Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-11-30

As this is penned, or rather type
written, by the -Meddler, Mr.. sehwenk
has not received from the governor the
appointment AS judge Of probate to sue
ceed Superior Judge 4. l.. Waterman,
but he is practically certain OF getting

Few people realize, probably, what a
scramble even a comparatively humble
office like that of probate Judge can
cause. Within an hour after Judge
Waterman was elected TO his new job,
The Meddler is told, an envoy called

man successor. II happened, however
that the chief executive had been seen
in behalf of Mr.. Schwenk the day be-
fore (it being known in Montpelier
though not in Brattleboro that Judge
Waterman was sure of election by the
legislature) so the Gibson flea in the
governor s ear was not so effective as
il otherwise would have been. Mr.. Glib
son remained in the field until Satur'
day night, withdrawing at that time IN
favor of Mr.. Schwenk who had secured
an exceptionally strong petition in Brat
tlcboro and had others in circulation
in every other town in the district.

PRESIDENTS TRIBUTE TO VETERANS.
Impressive Memorial Day Exercises A..
tended BY Immense Crowd,

NORFOLK, Va, May 3O.-Never in
history OF this city did the celebration
OF Decoration day attract so enormous
a crowd of visitors from the surround.
ing districts as this year. This was
due to the fact that President Roose.
Welt had consented to deliver the Me.
mortal address at the exercises of the
army and navy union in the naval
hospital cemetery ut Tidewater, near
Norfolk.
President Roosevelt, accompanied by
Secretary Loeb and several personal
friends arrived here this morning on
board the May6ower and landed at the
pier OF the navy yard. Rear Admiral
P. F. Harrington and the members OF
his staff were there to receive the pres.
ident.
10 front of the Portsmouth court
house. which the president passed on
his way to the cemetery, a grand
stand had been erected, which was oc.
cupted by the school children of the
town. They received the president
with cheers and the waving of little
flags. The president stopped and
briefly addressed the children.
A few minutes later he continued on
his way to the cemetery, where the
union and confederate veterans of
Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berkeley
were already assembled, awaiting the
arrival of the president. A salute
was fired when the president entered
the cemetery grounds and proceeded
to the grand stand, from which he ad.
dressed the assembled veterans and
citizens. The president began his ad.
dress as follows:

DAMAGED BY FLOODS.
Washington Town Invaded BY Water and
Crops Washed Away.

SPOKANE, May 3O.-Walla Walla
city and county is experiencing one Of
the worst floods in many years. AL
der street, q of the principal bust.
ness thoroughfares, is flooded to a
depth Of several feet and half the resi-
dence streets are filled with water.
Two bridges in the city have been
washed out and three others are in
great danger. The dam OF the Walla
Walla Power company on Walla
WaDla river, fifteen miles from the
city, went out this morning, cutting
of all lights and power. Other
streams in the county are out. Wheat
and other farm produce has been
washed out in many places. A mum.
Der of bridges have also been carried
away.
City officials are preparing to dyna-
mite the Fifth.street bridge, which Of.

great damage is being done. The

places the water Is over a foot deep
and rushing madly through the city,
threatening the destruction Of some Of
the principal buildings.
RENO, New, May 30.-The most dis.
astrous food that has occurred in Ne.
vada in many years is reported from
Golconda, a small town about two
hundred miles from here. 1t was
caused by the breaking of the large
dam in Pole creek canyon, three miles
above the sheep shearing corral of the
Golden company. Five men were
drowned and several are badly iu-
jured.
When the dam broke an immense
volume of water poured down the can.
yon, carrying everything before it.
When it struck the sheep shearing
corral there was a number of men at
work, and all these were carried away
with the flood. Not a building or
fence of the Golcouda company was
left standing. The track of the South
ern Pacific railroad was undermined q
mile west of the town. and all trains
are eight to twelve hours late.

THE PICTORIAL FINS
without Them the Fish would
stand On Its Head.

StAuO Ou us heal.
The pectoral fins of a fish are the two
fins, n on each side. just back of the
head. These fins aid the fish to some
extent in swimming. They are small
oars which the fish feathers very beau
tifully and are of value chiefly to pre-
serve its equilibrium. 1t is with these
fins that the fish maintains its horizon
tai position in the water when not
swimming. Without them the fish
would stand on its head. Sometimes a
fish loses one or both of its pectoral
fins by disease or by accident. a fish
without pectoral fins is in a bad way.
While most fishes keep a horizontal
position in the water when not SWIM
ming, there are fishes that do not. One
Of these fishes is the fetish, which
when m%otionless suspends itself in the
water, head downward, at an angle of
forty-fve degrees or V e nearer the
perpendicular. A fetish kept in an
aquarium which had lost both it's pee
toral fins inclined vet backward past
the perpendicular when motionless to
about the same angle that it would
have kept in the other direction IL its
pectoral fins had been intact, so that
when not in motion it seemed to be IT,
ing at an angle on its back.
In the same aquarium there vas a
striped bass Weighing about a pound
and a half, one of whose pectoral fins
was attacked at the tip by fungus,
which gradually ~encroached upon it.
Finally the diseased portions of the fin
were cut off with a pair Of sharp shears.
the cut being made within the sound
part of the fin. At first the fish was
like a man in a boat pulling n long
oar and II short one-it couldn't hold
a course. But it soon accustomed it.
self to its new condition, and there
after 1t got along very comfortably.

SWISS EDUCATION.
A Serious Matter, Guarded Jeal0usly
by the State.

by the State.
One reason why the Swiss fare we'll
is that their public school system is
probably the best in the world, and
with them public school education is
practically compulsory. You can send
your child to a private school Tin some
cantons) If you insist upon SO doing,
but the face Of the government and the
force Of public opinion are sternly
against the practice. In the canton Of
Solothurn private schools are absolute
~ forbidden. In other cantons a pri-
vate school pupil must secure a formal
permit from the local authorities, and
in some cantons he must pay a charge
to the public funds. The idea Is that
the public schools are good enough for
all; that rich and poor are to meet
there on yer terms; that the public
school is the nursery Of democracy and
patriotism; above all. that democracy
is the lifeblood and strength and very
soul Of the republic. and the republic Is
Switzerland, and without the republic
Switzerland" Is nothing. Private schools
for Swiss children are few in number,
and such as exist are under the strict
supervision of the state. Education is
a serious matter in Switzerland. There
Is no escape from it. A parent must
send his children to school or go him
self to Jail. They kept a Seventh Day
Adventist in Jail for two years because
he refused to let his child attend school
on SATURDAYS. As It then seemed likely
he would spend the rest OF his life In a
cell he MISUNDERSTANDING Mag
