The Dominion Meteorologist last night issued the following information: A slight secondary low pressure wave is crossing the Dominion this afternoon. An anti-cyclone of slight intensity covers the northern and western areas of the Tasman. Winds, northerlies prevailing at first in some areas east of the main ranges, otherwise moderate to strong west to south. Seas in New Zealand waters rather rough about Cook and Foveaux Straits. Elsewhere moderate. In the eastern Tasman, moderate south-westerly winds; mod .rate seas. Weather- mainly fail- to cloudy and cool showers likely at times, however, at many places, especially in the South Island and the extreme north.

An inquest into the circumstances surrounding the death of John Cowan, aged 67, a tramway employee, who was found dead at the tramsheds on Wednesday, was opened before the Coroner, Mr E. C. Levvey, yesterday. Formal evidence of identification was taken and the inquest adjourned sine die.

The practice of marking statues and memorials, which was brought into greater prominence by the initialling of the tablet to the memory of the late Mi- Duncan Rutherford, placed on the top of Conical Hill, Hanmer, has been fairly common in some centres, but so fax- as is known Christchurch memorials and statues have not suffered. Many of the statues here are of bronze, an unyielding metal to mark, but even others have not been touched. A City Council officer io whom a Sun reporter spoke the other day could only recall one case of interference with a statue—the decoration of Rolleston with a bowler hat!

Down on the farm it happened—the Onehunga farm, as the playing field out there is called. A holiday cricket match between the relief workers and the ex-servicemen was in progress, and the fieldsman at square-leg had already muffed two catches. His antics were a source of amusement to the other side. Then a third catch came his way. He reached overhead, but the ball slipped through his fingers. “Butterfingers,” the wjeket-keeper began to roar, but the epithet was left half-uttered. The ball hpd dropped into the crown of square-leg’s weatherstained Stetson, and with an elaborate gesture square-leg lifted his hat, and, offering it to the umpire, gurgled. “How’s that?”

Although evex-y effort is being made to encourage recruiting in the New Zealand volunteer forces, and although conditions are being made as attractive as possible in many ways, there has been no thought of experimenting with a new type of uniform, such as that which has been put on trial in Great Britain. Fresh supplies of the ordinary territorial uniforms, however, are likeb- to be provided shortly, and the units in the various cities hope to increase theix- efficiency and appearance by issuing good-fitting and regularly coloured suits to their men. The Government has recently consented to provide the men with an extra pair of ordinary slack trousers for social and walkinp out purposes, tc replace the riding trousers and puttees, which are apt to be uncomfortable on such occasions.

Startled almost out of her wits by a report like the discharge of a gun, a woman resident of Blenheim spent a considerable time just after breakfast last Saturday in hunting for the cause of the noise. She even went outside to see if the chimney had cracked. Eventually she located the break—a window split from top to bottom, evidently by the “cold snap” that was responsible for so much unpleasantness on that day.
