Apparently the American company which has undertaken to raise the sunken ex-German steamer Walkure, at Papeete, is making excellent progress with the work. A passenger by the Moana from San Francisco stated that the salvage operations at Papeete were the centre of considerable interest among those on board. ' A coffer dam had been constructed around the vessel, and it was the intention of the company to attempt the actual raising of the vessel next month. It is interesting- to note that whatever Count Reventlow may think, the Frankfurter Zeitung, which speaks for the commercial classes of Germany, has no doubt about the steadfastness of public opinion in Britain in pursuing the war. It says: "It may he true that the public opinion in England is more favorable to the war than it was a year ago. And we may indeed gather from this that peace with England in the near future is not to be counted on. England will still not see that she cannot beat us." "This, at any rate, is a tribute to our staying power," remarks a London journal. CLEARS OUT THE GERMS. When you have a cold, culture beds for the germs of pneumonia and other diseases form in the throat. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is taken at the first symptom of a cold there is no danger of pneumonia or other infections for being an expectorant it clears out these culture beds thus preventing germs getting into the system. For that reason alone Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine you can use for colds. Sold everywhere. A peculiar band of dryness extends nortu and soutli wise of North Otct-o (says the Oamaru llailj. The immeiii ate coastwise and land a little distance in has received what rain has been going, as has likewise the first of the higher country from about the altitude of Livingstone. Intermediately, from Weston to Ngapara, the Tables, etc., the roads in the locality are clothed in four inches of grass. The higher land near by ia even more fortunate. This is only one instance of the unequal distribution of Nature's favors this year in North Otago, which renders any general statement liable to inaccuracy. As regards crops, however, it may be said with certainty that the few good yields will fail to counterbalance the greater number of sad failures.

"The Turks are very clever fighters," said a soldier who returned by the Tahiti, to a Wellington reporter, "and they always adopt fair tactics; but, of course, they occupy all the commanding positions, and had us at a great disadvantage. One scheme which they worked very successfully was to construct an advanced trench, and after holding it for a time to abandon it to our men with some show of reluctance, ft would then be found that the enemy had placed the trench in such a position that it could be easily enfiladed from a higher position—either with machineguns or shells. We lost a good many men by this means, but soon 'dropped down' to it. The Turks have an enormous number of machine guns, about six to our one, and, of course, they do great execution with the.m, especially upon an advancing body of men. Theit latest scheme was to play these guns on a certain piece of ground over which our troops would have to pass. As soon as a man got within range, down lie went, wounded in the foot, and while on the ground his body would be riddled with bullets."
