Charges of bribery have been
made against certain Wilkesbarre
councilmen, by a fellow member,
and some interesting developments
are looked lor. It appears that the
officials, some of whom are high
flyers, prominent in both social and
political circles, are charged with
having done violence to the laws of
the city, in ways similar to those of
the Shamokin councilmen.
Berwick lost a respected resident

An exchange prints the following
curious item: "Tie a string about
a yard long to a common door key,
then hold in the right hand and
hold it so tl.e kev wi'.l clear the
floor four or five inches. If yon can
hold the key steady enough it will
begin to swing back and forth in a
straight line. Let another person
take your left hand in his and the
motion of the key will change from
the pendulum to a circular swiug.
If the third person will put his
hands on the shoulder of the second
person, the key will stop. Try it
and explain it if you can."
