In yesterday's issue a cabled ac- : count"of the terrible experiences of the survivors of the Kawatiri wreck , w»re inadvertently placed under tho . heading of tho Arawatta collision. There was only a difference of threepence between tho receipts and expenditure in connection with the Tripling Farmers' social, tho cost having been £33 17s 3d. At Wellington Magistrate's Court yesterday James White, cabin steward on the Rofccti, was lined ,-Sl and costs for illegally selling liquor. Frederick Weiss, for selling alcoholic wine withont a license, was fined £1 and costs. At a meeting of Gisbomo County Council it was suggested that an effort be made to have iron bridges made in tho colony instead of importing them from America, The Engineer stated that wooden bridges woro now out of date, and lie thought if the local bodies combined thoy'should be able to get all their work done i?i tho colony, and possibly in time utilise New Zealand • iron ore. Inspector Braik yesterday met the residents of Rongotea and discussed • the District High School. Ihe ■ names of 17 intending pupils were fc handed in, with three more to follow. ■ -Vu offer was made of the Temper- ' ance Hall, free of charge. Mr Braik f having suggested the addition of a 5 lavatory, "it was stated that £IOO 1 could be raised by subscriptions, • which, with £IOO subsidy from the > Department, would suffice. I Tho question has been often asked why ) Mr Musgrovo designates his company > the "Royal" Grand Opera Co. The ex--1 plauation is that some of the leading ' principals in the present organisation are ? known in Germany as "Royal Singers," ■ that is to say they aro members of a eom- • pauy supported and directed by either 1 the'Kaiser or one of the minor Sovereigns " of tho German Empire. If err Sfudenumd, 1 for instance, is from the Loyal Opera, 3 Berlin, Hans iUohwinlcel from fciio Koyal > Opera, Darmstadt and Convent Garden, - and Herr Oeser from tho Koyal Opera at ' Dresden. Preliminary experiments with ox " ," plosive bombs were made by the > rain-making committee at Oamaru ' yesterday for the purpose mainly of , testing 'the explosives. The Rev. '" D. G. Bates had previously men- " tioned that a favourable opportunity 1 which he had anticipated had passed '<• on Thursday afternoon, and ho ro- \ presented the conditions that cveni'. ing were unsuitable, but a trial was deemed advisable, and took phieo. Two thirty pound and one sixty , pound bombs were discharged, withJ . out any result or any movement, of ' the barometer. Tho experiment proved the need for high explosive 1 force, and will p-ove of value m I several directions. Trials on a 1 larger scale may take place early 1 next week. - B The programme for" the annual , carnival of the i'New Zealand Axr- , mc'ns Association at ? Christmas has been issued. The t total prize money is £o\'2o. The r Axemen's Cup remains at £l4O. hnt r the size of the block in this eompeti--1 tiou has been altered from lSin. 3 diameter to 15ft. girth. A special 3 prize of £25 has been added to the ? underhand handicap chop. The ■ backiug up competition has been r struck off and replaced by a maiden single hand saw event, for which £6 i is allotted. The maiden double hand siawing is also raised to £C>. Professional running is struck off, and two additional cycling events arc , added. i On Monday next the New Zealand 3 Loan and Mercantile Agency will 1 offer by auction on the farm, Awalmri road, Messrs Robertson Bros, herd of Jersey cross dairy cows, horses, implements, etc. The ven- = dors have been dairying for a long time and they have culled heavily everv Year, the results obtained from this "showing in the highly satisfacl' tory tests received at the factory. Messrs Robinson Bros,, have sold 1 their property, therefore tho sale, with the exception of one or two 1 items, will be an unreserved one. i Tho meeting in connection with ' forming a District High Sciiool in Sanson was very well attended. Mr Braik, Chief Inspector, and Mr Purnell attended on behalf of the Educa- , tiou Board, their mission being to ; report to tho Education Board as to ; the best district in which to establish a high school. Mr J. PL Pcr- - rett, chiarman Sanson School Comr mitteo, stated that there-were a numl her of children in tho district who , were unable to avail themselves of the higher branches of education ) owing to the distance they resided ; from a high school, the nearest being . Foilding, 10 miles distant, that Sansou, being centrally situated, would . be an excellent place to establish such a school, and that they had 19 pupils in the district who would at- . tend, all of whom lived within a. ' radius of three miles; there was a spare room which could be used for the jrarpose and tiie committee were prepared to guarantee a sum of £7O towards tho erection of a laboratory and situated as it the centre of a number of schools a high school, if established, was bound to bo a success. Mr J. A. Bailey, chairman > Ohakea School Committee, heartily , supported the establishment of a high school in Sanson and stated that such a school would have the hearty support of Ohakea and that i from its central position and the fact that we had plenty of land for grazing horses and establishment of play grounds was strongly in its favour. A general discussion fol lowed, during which tho proposed school was strongly supported by W. J. Phillips, R. Henderson, and others, and tho matter of contributory schools was very fully goue into, it being generally considered that OhakeaJ Clydesdale and Makowhai were contributory schools to Sanson. A vote of thanks to Messrs Braik and Puruell concluded the meeting. TWO SOVEREIGN REMEDIES. The Famous Sander and Sons' Pure A T olatilc Eucalypti Extract was . proved by experts at the Supreme Court of "Victoria to possesss curative properties peculiarly its own, and to be absolutely safe, effective and reliable. Therefore, do not aggravate your complaint by the use of one of the many crude eucalyptus oils which aro now palmed off' as "Extracts," and from the use of which a death has been reported recently, nut insist upon tho Genuine Sunder'and Sous' Eucalypti Extract, and reject all others. '. For wrinkles, sunburn, pimples, ; blackheads, freckles, cracked hands, - dry and inflamed skin use Sander 1 and Sous' Super ha Skin Food. No 1 lady should be without it. Allays ] irritation, produces a clear and spotless complexion, and a smooth and supple skin. Remember that Sander and Sons' i Superba Skin Food is not an ordi- '. nary face cream, and unlike any of 1 them, produces a permanently beau- s tifying effect.

Unless care "is taken pneu- " mouia often follows. The patient | should avoid exposure. Take a double dese of Chamberlain's Cough 1 Remedy to begin with, and then a regular dose each hour. Keep the ' bowels regular by taking Chamberlain's Tablets. Before retiring £ bathe the feet in water as hot as can bo comfortably borne. After the , fever subsides, take quinine in two or throe grain doses four times a day, for several days. By taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy at ~ the very first symptom of Influenza f( it will counteract any tendency of this disease to result in pneumonia. Thousands have used Chamberlain's . Cough Remedy during the past year, V and "wo have to learn of a single ~ case where they were not satisfied.
