Evidently the seagulls are also the enemy of trout in New Zealand rivers us well as the shag (reports the Wanganui Herald). While a Wanganui resident was standing on the wharf, he noticed a seagull dart down to the water. A little later a large trout floated to the surface, evidently stunned by the blow from the gull. Later, when the fish was lifted from the water it turned the scale at 31b.

Says the Marlborough “F.xpress” of Friday last:--Two firemen, a hose, and the borough wafer apply furnished no little amusement ;. d a good deal of indignation (it all depended on the point of view) at about II o’clock this morning. The fire hose had been connected up to the .main in Market Street South, *and the two men were holding it, shooting a jet of water into the air. There was a working pressure with the one load of about llOlbs to the square inch, and the hose got out oi band, the nozzle swinging across the road. The crowd on the footpath dived lor the nearest i doorways. Some were successful in | obtaining shelter, but others were drenched to the skin. The water shot into Mr Whiteford’s pharmacy, and played on the front oi Mr Thomas’s ! drapery shop, the stock hanging outside j getting a thorough wetting.
