whom has resided in Spa for several years. The
principal streets of the town were gay with flags,
tlie "Stars and Stripes" being, of eourse, well to
the fore, and in the evening the park was brill-
iantly illuminated, the word "Amerique" show-
ing up well at the far end of the AII6e de Sept
Heures, opposite the main entrance. The ordi-
nary Wednesday night's classical concert was sup-
plemented by some songs, which were rendered
with much taste and feeling by Mile. Gabrielle
VVybauw. Both at the commencement and at the
conclusion of the concert, the American national
airs were played, during which the whole of the
large audience stood. After the concert Mr.
Phelps Koop presented handsome bouquets to
Mme. A. Peltzer, wife of the burgomaster, and to
Mme. Le Maire De Warzee, whose husband is
Directeur des Fetes.
The following is the text of a telegram which
was sent to President Roosevelt on Wednesday
morning: "The town of Spa and the American
colony are celebrating the glorious Fourth, and join
in sending you their respectful greetings on this
auspicious occasion.
Auguste Peltzer, Burgomaster ; Godfrey Phelps
Koop; Eugene Jackson Koop, — members 'Sons
American Revolution.' "
Mr. and Mrs. S. P. liolton, Mr. J. M. Holton
and H. C. Holton of Philadelphia returned to the
Poland Spring House on July 27th.
One of the busiest places on Ricker Hill, the
past week, has been the Notinan Photograph
Company's Studio here. It behooves one to make
their appointments early, for the appreciation of
their class of work is universal. The photographs
taken of one's friends give the best test' and if you
have friends, some of them must have sat for these
successful operators. Not to have done so, is to
have let a good opportunity slip by.

Editorial
FOLLOWING upon the great disa,ster that over-
whelmed the city of San Francisco came the
(liiery as to the probable effect upon the Pacific
coast in general, of this great calamity.
The fact that a Are sweeps a city completely
from the surface of the earth does not injure its
prospects for the future, in fact in most instances
the city is rebuilt far better than before, hence its
one great loss does not become a permanent one,
but ratiier a blessing in disguise.
Even a tidal wave, as the result of a great storm
may l'^' guai-iKMl against by the erection of sea
walls, l)ut till' reciirreiicc of earthquakes is beyond
the power of man to pn'vcnl.
However, thcrr is a way to prevent the whole-
sale ruin that the lecent one there brought about.
There were buildings there of modern con-
struction that proved proof against the power for
destruction displayed by the eartlKpiake.
Hereafter it is more than ))robable tlial conslruc-
tiiin of buildings on the coast will lie eartluiuake
J) roof.
Why the entire Pacific coast should suffer as a
result of San Francisco's disaster, thinking men
fail to see. The "fault" as science terms the seam
opened in the earth, extends almost exactly in a
straight line northwest and southeast for about
two hundred and fifty miles, in some places the
east side being raised four feet above the u-est, and
again it is the reverse.
This straight line indicates probably the weakest
place in the earth's crust on the coast, and it has
but re-adjusted itself to a new and firmer, and
more permanent position.
Far south of its southern terminus, is a range of
tremendous mountains of practically solid rock,
that extend across the south central portion of the
state, and to the sea, in fact far out into it.
Below these mountains is almost another country,
and of different composition.
Southern California possesses a climate unequaled
in the United States, and when the cold, and the
snow of our eastern winters comes, where shall we
turn for a mild climate in our own land, if not to
California or Florida?
The latter state, as is well known, is exceedingly
low and flat. A tidal wave twenty feet in height,
would sweep the entire peninsular, while Southern
California affords any desired altitude, practically.
No, Southern California already begins to see
that it is not only not to be a sufferer, but a gainer
by the sad misfortune that has overtaken the
metropolis of the State.
For some years now, eastern people will visit
Los Angeles and the neighboring cities, more even
than formerly, and gradually the tide of travel will
increase again to San Francisco as formerly, but
without diminishing in the least to tlic snulhern
part of the state.
The northwest coast will benefit largely at once,
and will probably never lose what it gains now.
The coast resorts for tlie Southern California
inland cities, should continue to prosper, as tliciv
is a very restricted beach line wilhin easy reach,
and furlhcrniore there is no sane reason wliv Ihcv
should not.

THE SCHUBERTS
On Tuesday, August 7th, an entertainment of
exceptional excellence will be given at the Poland
Spring House, and on Thursday the 9th at the
Samoset. The occasion will be the appearance of
the Schubert Male Quartette composed of Robert
Martin, Charles W. Swaine, William W. Walker
and Dr. Geo. R. Clark.
It is said that no other quartette before the
public today can excel them in individual excellence
as soloists, and as an organization Wilhelm Ger-
icke, formerly leader of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, said he had never heard a better combi-
nation of male voices.
The Boston Herald also said :
"The Schubert Quartette gave some capital
vocal numbers, giving the audience a hearing of
some choice music of the lighter class by artists of
eminent ability."
Their program for Tuesday evening given with
the assistance of the Kuntz Orchestral Club,
will be :
1 (Quartette — "( >ii the Sea" Buck
The Schuberts
2 Orchestra
3 Baritone .Solos —

Mr. .Swaine
7 Quartette — (Vocal Waltz) (Gay Hearts)

This program will be repeated at The Samoset
on Thursday, with the exception of No. .'3 which
will be a tenor solo, "Before the Dawn," by
Chadwick.
Mr. Walker will be remembered as having been
one of the Symphony Orchestra soloists.
The morning hours at the Mansion House on
Wednesday were varied by a group of ladies with
their embroidery and fancy work gathering in the
parlors for the space between mail time and music
to share with Mrs. Edward C. Jordan of Portland
some literary tid-bits. "The Dobleys," Hibernian
and French sketches with a little poetry to give
color to the selections made up the program and
called forth very cordial and hearty responses and
appreciation.

The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the plain.

Has supper, milks, then reads the Man From Maine.
A black yew gloomed the stagnant air ;
