SIXTH SENSE MYTH,

WOMAN AND POWERS OF INTUITION,

If when a visit is paid to London, one cares to do a little exploring in the neighbourhood

800-Years-Old Fish Trap.

Mrs. Jones, the octogenarian of Tan-yr-Allt, Carnarvonshire, is to be allowed to continue to use her fish trep, which has been in her family for 300 years, although the area Fishery Board contend that the use of it in the weir infringes a by-law.

She was summoned by the Board, and the niagistrate found her guilty of a technical offence, but inflicted no penalty.

Year Rare Death,

A Grimsby schoolboy, George Baker, 11, has died after bleeding for six days from a cut in the knee. At the inquest the mother said doctors could stop the bleeding that neither private nor hospital Dr. Harris said the boy was a victim of hemophilia, a rare con dition in which the blood would not coagulate over a wound and sufferers invariably bled to death. The coroner, returning a verdict of Accidental Death, said it was the first case of the kind in his 38 years' experience.

Tree In Omnibus.

As the driver was applying his brakes to avoid another vehicle, a motor-omnibus skidded in Upper street, Islington, N., turned com- pletely round, and struck one of the trees at the side of the road. The tree went through the windows and panels, part of the trunk being inside the omnibus, while the foliage stuck out through the top. The boughs had to be sawn off to remove the tree. Five passengers were slightly injured.
