A beautiful memory left behind Of a loving son, so good and kind ; We have lost, but Heaven has gained One of the best the world contained. Do not ask us If wo miss him, There" is such a vacant space ; Can we ever forget his footsteps And his sweet, familiar face? As we gnze upon his picture that hangs upon the wall, His smiles and his welcomes we often recall. We miss him and mourn him in silence unseen, , And dwell on the memories of days that have been. —lnserted by bls loved ones.

While motoring in the Wairoa Gorge recently, Mr M. Baigent, of Nelson, had a narrow escape from serious injury, if not death (states the Evening Mail). He was rounding a sharp corner of the road about a mile from The Forks on the Brightwater side, when the front wheels of the car (a small one) skidded. Before a recovery could be made the car went over the roadside into the river, about 150 ft below. Mr Baigent, who was the only occupant, fortunately' just had time to jump out of the car before it went over, and he escaped injury. ‘The rip of the tide under the Sumner pier is attracting the attention of visitors (says the Lyttelton Times). At half ebb it strikes the piles with unusual force, and amongst the woodwork below churns up like a mill race. Residents of long standing do not remember seeing this before. The development of a sand bank just opposite has concentrated the stream into a narrow channel, the middle of which now passes under the end of the pier. So strong is the flow that a rowing boat can scarcely move against it, while a bather getting into it would soon be in serious difficulties.
