An imvention wtoioli should prove of considerable interest in nautical circles, has been perfected by Mr. J. Jamsen, chief officer of the steamer' Prophet, now in Port Adelaide. Its object is to indicate whether or not a vessel is out of tnim. and, if eo, to what extent. It is efficacious in tho ca«e of ships at eea or moored to a vrhn-vf.
