A Balloon Ascension Suggested.

In communication to the District Commits
sioners the weather bureau suggests that the
Capitol centennial committee accept the
proposition Of Prof. S. A. King Of Phila-
delphia to give balloon ascension in
connection with the ceremonies proposed by
the com mittee on the 18th of September next.
The interest of the weather bureau officials in
the matter is due to the fact that Prof King
in his ascensions has always rendered
the bureau the benefit to be derived from the
opportunity afforded for making meteorolog-
ical observations. 1t is said that the ascen-
sions would not only greatly entertain and in
terest those attracted by the ceremonies, but
would also be of the greatest scientific value to
the weather bureau.

Not a Highway.
The attorney for the District Mr. s. T
Thomas. today rendered to the Commits
sioners a decision as to the legal STATUS O.
Meridian avenue between Crescent and
Prospect streets. The attorney holds tina
it is not a public highway. On Decembel

he decided that IL was a public highway
but now on a fuller and more exhaustiv,
study OF the question he reverses that de
cision. He says that there is a questio,
whether or not the Commissioners have tn,
right under the provisions Of the act OF 81
providing for public highways TO make Me
rtdfan avenue public, but at the same time
as IL runs parallel with 18th street, h
thinks there is no necessity for it.

waited on Mr.. Crisp and the democratic
members of the rules committee before
the House met today to submit a request
formulated by the republican caucus that
there be a reallotment of the seats with a
view to a more equitable division than OBJ
tanned last Congress. The committee point
ed to the fact that the republican Repre-
sentatives now number 12S, or forty more
than their strength in the last Congress.
Therefore they ask that the section of
seats to the right of the main aisle be add
ed to their space After some discussion
the democratic managers acceded to this
request so that the hall of the House after
the seats are drawn today will resemble
the arrangement Of the Fifty-first Con-
