The police records tell a grisly story of the jreople who nie and are buried unknown in a big city like Sydney. Every year between 33 and -10 people in Sydney slip suddenly out of life with no one to identify them—the flotsam who float about until death claims them. Jn a small community identification becomes easy, hut in a city of nearly one million people, and with a large floating population in addition, tin- problem of idontilication becomes difficult. The police consider themselves fortunate in being able to identify as many as they do. seeing that for the* last twelve months, lor example 000 deaths were dealt with by the City Coroner alone. Finger-prints servo to identify quite a large number of hitherto unknown people who have passed out of life. Those grisly records are known amongst the police as the Look o the Dead. In chapters in the various stations are the stories ol die s laimios and tragedies. This is to notify to you that we are now marking off at a very reasonable mice the latest in Parisian mode..., and respectfully ask you to view them at once as they are sure to lie eagerly sought for at E.
