ELECTRIC LIGHT IN A NEWSPAPER OFFICE.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Hokitika, June 23. The West Coast Times Office was lighted with electric light last evening, and when the first lamp was lighted it was considered by those present an entire success, but when six lamps were turned on, the light became less steady, and the revolutions of the small engine which acted as the motive power decreased considerably, and the light was not steady enough for the printers to read copy by comfortably, as, alter every explosion of the gas-engine, a slight flicker in the light took place. It is intended to get a larger gasengine, or probably substitute steam.
