The Colosy's Finances

Dealing with tbe question of the Colony's financial position the Otago Daily Tivus saye;—lt eeems to us that the cotme jropoaed by Mr Stddon (a non borrowing policy) ia the Bound and prudent; one. The adoption of any other course will only Intensify the misery of the depression that will In the ordinary run of events follow the tide of prosperity, the ebb of which is b»lieved to ha?© already commenced, It Is fat wiser to proceed cautiously on safe and conservative lines, avoiding the extremes of exfravagsnee and of parsimonlousnees, than to adopt a policy whioh, though ib may prodaca for the time a certain artificial prosperity, will In the lougrnn prova demoralising and disas trous. We are impelled to express this opinion even though ihere are public works In which th'sparto£ the colony is deeply interested that are not, under present circumstance?, being constructed BO expeditlonely aa we would wish. The maintenance of a sound finance for the eoloay must override other considerations, and, so long as the railways in Otagd reoewe a fair apportionment of fche public works expenditure, we csnnofc complain if the votes are somewhat reduced when the retiuoMon ia neceHaitated by the exigencies of the Treasury.

A Railway in Mid-Air

HOW THE MOUNTAIF PEAKS ARE UTILIBID

Bailwayi in mid-air sound more suitable for fairyland than this solid earth of ours (says thn Daily Express) yet; in a short; while such a means o£ locomobioo will have become an ac complished fact in California, imgeni- Otis eisgineeiß having come to the con citaaion that the only way to saccesg fully scale Mount Wilson is through fcb.B clouds. In order to achieve this, carß are to be swung from peak to pemk of the Sierra Madre Mountains, each step of tbe way thus being a giant's stride. By this means it will fee possible to pass from the eemi li-opical orange grovos of Los A ogetes And P«Badßn» to the snow capped Sierras in little ovor an hour. The first •tuge of this wonderful railway has been in operation for some time past, for the Mount Lowe Railway carries pasaen geirs up Bleep inclines and round cur ?lng trestle bridges to a height of about fe mile above eea*iev.e3. It is from this pcict onward that this

TWENTIETH CENTURY PEAT of railroad building will be began. The plan is briefly this ;—A 2| inch e&blo of steel strands Is to be swung from four adjacent mountain peaks, *?hich form a series of ridges leading Op Mount Wilson. On this cable elec tric cars capable of carrying a score of people move from peak to peak. There Will be a deep sag of the cable between each peak, and the car will run sojast down the incline that it will seem to the occupants like failing through the ftif .When the momentum becomes greatest, however, the upward journey will be begun, the electric current not being ueed until this stage of the journey is reached. When each peak Is reached the car wiil run on a track for a few hundred yards before again resuming its journey through mid-air,

TERSE GREAT LBAP3. The first leap is half a mile across, the eecond ncprly a mile, and the third leap which will bring the passengers a mile snd a half above sea level, is also to be a mils in length, The total journey from tho sea level is intended to take an hour and throe quarters. Wo mere Verbal description can give yon any ade quate idea of the marvellous natore of this engineering understanding or the daring of the designer's plans. It was considered a marvellous feat a few year? ago to construct aerial cars to carry half a dozen persons or so along a steel rope or a distance of about a hundred yards, end even bo it W69 no uncommon sigh: to see one of those cars stationary »ui'l wsy across the track owing to something having gone wrong with the 'lines of communication.' No such risks, hrw ever, can be taken with tho railway we illustrate, which is realiy a development ira » large seal© of those we have seen At exhibitions and elsewhere Imagine Ith*fc

A THRIIXTNO SENSATIOff it: would be for passengers to find themselves suspended for an indefinite period between two mountain peaks— haif a mile from either—Booo feet above sea level, owing to something having gone wrong with the machinery Such chances ere too alarming to be taken, and it is satisfactory to know that those who are carrying oat this gigantic task have left nothing to cfaaace in their plans; The materials to be used will be very costly, for the Bteel of which the cable is being m^de Is the very finest, and every inch of it Is submitted to tte severest tests; The etachinory, too, which will be used in stretching it from peak to peak will only bo more powerfal than ife is ex pensive, while the foundations of the supports fixed in the mountain peaks j will be of a depth and solidity that are almost unprecedented.

My condition was such I was quite unable to gst about, or to do anything at all. When I heard of the great benefit other sufferers had derived from the use of Plaktekoa. I procured a bottle, using it as directed, and the result was as gratifying as it was astonishihg. I became quite well again, and able to get about as usual. I have much pleasure in sending you these few lines, make what you like of them. Yours truly, Mks J.

My wrists and ankles were much swollen, and very painful Several things I tried without effect. A friend advis9d me to give Plantekca a trial, which I did, and I am happy to say before I had finished the second bofctla I was thoronghlycnred< and I m?y say I have felt no return whatever. I should like, also, to sa/ a word for Plantekoa Ointment.
