Examined by Officials.

The skeleton of human body was
unearthed about S o'clock Monday morn
ing on the site of the old Snowflake
canning factory on Vernon street by
Warren May. an employe of the Pres
breyLeland company. which is starting
the foundati ton work for its new granite
cutting plant here. The skeleton was
found about so feet from the rivers
edge and about one foot under the sur
face. 1t was living on its right side
with the knees drawn up.
Nothing was found but the bones and
from its appearance the skeleton had
probably been buried over 80 years. The
teeth were remarkably we'll preserved
but the rest was so badly decomposed
that there was nothing that would assist
in an Identification.
Selectman W. f.. Stellman and Officer
W. Il. Tyler went down to the site that
morning at 10 o'clock and looked at
the bones, which had been placed in a
box. States Attorney Harold e. Whit
ney also was present The box was
taken to the Stellman machine shop,
where an effort will be made to deter
mine how old the skeleton is. and
whether it is the remains of white man
or no..

Wilmington people are facing an
other emergency in the possible loss of
the Mountain Mills pulp industry, owned
by the New England Power Co., on ae-
count of the building of the big dam at
Nottingham. The pulp mill will be
flooded out by the pond created by the

whether it shall be located on higher
ground in Wilmington or the business
moved to Monroe Bridge, Mass, to be
operated in conjunction with paper
making machinery which the company is
installing there. IF the town will vote
to exempt the Mountain Mills property
from taxation for 10 years the company
is inclined to relocate the mill in VIII

President Henry l. Hartman of the
Power Co has given definite assurance
that it would be kept in Wilmington

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR re.


OF course everybody knows the
principles of wireless telephony have
been with US since time began. We
just didn't get round to using thesu.
We were too busy chasing dollars. Now
instead of hollerin' Hello Central"
we say Hello China" and nobodf
thinks anything about it. So we car
all go to sleep again for another SO
years, and once more let George do
it. Isn't it funny? Every one of us
is a George, and right within our
selves for possibilities greater than
all the wireless telephones in the
world, characteristics hidden away
that we don't know exists, resources
we never develop. Of course were
going to be driven to do better.
SO we might as we'll get a move on
and escape the punishment. We
wouldn't have any steam heat or
houses today if the rain and the wind
hadn't beaten little activity into
us. Best thing we can do it seems
would be to avoid licking if we can,
and dig up some of our possibilities.
