Those who witnessed the corona tion procession will doubtless recol lect a small groi-p of copper-colore soldiers with bare legs and ontstand ig hair innocent of covering. Th strange people-Fi.iians--and thei ancient ceremony of the Vilavorai %our, or fire walking, were the sub ject of a paper read by WV. L. Allar dlyce. C .M. G.. at a meeting of th Royal Colonial Institute recentil Adimral Sir N. Bowden-Smith pre sided. The ceremony of fire walking, M3 Allardyce explained, is performe by a certain tribe at the Island c Bega, and originated in a legend tha in reward for having spared the lif of a man he had dug out of th ground, one Tui Qualita was investe with the power of being able to wal over red hot stones without bein burned. An earth oven is made an filled with layers of wood and ston In this a fire is kindled about twelv hours before the fire walking take place, and, when the hot -stones hav been exposed by brushing away th charcoal, the natives, under the d: rection of a master of ceremonie' walk over them barefooted. The temperature at the edge c the oven is about 120 degrees Fahrer heit. while on one occasion, when th thermometer was suspended over th stones, it registered 282 degrees an the solder was melted. Yet. state Mr. Allardyce, after the ceremon the natives show no sign of the tei rinic ordeal through which they hay gone. By means of a number c views the lecturer give a realistic ide of the ceremony as performed non~ adays. Vice-Admiral Lev:is Beaumont de scribed a fire walking ceremony a witnessed by himself. A!thoug those who took part in it showed n signs of discomfort, lie remarked tha apparently they did not like it ver much. Replying to questions. Mr. AlIar dtyce saidl the onyexplanation h1 could give~ of the apparent imimunit from harm following the process wa that soles of the feet of the native were hard-ened to an unusual degre 'Ihrough constant walking on a sand sil covering coral, which became es eeedinrg!y nlot undi(er the suni. Ther was also the element of absolute ix lief by thle natives i the legend tha they were proof against fire. Tndnn Sandr. NOTICE OF PRIMARY ELEC TION.

I have also heard a 'hermit thrush with a similar defect or im Sfpediment, and yet, too, appeared to sing entirely to its own satisfaction. I t would be very interesting to knon~ if these poor singers found mates as readily as their more gifted brothers. If they (lid, the Darwinian theory of "sexual selection" in such matters. according to which the finer songster would carry off the female, would fall to the ground. Yet it is certain that it is during the mating and breeding season that these "song combats" oc cur, and the favor of the fem,le would seem to be the matter in dis pute. WVhether or not it be expres fsive of actual jeoalousy or rivalry.~we -have no other words to apply to it. e _ _______ e. The Freemen's Aid and Education 3 al society, in session at Ma'nchester, 3 N.
