FRAGRANT WATERS' MURMUR
That the published history of the collapse of the Retrenchment Commission justifies svory word of criticism used in this co- lumn on the subject.
That of course the local Government has derided from the beginning not to give an independent enquiry, although that concession was clearly intended by the Secretary of State.

That Mr Whitehead was consistent from start to finish, and any one who erot had any doubt about the correctness of this action, must have recognised its -soundinous after Chief Justion Clarke's
remarkable letter.
That the impartiality, of, eta, crudited by Mr Whitehead to Me Justice Clarko ne chairman of the Commimion were sorse- what prematuro, because the Chief

That his remarks about his staff are and have been so thoroughly au-English that the public cannot but admire the juniors at the Observatory for keeping the public
