In the Canadian census, to be taken this year, every domesticated living creature, down to the house cat and the bees, has to be counted. Town dwellers will have to answer only 40 questions, against the 600 put to farmers. The oak planted by the Prince of Wales at Victoria Park, during his visit to Greymouth about 10 years ago, is showing satisfactory growth, despite its exposed position, and the tree has now attained a height of about 10 feet. The .shelter erected to afford some protection from the gales is now cramping the spread of the branches, and will be removed (says the Grey Star). In its place a solid framework is being erected by the caretaker, and the intention is to have it covered by climbing roses, to a height of about 12 feet.
