"V"/ The repairs to the Maheno's centre turbine will necessitates a very heavy lift, estimated to bo 25 tons,' it haying beon decided to lift the whole turbine, shaft, etc., out in ono piece for repairing on shore. Owing to tho great hoicht of tho Hahcno's superstructure , the Dnnedin Dock Trust's shcorlegs will.bo unablo to lift tho turbino from its base, consequently. massive sheerlegs are being erected on the vessel under tho supervision of Mr; T. Baairo. Two great. Oregon. soars, wore hoisted into position on Friday, and will be fitted with snecially-mado nulley blocks, to mako a direct lift from the engine-room to tho unper deck. When: this , is accomplished, tho lift will bo transferred to-the dock sheerlegs, and by that means deposited on shore. Tho mass could , bo divided into throo lifts, but owing to the fact that tho rotas will have to bo very delicately balanced nnd conntcr-poised when completed, it , has been deemed advisable to lift it. out ■ and replace it in position all in one niece,—"Otago Daily Times.".- ~.

The presence, of sevoral lame vcsEele loadine and unloading at tho nort hes taxed its resources,and absorbed all the availablo labour. The "Press" remnrks thnt there arc only 400 men employed about the Lytt,elton wharves, and calculates that this number will be totally inadequate to moot the domar.ds of veSFels-eoastal. intercolonial, and foreign—visiting the port during the present week.: 'It is stated that tho abnormal activity of both Lyttclton and Timaru is in considerable mensuro due to tho enormous auantity of grain that is being shipped this season to tho United Kingdom; and the suggestion has been made that, in, view of tho probability that labour will bo ronuired for two or threo months at tbo southern ports in larger Quantities. ' It would bo found nrodtablo to send soinn of Wellington's ■ surplne vrharf, labour .to Lyttolton. ■\Vhile shipping is becoming comparatively auiet in Wellington, where there are about 1500 men about the wharves, it has become.-greater at Lyttolton, with'only 400 men. ; Consignees of, shipments ex. baroue LaVcmba, from Liverpool, are notified'to take delivery of their consignments. . .'•■ .
