PRIVATE FADS.
TO THE EDITOR OF "THE PRESS." Sr, —In case the Mayor and Mr Isitt fail to attend to "K" for his conduct, the job devolves on me. I want to point out to "K" that when he contemplates a turnip say, he has to use his imagination, to get a correct idea of what that turnip really is—viz., 95 or. 97 per cent, water. So with "Me and 'K' " —mostly water wo are with ii little spirit, aud a few other things mixed. It does not matter much where Sir Oliver Lodge's imagination runs to browse, provided it brings back some food for our thought, which it always does; and that food is not pap stnff, it requires chewing before it can be digested. Most of us keep our imaginations too much "on the chain."— Yours, etc., PETER TROLOYE. • -St. Andrew's Hill, May Ist.
