Kittens with Green Hair Reported in Detroit
Detroit Free Press notes a curious litter from Mrs. Rachael Carter of 1834 McHenry Street Southwest Balin ee. Five eight day old kittens display a green coat rather than yellow or brown with black backs and white undersides. The green hue resembles cantaloupe rind or canary plumage, a likely natural freak as the mother cat is black and the trait appears in the offspring.

River of Salt Water on Cephalonia Island
A salt water river on Cephalonia in Greece flows inland for centuries feeding undershot mills that powered flour production. The four coastal inlets join to form a blue river that disappears into limestone, with no conclusive explanation for the inland flow. An underground channel to the sea is plausible but unproven.

The piece argues Carmack could bolster the ticket if pressed, while recalling Roosevelt’s 1900 nomination as a career boost rather than end.
