In the polling ander the Tamperance (Local Option) Act, Edinburgh returned an emphatic verdict for No Change.

Among the curiosities of the Temperance polla the vote which makes the Island of Lewis "dry"? will rank high. Levis, on the West Coast of Scotland, is the third in size of the British Isles, and it has not in the Past won a reputation of abstemjon meas But now it becomes unique as the only complete homogeneous area in the Western world which has forsworn strong drink. It is to be suspected, that there is more in this than meets the eye, Before the Temper ance Act was heard licenses had yanish- ad from the landward parts of Lewis by landlord and magisterial netion, with the result that the licensed trado was comeen- trated at Stornoway.
