AUSTRALIANS CAPITAL.
II VIII DC Located Per-
mnnentiy.

Nobody yet knows where the future
capital of federated Australia is to
be located. 1t is agreed that Mel
bourne must be the temporary me-
tropolis for five years at the very
least. Everything possible is being
done by the Melbourne local authori-
ties to make the commonwealth gov
eminent and parliament comfortable
in their city and reluctant to depart,
says the London Chronicle. Their
presence not only confers prestige
but circulates q considerable quaint
ty of cash. 1t is Sir William Lyme
who. as home secretary, has control
of all the prelminaries incidental to
the selection of the site of the Otto
wa of the antipoGes. Some predict
a prolonged controversy over this
matter, as Sydney is still swayed to
a large extent by local considerations,
one of which is that the new federal
capital must on no account be To-
Gated where it might interfere with
Sydney's commercial supremacy or
paramount Importance as the parent
British settlement in the southern
seas. Sir William Lyme is himself a
strong Sydneyite in this sense.

Remain Hypnotfzed.

A hypnotist and his subject, James
"Cannonball" Morris, who have for
several years given exhibitions at
Wheeling. w. Va, have made one
failure. The hypnotist used to hypno-
tie Morris and bury him under
ground in the local parks and resur-
rect him the next day for the edi-
fication of public picnics, but these
became commonplace. SO the other
night Morris was hypnotized, with a
five-foot blacksnake, and buried with
it, to be dug up the next day at the
butchers picnic. About daylight the
guard was reused by muffied cries
for help coming up from the earth,
and, through the air pipe Morris told
him the snake had come from under
control and was getting entirely too
friendly. Morris was released in a
few minutes. He was black in the
face. The friendly serpent was thrice
wrapped about his neck.
