Scituate Town Council.

If any person attended the meeting OF
the Scituate Town Council on Thursday
with the idea that something Of specta-
cular nature might happen, he was much
disappointed. The session was very ordin-
airy, that is the part that the public listened
to, the rest was held in executive session
behind closed doors. The council
assembled at O'Clock and remained IN
consultation with itself until about 3
O'Clock, when the public session was re-
sumed aud several matters of probate
were dispensed with and quite number
of bills audited and ordered paid. The
item OF largest interest was the receipt OF
a petition from the school committee, ask
ing that ga special financial town meeting
be called at the earliest possible time to
order a special tax for meeting The several
appropriations for schools made at the
last financial town meeting" The petition
was signed by @. a. Capwell, Eugene l.
Young and Henry III. Potter, members OF
the school committee. 1t was understood
that the petition was the subject OF the
lengthy discussion OF the council in its
secret session. II was finally decided
that the matter be left for future consider
alton. Tax Assessor Ferdinand Allen, on
the request OF ouncilman Frank Brown,
was asked to give his opinion on the sub
ject, and it was in opposition to special
town meeting at the present time. Mr.
Allen thought an effort should be made to
collect the balance OF the tax for 1912
Daniel II. Remington suggested that the
uncollected taxes for the past ten years
amounting TO something like $4,000, II
collected, wonld relieve the present strain
on the Town Treasury Town Treasurer
Charles Capwell who was present at the
meeting, told the council that he had col.
lected about $40, 900 Of the taxes for 1919
and that abont $f3, 900 remained unpaid.
He also said the town owed accounts to
the amount of about $4,000 1t was
understood that The treasurer had used
money collected for taxes in paying town
notes, hence the present shortage OF
funds

QUEER BURIAL SERVICE.
How Adaman Islanders Protect Thsir
Dead From Evil Spirits.

Dead From Evil Spirits.
Strange Is the burial service among
the Adaman islanders, IL Is the Gus
tom OF the ISLANDERS to drop the bodies
OF their parents into the sea at the end
OF ropes and leave them there until
nothing remains but the bones, which
they then gather and hang from the
roofs Of their huts.
1t Is a common custom for a relative
10 sit by the hour and watch the bones
Of some relative. This is the way they
have OF showing their love and respect.
The bodies are treated i'm this fash.
ion so that the evil spirits cannot tease
and pinch them. All that is left are
the dried bones. and these are placed
high so that If the evil spirits wander
into the huts they will have a hard
time TO fnd them. lf bone IL carried
away 1t means some bad spirit has
seized It, and this means that some
terrible calamity will befall the fam
lily.
