Violent Deaths Suppose you know all about the du ties of a coroner Perhaps it would bo safer to say you think you do for the chances are that your real knowl edge of what thete ofliclals do is some what limited It wouldnt he at all strange If there are many lawyers who aro not thoroughly acquainted with the duties and privileges of these officials Time was when coroners of Maine outranked the sheriffs Ever hear about that It wasnt so many years ago In those days the coroners were required to give a bond of 50000 and the sheriff one of 10000 Today it is different The sheriffs give the same big bond but the coroners have to have financial backing to the extent of only about ji thousand The legisla ture has changed the law Even now there are only two ollicials who can serve a paper upon a sheriff a coroner or a high sheriff of another county It used to be that the coroner was the only one who could do this There are times when it becomes necessary to serve a writ of attach ment upon a sheriff and this too wIipii be doesnt owe the man who makes the atachinent a single penny A brings a suit against B and at taches his property to insure getting his cash B however owes C a cer tain sum Now the property which A has attached is worth a great deal more than the amount of As claim C cant very well attach it because there is already an attachment To cover his claim he must attach the sheriff as custodian of the property To look out for his own interests he had the attachments made Hero is where the coroner comes in He or the high sheriff of another county must make the sen ice As coroners are for the most part most accessible they are called for ofteuest in these cases The coroner also does the work of a sheriff or his deputy in the case of the death o a sheriff AVhen a sheriff dies his deputies die with him In such an event the coun ty is left without a sheriff or a depu ty sheriff Its only officers to serve civil papers are constables and they cannot mako attachments above a cer tain sum Some provision has to be made by law to guard against emer gencies On the death of a sheriff the governor first of all appoints a jail breaker so that there may be some person legally to have charge of con victs in the penal institution of the county After that he names a sheriff to fill the unexpired term But this doesnt provide for the service oi civil papers nere is where the coroner steps in He under the laws of the state has power to serve these papers The last sheriff to die in office in Maine was Sheriff Reed of Penobscot county in 1893 In the time between his death aud the appointment of his successor Charles R Brown of Spring field there came an important attach ment to be made on a Bangor concern A coroner was called in by the firm of lawyers who had the case and he was requested to make the service It was but he successfully a new duty for the man cessfully grappled with it You see coroners are something more than officials for investigating cases of violent deaths Lewiston Journal An Emperors Attic The winter palace of the czar sur nasses auv other palace in Europe It is on the banks of tho Neva and owes its existence to the Empress Catherine II that most extraordinary woman extraordinary in ability and in vice the surprise of all her contemporaries and the wonder of all who have stud ied her character The building is four stories high of a light brown color and highly ornamental in archi tecture It is a wilderness of halls stairways and apartments The Nich olas hall and the St Georges hall will never bo forgotten by those who have seen them One of the most interesting rooms is that where Nicholas I died It is in the upper story of the northeast corner of the building and is approached by four doors and finally by a narrow passage It is a small om oniy about eighteen feet long and twelve feet wide with two small windows and is the place where the emperor spent most of his time when not of ficially employed It is the oo i in which he died some say by poison ad ministered by hhuelf in a lit of mel ancholy induced by the outcome cf the Crimean v ar The room remains just as he left it Near the center is a plain iron bedstead Some chairs and a few cheap pictures adorn the room and a dilapidated down at the heel pair of slippers complete the furnish ings of the attic room in the palace Dancing Birds One of the many strange sights on the plains of southern Africa is a p ir ty of -waltzing ostriches Their qucor antics have been described thus When there are a number of them they will start off in the morning aud after running a few hundred yards will stbp and with raised wings will whirl rapidly round till they are stupefied or perhaps break a leg The males pose also before fighting and to make their court They kneel on their ankles opening their wings and balancing themselves alternately forward and backward or to one side or the other while the neck is stretched on a level with the back and the head strikes the sides now on the right now on the left while the feathers are bristling The birds appear at this time so ab sorbed in their occupation as to forget all that is going on around them and can be approached and caught The male alone utters a cry which sounds much like an effort to speak with the mouth shut tiirht 1 Fou Sale A 12 foot extension table II If Taktsch Foit Salk
