The Pechugin aeroplane is en exh ; bition this week in the premises lateJy occupied by Lyons's Restaurant, TViihsstreet. Its peculiar and original features I are readily recognisable — the aero-suction central tube ; the propellers revolving in : reverse directions, the flapping wings and the double tail. The flying machine generally has created a good deal of inter- ' cst, and its prospects have been widely discussed. The exhibition will only continue to-day. i Good progress is being made with the 1 erection of the Anglican Church at East- i bourne, in accordance with the design of 1 Mr. F. de J. Clere, and the contractor i (Mr. J. H. Nimmo) will probably com- ' plete his work early this month. The < walls have been built of cammerated ' concrete, a novel feature in church con- ! struction in this district. The building < is lined with oiled jarrah and the roof is * composed of asbestos slates. The church < has a spire. There is to be seating accommodation for 140 worshippers. * A big effoi-t will bo made to raise the | Anchor Shipping Company's steamer \ Koi, which capsized and sank near Nel- •, son on Wednesday afternoon.
