The Blow a Train Can Strike.

The force of the blow struck by a
modern train going at high speed is
greater than that of the shot from
modern gun. At least such is the state
ment OF a scientist who has been look
ing into this question. He estimates
that modern passenger train will
weigh about 400 tons and that 1t
moves at velocity of seventy to sew.
enty-five miles an hour, or about 100
feet second. A mass of 400 tons pro-
PEELED at this velocity will strike
blow twice as great as that delivered
by a 1000 pound shot fired from 100
ton cannon This, he states, accounts
for the tremendous destruction caused
by collisions.-New York Press.

There are centenarians.

There are quite few centenarians
in the United States, the u >.
Census Bureau TO the contrary not
withstanding. A man wrote the bur
eau regarding this and receiving no
reply discredited such statements
and cynically demanded proof that
there were any person living over
hundred years old. The Boston Post
took up the matter and found that
there were at least eight persons liv-
ing in New England that were over
100 years old. Four of this number
are 101 and the others are 1O2, 1O3,
and 107.
All are enjoying good health and Of
the eight three of them are Vermont
ers, namely: Mrs. Sarah Robe Will
son, of Corinth, aged 101; Rev. S. w.
Bidwell of Middlebury, aged 1O4 and
Mrs. Catherine Bassett Fisher, born
in Eden, but now living in Massachus
etts, aged 101. In speaking OF Mrs.
Fisher. the New York Sun says:
Lots of sleep and plenty of hearty
food have been my rule through life,
and to them / attribute the ripe age
have reached says Mrs. Catherine
Bassett Fisher, daughter of Massa
and Catherine Bassett, born January
2, 1912, at Eden, Vermont. Her pow
ers of observation developed early,
for though only two years old at that
time she distinctly heard the firing
in the battle of Plattsburg. In 1888
she went to work in the mills in Wal
pole and five years later she married
Lewis Fisher. Since 1888 she has
lived in the house she now occupies,
and from 1t she sent three sons to
the Civil War. In the face of this,
shall we question too closely her
"reminiscences of Plattsburg?"
The names of the others not men
toned above are Lucy w. Reyes,
Brighton, Mass, aged 101; Mrs. Ell
vira Gannett, Scituate, Mass, aged
1922 r. X. Powers, Lancaster, Mass,
aged 1903; Louist Carpenter Worces-
ter Mass, aged 104; and Mrs. Mary
Hodkdon, Wenham, Mass, aged 101.
All of these long lived worthless
have the public records of the towns
of his or her birth to back up the
claim.
Like in many other good things
"Spunky Iamoille" has a part in this
list of worthy centenarians and is
justly proud of the fact that Mrs.
Fisher is one of her daughters. We
might add that she is an aunt of the
late w. G. Bassett and a great aunt

Brattleboro's tax list last year
amounted to approximately $780,
900. In addition to this there were
Offsets to the amount, of about $1,000,
900. If this years list reaches a
total close to $7,5O0,000 then it will
be possible to bring about such a re-
duction Of the tax rate that the gen
eral burden will be no greater than
it is at present, and we shall have
taken a long step toward solving the
taxation problem. If not the injus-
tice will be far greater than it has
been in the past.-Brattlebor Re

Do not be too independent. Re-

imagines he can do without the
world makes a great mistake, and
remember also that he who imagines
that the world cannot do without
him is under much greater de-
