Catches of Soles.

bome very large eatehes of soles have been taken on the Ohope beadi recently. One catch netted by a party of Rotorua residents was partieularlj good and contained one fish that was 18 J inches long by 10 i inches broad Borough Works. It is expected that the workmei engaged on the installation of ths pumping machinery at the borougi sewerage pumping station in Kia? Street will have completed the woii by the end of the week and that the station will then be ready for operation. A large gang of relief wort ers is at present engaged in cl ealing blackberry and other noxious weeds along Pererika Street, and another gang is engaged on widening Philli? Street, a short blind Street off Pererika Street. Widening and straightening operations are also heinp- carr-

ied out at the lower end of Hinemoa Street. N.Z. Musicians, "Although I am an Englishman and have only been five years in New Zealand, I must say that one would liave to go a long way in England to find a body of musicians better than the leading musicians in this country," said Mr. T. Vernon Griffiths, of Christchurch, at the annual cofrference of the Music Teachers' Association of New Zealand. "It was quite a surprise to me when I got to know the leading musicians. I was amazed, and I felt very small indeed." Not Exempt. The common conception is that Ministers of the Crown are exempted' from having served on them subpoenas for attendance before coprts of law and Royal Commissions. This is fallacious. Every individual is sub* ject to the ordinary process of the law.^ A judge or a magistrate has the right to issue a bench warrant for the apprehension of any person, high official or otherwise, who disregards the acceptance of subpoenas or other material documents. Scarcity of Honey. Owing to the prolonged drought throughout Canterhury, it is expected that there will be very little, if any, honey for export this year. Indeed, many beekeepers say that they will he extremely lucky if they have enough honey to feed the bees through the winter. Ever since September the dry winds have been sweeping over the plains and practically all flowers are dry, devoid of honey.
