Jtbess association.! INVERCARGILL, This Day. Tho present opinion here is that dust brought down by the shower on Thursday night, came from tlie great storm in Central Australia. Although the wind was easterly and brisk here yesterday, it was noticed that there was a rapid "carry" from north of west, driving the upper statum of clouds at a great pace. The Southland Education Board has approved the Department's scheme for reclassification of teachers. CHRISTCHURCH, 1 This Day. Last night a heavy gale raged in the Oxford district, and latest reports state that bush fires are blazing fiercely. The air is thick with smoke and dusfc, and much anxiety is felt. THAMES, This Day. A fatal accident occurred on board the Wakatere. One of the crew, a young man named Ernest Prohl, aged 18, while working the steam winch raising the cargo, leaned forward to guide the winch. His foot slipped and he fell forward, h's knee striking the bar and .turning on the steam, which set the winch going rapidly. His left arm was drawn around the bairel of the winch and broken, and the base of his skull was fractured. He was unconscious when drawn out, and died on the way to the hospital. At the inquest a verdict of Accidentally Killed was returned. WAIPAWA, This Day. An extraordinary dense dust, apparently coming from the sea, enveloped a large area of the East Const this morning. When first seen it bore the appearance of light rain, but it gradually increased in density and spread until within a few miles of Waipawa. It cannot be accounted for by local causes.

To-morrow morning and afternoon the regular excursions to JCaraka Bay and Sealoun will be run by the Miramar Ferry Co.'s steamers Admiral and Loyalty._ The Loyalty will also run a round trip in the afternoon, calling at Miramar, Xaraka Bay and Seatoun.
