A shower of bank-notes bewildered a well-known business .man in Wellington on Saturday states the “Post. ’. He was standing outside'the Bank of Now Zealand in Lambton Quay, discussing the forthcoming afternoon’s sport with a friend, when three notes fluttered down to the footpath beside him. Uncertain whether this was a portent of the now political situation, or whether it was merely one of the vagaries of the windy city, lie acted instinctively in the best tradition of his profession, on the motto that it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good, and took charge of the notes, in trust, of course. TTis public-spirited action mot witlf its own reward, because almost immediately appeared one of his own clerks from his chambers in t-lic- buildings above, looking rather anxious. He bad seen the unweighted notes take* flight from liis desk.
