A serious menace to health is
threatened at Nahant by the large
quantity Of fish which have been
thrown UP on the beaches and rocks
following, 1t is believed, the appear
ance of porpoises and large fish, sup.
posed to be whales.
Although the fishermen gather them
as fast as the tide recedec, many are
overlooked. 1t is the Opiuion of the
natives that the fish, which include
mackerel, hake, pollock and herring,
all small in size, have been forced
ashore by the larger fish, which have
invaded the waters recently.--Boston

Wallace and Mrs, Hemans.

In connection with the movement
FOR concentrating the birthplace of
Sir William Wallace, it is interesting
to recall the fact that perhaps the best
poem on Scotland's hero was written
by an Englishwoman. In 1919 a patri.
otto Scotsman offered prize of ESQ
for the best poem on the subject of
the illustrious patriot inviting Bruce
to the Scottish throne. The prize
was awarded to Felicia Hemans,
whose star was then slowly rising in
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS News.

At the ripe old age of 76 years, 3 mon
tbs and IL days, John Busee has passed
from the strifes of mortal life to the
everlasting peace and rest of the immort-
al. Mr.. Busse had been failing in
health for some time. but no immediate
fears were entertained. During the
winter he has made his home with his
daughter, Mrs. John Glandt. that he
might receive the care and attention of
loving hands and up to the last was
bright and cheerful, ever helpful, never
complaining. At lilo q. M, Monday,
after restless night, the light of life
that had burned SO brightly, suddenly
went out t. resume It's radiance in the
great beyond. That venerable figure so
familiar to us all will be greatly missed
and the friendly greeting and smile
which was ever his to give has ceased to
be part of our daily routine.
