NEW HARBOUR LIGHTS.
MINISTER OF MARINE APPROVES. The Minister of Marine (Hon. F. M. "B. Fisher) has approved of the new arrangement of the guiding lights in tho entrance of Port Nicholson, recommended'bv the harbourmaster (Captain John- ■ 6ton), and approved by the board t at. its last meeting. Tho now idoa provides for the orection' ofi>two pile i boacons with -white oconlting lights, the one on ' Hope Shoal, on the eastorn side of tlie , deep-water channel, almost opposite Point Gordon, and the other to ■be erected about a third of tho distance • between Ward and Somes Island. The 1 first light will indioate clearly the course of the channol, without tho risk'a fixed light affords of becoming mistakon for a shore light, and the second (and most northerly) light will indicate tho turning point intri the harbour. With a liigh and low light at Pencarrow, two guiding occulting lights, marking the channol, and the leading light on Somes Island, with its red (western) and green (eastern) sectors, tho lighting of the entrance of Wellington Harbour is expected to bo quite satisfactory to master mariners.
