AIRSHIP OVER ABERDARE AND MERTHYR. About 7 o'clock Monday evening hundreds of people in Aberdare ana neighbourhood had their faces turned towards the sky, a strange, oblong, flaming object being visible above Mer- thyr mountain. No one could tell what it was. Some argued that it was thI tail of a comet or some other astron- omical phenomenon, while others dis- missed it as a reflection on the edge of the clouds of the Dowlais Ironwork lava. It appears, however, that it wa» a British airship. Mr. C. B. Stanton, M.P., who was one of the spectators OJ the object, made enquiries on returning to London on Tuesday. He saw Major Baird, M.P., of the Air Board, who later sent him a note sayl n,(, There is nO doubt that the airship seen over Aber- dare and Merthyr last night was on* of ours. \ou will not ask me where lives. The main thing is that it ours." Mr Stanton was given authorl" ty to make the fact known.

DEBATE AT ABERDARE. On Friday night last a debate, "PrO" hibition v. State Purchase," took pla0* at Carmel Hall. The Rev. T. MadoC Jeffreys occupied the chair. Mr. E. J. Johnson, of the British Temperanc* League, opened for Prohibition, produced many points in favour of h' view—economic, social and labour. Edgar Jones, Aberdare, led for the op* position. He wound up with the aâ- vice to take the middle and moderatø course.—The Rev. T. Powell, Cwmdare> regretted that no concrete scheme given forth by either speaker.—Mr. T. James suggested that the lo?. Trades Unionists were out for prohib1' tion judging from their action of re- moving their lodges from licensed P mises.—Mr. J. T. Norman (AberamaD[ criticised both sides.—The champi011? each replied to the questioners critics.—It is creditable to the NortP Glamorgan District of Good Templa^f that they organized this splendid eff°^ to educate the public in Tempera11^ Legislation so that the electors use their votes in an enlightened ner.
