the one last Sun day evening transcending all the rest and will long be remembered as a first cla*s tempest; and especially by Mies Mary Ε Brooke, formerly of this neigh borho d, but uow of Woodstock, who came very near being fatally injured by one of its fiery bolts. To state it in a nutshell, if all the planets in our solar system, from Mer cury to Xeptune, had concentrated their twelve inch guns a few hundred feet arouud and over head, and then dis charged them all in rapid succession for three hours, the result must have been similar; providing the rain poured at the same time. Charles Λ Dunham, with hie wife and two little b<>ys, visited here that day and started for home, at South Bethel, just in time to get a good wetting up—or down. Sut-b, brietiy noticed, was the tempest that passed over here oo the evening of July 10, 1910 Perhaps some might be interested to learn that Mrs. E. L. Dunham wae 31 years of age on that day. and also that Mrs. L. Dunham was 79 two days pre vious. Elmer C'ole was seriously injured and made totally blind two years ago last June, since which time he has buffered much from bis diseased eyes aud bead, so that the doctors finally assured him that the only way to get permanent bene fit, was to have his eves removed. At last, convinced that ever to see again was impossible, he went to the Portland hospital last week with his brother-in law, Rawson Martin, and submitted to the ordeal. Have heard nothing of the result, but will report it later. It seems hardly reasonable to suppose that any kind of vegetation or minerals are endowed with a certain degree of in telligence; and yet it seems, sometimes, as if such is really the fact, especially the former, since ancient writers tell about the trees getting together to choose a king, and that if a certain thing should happen the stones would cry out. But all of that is figurative, you say, and so do I. Mow let me tell you not only a literal but true incident. Last spring I set two poles for my hill of bops, one some 15 feet in length and the other eight or ten feet longer; as the priucipal vine took to the shortest pole it reached the top in due time, and then was watched with much interest to see what it would do for support. Not in the least confused It continued to grow, steadily leaning toward the longer pole, on reaching which, a little less than a foot distant, it intwined around it and kept growing just as if nothing had happened. Say, what caused the vine to lean toward the other pole instead the opposite direction? An answer is now in order. Je*si« I Murray has returned from a Mix weeks' visit at her home in York Mill*, Ν.

Up the drive of a certain manoi bouse situated la one of the aoatbweal counties of England a phantom coacb with spectral borsea and drives. la al ways heard or seen prior to the death of the bead of the family or of aome Important member of It On one occasion of quite recent years α number of gentlemen and two ladles who formed a portion of the house party at Christmas were startled on tbelr return at dusk to bear the sounds uf several horses' hoofs coming up the drive. Upon turning, all the party saw an old fashioned coacb with a team of four white horses advancing toward tbiMU. Tbey drew aside, and tis the coacb passed tbem the two ladies screamed and fell almost faint ing lu the arms of tbelr companions. One was the daughter of the bouse. All retired to rest about 11 o'clock, some, uo doubt, to think over the mys terious nppeurance of the coach and others to sleep. Early In the morn ing α telegram, which bad been dis patched too late the previous night for delivery, came to band, conveying the intelligence that the only son of the house had been drowned while wild fowling in the fena. It was uearly forty years before that the coacb had last been seen, although seventeen years previously It hud been heard to drive up to the front door and awuy again down the avenue iu the middle of the night On this oc casion the head of the family bad died iu bis sleep the next night THE FATA MORGANA. Conditions That Must Obtain to AI* low of Its Production. ■ The fata morgana Is a singular aerial pbouomeuon akin to the mirage. It Is seeu in many parts of the world, but most frequently and in greatest per fection at the strait of Messina, be tween Sicily and Italy. So many con ditions must coincide, however, that even there it is of comparatively «re occurrence. To ullow of its production the sun must be at an angle of fort)· live degrees witb the water, both sky and sea must be calm and the tidal current sufficiently strong to cause the water In the center to rise higher than on the edges of the strait. When these conditions are fully met the ob server ou the be&hta of Calabria, look ing toward Messina, will behold a series of rapidly changing pictures, sometimes of most exquisite beauty. Castles, colonnades, successions of beautiful arches, palaces, cities, with bouses and streets and church domes, mouutuius. forests, grottoes, will ap pear aud vanish, to be succeeded per haps by t'.cets of ships, sometimes placidly sailing over tbe deep, some times Inverted, while a halo like a rainbow surrounds every Image. It is supposed that the Images are due to the irregular refractive powers of the dlQ'ereut layers of ulr above tbe sea, which magnify, repeat aud distort the objects ou the Sicilian shore beyond, but to the Italians these singular ap pearances are the castles of tbe Prin cess Morgana, aud the view of them Is supposed to bring good fortune to the beholder.

Put It Ail on Exhibition to Make a Good Impression. The Norwegians are always trying to put the best foot forward, and they do it in reference to marriage as well as in reference to other matters. It is said that a young man once went out to seek a wife and came to a farmhouse where there was more wit than money. The only thing of which the farmer could boast was one new sleeve to bis coat. This must be made the most of. "Pray take a seat," he said hospitably. "But this room le shockingly dusty," and, so saying, he went about wiping tables and benches with bis new sleeve, while he kept the old one behind him. Ills wife possessed one new shoe and one only, but she made the most of It by pushing the furniture In place with it and keeping the other hidden beneath her skirts. "It is very untidy here," she said. "Everything is out of place." Then they called to the daughter to come and put things to rights. But the ouly new thing she possessed was a cap. So she kept putting her head in at the door and uoddlng and nod ding. "For my part," she said, "I can't be everywhere at once." Thus they all tried to make the young man believe that the household was well to do.—Detroit Free Press. He 8ees Double.
