Rheumatic pains sometimes ac- , companiod the colds, but influenza in Us deadly form had certainly not made am reappearance, so far as their experience went. Mr A. 0. Harvey, one of the original prospectors in the .northern portion of Rhodesia, is at present in Wellington, states the ‘‘New Zealand Times,” resting preparatory to a journey to New uuinea. Hr Harvey was ousted from some mining ureas he took up on the .boulder (Western Australia) through some technical, but fatal, error ho had j committed in connection with the filing jof the applications.
