A curio of great interest may at present be seen at Port Chalmers. It is a Maori canoe, which was recently excavated from the bed of a lagoon at Ivai. Ivai beach by Mr. T. Harrison, who has now brought the canoe to Port Chalmers. The length of the canoe is about 14ft, and it is in a good state of preservation. One gentleman who has seen it since it was brought to Port Chalmers reckons it. has been hewn out of a kikatea tree, which grows in the North Island, and that it may _ possibly have broken adrift in the North and been carried down to the South Island by wind and tide. , On the other hand the canoe may have been made where it was found, for in that vicinity Mr Harrison has at various times picked up a number of greenstone axes and chisels, which the drifting sands near the seashore have left exposed after storms have passed.. A feature of this canoe in the evident skill that has been exercised in the shaping of it, this being the more noticeable at the prow and the stern. When you feel a colds coming on, don’t wait until it has gripped you, but take NAZOL at once.* THROAT HABITS. A cough, a hack in clearing the throat may become habits. They ber gin with a cold and come, automatically after the cold has finished. A slight exercise of the will and the use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will soon rid you of this constant annoyance. Chamberlam’s Cough Remedy has a promp specific action on the throat or air passages. Sold by E. H. Smith, Chemist Gisborne.* At the recent election in Wellington, missiles ip the shape of stale eggs, etc., were plentiful. One gentleman, standing in a prominent position, not far from Mr Massey, received the full force of the impact in the eye. Later the perpetrator of this crime apologised to the offended party, stating in explanation that he had meant the egg for Mr Massey. ‘‘Well,” replied the receiver of the apology, “I wished you had meant it for me, and hit Mr. Massey.” It is one thing to call oneself an “Eyesight Specialist,” it is quite another thing to possess the “proofs.” My qualifications bear the light of day.—HAROLD A. ARMSTRONG, “London Qualified” Optician, Gisborne.
