Bristol Mortuary Chapel Opens For Sundays and Funerals
Editorial notes that Bristol spent about 2500 on a Mortuary Chapel in North Cemetery yet it remains unopened. After Robert Jones of the Herreshoff Marine Band funeral in heavy rain, band members waited thirty minutes for transport as the chapel stayed closed. Authors urge arrangements to have the chapel opened for funerals and visiting cemetery crowds, suggesting each local undertaker receive a key for access.

A fallacious algebraic trick proves 2 equals 1
The article presents a classic invalid proof that 1 equals 2 by assuming x equals y. It multiply, subtract, factor, and divide by x minus y to force the conclusion that x plus y equals y, then uses x equals y to deduce 2 equals 1. The piece cautions that the method rests on an illegal division by zero and is not a valid result.
