The Hon A. J. Balfour, the new Prune Minister of Great Britain, is the owner of a large estate near Pahitua, which he took up many years ago, and which has been very much improved . The occurrence of the postponement of the Coronation, says the Dunedin Star, recalls a prophecy, generally accredited to Zadkiel, of almanac fame, that three crown princes of his dav would never be crowned in succession t» their fathers. These -were the Prince of Wales, the Prince Imperial of France, and the Crown Prince of Prussia. In the two last mentioned instances the prophecy was fulfilled. One man in Winnipeg managed to vote (writes the Outlook) fifty two times against the enforcement of the liquor ‘law *in Manitoba. This beats the record. There are twenty six polling.places in Winnipeg. At each of these he voted under assumed names. He then changed his clothes and voted again under-other names in all the twenty six polling places.' Inspector Wilson, of the Nelson and Westland Police District in his annual report to the puvernment say's : “As I have only been in the district some three weeks I have not been able to visit the out stations to uote their requirements and the manner in which the duties are carried out. From the absence of any serious entry in the men s. conduct sheets, etc-., I conclude the conduct of the men has beerr satisfactory', and the various police and other duties carried out in a fairly j satisfactory manner.”
