Norns in Mythology
WoUe Fabric of Fate

Norns were the fates of Scandlna-
Wan mythology. They were three
young women, by name Urth. Yer
dandt and Skuld-past. present and
future. They sat by the we'll of Ur-
darbrunnr under the ash tree Yggdra-
sil, and there determined the fate of
gSds and men. Every day they drew
water from a spring and with IL
sprinkled the tree. shat Its branches
might not rot and wlther away, says
the Detroit News.
Originally there appears to have
been but one norn-Urth-and her
character was conceived In Il gloomy
night. making her often equivalent to
death doom. Later two others were
added. Two OF these gave the bless
ings. the third the Ills Of life. In the
legend Of Sleeping Beauty" the norns
are represented as thirteen women.
Usually they were conceived as spin
ners, weaving the fabric of fate.
Besides these great norns there
were many inferior ones, both good
and bad; for. says the Prose 3dda,
when q man ia born there is norm
TO determine his fate. and the same
authority tells us that the unequal
destinies of men In the world are at
tributahle TO the different dispositions
OF the norns. These lesser norns cor
respond to the genii of classic mythol-
ogy. Women who possessed the mower
of prediction Or magic also bore this

County Board of Supervisors,
Iron County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
We, your County Highway Com
mittee report that at meeting of
said committee this Goth day of
November, 1924, we made a trip to
the Hoyt- Kimball road in the matter
as contained in petitions from the
towns of Pence and Kimball. We
find that in order to place this high
way in a fit and passable Condition
it viii require an appropriation of at
least $20,00000 We feel that at
this time it will be impossible for the
county to make an appropriation of
such an amount.
We recommend that if the towns
of Kimball and Pence desire any i'm
provements made on this highway
that they make the appropriations at
their next annual meetings as has
been the procedure in past years
where towns desired any improve
ments on their highways. We feel
that it is only fair to the taxpayers
of town to allow them to vote on
such appropriations at their annual
meetings and at the same time being
fair to the rest of the towns who
have in the past paid so per cent of
the cost of the improvements. As
far as the 1000 feet of improvement
asked for by the Town of Pence will
say that we do not deem it advisable
at this time to expend money on this
project owing to the fact that we
would be compelled to go to consider
able expense to procure the right-of-
way and that it does not seem rea-
sonable to construct so small a piece
when the remainder of the highway
is not in a passable condition. We
therefore suggest that the matter of
the Hoyt- Kimball road be laid over
to next year when sufficient sum
can possibly be raised to make inn
-provements on this highway more
worth while.
