MANY COMPLAINTS.

LOUNGERS IIC STREETS. t (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) DARGAVILLE, Wednesday. "The state of the streets on. Saturday nights is terrible," said Mr. E. H. Dunn at a meeting of the Dargaville Chamber of Commerce last night. "Everywhere you see Maoris half-drunk lurching about the streets, while there are numerous groups of loungers blocking the; way for shoppers. At one time the police kept the streets clear, but now they seem to do little. Strangers iind visitors are complaining about it."

The spider has been known, when inflated on a etick in water, to spin threads which the wind carried to an adjacent object, and so effect its escape. Another also fixed threads to a fly whi.-h had fallen out of the web. and thus drew it back to the '"parlour." Apparently it knows the business end nf a wasp, fur when one becomes mfancied it will i-uiround it by threads nml tb.ii pnliiMitly await it* death. It r: i n itl-e -imulate death—a useful acci-iinplisjiinem hi certain circumstances.
