TABLE TALK.

North-easterly " buster." " The wind of God," according fc6 Kings, ley. North Shore folks in danger of being flooded.

The present gales were foretold. By Captain Edwin ?—surely not,

No ; but by an Austrian Professor—Dr. Palo of Vienna—who named May sth, 6th, and 7tli as days on whicli there would be "considerable atmospheric disturbances and heavy gales and rains, possibly accompanied by shocks of earthquakes."

Glad to find we haven't had an eruption of Rangitoto. ..'.,.-

That may be coming yet. Dr Falb givea the same prediction regarding the following dstee this year : -June 3, 4, 5, 21, 28 *_ July 20, 34, 25; August 3, 19, 20; September 17, 18 ; October 16 ; November 6, 14. 15 ; December 12; 13, 14. '

Teetotalism run mad—prosecuting people for selling hop beer in the King Country. Not so fast! Mr Pond found that the stuff contained a large percentage of alcohol, besides sulphuric acid and glucose.

Horrible mees ! But still this adulteration is the result of over-stringent temperance tactics. . ■

Perlwps you're right. The railway workers and Maoris would be better with Johnny Walker and colonial beer than that liquid* fire.

Possibility of a dissolution of Parliament). Will the Premier make the plunge ? ; Nod very likely. He will pocket his pbli" tical principles, if he has any left, and with draw tha Representation Bill. Just as tho Treasurer withdrew his Jubilee Bill whon he found members inclined to " juble " at his expense, eh ! Talking of the Jubilee, here's a rather rich idea. The Mayor of Timaru has, in tho name of the local Jubilee Committee, asked the Minister for Public Works to allow the public to travel free of charge on the rail ways on Jubilee Day.

That's a good democratic notion : but for Jubilee proposals the Cambridge folks "take the cake."

Smart folks at Cambridge. What's their particular " variety " in the way of honour ing Hor Majesty?. ,-,■., Races! .This was resolved upon at a largo meeting presided over by the Mayor. Archdeacon Willis was present.. That's vory. shocking; but I'm glad to notice that the Archdeacon and another gentleman lodged a protest against such a dishonouring method of Jubilee observance.

Well, they hadn't much of a choice. The other proposals before the meeting.were :— A Mortuary at the cemetery, waterworks, museum, tower and clock, large concrete tank in Government paddock, and suspen sion bridge across the lake.

That Waikato " saurian " is still prowl ing rouiid. Good Jubilee idea, to catch him and put him on exhibition. 7.. /.' I'd give £1,000 for that animal if it proved to be a " taniwha."

You may safely offer £20,000 ; the whole thing is a myth. : ' ' : Yes; Iratlier.fancy the "monsterseason ' is on. The " Nortliern.Wairoa Gazette";of this week tells about *"marine monster that has been seen up there. *r ' /.' '.",", '.''. A sea serpent, eh jf >j_ ,y'. Not exactly ; it "is described as ?a homblo floating object like an immense tree endowed with life, and a savage look ing hoad with a cruel mouth armed with sawlike teeth ; whilo on either side were two large eyes of the size and appearance of ordinary decanters, but of the most ferocious expression, and reflecting the rays of the sun like as from a glinting mirror, and dazzling in their brightness." That's rattier good ; go on. The veracious chronicler proceeds: — " The body exhibited 16 feet in length above the water and 8 feet of width, and emanating from it were four uncanny arms on either side of a flat shape parallel with the water and terminating in three great claws. These formidable weapons the ani mal urged backwards and forward and oc casionally imparted to them a. rotatory motion, giving them the appearance of the sails of a windmill, and a most terrify ing aspect to the creature as a whole." I should say so ! How many people did it gobble up ? Oh, the mighty leviathan was a great coward. It saw a youthful mariner on the bank, whereupon it . darted down the river in a shower of spray, and when but 300 yards from the shore, lashed the surface of the water with needless fury,, and.vanished in the commotion from mortal ken, into the great muddy depths of the Wairoa." That's a fine story for the marines.. Inspector O'Sulli van's report on Auckland educational matters has attracted some at tention' at Wellington, and it is proposed to have it laid on tha table of the House.

Quite " Parliamentary language " used in it—as Parliaments go now-a-days. Tho Earl and Countess of Aberdeen reached Rotorua on Saturday. Several Maoris in custody there are sus pected of having a hand in tiie recent fire at the Government offices.

Mount Eden Rifle Range is safe. Giad'to'h&i'r it, but there wilf-likety be a big turn-out at the meetifig''lMiight, all the same, to protest' against.oM&ig ift. '*■• The Faith-Healing Association of Auck land hold their first meeting to-night in the V.M.C.A. rooms.

The extension of the Lunatic Asylum in this district is actively proceeding. Some people may think there is a con nection between the two preceding item's ; but of course there isn't. . ''"

Talking of the , Asylum, I see Dr. Mac gregor, the Government Inspector/ says :'— "A recent visit this year satisfied me that Dr. Cremoninite'energy and observation in extreme difficulty merit tiie fullest ac knowledgment, and also his efforts to secure discipline among the attendants." Lio Medo.tlie " coloured " phrenologist, is at Ngaruawahia, doing " good business." And yet the Bank of New Zealand' are proposing to shut their premises there be cause of " bad business." It's afunnv world! ['''• '■<" *!>y'

Going to the circus again? The hard times need not prevent that, as the prices are down. '•

Yes ; I'd like to see that feat of jumping over the fixed bayonets, with a volley fired at the gymnast in mid-air. For my part 1 prefer " the rhyming and the chiming of the bells." The Lynch Family have a splendid programme, em bracing humourous songs and some first class music.

Talk of music. The Philharmonic Society render "The Merry Men of Sherwood Forest" in St. James's Hall to-night. Archbishop Redwood leaves Auckland on Wednesday; going to open a new church at Manaia.

Sorry that his' Grace should have had such a, poor sample of Auckland weather while here ; still, I suppose it's far superior to the average state of, things at Wellinsr |ton. . ' : . •"'''',.. ' " . Gold found atKawakawaV l*

Oh, there's gold everywhere in New Zea land ; but that Kawakawa lot is '. hardly "payable." Mr Pond made an assay of it and found-.—Bullion, 19dwts ' 13grs per ton; containing, silver, 13 .wts lgr; gold, Odwts 12grsv ~-..' s-3 i:p»: -Oj,, *
