A catamaran is at. present receivin its finishing touelies in one of th large sheds near the estuary (says the Southland Times, of Invercargill). Tt is. now seven weeks since Mr E. E. Valpy commenced to build this un-usual-looking craft with its twin boats. So far, however, he lias been successful iu making a. thorough and workmanlike job. The weight will be somewhere in the vicinity of 18cwt. She is 18ft long, with an Bft beam. Mr Valpy intends to use heir for deep-sea fishing, which is rather remarkable when the weight and size, of the vessel is taken into consideration. Questioned as to the advantages of a catamaran over the ordinary type of boat. Mr Valpy stated- that it was- practically unsinkablc, and iin any case was faster and more easily handled than any other boat of its size. Soreness in chest and bronchia, tubes soothed by “Nnzol.” Loosens phlegm; disinfects air passages. Sure remedy for coughs and colds; 60 doses 1/6. —2 o aq
