    "verified_text": "calais, a city and sub-port of entry of washington county, maine, u.s.a., on the saint croix river, 12 m. from its mouth, opposite saint stephens, new brunswick, with which it is connected by bridges. pop. (1890) 7290;(1900) 7655 (1908 being foreign-born); (1910) 6116. it is served by the washington county railway (102.5 m. to washington junction, where it connects with the maine central railway), and by steamboat lines to boston, portland and saint johns. in the city limits are the post-offices of calais, milltown and red beach. the city has a small public library. the valley here is wide and deep, the banks of the river bold and picturesque, and the tide rises and falls about 25 ft. the city has important interests in lumber, besides foundries, machine shops, granite works--there are several granite (notably red granite) quarries in the vicinity--a tannery, and manufactories of shoes and calcined plaster. big island, now in the city of calais, was visited in the winter of 1604-1605 by pierre du guast, sieur de monts. calais was first settled in 1779, was incorporated as a town in 1809, and was chartered as a city in 1851. calais and zetes (the boreadae), in greek mythology, the winged twin sons of boreas and oreithyia. on their arrival with the argonauts at salmydessus in thrace, they liberated their sister cleopatra, who had been thrown into prison with her two sons by her husband phineus, the king of the country (sophocles, _antigone_, 966; diod. sic. iv. 44). according to another story, they delivered phineus from the harpies (_q.v._), in pursuit of whom they perished (apollodorus i. 9; iii. 15). others say that they were slain by heracles near the island of tenos, in consequence of a quarrel with tiphys, the pilot of the argonauts, or because they refused to wait during the search for hylas, the favourite of heracles (hyginus, _fab._, 14. 273; schol. on apollonius rhodius i. 1304). they were changed by the gods into winds, and the pillars over their tombs in tenos were said to wave whenever the wind blew from the north. like the harpies, calais and zetes are obvious personifications of winds. legend attributed the foundation of cales in campania to calais (silius italicus viii. 512).",
