Police in Osaka, Japan, continued their hunt Thursday for the monkey that likely came from mountains near the central Japanese city.

``It just moves too fast,'' Osaka police officer Noriyuki Manabe said.

The 3-foot-tall monkey first appeared Tuesday. Police briefly cornered it Wednesday, but had to back off after the monkey seized two kittens.

Police feared it might harm other animals, television reports quoted a city official as saying. The monkey escaped carrying the kittens.

Teachers at an elementary school elementary school: see school.  in the nearby town of Settsu locked their windows Wednesday and ordered children not to go home alone after the monkey appeared on the building's roof, the city official said.

The monkey slipped away even though police and television camera crews surrounded the school.

National television showed police searching neighborhoods in eastern Osaka on Thursday, warning residents to avoid making eye contact with the monkey, which could provoke an attack.

The policemen moved in pairs, one carrying a large net and the other holding a 6-1/2-foot pole with bananas dangling from the end.

Monkeys have long been a problem in rural Japan, where they damage crops, swipe food from grocery stalls and even bite humans. Rising monkey populations have prompted more frequent forays out of the forests and into farms and towns.

The monkeys, a species of macaque, are one of the most common wild mammals in Japan This is a list of the mammal species recorded in Japan. There are 153 mammal species in Japan, of which 3 are critically endangered, 22 are endangered, 13 are vulnerable, and 2 are near-threatened. 1 of the species listed for Japan is considered to be extinct. .

William bumps into father's mistress

In a get-together that wasn't supposed to happen this soon, if ever, Prince William has unexpectedly met Camilla Parker Bowles, the mistress of his father, Prince Charles, and the woman his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales Diana, princess of Wales
 orig. Lady Diana Frances Spencer

(born July 1, 1961, Sandringham, Norfolk, Eng.—died Aug. 31, 1997, Paris, France) Consort (1981–96) of Charles, prince of Wales.
, held responsible for the breakup of her marriage.

A spokeswoman for Prince Charles confirmed the news and said she had no objection to its publication, fueling speculation that a move to gain public acceptance of Parker Bowles as consort to the heir to the throne was resuming. That campaign ended abruptly - some thought permanently - last Aug. 31 after Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris.

According to The Sun and other published accounts Thursday, William came into London from his school at Eton, near Windsor, on Friday evening, June 12, to go to the movies with friends. He made an unplanned stop to change his clothes at his newly decorated apartment in his father's quarters at St. James' Palace.

Parker Bowles, a frequent overnight guest, was there, and his father told him the mix-up was an inevitable ``clash of diaries.'' He gave his son the choice of greeting her or avoiding her, and William said he was willing to be introduced.

With his father present, William and Parker Bowles talked for 30 minutes, sipping soft drinks and keeping the conversation light, the press accounts said. Parker Bowles was said to be ``trembling'' with nervousness while William maintained the self-assurance that has gained him much favorable comment in the tumultuous past year, which has forced him into a public role long before anyone intended.

The Sun, and its chief competitor, The Mirror, in its own ``World Exclusive'' account, both reported that on emerging from the meeting she asked for a vodka tonic.
