straw, writes An Old Sandog in Evening News,
The Admiralty have just issued an instruction which according to many retired admirals, will com- pel our sailors to carry their own wardrobes with them—
In foreign countries officers are not to wear uniform except at ports at which their ships are lying, and with the same
ception great discretion should. be exercised in allowing men to appear in uniform.
This obvioulsy means that the gallant blue-jackets will have to attire themselves carefully in civilian clothes whenever they de for a jaunt beyond the port; and this, in the eyes of the seaman of Pall Mall and Picendilly, is the beginning of the end...

HONG KONG TIDE
The tide-table riven below has been obtained by nid of the Tide-predict- ing Machine, which includes 40 com- ponents for the better prediction of ikles, from the result of the analysis of the tidal observations, taken at the Kowloon tidal observatory under the direction of Dr. Daberck during the years 1887, 1888 and 1989.
The times and heights are given for Kowloon; but they may be used for the Victoria Naval Yard and Aberdeen, the differences being very small
The times of high and low-water must not be. considered to coincide with the times of slack-water and
change of current, the two phenomena being quite distinct.
