day that Dr Sun had been removed from the Peking Medical College Hospital to the residence formerly belonging to Dr. Wellington Koo has created various rumours in the capital.

In some quarters, it is inferred that Dr. Sun's condition has now reached a hopeless stage, though those who are in close coo: tact with Dr. Sun declare that there is nothing serious, and that he left the hospital merely on account of his own circumstances.

The storms affecting Hongkong come from the East, passing in the neigh- bourhood of the Philippines or between these island's and Formosa. As was stated by the Chamber of Commerce when it first asked for the provision of such a station for the benefit of shipping in South China, typhoons often change their track on enter- ing the China Sea, and unless the wireless Observatory receives messages from ships in the vicinity, doubt aften exists as to the new course of the storm and as to the area at which it is likely to enter the coast.
