The Postmaster-General (Hon. H. G. Ell) says he is satisfied that the advantages of the Act are not yet as -widely known as they ought to be, but the Department estimates that at the end of twelve months from the coming into operation of Che Act there will be nearly the number on the pension list that was estimated, namely, 3000. Thirty-six years ago a public road was made through Mr. William Cook's farm at North Makara, and a promise was then made that it would be fenced by the local authorities. Nothing, however, has yet been done in that direction, and Mr. Cook thinks it is high time that the present local governing body should carry out the work. Yesterday morning he waited upon the Makara County " Council, and asked that the fencing should be done as soon as possible, and after some discussion it wa# decided to, defer consideration until next meeting, in order to enable Mr. Cook to bring evidence as to the old agreement to fence. • During the conference of Spiritualists, held at Cristchhurch last week, a draft Bill to protect good spiritualistic mediums and to prohibit quacks, was discussed.

Unpalatable as the recent utterances of Mr. Churohill in reference to the naval situation in Europe undoubtedly is to our rivals on the Continent, its main effect has been to satisfy the nation and consolidate the faith which it reposes in those by whom it has entrusted the solemn charge of the maintenance of the nation's naval BiipH6taa.oy. Tkab they will see to it that the ' British Navy is kept supreme, this statesman like policy leaved no doubt. It seems that_ tiie oversea dominions are more fully realising that the economies of our vast colonial trade are only secured by the unchallenged character of the British Navy. This is simply illustrated by the welcome given to a very large shipment of "Dreadnought' Serges" at C. Smith, Ltd., Cuba-street — solid British weaves, fast navy dye. These goods present themselves to you as the very last work in navy serges. Six qualities— 3s 3d, 3s 6d, 3s 9d, 3s lid, 4s -3d, 4» lid yd.— Adrt.
