Some idea of the heat last week may be gathered from the following order issued by the Cambridge University Officers' Training Corps:—
INTER-COMPANY COMPETITION.
Dress:—Two pouches will be worn on the right.
A translation is announced of a book by August Strindberg, entitled "Fair Haven and Foul Strand." Those of us who remember the Strand of twenty years ago, with its mud baths, will not consider the epithet too strong.
There is, we hear, considerable satisfaction among the animals at the Zoo at the result of a recent competition open to readers of The Express. It has been decided that the ugliest animal in the collection is the orang-utan, who resembles a human being more closely than any other animal.
Meanwhile it has been decided, humanely, not to break the news to the orang-utan himself until the weather gets cooler.
