WHY ANCHOR IN THE STREAM?
FOR MEDICAL INSPECTION. It is understood (states the Auckland "Herald") that the Zoalandia, which is due at Auckland from Sydney to-morrow morning, will not carry out tho usual custom of anchoring in the stream to await medical inspection, but will berth immediately at tho Queen's Street Wharf. The port health officer and tho. Customs authorities will then board tho vessel, and no communication whatever will be allowed with tho.steamer until pratique is granted by the health officer. This course is being tried as an experiment, and if a saving of time Tesults, similar procedure will probably be adopted in connection with all passenger steamers arriving from Sydney.
