On Tuesday morning, says the “North Otago Times,” one of the local fishermen was troubled when out on the fishing grounds by a shark which is estimated to be about nineteen or twenty feet long. The unwelcome visitor took five groper off flic line one after the other, and made a grab at the sixth one. but did not quite succeed in getting it. When the groper was hauled into the -boat it was found to be covered with teeth marks. When in need of a throat relief get Zymol© Trokeys. They are the most improved form of medication for an irritated throat or a tight cough. . A trial will convince you. An unusually profitable investment in fanning property in Southland lias to be. recorded. Six years ago a farm of 700 acres in the Eastern District was purchased at £7 10s an acre and though, in the meantime, only £2 an acre had been spent on improvements, the: owner was, the other day. (says the “'News”) offered and refused £l6 an acre, this showing a difference of £6 10s between the cost and the present celling value, or a total of £4550. Stearns’ Wine of Cod Liver Extract gives to delicate cliildren a new vitality, fills 'out hollow cheeks, and makes them strong and robust. Easy for thorn to tako it too; the taste is so pleasant. Severe strictu res' on technical education. as observed by him, were made by Councillor Piper at a late meeting of the P-etone Borough- Council. “In the plumbing classes,” he declared, “wherS they turn out one good tradesman, they turn out half a dozen incompetent ones. There is no compulsion on the pupils to follow the trade, nor to go through any course and take a certificate. . the principal object is to get students and their fees. Then they swarm into the country districts as plumbers, and- do more harm than technical education will remedy in ton-years.”
