The Electric Light.
tUKITED^rRESS ASSOCIATION./ Hokitika, June 23. The West Coast Times Uffioe was lighted with electric light last evening, and wheu the first lamp was lighted it was considered by those present an entire success, but when six lamps were turned on, the litjht became Jess steady, and the revolutions of the small engine which acted as the motive power decreased considerably, and the light was not steaiy* enough for the printers to read copy by comfortably, as, after every explosion of the gas-engine, a slight flicker m tha light took plase. It is intended to get a U'rger gas-engine, or probably substitute steam.
