Dead leaves falling out of an almost clear skv was a phenomenon extremely puzzling to observers’' in Albert Park, Auckland, short.’y after I o’clock last fsat-urdav (says an exchange). The leaves could be seen falling from a great- height. Several minutes were occupied in their descent, the. leaves slowly turning over and over in the perfectly still atmosphere and bright sunshine. It is possible they were caught up by a whiriwimt. In the .surge chamber at the Manga - hao hydro-electric works several rainbow trout are imprisoned, having evidently come through the mi' 1 e-long tunnel from the open stream. This fact was referred to by the secretary of tiie Wellington Acclimatisation Society (Mr 0. T. Dasani) at a meeting of the society. “They can’t get out because the force of the water is too great for them,” he remarked. “It is a. good ,thing to see them there,” added a member.
