See.—Advt, Several cases of infantile paralysis have been reported in Gisborne during the past week or two two deaths having occurred recently. A Gisborne medical man in conversation with a reporter, said that the infantile paralysis seemed to come in waves, at intervals estimated at about six years. The last one to come to New Zealand was a severe one, and there were over 80 cases in Gisborne alone . Advice has been received that Mr E. It .W. ltoper, at one time a well-known figure about Christchurch, died in London on Oct. 4th. Mr Roper landed in Lyttelton as a young man, and soon afterwards entered into business. Mr Roper was acting president of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce 1896-97, and was President in 1897-98.' He retired from business about 1907, and returned to England to live in London. He was a widower and 75 years of age. On® returned soldier has certainly made good since he arrived back in New Zealand (says the Wellington “Post”). During his convalescence in the hospital ho set out to study scientifically the production of coats that shall be waterproof. After some months’ experimenting he succeeded in producing a garment that withstood' every test of heat, pressure, exposure, and water, both hot and' cold. Finally he submitted his production to Mr Massey, the Prime .-''Minister, who was greatly interested and complimented the “Diggers” on establishing a new industry. Then he approached the Government Departments, and to-day, Post Office officials throughout New Zealand are wearing his coats, and, like Oliver Twist asking for more. The industry is established in Nelson where three factories at running at full capacity and the whole product for the next two years is already taken up.
