It is unlikely that the Southern Cross will leave to-day, but it is likely to do so to-morrow. METEOROLOGIST’S REPORT. WEATHER CONDITIONS DISTURBED. (By Telegraph.—Special to Standard.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 6. It is unlikely that the Tasman flight can commence for another two days at least. This is tho conclusion reached on to-day’s survey of the weather by the Government meteorologist, Dr. Kidson. Tho conditions, he informs the “Standard’s” correspondent, are still very disturbed in the Tasman sea with a very low barometer in the southern portion, where it is down to 28.97. This is reported from the steamer Manuka, which Is nearly in the centre of the southern part of the Tasman, en route from Melbourne to Wellington, and about half way on the journey. Tho winds are freshening from tho north of New Zealand and are expected to increase to gale force in places. The weather will become unsettled and general rain is probable.
