Tbe printed voting lists of tbe town of Pari· contain tbe names of 1140 men and 944 women, considerably more tban 2000 voters.

Hardly anything could be more signifi cant in connection with newspaper work than the statement that on the occasion of the funeral of Eiitor George W. Nor ton of the Portland Evening Express, all work was suspended In tbe Express es tablishment for a period of three min ute·. Men may come and men may go, but the newspaper goes on forever. There will doubtless be dlfferenoe of opinion as to whether Terence McSwiney was a martyr, or whether he forwarded the cause of Iceland wueu he ataïved himself to death in jail. But thesulemn discussion as to whether he oommitted suicide is one of tbe things which indi cate that the race is as yet in its intel lectual infancy. In tbe report of a budget hearing by tbe Maine committee a few days since, it is stated in tbe papers that tbe fiscal year "will herealter end on June 30 of each year." It it very intereailng to tbe members-elect of the legislature to get advance information of this kind as to what they are going to do at tbe session this winter. The opinion Is expressed by some who have appeared to be in sympathy with tbe method, that the "hunger strike" baa been destroyed as a weapon of pro test. If so, tbe death of Mayor McSwiney and his compatriots will not be entirely without good result, whatever other ef fect it may bave. Hunters and fishermen in Mtine are saying that the "signs" indicate a mild winter, but those signs won't help a bit toward warming fhe bouse when the thermometer gets down below aero and stay· there. A Digger Indian who claimed 138 years of life set bis clothing afire a few days ago and was burned to death, at Bakers field, Calif. It ia noticeable that all these people who are supposed to be much past a hundred years of age have to rest their claim upon mere tradition at the beat, and have no dependable evi dence as to the number of years they have lived.

The obairman of tbe board ' of registration in Old Town ha· been 1 called apon by a member of tbe Penob- a •cot tribe, to know If the women of tbe 1 tribe were entitled to vote at their tribal election, which la held on tbe day of the presidential election.

Tbe death by accident of Lewie B. h June·, bridge engineer of the Maine oi Highway Commiaaion, has delayed the reoaatlng of the plana and apeciflcatlona ai for tbe Klttery-Portamouth bridge. For thia bridge the atatee of Maine tod New Hampahire and the United States gov* ernment have appropriated half a mil lion dollara each. When the bide were opened In September, It was found that fx, the lowsat bid waa over 11,700.000, or ψ\ more than 9200,000 above the total of the appropriationa. It ia hoped that |T| notwlthatanding the setback, the con- eD tract may eoonoe completed. The aite tr of the bridge is a very diffloolt plaoe for bntiding, the two pier· having to be (a placed in aeventy-flve feet of water, and there ia a long fill at one end of the 0h bridge.

Well, of course, under tbe oiroum stances, there jast had to be a lot of waste, but tbe party that done the spendln' is still in offioe.
