A Wanganui resident when commenting on the ’quakes at Taupo stated (says tho “Herald”) that over 20 years ago he visited a relative in that locality who had a studio on the shores of the lake. In tho studio a bullet was suspended by a string to the ceiling and during the time of the visit this was almost in perpetual motion owing to earthquakes. Ono night there was a heavy shake, and tho Wanganui visitor then noticed that he could see the stars through the roof. Ho remarked to his relative that tho roof had been shifted, and the latter replied, casually: “Oh, don’t worry about’that, for the next shake will shift it back again.” For Bronchial Coughs take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. —Advt.
