31, 1916. Mr. Turner was born in Norwich, July 9, 1846. His early life was spent on a farm in the New Boston district, where he attended school. Later he was a student at Thetford academy and at Kimball Union academy at Meriden, N.

H. After his marriage to Mies Emma Fullington of Hanover, N. the family home was near Union Village, and in this community his life work, covering many phases of activity, was performed. Mr. Turner was active in church work as a member, as a teacher in the Sunday school, as'Sunday school and as steward.

For many years he was clerk of the society of pew owners as well as sexton of the church. He was interested in the cemetery, and a book which he carefully compiled, showing the arrangement of lots and the ownership of the same, is of great value to the community. For nearly ten years Mr. Turner was the efficient marshal of Colburn's band, making all engagements and attending to all business of that successful organization. He served the town of Norwich for several years as selectman, and for one term as representative in the legislature of Vermont.

Thetford, too, claimed his services for many years as notary public and last year as appraiser. Mr. Turner was an officer in the Ompompanoosuc' Agricultural Fair society, and his work in that organization may have helped him some time later, when, as organizer of the successful Country Fair Episode of the Thetford Pageant in 1911, much praise of the performance was given by a special representative of the Outlook Magazine, as well as extended to Mr. Turner, personally, by the master of the Pageant. He was a member of Good Samaritan lodge, No.

75, I. O. O. of Hanover, N. taking an active part from the time be joined, passing through the various offices to that of noble and past grand, the highest honor the lodge could confer upon him.

There is hardly a family in the community where Mr. Turner has not served as director at the funeral of some loved member, and his sympathy and tact on such occasions made his services tin-valuable. Some years after the death of his wife he married Mrs. Nellie Clark, who died in 1909. Mr.

Turner was a kind and indulgent husband, and a loving father to his four children Leon, residing in Chicago; William, in New York; Mrs. Delbert Snow of Manchester, N. and Mrs. Charles Vaughan of Thetford Center. He also leaves three grandsons and one little granddaughter.

Mr. Turner's faithfulness in all trusts committed to his care, and the many deeds of kindness to friends and neighbors and the community at large will cause him to be sadly missed and long remembered. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Fred Smith, were held on Thursday, Feb. 3, at the Union Village church, where a large number of relatives, friends and neighbors gathered to pay their last tribute of honor and affection.

No eloquence of tongue, nothing that stands written in any book, may sway the heart as does that elusive quality the race mark in a face. And this is true less of the obvious physical aspect than of its thousandth secret connotations. All the world knows the Hapsburg lip, the jaw line of the Bona-partes; the subtler marks of clanship keep their eloquence for their own Conspicuously or not, each familj group stands before these symbols as the small company cf the learned might before some inscription on a desert ruin. Mere strokes and scratches to you and me. To the few who understand here is the key that unlocks the past.

So the. family look. In the arch ol an eye orbit, the curve of chin, we read the signature of race. Chance imprints maybe, maybe seal of some struggle so profound as to have set our lips at- this particular angle, or through dimming attentions to perpetuate a gesture born a thousands years ago in joy or in some stark agony of body or of soul. The family look.

The first we remember: the last we shall forget. Elizabeth Robins in Harper's Magazine. Salt-Water Cataracts. There are a good many salt-water cataracts in existence. They may he found in Norway, southern Chile and British Columbia, where narrow fiords, or arms of the sea, are obstructed by barriers of rock.

The rising tide flows over and filters through such reefs into the great natural res ervoirs beyond, but the water is held back at the ebb until it breaks over the obstruction in an irresistible torment. Most curious of all is the waterfall at Canoe Passage, where the island of Vancouver approaches the British Columbia mainland. Here the flood tide from the Gulf of Georgia to the southward is held back at a narrow cleft between two islands until it pours over in a boiling cascade 18 feet high, with perhaps double the volume of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide, however, the waters from the north rush back into the gulf, producing a cascade of equal height and volume. The waterfall actually flows both ways.
