•IUWNHV lI,LR CALAMITY. A feeling of dei'jj .sympathy will go out lor Uil' people who have suffered hy the Tuwnswlle ealaniity. Australia is such a land of extremes that we have grown accustomed to hear of Hood and drought and other dire visitations. In our own comfortable New Zealand homes we are apt to wonder why people do not, forsake Ihe land of extremes for our steadier and more bracing climate. The recent, experience of Townsville will, however, soon be forgot - ;,-n, except by those who have individually suffered so severely. For the time being desolation reigns. Many lives have been lost, and hundreds of people have been left homeless. For the time there is mourning 'in Ihe land ; hut. the indomitable British pluck will still prevail, and the people will as cheerfully as ever remain, to incur the risks of other furious hurricanes. In the present misfortune they will have the sympathy of the people of New Zealand, and it is bo he iioped that the full death list is already known, and that it will not bo added to.
