A TEMPORARY LULL

A remarkably sudden change from storm to sunshine took place yesterday afternoon. In a> few minutes the boisterous northerly had died down, and the sun had soon scattered the dark clouds which had hung over the city during the morning. However, like most of' these sudden changes, the weather did not slacken off for long, and this morning the wind blew almost as boisterously as yesterday morning, tat this time from the south, bringing with it a keen blast from the Antarctic. Heavy rain fell during the night, but there was not so very much to-day, but it was of the driving variety, which finds its way into every nook and cranny. Fences rendered shaky by the previous blow have now been razed to the ground. In some cases telephone and telegraph wires have become crossed, but a little inconvenience at times has been the only result. There have been a few "faults" in connection with the electric lighting, but nothing serious lias taken place. Early this morning some more earth came down where the big slip occurred recently near the Northland tunnel. A few baiTowloads had to be removed from off the tramway line, but the service was not interrupted.
