Sydney pantomime riot ends with man leaping into stalls
An unlisted man in the three tier Sydney theater gallery dove into crowded stalls during a Christmas pantomime scene injuring Miss Florence O'Brien and Mr. Booth. The jumper, identified as Smith, stood over the railing and declared he was "full up" with life before leaping. He is recovering in Sydney hospital. The two injured residents of Parramatta were attended to as crown law officers weigh charges. The scene drew commentary on public interest in religion from Rev W Maeley.

Tree Adrift in Atlantic Suggests Floating Island Origin

The other item relates a Windsor Magazine anecdote about a Cairo banquet cup mistakenly pocketed by an English guest and later returned.
