Among the designs for a federal flag, one sent in under the nom de plume of "Imperialism" was very much appreciated by the general public, a large majority of them selecting it as most original and patriotic. As the judges entirely ignored this design, a few admirers have had it made up in bunting, and it will be flown to-day from the flagstaff of the building of the Equitable Life Assurance Company, corner of Collins and Elizabeth streets.

It is only necessary to enumerate a few of the shocking examples of municipal neglect to show how much has to be done and how necessary it is that an early start be made. To take Government House itself, the visitor leaving it for the naturally fine approach to the city across Princes-bridee finds on his right a tumble down poorhouse on the very border of the Domain, and on his left an unsightly desert of rubbish heaps lined with squalid sheds.

Once across the Yarra he passes an apology for a railway station, and if he goes to the east will view another grand city approach marred by the new railway line, which can at any rate be saved from the added ugliness of incompletion. In the city itself he may find close to Parliament House a derelict open space, and in Elizabeth-street a piece of wood paving which will give him a poor idea of Melbourne's views both as to use and ornament.

It appears that a few hundred drunken Russian soldiers, about to be embarked for China, fell upon and Imperial policy nullifies every principle set forth in the Declaration of Indcpen-" dence." Such is the man who has set himself the task of turning Mr. M'Kinley out of the White House.

What his chances are we at a distance cannot know. There may be currents of influence which do not appear on the surface. The nomination of Governor Roosevelt for the Vice-Presidency in the Republican interest, and the retirement of Admiral Dewey, have both served M'Kinley's cause. There has to be added to that a continual defection of Gold Democrats; and Mr. Bryan's uncompromising hostility to the Trusts will make for him some very powerful enemies.

The invention, a model of which was seen by a representative of "The Age" near Mr.

Rose's residence, in Wright-street, East Prahran, yesterday, relates to the construction of a gravity wheel, with concentric rings, secured to arms radiating from the centre. These arms or weights act as balance and driving levers, and are so nicely arranged those on the downward grade being two-thirds heavier than those on the upward grade in action that a natural falling of the weights on the former grade ensures perpetual motion. A cessation of the driving force can only be effected by preventing the weights from falling, and this is done by a very simple contrivance in the form of a spring which acts on all the weights simultaneously. Taking a wheel 40 feet in diameter and 3 feet wide, it is estimated that it will carry 1050 weights, and that the driving power will be equal to 14433 tons from the centre of the wneel. The cost of construction is about one-sixth the cost of machinery for steam power, and it is also claimed that the new motive power will reduce the working expenses 95 per cent.

The model has been subjected to continuous tests, as it is apparently capable, like the brook, of "going on for ever," which, of course, is what is expected of an invention claiming to constitute a solution of the secret of perpetual motion. into consideration the condition of their fellow countrymen in the Russian Em MAP SHOWING NEW FEDERAL ELECTORAL DISTRICTS.

There is little hope that even this lesson of all kinds. The income tax was the means of sending much money from Australia, mortgages were then called in, and the should be according to the lower scale under the Supreme Court rules.

These objections gave rise to doubts in the mind of the taxing officer as to the practice which had hitherto been pursued, and he put the question to the Chief Justice. The latter held yesterday that taxation should be according to the higher scale under the Common Law Procedure Act, and that the mat will teach anything to the wrong-headed. Tho induction of the Rev.
