H. F. Keith of Mount Washington,
Berkshire county, Mass, made JUS n
call on Wednesday, in search of infor-
nation. He had seen in library in
Boston the early Records of Thompson
and Killingly prepared by Miss T.. d.
Larned, and printed in the PATRIOT,
but didn't find what he wanted, and
hoped to find other records that we
printed. But all of the papers of that
character, prepared by Miss Larned,
which We printed, were supplied the
Boston Library for reference. What
Mr. Keith wished particularly TO learn
was the Christian name of the father
of Abigail Newell, born in 1892, who
married John Fisher, in this section.

the silent "Chataueua Salute" And

dreds who had not already met him,
gave him and also Mrs. Sargent, hand
shake and a glad welcome at their re-
turn.
Early in March Horace Johnson,
who claims to be a weather prophet,
predicted that ''from the 18th 10 the
I'D of the present month there will be
a ye4y general disturbance of the at
mosphere, probably TO be felt on the
two continents. 1t will be OF great
force and will be accompanied by a
tidal wave He is further away from
the facts than was the Director Of the
Weather Bureau on the 4th of March,
who assured President Taft that on his
Inaugural day the weather would be
fine, but turned out to be the worst
weather in months. "Uncle Horace
made great sport of the Director OF the
Weather Bureau, as did also some of
the NEWSPAPERS of the State, for his Sc
rious mistake. But he makes his pre-
dictions on scientific grounds, while
Uncle Horace simply guesses, and once
in a while comes near TO his prophecy.
Only people who believe in fortune
tellers or necromancer confide in the
weather prophesies of such people as
Johnson-and they have existed as far
back as history goes.
