The New Northwest/1871/October 27/Death notice

Madame Jeanette Power, one of the most eminent feminine naturalists of the day, has recently deceased in France. She was known as the discoverer of the secret of the manner in which the shell of the nautilus is formed, and her experiments upon the subject are among the most curious of the age. It is to Madame Power that we owe, likewise, the invention of the aquarium. She was much esteemed in the scientific world, a member of most of the European acadamies of science, and held a grade of high distinction at the Academy of Brussels, and, withal, so truly feminine and simple-hearted that all this honor and glory was freely given.
