A translation is announced of a book by August Strindberg, entitled

There is, we hear, considerable satisfaction among the animals at the
Zoo at the result of a recent competition open to readers of _The

other animal.

Meanwhile it has been decided, humanely, not to break the news to the
orang-utan himself until the weather gets cooler.
