After making a record trip of two days five hours from Norfolk Island, where a fault in the S.uva-Norfolk cable was repaired, the cable ship Iris returned to Auckland on Saturday. Heavy weather was met by the Irish on the trip to Norfolk, and for 48 hours she was hove-to about 109 miles from the North Cane. It is less than three weeks since the Iris laid three miles •of new cable nc-ar Norfolk Island, and shortly after her return, on 'September 19, another fault, was reported about half a mile from the hut. The work of repairing this damage was not done without difficulty, for the spot is rather dangerous. Special attention had to be given to the direction of the wind and the running of the tide. That spot where the fault had occurred wa,s the only weak spot in the stretch of cable that was taken up.

Imprisoned by a fallen tree, Mr John Sykes, aged 47, a resident of Whangarei, had a painful experience on Wednesday of last week. A tree which he was cutting on his property in Kamo road fell towards him and pinned his leg to tlie ground. Efforts to release himself with the aid of his axe ended when the handle broke. Finally, in his straggles, he was able to strip off his boot and draw his leg out from under the tree. The injured man crawled a quarter of a mile to within hailing distance of the road, where his shouts attracted the attention of a passer-by. In a very exhausted condition M.r Sykes was taken to the Whangarei District Hospital, where an X-ray examination showed that no break had occurred in the leg, which, however, was in a very crashed condition.

Tlie Summer Time Bill which has passed through the House of Representatives, after some discussion and I approves of the alteration of half-an- | hour in clock time, ■ which has been the subject of somewhat bitter attacks and sterile protests in the past is, after all, not at all .the revolutionary proceeding that some people seem to believe; in fact, it may he said with safety that after the time has been altered at the commencement of the summer period few, even among the opponents of daylight saving, are acutely aware of its operation until the day comes in which toput the clock hack again in preparation for the winter months. That is not to suggest that the extra Half hour of daylight is not a very considerable boon to those, who are engaged in indoor work 1 and have to snatch their outdoor pleasures in the slim periods between 5 o’olock and dark, but the difference’ which the country worker experiences in his ordered routine on farm or station is almost obviously • i negligible.
