INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.
CHRISTCHULCII SCHOOLS CLOSED. BUSINESS STAFFS DEPLETED. CHRISTCHURCH, July 3. Six primary schools in Christchurch and the suburbs will not open to-morrow morning owing to the prevalence of influence, and there is a probability that decisions will be made to close some other schools when poor musters of scholars arrive tomorrow morning. Many scholars have been sadly disorganised by the present widespread epidemic; which has been specially prevalent among children. The sickness is not severe, however, and there is no general alarm. The city offices and factories have all been running with depleted staffs, and even the football suffered yesterday because of the influenza casualties.
