CARLING BACK FROM WHENCE HE CAME

Hon. John Carling will be sitting to the Speaker’s right, along with other members of the Government when the Commons begins sitting next month.

It was earlier reported that Carling had taken a seat amongst the Opposition members but he has denied any knowledge of the matter and his name has since been removed from the desk in question.

NEW PLANET DISCOVERED

Christian Peters, an astronomer at Hamilton College in the United States and Friedrich Tietjen, of Berlin, are said to have simultaneously discovered a new planet on July 7. The planet is called Undina, named for the water spirit Undine, the heroine of the fairy tale by Freidrich de la Motte Fouqué. Undine married a knight named Huldebrand in the hopes that she might gain a soul.
