STUDENT'S PRANK
SKELETON ON HIGH
LONDON, 20th December.
"How long?" asks the "Sunday Times," "is the silk-hatted skeleton perched on the pinnacle of the Mitchell Tower of the famous Marischal College at Aberdeen to remain the cynosure of the city?" ,
It was placed in position 250 ft from the ground by an adventurous undergraduate a week ago, and; braving the wind ana rain, has been gazed on by thousands, yet tho authorities have not removed it. Apparently, like true Aberdonians, they grudge the cost of providing- a steeplejack. The skeleton, which has been roped to tho weathervane in a ridiculously perky attitude, is a skull affixed to a life-size wooden frame arrayed in white pyjamas and with a hand pointing to the sky.
