MYSTERIOUS BEHAVIOR OF Door BELL.
People who are inclined to speculate upon
mysterious occurrences, and the agency of
spiritual beings in matters terrestrial, have am
pie scope for their imaginative powers in try
ing to account for phenomenon which has
bewildered residents in the western part of the
city for the past lew days. On Wednesday last,
the inmates of the new French roof house, near
the junction of Queen, Davis and Ely streets,
occupied by Mr.. L. II. Parker, were startled by
the continuous ringing of door bell situated in
the second story. Not being able to account
for the singular circumstance, they invited sew
eral of their neighbors and others to witness
the phenomenon, but thus far the mystery hang
ing over the affair has not been cleared up
The bell is of common construction, and is
hung in the usual manner upon a
spiral brass wire. From the he'll a
small iron wire leads down through
the floors of the second and first stories to
the cellar, where it turns, and coming up
through the floor again, is attached to the knob
at the front door. The bell is not at all regular
in action, sometimes ringing almost continu-
Ousy, and again remaining quiet for an hour.
Yesterday the wire was cut in the first story but
it seemed to make no difference, the bell behav-
ing as strangely as before. Persons having
their hands on the wire have experienced severe
twitchings, as though some powerful force had
control of its movements. The wire as it passes
through the second floor is enclosed in small
zinc tube, and some people have attributed the
phenomenon 10 electricity, but this theory is
very lame. The above is plain statement OF
facts and our readers can make their own con-
lectures in regard TO it,
