The Evening News office at Napier is to be converted into a bicycle factory. Formerly the building was a church, but the bike is mightier than the Church or the Press, and both go down before the wheel. The Wellington Post states: —There was a record attendance at Mr Hislop's meeting at Petone last evening. The hall was crowded as closely as people could stand, the windows were filled with peering faces, and far out into the road there was a large crowd of people unable to obtain admission. The noise and uproar in the hall was at times deafening, and could be heard a quarter of a mile away. Fortunately the crowd was good-humoured, and although two boiled potatoes and a tomato were thrown in the direction of theplatforn, this was the only demonstration of physical violence. The rousing choruses indulged in were a novel and very effective form of interupting the proceedings, and even the ladies present, some of whom were naturally a little nervous, could not fail to be amused at the singers, who rendered some of their selections tunefully enough and with much spirit. Most of the noisy ones were young fellows who could not have been in possession of the franchise for any great length of time. Mr Hislop's determined attitude obtained for him a hearing of a kind, although the frequency of the interruptions, of course, interferred with the continuity of his remarks. The entire assets of a Melbourne bankrupt were nine children. Tne creditors acted magnanimously and let him keep them. At New Plymouth to-day 160 tons of dairy broduce was shipped at the breakwater for transhipment to the ss. Maori at "Wellington. Mr P. C. Kirk, Mayor of Tetone, announces himself as a candidate for the suburbs seat in the interests of the Government. The timber mills at Northern Wairoa are working night and day.

The Dunedin Star is '• in a position to state that no opposition will be offered to the re-election of Sir M. O'Rorke for the Speakership. And it is an open secret that Sir Maurice intends at the close of the present Parliament to bid farewell to the representative Chamber." At Tengae, near Hotorua, wedding festivities on a most elaborate scale are going on amongst the Maoris. Eight blushing (?) brides were led to the altar by as many bridegrooms. It is interesting to note that no intoxicating liquor of any description was to be seen. A complete radiograph of the human body measuring six feet six inches has been obtained by Professor Zelmder, of Zurich, the inventor of a new Crookes tube capable of working at a greater distance from the subject than those formerly used, and hence producing much sharper pictures. The chairman of the Auckland Harbor Board, Mr Napier, has given notice to move at next meeting of the Board " That the secretary be instructed to write to Cassell and Co., publishers, London, repuesting them to withdraw certain statements concerning the Auckland harbor published by them in a book called " Pictorial New Zealand." Mr 11. W. Northcroft. S. M., was tendered a pleasant surprise at his residence, Epsom Auckland, yesterday morning, when he was waited upon and presented with ahandsomegold watch suitably inscribed on behalf of his friends and neighbors. He left yesterday for his new sphere of duty at Wanganui. It appears that the ship Auckland was in greater danger of being driven ashore during the recent heavy gale at Napier than most people were aware of. In addition to losing an anchor, it was discovered on examination ot the remaining cable that one links had split lengthways in three different places. Had the link parted, nothing could have saved the ship from going ashore. — Post. According to the Marlborough Express, Mr A. Martin, a Wanganui photographer, has discovered a process by which the pictures art' mad.) to stand out in high relief, giving the subject a remarkably lifelike appearance.
