- RISE OF THE PALOLO. News from Samoa states tliat the palolo—that mysterious coral worm which rises to the surface for a period of one hour in a whole year—made its appearance on the morning of Sunday, November 4. Several big catches were made at different points along the coast, but the Samoans themselves did not participate in the fishing to any great extent, owing to the fact that the day was a holy one. Sunday observance is very strictly adhered to by the natives. The rise of the palolo is described by those who have been fortunate enough to witness it as a most wonderful spectacle. The surface of the ocean is covered by a mass of wriggling worms. They are highly esteemed bv the natives as a great delicacy. CO-OPER ATIVE PAYING A novel suggestion for the permanent surfacing of footpaths was placed before the Hamilton Rorough Council at its last meeting. It was stated that it was possible to secure the consent of residents in some streets to pay a share of the cost of laying a 4.ft strip of concrete im the streets. This would he do»n on condition that the council provided the earth for making a grass strip at tiie edge of the concrete. The rest to the individual ratepayer would he about £2. It was suggested that the council should raise a loan of £4OOO for unemployment relief and piace the workers on the construction of the permanent surfaces. T he matter was finally referred to he General Purpoces Committee of the council to prepare a report.
