The Leap Year Carnival in aid of the Women’s Rest Rooms, which was postponed from to-morrow night owing to the shortage of electric light, will be held on Thursday, March Bth, at 7 p.m. The cable steamer Iris is off Suva harbour, grappling for the cable, on which, it is believed, the hulk Weathorsfield has sunk, states a Press cable received from Fiji at 1 p.m. to-day. “There is too much of this,” commented. Mr J. L. Stout, S.M., in the Palmerston Court yesterday, when an application was made for the .suppression of a name. “Names are only suppressed on very special occasions such as in the case of a young man who has made his first lapse. It is a very special favour. The publishing of a name is part of the punishment.” A boat that sailed for many years on the ilorowhenua Lake —the Kotuku —has been responsible for a consistent series of performances in club races at Paremata this season, and recently scored a win in a first class event, when she also registered the fastest ! time. That she can still hold her.own with modern 14-footers is a tribute to her design and construction. The Kotuku was built by Mr IT. B. Prance, of Pliinmerton, 18 years ago. At 2 a.m. on Sunday the 10-roomcd two-storey residence occupied by Mr R. Boyce, and situated on the corner of Jones’ line and the Rongotea Glen Oroua load was completely destroyed by fire. The origin of the outbreak is ; a* total mystery; the occupants, being in bed at the time, were awakened to the fact that the house was ablaze and were only able to get out in the nick of time/the fire quickly enveloping the whole building,' which, by the way, Avas of wood. About 6 o’clock when all was deemed safe, the washhouse was seen to burst into flames, and it and the carshcd were also completely gutted. While it lasted the heat was terrific, nearby hedges and bushes burning up like torchwood. The place had been vacant for about 12 months previous to Mr Boyce moving in about a month ago. The furniture was insured for £3OO while the house was covered by £7OO, and it is understood Mr Boyce is a heavy loser. The procedure for changing over from Sidey time to ordinary time is thus outlined in a statement issued by Dr. C. E. Adams, Government Astronomer and Seismologist: —“I have to report that in accordance with the Summer Time A.ct the period of summer time will end at 2 a.m. New Zealand standard time on the morning of Sunday, March 4th. This time is equivalent to 3 a.m. Summer Time. It will then be necessary for all clocks to be put back’ one hour. In the case of striking clocks great care will be necessary to see that the striking mechanism is not put out of order. The simplest and safest method for putting the clock back one hour is to move it forward eleven hours, care being taken to see that the clock strikes the full chimes and hours as it is moved forward. In the case of public clocks it would be desirable to muffle the sound of the striking while this is being done. I have to recommend that this information be placed before the controlling authorities of all public clocks in New Zealand.”
