A Costly Sneeze.
For most people a' sneeze m the course of a day's work is a sneeze and no more, but. a well-known Rangitikei bushman found -it an expensivc and1 inconvenient. business. While being transported in a cradle over a ropeway spanning the upper reaches of the Rangitikei River he was dielivered' of a violent sneeze and had the mortiflcation of seeing his upper denture flying through the air to disapp.ear into dense ibush 409 feet below. Hoyrs ! of sear,ch proved fruitless and the unlucky bushman is now contemplatipg costs, -including the price oi new teeth and time lpst having . them fitted, which he estimates a£ the equivaient of' a month's earn- ; ings. The fact that it happened on All Fool's Day he regards as no1 entirely inappropriate.
