Senator Hl who reached Albany on Thurs
day and left that city as soon as the Legis-
lature adjourned. takes pains 10 assert that
he has not seen Governor Flower for six weeks.
No one will dispute the accuracy Of this state
mept; still can there be a doubt in any rational
mind that Mr.. Hill has not been in close COM
mnnication with Mr.. Flower, through the Gov
ernor's private secretary or other agents, or
that the Governors action on various important
matters has not been dictated by the Senator!
II Is significant that those Democrats enjoying
Mr.. Hills confidence who saw him in New York
Yesterday received the impression that the re-
form measures affecting this city will be vetoed.
Governor Flower will assume grave response

measures every one Of which is plainly In the

An instance of precocious wickedness
worth recording is reported from
Amiens. Alphonse Pate, boy of 141S
years, was dismissed some time ago from
the Office of local merchant for miscon.
duct. He at once went to the bank in
which his former master keeps his ac-
count and obtained a checkbook. With
the aid of this valuable article the youth
received over $4,000, which he squan-
dered in Brussels, where he gave him
self out as French viscount. Strange
ly enough, the lad had before crossing
the frontier been seen frequently in
Amiens spending money freely, yet no
policeman molested him. He has now
been brought back in custody to his ma
tive town, where his doings will meet
with the punishment they deserve. -

An army officer is reported to have in
invented wonderful electrical system
of auxiliary harbor defenses.
1t is claimed that the device is SO con-
structed that if a single ship or fleet of
any number of vessels attempts to enter
a harbor where the system has been in
troduced each ship could be struck o
blow with what or in what way it is
not stated) equal to $4,000 tons, and the
blow would come from overhead, out of
the air, as the ship crossed a certain line.
The mysterious blow, it is stated, is to
come vertically, and is to strike upon
the part of the ship where it will do the
most permanent harm. Twenty of these
Thorhammer blows can be struck in ten
seconds of time. Several army officers
and naval experts are said to have in
vestigated the method, and are reported
to have agreed that the blow could GER
tainly be struck within foot or two of
the point indicated.
1t is further said that the blow cannot
be warded or conducted off, as stroke
of lightning might be, but would shat

According to dispatch, psychologists
are very much excited over the case of a
young girl who lives at Hiawatha, Kan.
The girl has always been considered ex-
ceptionally bright, but about two years
ago she began periodically to act and
talk entirely different from her usual
manner. AT these times her pronuncia-
ton of English became that of former
century and her department conformed
to that time. She says she does not
know who she is when she is laboring
under the delusion. but thinks she will
be able soon to tell who the spirit is that
is taking possession Of her body without
permission.

Lieutenant Mansfield, Of the Royal
Naval reserve. made his ascent from the
Victoria gardens recently. sitting upon
trapeze immediately beneath the bal
loon. to which was also attached para
chute of a new fashion. The whole rose
to height which rendered even the big
balloon itself scarcely visible in the
cloudless sky. 1t was now, as appears
from this brave seaman's narrative, at an
altitude of 1 400 feet, or more than two
miles, commanding a vast horizon; but
tke TSyager's hands were so numbed
that he was becoming unable to feel the
cords.
Then, says Lieutenant Mansfield,

feet he was falling at a great speed. but
was fully able to control the apparatus.
AT 10000 feet he was sailing down calm

fro in various counter currents, and at
900 feet exactly felt the heat from
