NEWS AND NOTES

An attack by a mako shark on a launch is reported by deep-sea fishermen. Mr E. O’Neill, of Ponsonby, in company with Mr R. Dickie, of Devonport, and friends, were fishing from the launch Wenna, off the Great Barrier, a few days ago, and hooked a large shark. Suddenly it turned and made a fierce attack on the launch. It deeply scarred the side of the boat, splintering the wood, before it was securely harpooned. It was then tied with a rope around its tail and towed into a bay. After the harpooning and the tow through the water it gave no sign of life, and was regarded as dead, but just as one of the party was adjusting the rope, it gave a violent kick, and slipped into the water, where it disappeared.

Two Wanganui boys, who are attending school at Oamaru, are very favourably impressed with His Excellency the Governor-General and Lady Bledisloe. The boys took a walk to the Oamaru station to see the 3 p.m. train pass through to Christchurch, no doubt feeling a bit homesick, and thinking that they would soon be travelling home by the same train for the Easter holidays. At the rear of the train they saw a carriage with large windows artistically draped, and the interior of the carriage luxuriantly furnished. Boy like, they were taking good stock of this carriage when along came what they described in a letter to their parents, as “a nice gentleman and lady.” Both entered into conversation with the boys, and inquired what school they belonged to, and promised to pay the school a visit later. They were two very surprised boys when, before leaving the platform, they learned that they had been talking to the Governor-General and his lady. They were the only civilians on the station, apart from the stationmaster and a stray porter or two.

The Napier-Wairoa road has developed from the worst to one of the finest metalled roads in Hawke’s Bay, according to the Hawke’s Bay Automobile Association’s service officer. In places, he says, it has a surface superior to that of some of the bituminised roads in the district. The work of improvement is still going on, corners being taken off and new deviations opened up.

CONSTIPATION. Laxlgen is a tonic laxative, and gentle aperient. It is particularly valuable, because it can be taken every night if necessary, as it cannot possibly do any harm, because it contains no drugs. It restores the bowels to healthy, normal action, and is the best remedy known for habitual constipation. It has also a gentle stimulating action on the liver. Recourse may be had to this medicine, when the bowels or liver are deranged, as evidenced by giddiness, headache, drowsiness, furred tongue and impure breath.
