The Site of Australia's Now Capital,
A CENTRAL "BUSH" CITY,
Ao Australian writes in Unliad Empiro the journal of the Royal Colonial Institute, as follows
To build a city worthy of being the official capital of a vast, young country of boundless promise is no light undertaking In Australia the task is only just beginning, but already many years have been spent upon preliminarles. First there was the long and heated controversy as to the State in which the Federal capital stea should be located. To will be remembered that this docision was deemed of so much importspen that Now South Wales at first refused to enter the Union unt the Constitution contained the provision that the capita should bo within her boundaries, Then there was the proviso distated by the susceptibilities of Melbourne, that the capital should not be within 100 miles' of Sydney. This made a bush capital" inavitable, for none of the other towns of New South Walds were over seriously in the running.

Canberra (with the emplasia on the sad the "c's" slurred lightly over, as is customary with aboriginal terminals) has many of the qualities or satini for the building of a beautiful city. The aroi is roughly 900 square miles, and its slavazing above sea level is about 2,000 feet; which is sudicieus to give it a cool invigorating elimate.
