Town Council Elects Long List of Officers

The Town Council met Tuesday evening and appointed a long list of minor officers. No permanent police chief or patrol officers were elected, as state law requires no annual election for those posts. Several positions received new appointees or renewals, with officers including sealer of weights and measures Genarro De Felice, town treasurer, harbor master, health officer, milk inspector, clerk, and various clerks and surveyors among others. The council granted licenses and permits, authorized borrowing for expenses, and approved are for a sign at 446 Hope street and a parade for a local club.

Myth of Monkey Bridges Questioned by Pathfinder Magazine

Pathfinder Magazine casts doubt on the claim that monkeys form living bridges to cross streams. It notes that while monkeys sometimes hang on to each other or climb using another’s tail, there is no positive evidence of true bridge-building. Dr. William M. Mann of the National Zoological Park relates the tale to spider monkey maneuvers in South America.
