We have devoted considerable time to
the investigation of the buildings now be-
ing erected for the County Insane Asylum
at Overlook and we find that while some
been exaggerated, and that while 1t is pos
sible to remedy some of the defects that
exist, there is much to condemn and there
is need Of a fuller and more searching in
vestigation than has yet been made.
SO far as we have heen able to ascer-
tain. the buildings will probably give good
service: but there Is no question in our
minds that the specifications hav not been
lived up to. that there has been careless
and slipshod workmanship, and that the

Piano Hints.

The jingling or singing sound no
ticeable when the piano is played
frequently is due to what is called
sympathetic vibration" This is
produced by any ordinary article in
the room vibrating in sympathy with
some particular tone in the piano.
To ascertain the cause of this vi
bration the key which seems to pro-
duce the difficulty should be struck
by one person and another go about
the room listening carefully, and
thus the article which vibrates can
be discovered and the cause removed.
Any hard substances, no matter
how small, when dropped inside of a
piano, will cause rattle or Earring
noise.

KING OSCAR DYING

Last Bulletin Indicated That

Stockholm, Dec. 7-Although the
theatres and other places of amuSe-
ment were open as usual this evening,
the crowd numbering thousands, pa
tiently waiting in a pouring rain in
front of the palace, testified to the
popular sympathy for the aged mon
arch whose life is slowly ebbing. With
in the palace members Of the royal
family, high ecclesiastics, the premier
and the minister of foreign affairs a
been assembled for some hours in the
Kings study to which room His
Majesty had been removed in bed at
noon when still unconscious. This
meaSur was taken to enable all the
family and the officials to be present
at the last moments without undue
~crowding.
The physicians in attendance ad-
ministered stimulants, consisting Of
saline solution camphOr and digitalis.
which were injected at intervals and
they relieved also as far as possible
the vesical trouble from which the
King has suffered severely all through
his illness They could accomplish,
however, very little more than the
bringing back OF their patient to mo-
mentary consciousness. Every effort
was made to reduce the pain to a
minimum, and this apparently was
successful.
The last bulletin from the sick room
tonight indicated that the end is not
far off. The King to all appearances
passed a painless day" the bulletin
read, and it was significant of the fact
that the monarch remained through
out the day practically in a comatose
condition. Once after the ministra-
ions of the physicians he was able to
murmur his thanks in a hardly per-
ceptible voice.
The condition of tn King is such
that the physicians state recovery is
impossible, although they still have
slight hopes of keeping the spark of
life burning until morning. The
breathing is weak and the pulse low
and irregular. The blood vessels of
the heart and other organs are hope
lessly affected.
Bishop Billing, of Lund has been
summoned by telegraph to come by
special train TO the palace to pray at
the bedside for the King. In the ex-
pectation hat life Will be prolonged
until the morning. The ministers left
the palace at IL o'clock, the various
members of the royal family with
drawing for the time being from the
sickroom. The physicians remained
with His Majesty throughout the
night.
