Among sightseers caught off their guard yesterday afternoon by th© rain were hundreds of Kelbum and Karori resident*. They waited to see the troops march wharf wards, and then they charged for home. This impulse seized so many at ahout the same time that Rel-burn-avenuo soon became filled— tl tightest sqeeze ever witnessed in th narrow thoroughfare. Many of th waiters would have preferred 4o walk w the hill, but the squalls drove them t the cable cars, which had record load However, before they reached shelte scores of persons, wedged in the iv covered passage, had no lack of showci. 1 Before his departure for Sydney, fro. I Auckland Mr. Harry Lauder said h attributed in a large measure the succo? of his New Zealand tour to the splendi' work of the Scottish Societies, wno hat entertained him, and done so much {■ make his visit to this Dominion, a sui cess. As a small souvenir of his vi= he is giving a. silver shield to be cor peted for annually by the Pipe Bands 01 New Zealand for the best bagpipe playing, leaving the entire arrangements in the hands of the Wellington Scottish Society. Sir Douglas Mawson will leave Sydney for Wellington on 2nd October, and begin a flying visit of the Dominion in Christchurch on 7th October. It was originally his intention to make a lengthy tour next year on his way back from America, but owing to complications arising through the great war, he has postpohed his South African tour, and thus is able to visit New Zealand on his way to London. He will be a passenger by the Remuera on 22nd October. Sir Douglas Mawson, having discarded all notes and aids, has developed into quite an effective speaker, while hie views ; still pictures as well as films, are said to be of remarkable beauty and interest. The story of Mawson's thirty days' journey alone through the terrible Antarctic regions, the Bole survivor of his party, should prove a thrilling narrative. The net proceeds of Sir Douglas Mawson's lecture tour here and in America are to bo devoted to discharging the outstanding debts on the Australasian Antarctic expedition. "It is difficult to say how rumours about the war originate, but in Calcutta they can easily be traced to their source-"or at least one of the most likely sources," states the Englishman. "It is the petty traders who benefit most by exaggerated rumours about sea fights and land battles, and naturally they assiduously cultivate these rumours. One shopkeeper in the New Market found a gold mine in the rumour that every Kremliman in France and abroad had been called out. The moral for the shopkeeper was there were no Frenchmen left to manufacture perfumes, and the logical result was a rise in the price of perfumery." Court Sir George Grey, 3118, A..0.F., held its quarterly meeting at the Foresters' Hall, Lambton-quay, C.R. Bro. O. W. Key presiding. A letter was received from Dr. W. J. M'Lean, informing the Court that he had joined the Expeditionary Forces, and that Dr. H. Allen would act in his place. P.D.C.R. Bro. G. Key gave lub fortnightly report re dispensary, and was accorded a hearty vote of thanks. He was also elected delegate to the yearly conference, which will be held in December. One member was proposed for initiation, and one member joined by clearance. An executive order, iamed recently, pro. tides rules and regulations for speed in tho Panaana Canal. For instance, vessels are limited to six knots per hour in the Culebra Cut, while, when approaching turns, they will maintain tho slowest speed that will enable them to keep their headway. In Go tun Lake, however, in tho 1000-foot chahnels, a speed of 15 knots an hour will bo allowed; in the 500-foot channels, 10 knots. Everywhere else iv the waterway, in the Miraflores kikes abd looks, and in tho entrance to tho ports, tho six-knot rulo will prevail. The recent epidemics ot smallpox And diphtheria would i certainly not have been so extensive if it were more genera ilv known that disinfection of th© mouth protects from all ailments contracted through the throat and respiratory tract. Three (3) drops of SANDER'S EUCALYPTt EXTRACT on p, a pieoo of loafsugar disinfect* the entire buccal cavity.
