KINGS COUNTY OFFICES TO FIJI.
The Terms OF the Sheriff, County Clerk and
Register Expire This Year.

ALBANY. July 2a.-Attorney- General Davies
today advised Secretary OF State McDonough
that the term OF office of the Sheriff County
Clerk and Register OF Kings county Is two
years and that candidates must be voted for to
fiji such offices at the coming election. The
Constitution says that the Legislature shall
fix the term OF officers in Kings and New York
counties at two or four years. The LeRisla-
ture has neglected to fix the terms OF the three
officers above mentioned since the adoption Of
this provision Of the Constitution. The Attor-
ney-General quotes from an opinion OF the
Court of Appeals to the effect that until the
terms of Office are changed by the Legislature
the minimum period should he taken as the
duration OF the terms and says
am informed that no law was passed at
the recent session OF he Legislature affecting
this question. | think. in view OF, this. that
your only course will be to follow the sucges-
tons OF tho court referred to in determining
the term Of all officers in Kings county not
fixed by statute since the adoption OF section l.
Article X. of the Constitution.
Under this decision the Secretary Of State
notified the authorities in Kings county that
they must proceed to election in the fall.

The Two Lobes Of the Brain.

In the ordinary working of the brain
one half is more active than the other
and exercises a superiority on it's neigh.
Dor lobe. This lobe-in ordinary per-
sons the left, of course-is the cerebral
master. Heredity, education, or what
we will-all the combined influences,
in short, which mold human life-haye
tended, by some process of physiological
selection, to place one lobe over the
other in point of Importance. The other
(right) lobe is the servant of the left in
a measure. It's education has been neg
leoted, and it requires the control of
its better cultured neighbor in order
that life may be conducted in a sensible
apd sane fashion. The most hopeless
cases of insanity, Wigan would have
held, would be those in which both
hemispheres were affected. If one was
alone ailing, the other might exert
more or less control over it. and the ex-
tent Of the control would depend on
which lobe exhibited the diseased &C.
ton. All degrees of insanity or mental
arrangement could thus be accounted
for on this supposition of the relative
control of one hemisphere by the other.
The perfect life is that in which the
better and higher half controls the
weaker and less responsible. Andrew
