Recently, the residents of a certain locality at Utiku were greatly concerned for two or three days at the actions of an individual who was wandering through the paddocks and moving his arms in a most peculiar way. The strain of keeping a wary eye on what appeared to be a peculiar individual became too great by the third day, on the afternoon of which the male occupant of one of the houses arrived home to find his wife sitting on til© back doorstep armed with the wood-axe and keeping a scared eye on the strangeacting person ; so he rang up for the police. The latter arrived per motorear, and it ivas only when the individual who had been the cause of all the excitement was pointed out, that it was discovered that he was no one more harmful than the wafer-diviner engaged by the Taihape Dairy Company to locate water on the proposed site of the new dairy factory. When informed of the occurrence, he enjoyed the joke as much as any of the others concerned.
