A Hamilton bootmaker’s confidence lasts. He says:—“After 12 years, during which space of time we have used almost dozens of bottles, we have always found Tonkin’s Linseed Emulsion a sure cure.” Whooping cough yields to Tonkin’s Linseed Emulsion. In bronchitis nothing is more soothing than Tonkin’s Linseed Emulsion. Croup has no terrors when Tonkin’s Linseed Emulsion is administered, x

The latest development in the physicochemical treatment of disease is ■ the reported discovery of Dr. Max Kaufmann, lecturer at the Hallo University, who has subcntaneouslv injected patients suffering from excessive corpulence, and even fatty heart, with a solution of palladium (a metal ■if the platinum group), made collodial, or plastic, and utilised iu a paraffin solution. Two injections weekly, it is said, produced a daily loss of 21b weight, not only with out ill effects, but with a feeling of pleasant relief.

A Press Association message from Wellington states that owing to the Ministerial refusal to recognise their association, the members of the Police Association have appealed direct to all members of the House of Representatives for aid. They state that the objects of the Association are not in any degree subversive of discipline, but rather the reverse. > Constable Baker, one of the Auckland police who

voiced the grievance to the Hon. Mr Herdman, lias been transferred to Gisborne. He is appealing against the transfer.

Yesterday was an ideal winter’s day. The morning was crisp and the air keen with a touch of frost and the conditions generally such as to tempt many to proceed far afield on foot and on wheel. The East Road was a popular route, for at the Toko end there was the scene of the unfortunate fire which totally destroyed the big nostelry. A lone chimney amid the ruins of tragedy has ail abnormal interest, which in this case was taken full advantage of. It was not a glad scene in a day that was full of sunshine.

The New Plymouth hardware merchants, the News understands, retail corrugated iron (6ft. lengths) at 2s 3d per sheet, yet at an auction on Saturclay afternoon, some fourteen sheets of the same length of iron realised 2s 6d, despite the fact that the same had been pierced with nails, and, as a result, could only be termed second class. The iron referred to was used in connection with the visit of the battleship New Zealand to New Plymouth, and whether this accounted for the price which it brought or whether. .there is a dearth of this class of iron in town, the paper wag unable to A snv • -V-

One champion announced his faith by saying; ‘Til bet you a hundred pounds O’Meara gets in.” Another enthusiast answer-

And he has been in Parliament ever since, continuously representing Wakatipu.

A novel invention in the way of moving picture shows was successfully demonstrated last week at the Melbourne Glaciarium. Picture shows have always been asosciated with dark halls, but now pictures may be shown in broad daylight, oven out of doors. The pictures are projected from, behind the screen instead of in front, as heretofore. l The screen is transparent, as well as being weather-proof • and non-inflammable. It ought to be specially suitable for educational purposes, a dark room being superfluous. A lecturer will be able to see ins audience, and, if necessary, to read from a manuscript without the aid of a lamp. Further sensational novelties in the moving picture world are promised in the near future, including the “optical stage,” which is to he a link between moving pictures and the stage. It is constructed so that by illusion a deep stage is shown, m which the moving pictures appear* m stereoscopic form without any* screen appearing. Between these stereoscopic figures living people can move about and converse, completing the illusion, the audience being unable to distinguish between.the steroscopic forms and the living persons.
