SYDNEY, Australia, (0?) -A Jersey cow named Nancy has made veterinary history in Aus- tralia by producing twin calves six weeks apart at Munrumbsteman.

The first was a blank and white heifer. the second a bull, born on a farm near Canberra.

Veterinary scientists who de- scribed the event as "a near mir- rwle" said six weeks between cattle twins was rare. It was pos- sibly the flrst case of its kind in Australia.

On May 6. 1953 at 1.30 Lin. a strange event took place in Ed- monton, Alberta, Mrs. Don Walm- sley awakened her husband, a well- known Edmonton musican, when she saw flames pouring from their parked automobile at the rear oi their home. Mr. walmsley got up, turned in a fire alarm. While they were watching the flames the horn began to blow noisily. Then lo und behold the car began to move. It slowly moved backward up a slight incline and into the roadway. the horn still blowing. By the time the firemen arrived it had stopped by itself and they put out Ilhc flames strange but true.
