A correspondent writes from Sydney : "Tlie inevitable efl'ect of the Murchison earthquake has already made itself felt in Sydney. Several tourist bookings have been caiicelled, and it is likely that next season's traffic will be considerably less. Thousands of pounds will be lost to the Dominion, as it will take Australians years to forget the recent shocks in the South Island. It was hard enough to convince the average Australian New Zealand had not almost disappeared beneath the waves nn several occasions."

The New Zealand Shipping Company has received radio advice from their steamer, Ruahine, to the^ effect that elie expects to arrive in Wellington at daylight on tli© 24th instant. Notiee is given that the Napier Land, Building and Investment Society will hold its annnal general meeting on Thursday, July 2 5, at 2.30 p.m. The meeting will he held in the Ghaxnber of Commerce Ilooms. The white heron which found sarfictuary about three years ago m lagoon at the rear of the Greymouth hospital ahd which disappeai*ed ahout a year ago, has returned to its old haunt, and may be seen of a morning feeding near the hospital. He was a very wet and bedraggled line nmpire on Saturday _ afternoon. "How did you get your job, — - ■" shouted a spectator acquainuance from the bank. "Influence!" came tli9 cheerful response, as the hnesman sqnelched off down the field witli his flag. New rubbish containers placed at different spots roimd the main streets include one that stands near the entrance to the post office. It is said that it had not been in position tor more than two days before someone posted a. letter in it, mistakmg it for a new pillar-box. "Are you a believer in Genesis. chapter oue, vers© three? If so, get busy," was the wording of a telegram eigned "Mossburn,'5 which Mr A 5. Rodger, cliairman of the feouthland Electric Power Board, received. The vers© is : tiicre be and tbero was iight.'5 "That a special committee be set ■up fojr the purpose_ of making suggestion for reorganising the enginfeer's department, also that an accountant be asked to report on a suitable system of book-keeping for that department," is the text of a motion that the Mayor, Mr J. Vigor Brown, has given _ notiee to move at the next City Council. A teller in the Christchurch braneh of the Bank of Australasia gave £100 in change for a £50 note. The man to whom the £100 was given placed tyro £50 notes on the counter, asking for change for one of them (states the Lyttelton Times). He was given change for two. He left the bank before the irustake was discovered. If he does not return £50 the teller will have to pay it Strange are the ways of homing pigeons. A judge at the Waikato Show related an incident showing the uncanny power of these birds to find the way liome. A loft was taken down and used as a hen coop five miles disiant from the spot on which it lioused the pigeons. The owner was suiprised a dav or so later to find a homer scratching round the coop, trying to make an entrance. How times have changed was shown eb the relief committee meeting in 'Auckland last week, wlien a man complained that he had to walk all the way from Onehunga to get to the meeting, because he had not enough to pay the tramfare. Sitting at the board table was a member who had many years ago walked that distance to his work and walked back again_ each evening. All he received for his labours at that time was 6s a day. "You will find that about 80 per oent of-tho girls of some schools of Canterbory, and 60 per cent of the boys, have gcitre," stated Dr. H. G. Denham, of Canterbury College, in an address to tarmers. Dr. Denham made this observation when speaking upon the lack of iodine in certain pasture lands of New Zealand, and m water. This lack of iodine, he said, had an effect on _ the .animals, the consumption of which by human beings had an effect on the latter. Heavily mounfed in silver, an antique Norse drinking horn has been presented to the Auckland War Memorial Musgum By Mr Jobn Solen, of Parnell. It is the only one of its kind in the museum, and is probably centuries old. Another gift is a small pieco of piping which is claimed to be'part of the water line from Hampton Court Palaoe, and is thought to have heen laid in 1515. The alloy is helieved to contain a certain amount of silver, and it is thought that the main supplied water to Cardinal Wolsey and his court. The donor was Mr A. E Hyde, of Matakohe. t Recently the automobile associations made a general complaint to the Commissioner of Police regarding the delay in notifying offenders of the hylaws of intention to prosecute. At the meeting of the council of the Auckland Automobile Association a letter was read from the commissioner stating that it was the practice of the police to have the information laid and _ summonses served as early as possible after the detection of an offence. But in some cases, owing to difficulty in loeating witnesses, delay occurred in completmg the inquiries neoessary to enable a decision as to prosecution to he arrived at. This was tbe cause of tlie delay in the case which had heen mentionod hv the A.A.A. Commissioner Frederick St. George de Latour Booth Tucker, of the Salvation ATmy, passed away in London at the age of 76 years. Deceased, who married the second daughter of tlie late General William Booth, fonnder of the Salvation Army, in 1888, hecame a Salvationist in 1881.

In 1913 he returned to England. He had seve'ral publications to his credit dealing with tlie ' work of the Salvation . Army. A man of the greatest integritv the late Commissioner Booth Tucker fully upheld tbe work started by his fatlier-in-law and even in his old. aee was an er©rgetic toiler for the emancipation of ihe human race. .A reiitenoi-ian says that tbe secret of lor.i life is hard work.
