[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. —CJPYRIGHT.,' INFLUENZA FIGURES. (Received This Day at 12.25 p.m.) SDNEY, This Day. Influenza deaths in the Metropolitan area show an appreciable decline in the past few days. Yesterday they fell to sixteen. The previous average for some time was over thirty. In the country, however, it is more virulent and continues to spread. The Federal health authorities tested 3,150 cases to prove the efficiency, or otherwise, of inoculation. Two thousand were of. those not inoculated, of which thirty-four per cent, contracted the disease in a severe form and eleven per cent. died. 1150 inoculated, whereof sixteen per cent, contracted severely and. three per cent. died. These figures satisfied the quarantine authorities both as regards contracting it in' a severe form, and the prospects of a fatal termination, of the value of inoculation.
