The Union Company's fine cargo stef nicr Wairuna, which has been missin Bince May 30, has now been given up a lost, and a Magisterial inquiry will b held into the seaworthiness of the vesse and, to collect the names of the officer and crew. It will be remembered tha the Wairuna left Auckland on May 31 1917, for San Francisco, and that no wor of her has since Deen received. The in quiry will be held at Auckland, and th' assessors will be Captains Adarnson am Reed, of that city. t A MARVELLOUS INVENTION. Captain A. Inglis, F.E.S., cx-harboui master of Port Adelaide, has, jays an ei change, just completed a wonderful ma chine for gauging and predicting tide: if itecess'ary for 20 yeims ahead. The prii ciplp is that of Lord Kelvin, but wherpa the famous Kelvin machine in use in Lor don cost • between. £3000 and £4000, Oap tain Inglis's invention, which iB simplicity itself,. costs a fraction of that amount The machine is now set for the niidnigh preceding January 1, 1919. The results ar obtained by harmonic analysis, and som idea of the fineness of the work in thi machine may be gleaned from the fac that the captain has obtained ouo curv of 1100 th of a foot. A pecularity of For Adelaide, known as "dodging tides," ha: been successfully overcome. Captain In glis, who not only planned but made hii wonderful machine himself, is 72 years o age. ■ MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Mr. E. J. Pone, fifth engineer on thi Mouowai, has come ashore. Mr. P.
