~ ERLIN, May 2S.-Prince August
n Wilhelm of Prussia, the kaiser's
fourth son, who f. destined to
carve out a career In civil life. will
shortly take over an important execu-
tive position in the administration of
the province OF POsen or the vfcerOyaI-
ty of AIsace-LOrraine.
The prince, who won the title of
"doctOr" In brilliantly successful uni
versity examinations, is meantime be-
ing put through the PAGES of civil ad-

said to have developed genuine execu-

purely military bent of HOhenzOIIern
princes.
A very interesting exhibition has
just been opened in Berlin; unique, too,
of its kind, as nothing like it has been
attempted in any other country. De-
scribed briefly, it is an assembIage oS

lin of the future, which is even now
engaging municipal attention in the
German capital, but of cities like New

Great Public Awakening.
II Is recognized germany that a
great, and perhaps the chief, glory Of
the nineteenth century is the public
awakening, which occurred during its
last quarter, &c the so-called social
question: and particularly that part OF
it which is concerned with the orgaui-
cation of towns with a view to dwell

healthy its inhabitants of every class

The city fathers of Berlin are en-
thusiastic on the subject and are pow
erfully encouraged by the Kaiser in
their efforts to prepare for the health
and happiness of future generations as
well as to secure the same. so far as
money and technical skill can do it,
for the present one.
Situated. as their city is, in the mid
die Of Europe, and with a steadily
growing influx and passage of mer-
chandise and traffic, they offer prizes
for the most promising plans and most
practical suggestions with a view to
realization later. They are convinced
that their system of communications
is on sound basis and that the same
may be said of their water supply.
They are now principally concerned
about the dwelling question and the
utilization of the woods and park lands
and water surfaces around the city.
In respect to the first they look with
envious eyes toward Vienna and Ros-
ton, while to Chicago they turn for
ideas regarding public gardens and
Fairgrounds. The exhibition is being
held in the large annex at the ZooIogi-
cal gardens.
Suppression of Noises.
Nothing escapes the German spirit
of experimental investigation. One OF
the latest subjects Of it-there are al
ways hundreds OF Investigations going
on-is the suppression of noises in
dwelling houses. This time it is Han
