The Government Meteorologist last night issued the following forecast: —There is a moderate cyclone in the central Tasman Sea. An extensive anti-cyclone is still situated east of New Zealand and over Australia. Winds moderate to fresh and increasing north-easterly to northerly may be expected later, backing to southerly north of Westport and Kaikoura, and elsewhere easterly to south- easterly. Rough seas may be looked for north of East Cape and rising soon in all New Zealand waters. Strong and squally northerly winds and rough to high seas expected over the eastern area of the Tasman Sea and southerly winds over the western area gradually extending eastwards, weather becoming cloudy and unsettled with midst and rain developing in most districts. Warm temperatures may be experienced at first, but later a cool change.

As the river was running bank high yesterday, anglers in the Oreti met with little success, although the conditions were favourable for fishermen using the “garden fly.”

To commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the Forest Hill Presbyterian Church a special service was held yesterday morning, when there was a large attendance of members and friends who had been associated with the church in earlier years.

About 3000 quinnat salmon, with an average weight of approximately twelve pounds, are said to have been taken from the Waimakariri river since the season opened by the three men holding netting licenses and by anglers. The former are credited with having secured two-thirds of the total. The season, which is now ending, has been the best experienced.

A Te Kuiti bootmaker had an amusing experience last week when a lady from the country, accompanied by her son, paid a visit to his shop to purchase a pair of boots for her offspring. After several pairs had been tried, Willie at last found one which fitted him, and the price of the footwear was named. The lady then remarked, “Well, I’m a wee bit Scotch, and Willie ana I will take a walk round the toon and consider the matter.”

Parental affection and admiration are dear to the young, and very likely the boy who received a birthday present of a double furrow plough to work with on his dad’s farm felt grateful (writes M.A.T. in the Auckland Star). The boy (now grown to manhood) speaking of this early parental appreciation, mentioned the case of one of his dear old dad’s farming contemporaries who would never under any circumstances permit a 12-year-old child to milk more than 15 cows twice a day.

Shortage of water on some of the farms in country districts has caused inconvenience this season in regard to dipping (states the Wanganui Herald). To dip a big mob of sheep requires considerable water, and as some of the dips are supplied froutanks, the quantity has not been available and dipping has had to go by the board. It is understood that the department granted extensions of ainie in cases of emergency, but that no further extensions will be granted after the end of the month.

“There are great commercial possibilities in the export of eels,” said Mr C. A. Whitney, retiring president of the Auckland Acclimatization Society, at the annual meeting. “Millions of eels go down the rivers every year to the sea. Why should we not send smoked or frozen eels to England, where they would command high prices?” Mr Whitney said the society should consider engaging in such an undertaking so that additional funds would be available for stocking the rivers with fish.

In spite of the great increase in the popularity of motor-cars and motor-cycles, the humble bicycle is now more universally used than ever before according to a Dun. edin dealer. “Whereas we once considered ourselves lucky if we sold 300 bicycles In a year, we now sell 800,” he told a Daily Times reporter, “and our firm is only one of a number which have had a similar experience.” One large Auckland firm, he added, now sold an average of over 2000 bicycles a year.

Two cases of infantile paralysis, an adult and a child, have been admitted to the Timaru Hospital, states a Press Association message from that centre.

A Wellington Press Association message states: —The Government is launching a comprehensive programme for scientific research in the pig industry. Four main sections are embraced in the investigations proposed—experimental feeding, recording of quality of carcases tests, and investigating pork and baciin-curing processes.

“You are a happy people out here,” said Mr A. G. Robertson, a London visitor, in Dunedin. “Your social and industrial troubles are very small ones in comparison with those of the Old World. As far as I can see they are confined to a few petty jealousies such as the rivalry between the North and South Islands.” It was a great change, he said, to move about a country without having one’s pleasure in travelling marred by the constant sight of extreme poverty and degradation which were so common in many countries of the Ola World.

The new law relating to the sale of tobacco and smoking requisites becomes effective in the Boroughs of Invercargill and South Invercargill to-day. Henceforward all shopkeepers who sell tobacco or smoking requisites—whether they are principally engaged in this business or not —- will require to close their premises on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 6 p.m., on Saturdays at 9 p.m., and on Wednesdays, the statutory closing day, at 1 p.m. Saturday may be observed as the statutory closing day, however, if written notice of this intention is given to the Inspector of Factories. In addition to requiring the observance of these special closing hours, all shopkeepers who engage in the sale of tobacconists’ goods are required to give notice to the inspector that they sell such goods. Notice by tobacconists ostensibly trading as such is unnecessary, however, while the provisions do not apply to hotels, private hotels, or boardinghouses so long as any smoking requisites sold are sold only to bona fide lodgers.

It looked like the map of Australia. An assegai wound over a foot long across the front of the body looked like miraculously avoided death; and the lion’s chew mark below the shoulder looked as if it must have been painful. Oh, yes.
