Paris Flood History and Seine Forecast System
Paris has suffered many floods counted since 1732 in three height categories.

Speaker Cannon and insurgent Murdock in House laughter
The House faced a moment of wit when Speaker Cannon sought a presiding officer for the committee of the whole session on the agricultural bill. With Foster of Vermont and Malloy of New York absent, Victor Murdock of Kansas drew laughs as the chair was offered to him, then humorously redirected to Mr. Campbell. Also noted is a censorious step toward a “skunk trust” with B. M. Mills of New Boston planning to form a skank trust capitalized at 2500, paying 25 each, promising big dividends from skin and product markets. The item ends with a whimsical verse about Jack Spratt and his wife choosing beans.
