MONKEY AND CoCKAToo.

Visitors to the Geological Garden have
taken special notice of a pretty little
African monkey with a tremendously
long tail. and an interesting, little,
shrivellcd up pink face. He is very
bright and amusing. with no bad OF
vicious traits. If you look closely YOU
will notice that the tip Of his tail has
been nearly stripped of hair.
The handsome white cOckatoo with the
fiery eyes and sulphurous yellow crest
did that. His big cage had been on top
of the monkeys. one day, and the little
monkey had swung his tail up until it
rested against the bars of the bird cage.
The cockatoo grabbed it and pulled it IN
with his sharp beak. Then there was
chattering and screaming, yells. croak-

a minute, before the monkey got his tail

little monkey said nothing. He sucked
the laceratcd end Of his tail and kept
quiet.
Some one had presented him with,
piece of mirror. 1t was the apple Of bis

The mild weather in the early part of
winter during the past two seasons, has
led many to suppose that the Gulf
stream, whose influence upon the wealth
er is considerable, is approaching nearer
to the Atlantic shore. The photographic
bureau of the Navy Department is max
ing efforts to discover whether or not this
is true, and captains of Atlantic vessels
are being asked to take observations Of
the temperature as they cross the ocean.
The influence of the Gulf stream proba-
bly, does no. extend west of the Rocky
Mountains, however, and the present
winter has been unprecedentedly warm
as far west and north as Lake Superior.
Some other influence is probably causing

THAT COUNTY BUILDING.

AS will be seen by the commissioners

body has seen fit to award contracts
for i'm proving the property situated on
the hill south of the Milwaukee depot
il Parker. 1t seems to the Herald that
this is a very injudicious use of the
public money. Some $500 had just
been expended on fitting up the Gilbert
building so that it could be used for
county Offices and years lease taken.
This lease could doubtless have been
extended, and vault (Which is neces-
sity) for the safe keeping of the records
built on the premises.
The county seat question is not yet
settled. Parker agreed to give $4,000.
in cash, and real estate valued at over
5000. What has she done' Nothing!
The Parker Townsite Co. has given to
the county deed Of piece of land one
hundred feet square, which property,
we understand, with all improvements
made thereon. reverts to the Townsite
Co. as soon as it ceases to be used for
county purposes, and as a greater por-
tion of the voters of the county are
opposed to the expenditure of any
county money for the buildings in Par
ker until that town makes good her
promises, the Herald fails to see how
the commissioners can justify their
action in this matter.
