PLAGUE OF FLIES

A strange natural'phenomenon is re-ported-from" Banjaluka,, in Bosnia. In the evening a-sudden darkness overtook tho town,-but instead' of a thunderstorm breaking from the'clouds millions of small white ;flies fell on the town, obscuring the street lights and penetrating into the houses. The restaurants - and ' cafes were obliged to. close and put out their lights, but at dawn the flies rose again and disappeared into tho-air. :
