rpHE talc of the Lorelei Is being re---
pcated, visually at least, on the red
rocks near Otter Cliffs at Bar Harbor,
where Annotto Kellermann nnd her mer
maid troupo dally disport themselves for
tho benefit of a movie thriller which will
probably be produced next winter. Cer
tainly it is supplying summer residents
at Bar Harbor with amusement, for every
afternoon tho weather permits the narrow
road topping tho cliffs is strung for n
mllo In length with motors, and here tho
occupants .sit for hours at a time watch
ing the troupo dive off tho rocks Into tho
Icy water. And they emergo blue nnd
shivering, I can tell you! Several times
tlio spectators have been furnished with
real thrills when the girls, hampered by
their talis, have had to be rescued by life
guards. Tlieso real near-tragedies throw
tho onlookers into a wild state of excite
ment, you may imagine.
THROM all accounts, young Cap Town-
send Is having a hard time to get

act in this capacity. Townsend'a wed
ding to Agnes Kennedy in Ardmoro next
Saturday Is heralded as being very quiet,
although so are most weddings in theso
times, nnd my experience has provod that
tho term is a very flexible one; so here's
hoping! NANCY WYNNE.

eUy,to,Malaa. ,
i r
his Job, the fact remains that the last forty
days havo not produced the dally deluge
that was promised by tho knowing ones
when a trace of rain fell on July 15, the
venerable Saint's very ovrn day.
Thoso who prophesied that nature would
Impersonate Niobn for a run of forty days
placed too much faith in the old tradition
expressed In tho following more or less
free verse:
St. Swlthln's Das-, If thou dost rain,
For forty dnys It will rcmslni
.St. fiwllhln, Day. If thou b fair,
For forty ilaya 'twill rnln nae molr.
Tho saint's probation period ended last
night. Examination of tho records of the
local weather bureau showed that rain had
fallen on only fourteen of the forty days
It may be the saint hns permanently retired
from the supervision of the weather, for his
batting average last year was nlmost as
bad. Then it rained on ccventecn days of
the forty.
