1,1 An arrival at Lyttelton on Saturday ' of unusual interest was the monster * live-masted barque 1‘ ranee, the largest sailing ship in tile world. She brought a cargo of 7000 tons of Welsh coal from 11 Newport, Monmouthshire, whence she 10 sailed on Ala roll 7th. Her cargo is for s ’ the Railways Department, her local *• agents being the New Zealand Shipping IS Company. After discharging at Lyttelton, she will probably go across to S Newcastle to load coal, ir According to calculations, the earth •- leached on Sunday at 4 a.m., the point in its orbit through which the Pons- >- Wimiecke comet passed on the 16th 0 inst. There is every probability that a t tine display oi meteors took place, but s as the radiant, or point in the heavens, 1 from which the meteors seem to di- ■ verge, is in a high northern latitude, ‘ we must await information from 11 Eastern Asia or India as to what actu- * ally occurred. It is unlikely that any 1 meteors of this system were seen in (> New Zealand. i The work of finally “cleaning-up” I matters relative to the New Zealand „ Expeditionary Force is considerably V hampered by the fact that returned solf diets and the next-of-kin of deceased i- soldiers fail to notify any change in the t their address to the Officer-in-Charge 1 AA’ar Accounts and Records. At pre--1 sent illuminated certificates recording .. service with the forces are being post- ( - ed to returned soldiers, and the percen ’ fage of those returned through the 1 Dead Letter Office necessitates much ' increased work and correspondence. The same expereince follows the issue of memorial .scrolls which are being ' sent to the next-of-kin of deceased sol- ( (tiers. Large numbers of these liiemorI ia.ls are being returned through the * Dead Letter Office. At an early date tho memorial plaques will arrive in ; New Zeaattd and as each one weighs 1 approximately 80/,. it will be a serious I matter if persons entitled to receive 1 them do not ensure their present address being on record. Until the next- * of-kin are in possession of memorial plaques and scrolls and soldiers have received the whole of the medals to which they are entitled together with illuminated certificates of service etc., they shoud not fail to keep the Offieer-in-Charge AA T nr Accounts and Records awatp of any change in their place of abode.

A case of suicide occurred at the Sunnyside Mental Hospital on Friday afternoon, an inmate named Walter Hracewcll being found hanging in a lavatory, adjoining his ward. The deceased was committed to the Avondale Mental Hospital in 1904, following on a charge of attempted murder. He was tried at Auckland Supreme Court in February, 1904, and was found insane and ordered to lie detained during the pleasure of the Colonial Secretary. He was in the Porirua institution for some years, but was transferred to Sunnyside in 191.6, and remained in that institution until his death.
