CLEMENT L. WRAGGE.

Ou Monday night at the Princess Theatre there will take place the Jong awaited appearance of Mr Cleirent

Wragge in x Hokitika. It ' will be re-

membered what great disappointment was felt on the Coast Because- Mr Wragge did not include if in his itinerary on the occasion of his previous visit, but we understand that his passing over was unavoidable and due solely to lack of -time, as Mr Wragge had important scientific engagements to keep in other parts of the world, tlis subject on Monday night, "A voyage Through the Universe" is an intensely interesting one and will be illustrated by Mr Wragge's magnifoent and much-talked of selection of heavenly views, taken at the great Observatories, and kept up-to-date by constant additions from all parts of the world.

To many people no doubt one of the

most interesting features of l\fr , Wragge's visit will be the fact that

Ie will introduce for the first time in

New Zealand actual specimens of radium. "When one meditates on the w&rvellous activity the discovery of radium has imparted to chemical investigation and the wonderful euros which we have every reason to believe will shortly be attributed to its remarkable "ether rays,"- it "makes one wish that we could \take a peep "forward into the next ten years and see what fresh marvels the world of scientific research will discover. ■ . -•--*„ But in the meantime it is to be hoped that -no one interested will ueglect seeing the "radium" specimens exhibited by Mr Wragge, as the present is a unique opportunity, which may not occur again for very many years. Popular prices are being charged. Seats for both Monday and Tuesday nights, may be reserved at Mrs Browue's,
