If time permits there is institutions. also a quaint little hamlet, Ap- plichau, which can be reached in a few minutes by sampan. The re- turn journey from Aberdeen can be made by launch, in which case the acenery fringing the harbour ap proaches will be found very re- freshing after the spell through the Chinese quarters of Aberdeen and Applichau.
For the individual who cares not for the joys of mootring a casual walk through the heart of the city will reveal much of interest in the way of public buildings and statues, including-although some way out-the University of Hong Kong. There are taxicabs and jinrikishas, not to mention sedan chairs, but in the case of the two latter the legal fare should always be ascertained beforehand as other wise the "stranger within the gates" may find himself the victim of profiteering..
As an alternative a visit may be commended to Kowloon Tong, which lies off the main bus and motor road in Kowloon, namely, Nathan Road. This is destined to be a model settlement and garden city combined, and the self- contained houses, each with a strip

The Seven-Eyed "Kkanyon" exhibited at
MESSRS. KOMOR & KOMOR
The Sculptor of China is the oldest art we know and lately figures and animals have been found which are so perfect in de sign and life like attitude that they wall compare with the best period of Greece. There is a pair of "Kwanyon" exhibited at Messrs. Komor & Komor's art gallery corner of Ice House Street and Chater Road of Thibetian origin supposed to be of the Sung Dynasty A.D. 969-1273. They are 4 feet high and wonderfully pre- served the right hand to right knee suggests "I swear by the earth" "The left hand with the eye upwards in attitude of teaching de- notes."
I see everything, I see everything,
I promise! I warn! I give you all
but
Keep to my instructions.
It is remarkable what influence these figures have on every- ane who seen them especially ladies seem to be hypnotised and come |again and again to see them and as they say feel happy and con-
tented after gazing at the Kwanyon.

It is said that Budhistic figures influence certain persons and according to Chinese belief a Budhistic figure which fascinates you is sure to bring luck, health, and happiness to you if you possess it and the great sage Mr. Komor tells some remarkable authentic stories of Buddhas which changed the life of many people through the influence of Budhistle Egures.
It may be the pleasing features or artistic attitude which suits, the nerves and we would recommend you if you feel nervous or you are out of luck, to go and see Messra. Komor & Komor's well known art gallery and find out what truth there is in this Oriental superstition.
Komor & Komor's art gallery is open from 9 am to 5p.m one block from Hong Kong landing of the Kowloon ferry.
