Nineteen truant cases were set down for hearing yesterday morning, and the Truant School Inspector (Mr Easther) attended. As only one justice of the peace was procurable, the cases could not be heard, and the Inspector eventually withdrew all the charges in common fairness to those parents who had attended the Court. This is not as it should be, and shows that more justices are urgently required.

The Gisborne Herald, speaking oi the drop in prices of dairy produce states that the decrease will prove . blessing in disguise, if it teaches th farmer the wisdom of not having a! his eggs in the one basket, and lead, to the development of bacon raising, poultry keeping, systematic fruit growing, and other industries which may well go hand in hand with dairying.

A special tram from Sandon this morning brought in a large number of excursionists. Enthusiasts in tennis, rounders and football came in to try' conclusions with local teams, but unfortunately the weather has proved to be too wet.

The Motoa Estate Syndicate have notified the millers who are drawing their supplies of green flax from the estate that their cutting rights will be stopped for a period of two months. This step is taken to give the flax a chance of coming on better, as the frost during the winter months is said to retard its progress when cut. We understand the millers, however, will not be compelled to shut down for this period, as they have all made arrangements to get their su'ppies, in the meantime, from elsewhere. What is electricity ? The question is a difficult one. Its effects are known, but what it really is cannot be precisely said. That it is one of the various forms of energy there is no doubt, and it would certainly appear one of the most wonderful forms. Let it be clearly understood (a scientific journal points out) that electricity is not a power in itself; it is simply a form of energy, and as such can only be produced by the expenditure of an equivalent amount of energy in some other form—heat or mechanical work for instance.

At the Wairoa S.M., Court, before Mr Barton, the case was heard of Police v, J. Somerville, a doctor, for being on licensed premises, the Wairoa Hotel, during the currency of a prohibition order. The solicitor who ap peared for accused stated that on (he occasion in question a traveller, a lady, became seriously ill, and as there was no other doctor in the town at the time his client had no option. His Worship dismissed the information under section 87 of the Justices of the Peace Act, which enabled him to do so even when a case had been proved. Mr H. D. Bedtord, M.H.R., Dunedin’s senior member, was one of the speakers at the great anti Chinese labour demonstration in Hyde Park recently. He declared that the people of New Zealand, who had so patriotically sent nearly 10,000 men to help Great Britain in the South African war, were now disappointed to find that the war was not fought for the British, but for the Chinamen. A petition was now being sent round in New Zealand against the ordinance, and he did not believe there were twenty men or women in that country who would refuse to sign it. (Cheers). Speaking of Mr Seddon’s recent proposals with regard to the prevention of infantile mortality, Mr J. Duthie, M.H.R., said to a press representative: —“ If the State is to assume the nurture and upbringing of weaklings, the effect cannot be an advantage to the race. Is it ultimately intended, having assumed responsibility for this, that the State is to take the farther step and prevent propagation by the vicious, insane, or constitutionally unsound ? Where this is to end should be well 1 cunsidered before the initiatory step is taken.” •
