Notes on News.
Paris is at present excited over a haunted house, which, contrary to all precedent, is situated in one of the busiest and most frequented streets of the city. The time honoured “mysterious knockings” were the first indication that there was something uncanny about the habitation. The police were called upon to solve the mystery, but failed. From cellar to garret they examined the house, and even though they were privileged to hear the ghostly sounds they could not arrive at any explanation. But as haunted houses in these days have to undergo more searching tests than in the olden time, an architect was summoned. His efforts also were in vain. The haunted house remains the terror of the tenants and the talk of the town.
