On Wednesday night, in the Masonic Hall, Gisborne, Mr H. Victor, English clairvoyant, gave an interesting demonstration of clairvoyance, in reading from articles placed on the table -with success, followed by character reading from the voice, which was greatly appreciated, and acknowledged to be correct. To-morrow at 7 o’clock Mr Victor will give an address. “Death and After, What?” followed by clairvoyant reading from flowers. “Student” writes deprecating the selection of the building in which candidates in the New Zealand University examinations, to be held in Gisborne next week, are to sit. He asserts that, in view of its proximity to various places of business, the hall is altogether unsuited for the purpose of holding examinations, and the conditions will be opposed to the best interests of the candidates. In conclusion he suggests that some steps should he taken to secure quieter examination quarters. Persons who lose bicycles from time to time and place the matter in the hands of the police, would do well to make periodical inquiries as to the result of investigations made. It cannot he expected that the police will communicate with every person who at various times have lost bicycles every time a machine is found and handed to the authorities. At the present time there are two bicycles at the station, apparently ownerless, and some lamenting persons may locate their lost machines on making application there. Very few people realise the difference in the meaning of No-License this election and what it signified last election, but it is a very vital one. Under NoLicense if carried now it will be a crime to have a drink at a social club, banquet, smoker, lodge function, bowlinggreen, or golf-links. You can have a demi-john of whisky in the house fox' a quiet evening, or xlie boys can take a hogshead of beer to the beach or rivei*bank and cut it out, but if you took a flask of whisky to the pavilion of the bowling-green or had a glass of ale at a send-off function or a marriage feast, you are committing a crime, and liable to arrest. This is no idle tale—ask any lawyer. You could get liquor at the chemist’s with a doctor’s certificate, but 10s 6d for the doctor’s certificate and Is for the “prescription” is too dear, but the Waihi magistrate decided that a doctor’s prescription ordering whisky for a weak heart is only good fox' once, and that yoxx cannot “repeat the dose when necessax-y.” If a person was dying and a drop of brandy would save them, no chemist could sxipply yoxx withoxit a doctor’s certificate, but the boys could get a keg of beer by ringing up the brewery. It is legislation runmad, and the only way to stop it is to strike out the bottom line on both papers next election. The only sensible vote.***
