TIME AND THE TIMEKEEPER.
There is a time for everything in the House of Representatives, and too much time for some things. The House yesterday was diligently considering certain messages from His Excellency the Administrator. In Committee it had decided that provision be made as recommended in two of these messages. Mr. Malcolm, Chairman of Committees, then read a further message recommending an amendment to the Kelson Harbour Act. The member for Nelson, (Mr. Atmore) had apparently also received a message (not from the Administrator) recommending that provision should jioL be made'in accordance with His Excellency's message. He showed signs of restlessness. The gallery clocks shoved half-past" five. Mr. Malcolm commenced lo put the question. "Time, Mv Malcolm." said Mr. Wilford, ActingLeader nf the Opposition. "jSo." said JJr. Malcolm, "it is not timo by my clock here." He proceeded jyiijj the
question. Mr. Atmore rose : "Well, Mr. Malcolm, I want an explanation." "The time has now arrived for the dinner adjournment," said Mr. Malcolm. "I will resume the 'chair at half-past seven."
