DESTRUCTIVE TORNADOES NOT
NEW

Many people believe that cyclones are
more numerous now and more destruc-
tive than they were years ago. Some
scientists hold to this theory, and have
tried to account for it. The destruction
of the forests has been assigned as a
cause, while other wise men attribute
the storms to the railroad and telegraph
lines, which form a network over the
country and which may, they say, have
some effect on electrical phenomena.
The chances are that cyclones and tor
nadOes are not more numerous now than
they have previously been. There are
more people in the cyclone belt now and
more towns to be destroyed, and the
facilities for gathering and publishing
the news are better than ever before.
To this last may perhaps be attributed
the belief that tOrnadoes are more nu-
merous.
Certainly more people learn of the de-
struction of town by storm or by
any other cause now than ever before
In the history OF the world.
Tornadoes have long been a feature of
level countries, whether prairie or tim
bered. Throughout Indiana, Ohio,
Wisconsin and Michigan are what were
known to the early settlers as "wind-
falls" In the midst of an unbroken
forest would be found narrow swath
,har ha
This marked the course of tornado that
may have scared few Indians and wild
animals, but which did little dana &c,
because there was nothing to be dam
aged.
The earliest tornado which visited
civilized North America occurred in
l76l. For two hours on the afternoon
of May ? in that year South Carolina
entertained a tornado which did much
damage and killed several people, but a
full history of it cannot be obtained.
In the spring of 1910 a tornado visited
Natchez, Miss, killing 2l7 people, wound
ing as many more and sinking a number
of vessels in the river. The storm lasted
exactly four minutes, and while awful
in its character had become ancient
history with those who passed through
it before residents of neighboring States
knew that 1t had occurred.
Lightning may not strike twice in the
same place. Some one has said that "It
doesn't need to-" The same observation

the members of Post Russell had par
ticipsted. The speaker expressed the
hope belief that civilization had reached
a point where all wars would soon be
forever done away with, and closed by
reading the beautiful and touching poem,
entitled 1.-THE Blue and the Gray" lie
was given hearty applause as he con-
cluded.
After another selection by the quar-
tet, thirteen-year old Mamie Larock of
Middlebury came forward and gave
prose recitation, entitled "Decoration
Day." which was rendered so finely for
one so young as to excite the surprise
and admiration of the large audience,
who rewarded her with the most spon-
taneous, enthusiastic and long-continued
applause of the day.
More music followed, and the exer-
cises in the hall were then brought to
conclusion with the benediction by
President Brainerd.
The procession at once formed on South
Pleasant street, with the right resting on
Washington street, and the line of
march to the cemeteries was taken up
ia the following order; l, Marshal f.
p. Williamson and Chief of Police
William NJ. Cushman. 2. The Middle
bury Cornet band, joseph b. Cobb,
leader. 3. Lake Dunmore Lodge, No.
m, l. o. o. F., William Latimer and
William Duncan, guards. t. The Bat
tell Hose company, Mark Bissett, fore
man. >. Camp A. 5. Tracy, No. 20,
Sons of Veterans, Charles F. Rich, COM
mander. 6. William p. Russell Post,
No. 50, G. A. r., Walter w. Martin,
commander. Z. Carriages containing
the orator of the day and the clergy, and
carriages containing the members of the
Ladies' Aid Society, with the flowers.
8. The teachers and scholars of the
graded school. 8. Citizens in carriages
and citizens on foot. 1t was one of the
longest and best appearing professions
seen in Middlebury on Memorial day in
many years.
Arrived in the West cemetery, the post
formed in a hollow square around the
mound dedicated to the memory of the
unknown dead and the ritual of the
Grand Army set apart for such occas-
ions was gone through with under the
direction of Commander Martin, assisted
by Chaplain II. c. Langworthy and
Officer of the Day Otis Abbey. The band
played a dirge and the benediction was
given by Rev. d. W. Lyman, in place of
Rev. j. G. Goodlng, who was to have
officiated, but was out of town. The
graves of the soldier dead were then
strewn with beautiful flowers by the
members of the post, while committee
of the post consisting of Comrades James
Haley, Patrick Mulligan and Joseph
Larock performed a similar grateful
service in the Catholic cemetery adoin-
ing. AT the conclusion of the work of
decorating the graves the procession re-
formed and returned to the village,
where soon after > o'clock it was dis
banded and the exercises of the day
were at an end.
On the whole it was one of the best
managed and most satisfactory Obser-
vances of the day witnessed IN Middle
bury for several years, and all who were
actively concerned in the arrangement
and execution of the programme of ex-
ercises have ample reason to congratu-
late themselves upon the success which
was attained through their efforts.

A Kentucky Senator Who Has Long Pre-
vented an Election, Has Died-No Ballot
Taken Yesterday.
Frankfort, KY, March 9.-Senator
Weissinger, whose death occurred to-
day, played a more prominent part in
the Senatorial contest than any other
member of the general assembly. But
for Weissinger, the election of Hunter
or Blackburn would have occurred
weeks ago and neither the Republicans
nor the Democrats will deny this.
His death gives the Democrats ma
jority on joint ballot and but for the
division in their ranks, an election
would be possible.
Republican activity seems directed
solely to the prevention of the election
Of Blackburn, and 1t was given out in
this connection that if it came TO a
contest between Blackburn and Car
Isle, the Republicans would vote for
Carlisle.
Long before noon, standing room in
the Hobbies and galleries was at a prem
ium AID the excitement was intense.
When the assembly met it had been
mutually agreed that no attempt would
be made to elect United States Sen
