The electric light played a little prank on a minister in one of Wanganui's suburban churches on a recent Sunday evening. The minister was reading a passage from tho Scriptures, and had just said, "and there shall be everlasting light,” when the electric light failed and the church was plunged into darkness. Even the most solemn in the congregation could not restrain a smile when such unconscious humour occurred. Henry Colyer rode a motor cycle between a ladder and the wall it stood up against. A rope dangling from the ladder. became caught in his back wheel. The signwriter at the top of the ladder sptnt the following few weeks in hospital. In the Magistrate’s Court nt Wellington on Tuesday last Colyer was fined £4 for negligent driving, and £1 for not 'being in possession of a driver’s license. .
