fact that the testimony shows that

rhe Noise of the Aurora.

Ogilivie's Upper Yukon"
AS to the aurora making an audible sound,
although [ often listened when there was
very brilliant display, and despite the pro-
found stiffness which is favorable to hearing
the sound. If any sound occurs, I cannot say
that ever even fancied that l heard any
thing. / have often met people who said
they could hear a slight rustlng sound when
ever the aurora made sudden rush. One
man, a member of nay party in 1882, was so
positive of this that on the 18th of November,
when there was an unusually brilliant and ex-
tensive display, took him beyond all noise
of the camp, blindfolded him, and told him
to let me know when he heard anything,
while watched the play of the steamers. At
nearly every brilliant rush of the auroral
light he exclaimed, Don't you hear itT AL
of sound.n

CHANGE OF COMMISSIONERS.
Captain Rossell Will Probably Take His
New Office on Wednesday,

New Office on Wednesday,
The official document relieving Colonel
Robert as Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict, and appointing Captain Rossell to fill
that position was received at the District
Buildings yesterday morning. The announc-
ment that Colonel Robert was to retire as En-
gineer Commissioner, position which he has
filed with credit to the District, the Army,
and himself ever since his appointment, was
almost the sole topic of conversation among
those at the District Buildings since it was
made. Although 1t was known that Colonel
Robert was desirous of being relieved no one
expected that this action would be taken at
such short notice. There was gen.
eral expression Of regret among all
that he was to eever his connection with the
District government On the other hand, the
highest commentator was heard at the selec-
tion OF Captain Rossell to fill the vacancy.
During the period that Captain Rosscll has
been connected with the District government,
he has won for himself the warmest regard
by the manner In which he has handled the
business entrusted to him. His appointment
will cause no interruption of the District busi-
ness, as his knowledge OF all matters which are
now before the Commissioners is such that he
is better fitted to step into the position than
any other man that could be chosen. His
promotion was surprise to him. He says
that he contemplates no change in the per-
sonnel OF his department. but he does not
wish to commit himself to any obligation in this
matter, as when he begins his new duties he
may find some changes necessary. 1t was ex-
pected that Captain Rossel would assume the
duties OF his new position yesterday, but it
was found that there were several incom-
peted accounts in the hands of Auditor
Petty, which necessitated the signature Of
Colonel Robert, as Commissioner, and conse-
quently he will continue to nct until this work
can be finished. 1t is believed that this can
be done by next Wednesday. AS soon as it is
completed Captain Rossell will formally enter
upon his career as Engineer Commissioner.
There were number of prominent citizens at
the District Building yesterday who called upon
Captain Rossell to offer their congratulations.
When Colonel Robert is relieved he will pro-
ceed at once ITO Nashville His family will
follow him later.
An embarrassing point was discovered yes
terday in regard to the salary of the new Com
missioner. The act providing for this states
that the pay Of the Engineer Commissioner
shall be such that with his Army pay will
equal $4,000. Colonel Roberts pay in the
Army almost equals this, and consequently
the current appropriation only provides for
the sum of $36 per month for the Engineer
Commissioner. This, therefore, is all that
Captain Rossell can obtain until Congress
meets, when q bill will be introduced allow
ing him to draw back pay.
