WEATHER FORECASTING.

TO THE BDITOB. Bib,—Might I take the liberty to ask, through the medium of your paper, why the forecasts of Mr J. W. Paulin have been discontinued. I am not a meteorologist myself, but I have always taken an interest in them, and their' almost invariable correctness has struck me as something wonderful considering the very few instruments he has to work by—(l am going by a report in your own paper some time since. Mr Paulin is almost a comparative stranger to me); but I feel the loss of them very much, and, I am sure, so will many of your readers, not to speak of agriculturists, shippers, &c. I do not wish to be invidious, but there is no comparison between Captain Edwin's forecasts, at least for this part of the island, and Mr J. W. Paulin's. I suppose the area is too large, and a person is wanted for the south of New Zealand as well as one for the north. Mr Paulin, I am told, has been doing all this forecasting for the past two years free. This is not as it should be, and, as one probably of many, I think he ought to be recompensed for his services (if that is the cause of his withdrawal), and the Government petitioned to take this matter in hand' and give us a permanent meteorologist for the South Island. —I am, &c, Dunedin, July 20 Meteobologist.

T7IDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES

mere are two important things to be gained by education—one ia to show that we have learned, and the other is to hide what we don't know. There is one thing that people hare learned the wide world over, and that is that for rheumatism, neuralgia, sprains, burns, swellings, bruises, and similar ailments there is nothing that can compare with the renowned pain conqueror, Jst. Jacobs Oil —a safe, simple, and sure remedy", which has always been found to bririgimmediaterelief. ST. JACOBS OIL bases its claim to be the GREATEST REMEDY FOE PAIN oh the unimpeachable testimony of thousands of credible and reputable citizens of all parts of .■the-world and in every sphere of life.

The West Oxford correspondent of the Ohriatchurch Press writes that he recently examined the stomach of a horse which had died, belonging to Mr H. Nelson, of West Oxford.
