i “i wonder how much New Zealand politicians owe to the reporters,” said Mr L, F. de Berry, headmaster of the West Christchurch District High School, during an address on “Oratory" at tin l W.E.A. on Saturday night, at Christchurch. “Everyone who speaks in p.ublic owes a wonderful debt to the reporters,” lie added. “His sentences lire never finished, his phrases are left in the air, yet dn ' the Press, next day ho finds them all beautifully rounded and congratulates himself on his speech.

. There i. s already some counting of heads In progress at Greymouth, with the object of “picking" the candidate likely to lie selected to opprre the Labour candidate for the Westland seat, at the general election in November next. It js understood that the contest will be a. straight-out trial of strength between the Labourite and a candidate renresenting either the United or the. Reform Parties, and that vote-splitting will be avoided. The Mayor of Greymouth. Mr J. W. Greenslade, when questioned by a Grey “Star" representative, admitted that he had been approached, to allow himself to he nominated as a candidate, but he stated that it was unlikely that lie would agree to the request.

Coining through from Greymouth on Saturday evening in his motor ear, Mr Gordon Marshall, accompanied by Mr Laurie Simonsen, of Ivaramea, met with an accident at Bullock Creek, a few miles, on the Westport side of Porara river. The approach to the creek is not very good and the bridge not easily distinguished at night. Marshall mistook the side of the bridge for the bridge and crashed into the creek, in which there was some two feet of water. They scrambled out of the car and could not get up to the road as the hanks are perpendicular. Numerous cars passed over the bridge but thejr _ cries were not heard. M.ouett’s lorry also crossed about three hours after the accident, and cries were heard hut were not immediately located. However, it was decided to make an investigation and the driver of the lorry and his companion located Marshall and .Simonsen and got them up on to the bridge and conveyed them to Greymouth, where Simonsen, who had a nasty cut on the head, was admitted to the hospital. Marshall was suffering from nothing more serious than slight shock, and on Sunday visited the scene o-f the accident to ascertain the extent of the damage to the car.

“A boy kept at home goes to the devil, as a rule, more quickly than one who is sent out to school,” said Archbishop Julius at the Cathedral, Christchurch, on Sunday, in the course of the Cathedral Grammar School jubilee service. ‘‘The reason is that they have never learned immunity by coming in constant contact with some of the factors of life, They are hound to meet them later, for, do what you will, you cannot escape their influence.”

‘‘in New Zealand we have hardly learned to distinguish between speaking and oratory,” said Air L. F. do Berry during an address at the Christchurch W.F..A. on Saturday night. “The New Zealand Parliament is

about the drabbest and dreariest place to which one can go to spend an evening. Talleyrand it was who said tlia't words are not used to express thoughts, but to conceal them ; and I believe bur politicians still do the same.”

Some of that famous Southland moonshine whisky must trickle through to the Sounds country (declares an exchange). Witness this from a Melbourne paper: Gippsland will be disappointed to learn that it is not the only place in which th e much-discussed giant earthworms are found. Mr Charles F. Borradaile Anderson, of Kew, says that when he was in charge of a mining camp at-Dusky Sound, on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, he and his men saw many giant worms from 6ft to lift 6in long. They made a loud barking nosi e when alarmed.

Not for a lengthy period says the wrp .v “-Argus” has the depth on the C/rey bar been so low as it just now, yesterday’s record being 16ft 4ins,. In recent months the bar’s capacity has been ten feet greater than -it is at present. One result is that the steamer Kaimiro which was to have lifted a coal cargo, will not in the meantime visit the port, 'flic shoaling of the bar is at least partly attributable to the effect of the recent southerly weather. Ih tides, however, which are at the neap, will give in a few days an increased depth as they begin* to mako.

Engineers in New Zealand m a v have to study the likes a"d dislikes of'the fish inhabiting rivers to be bridged, es. peciaUv salmon. Air Herbert Morrison, British Minister of Transport, tells a story of bow the presence of salmon fu a river caused controversy about the material to be used for budding a bridge. It was found, bo said, that the most convenient and economical form of construction was reinforced concrete. Tile designers were, however, warned that the salmon were prejudiced against reinforced con c rete, and would refuse to return to the river il it w e r,o .adopted. In the long run the objection of the salmon was overruled and the fish are now reconciled to the appearance of the n e w j bridge. It is, indeed, reported, that ! Isa 1 nion are more plentiful in tint’ l iver now than befor e the bridge was j constructed. j
