Pastor Opposed Recognition.

Rev. josef Rosenius, in sermon at
Oscars church, Stockholm, touched on
the dissolution OF the union. He did
not want Sweden to recognize Nor
ways action at once. On the other
hand, no compulsion should be used,
as an offensive warfare was relic
of barbarism. Sweden had right,
however, to defend itself from attack.
and hence it was not only desirable,
but even necessary that Sweden
should prepare itself for eventualities

A woodsman walks with a rolling
motion, his hips swaying an inch or
more to the stepping side, and his
pace is correspondingly long. This
hip action may be noticed to an ex-
aggerated degree in the stride of
professional pedestrian, but the latter
walks with heel-and-toe step, where
as an Indians or sailors step is
more nearly flat-footed. In the latter

The Probes cis Monkey.

A monkey with nose that has made
some progress on the road to becom.
ing trunk is decided curiosity. On
that account the new Ape House at
the Geological Gardens will probably
have plenty of visitors for some time
to come, in order to see the young
specimen of the proboscis monkey
the first of its kind brought alive to
England. In that, however, the nose
is far from having attained the size
which comes only with mature age.
These animals are found only in Bor-
neo. always frequenting the tree tops
of river side forests, where they con.
gregate in small groups or family par
ties. The general coloration is red
dish.brown above and white beneath;
but in young animals there is more
red on, the forequarters and the face
is blackish. Hornaday, the we'll.
