LEWISTON, Me-, March 20.-An Auburn
physician who is subscriber to the
telephone Exchange" is fond of queer
pets, and keeps in his Office a monkey
and parrot which are warm friends.
The parrots cage hangs near the tele-
phone, under which is q desk. For
some time past it has been noticed that
the bird and beast seemed deeply inter-
ested in the telephone, but no one OF
course anticipated that they would get
at it. A few days ago, however, while
the doctor was out, the monkey ''rang
up" the central office. When the house
maid, hearing noise, came in, the
monkey, perchcd on the desk with the
trumpet at his ear, was listening with an
air of extreme gravity, while the parrot,
greatly excited flew around its cage
