“NATIONAL SERVICE” SINCE 1872 The Public Trust Office has successfully administered all classes of estates since 1872. It- is permanent, and the performance of its duties is not dependent on the health or sickness of a single individual, as is the case with a private trustee.

The sight of a woman cyclist with a child about two years bld'Seated on the' fore part of the machine caused some thrills among the onlookers on the Greymouth Railway Station . platform* recently (says an exchange). The woman, sped down a hill at a break-neck pac° across the overhead bridge and-down the sharp incline on to the platform. Luckily there were no pedestrians on the incline heading to the station.
