I Tlu> Wanganui electoral roll contains 7199 names, as against 5908 in 1902. 'lyti<i Napier Telegraph remarks :—'.lt: — '.It is } said that members of a certain football team who were victorious in a jmatch on Saturday not ■ a very grdat distance from Napier gave a Celjestial fruit-selier V warm time on Saiurday ; evening in their endeavours to 1 array him with their colours "just for luck." . T|he '-V s potato crop at Qnehurig-ai threatens to become almost a total failure this season (says the Auckland} . Herald ) . Al though spraying seems to have worked fairly satisfactorily in a. few instances, , m the majority of cases it' has failed. Several of fthe larger growers have ... indulged in ionsjderabje spraying on up-to-date m^hpids, /bxit \lvave» not boon able to cope with the scourge. 6n Sunday (says the Naseby paper) a lady and gentleman from the country visited the Cemetery to place some flowers on. their child's grave. After doing so they took g walk round* ; the ground,' and on returning to- the grave found that the flowers had been stolen. The only other visitors in the Cemetery at the time were so|ne girls- who were; olh enough to jhaVe known .t hat} .their action would! | cause pain to the friends who placed tho flowers there. ■ The Defence f Department has issued an! order that in all cases where Volunteers, while in attaining . camp, become sick, or « are injured while porfbrining some military duty, they are to- be shown on the parade state as "sick!" In every cas,e a medical certificate that the Volunteer was unable to! attend, parades, by reason of sickness or injury caused by, or received on, military duty, must accompany the parade states oh which hie is shown as sick. Capitation in such cases will be allowed. $everal cyclists rose in ! their wrath at the ''good! roads meeting" () at Ohristchurch and denounced the prevalent custom: of dealing gently with bicycle ' thieves. "If a man steal's a horse valued at about five bob a leg he gets two years, but if he steals a bicycle worth £20, what is the res-Ut?" said one speaker. "Probation," answered a voice! from the pit. Them away from the 'back a deep, stentorian voice clove the momentary stillness, : "I'd hang him !" it declared, with blood-curdling ferocity, ringing in every accent, and the theatre) rocfkedj \vith merriment. ':-;- ' - ; A young; Aucklander who- is now i making a trip thrbugh the Friendly Islands writes that in company withj two { others he borrowed a sailing , Boat at Vayau and visited one of ihej noted caves. It ■'■ was, he says, .a.j grand sight, the cave being big enough for the ship to -float in, if she could be got through the. entrance. Inside, the cave is the most brilliant coloiiring^ f almost every -colour, and all around the walls, which are . ofj hardirock,! 'are painted Snathes, chiefly those of Swedish and Norwegian sailors, -i some of them dated 1663. - • When a ■divorce ciase was ddsposed 1 of at Wanganui, defendant said "I must say that your 'honour is very Inased."! "Arrest that man/ - ordered the Chief Jaistice, who remarJsed : "I will not , have the > Cotirt insulted *>y hlackguar^s like you." The , offender was taken, down to the cells, where he remained till the business of the Court was concluded: He was then brought up and aSked he shotdd not be i committed! fei}* contempt of] Court. He . Rxnrossed , pontfition, and said that he had spoken in the heat of -the moment. Hisl ' Honor addressed ; to; Lim som3 words of advice, told him to keep away from liqiuor, which had apparently influenced him, and allowed him to depart. The following gems are excerpted from Professor Frank Parsons' (ofBoston, U.S.A.) book entitled " The Story of' New Zealand." He says:--"About' 'half-way (from San Francisco) we cross the , equator, and the needle of 6'ur compass turns towards the South Pole '"Also 'Among the curiosities- of the animal kingdom there are several that interest the traveller in New Zealand. Imagine a land crab that- climbs trees Tor a living. He devotes himself to the cpcoanut palm ; climbs to the top of the tallest, detaches the juicy nvt is, letting them fall to, the ground, and then comes jdbwn to eat them at his leisure at the foot" of the palm." This is indeed a story, about New Viealand; a harsher term might even be applied. Whiteley Churchj/Sunday , October 1 , Preacher, Rev. J. ]*§■: Buttle.
