The proposal is bliegou to arise from or in the Federated States of the Malay Peninsula, Certain suggestions were made from Chesa Stairs to the Colonial Office, and the Colonial Offics, iu replying to these suggestions, intimated that the home and better bo lažel toforo the civil sorrauls of the colony, so that

To take six invaths leave pa full pay evory the years, and to spoust that in Europe, voull sait Une bachelor admirably. He would only have his own travelling expanses to pay, and, inasmuch as the pay, while on leave, is draw on the basis of a four-shilling dollar, it follows that aix months' lesre on full four. shilling dollar pay would suffice for dis ex- renes, and perhaps leave a hit to the goad.

To move a wifecul, possibly, a family is a different matter from trolling alone, and it is probable that. while 2018 frontct leave for short periods would suit the bachelor, the married man might prefer the present arrangement, which tenda to fuking are Las truquently and for a Lago Viso.
