The series of weekly dances under th;: auspices of the Scott ist Society was continued at the Scottish Hall last night, there being a large attendance. Musicwas supplied by Mr J. Dods, and Mr G. Downey officiated as M.C. Supper was provided, and altogether a successful function resulted. It is understood that CSisbomc will shortly have another moving picture enterprise. A -private company has been formed, and the necessary arrangements about films have been completed. The halL behind the three-storied building which is being erected next to il.r K. D. Smith's chemist's shop is to be utilised for the exhibitions, and an up-to-date plant will be installed. The new concern will probably open m a few weeks' time, and day and night exhibitions are proposed. A serious outbreak of typhoid fever has occurred m New Plymouth. Last Wednesday's Taranaki Herald has the following:' "In consequence of the further cases of typhoid fever m the St. Aubyn district, Mr F. C J. Bellringer this morning sent notice, on behalf -if the local health authority, to the de partment at Wellington/ stating that the recent outbreaks baffled them, and asking for an expert to be sent up. In reply, a telegram was received this afternoon stating that a health official from Wellington would visit New Ply mouth on Friday." Dr. Valintine is now visiting the district. A thrilling touch of the sea's uncertainty was experienced by "the crew of the White Star liner Zealandic, which reached Port Chalmers on Thursday last ' from London direct. As the big steamer was ploughing her way from the English Channel into the treacherous waters of the Bay of Biscay a big ship practi • cally dismasted hove into view. The Zealandic altered her course, and. steaming on. discovered that the ship was a \ deserted derelict. She was a large steel full-rigged ship., deeply loaded — the Oddersjas, of Christiansand. The furious sea- that was running prevented very close aproach, or the launching of n I lifeboat, and served to cause t}ie dere j I iict to roll and pitch heavily, the swing- 1 i ing yards accentuating the v despair of the fluttering code flag appeal to send lifeboats to save the crew. No crew were there. The bad weather quenched the prospect of salvage, and, sending wireless messages to Lloyd's and any ships that might be ; within range, the Zealandic reluctantly steered for the Southern Seas.
