İNTERVIEW WITH THE MANAGER.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
At the last meeting of the council of the Sydney Chamber of Commerce, the president, Mr. G. S. Littlejohn, reported the result of an interview with Mr. C. H. Reynolds, general manager of the Pacific cable, regarding certain Improvements which he had secured for the commercial community.

Mr. Reynolds, said the president, stated that correction messages would be called for free of init al charge to the nierchant, who would pay ultimately, unly in the event of the cable being proved correct. That was a great concession, as-persons using the cable were at present obliged to deposit the cost of calling for the correction and the cost of the reply. It had also been arranged for commercial firms to make deposits of fixed sums of money to stand against their cables until exhausted, an advan-hour. tage in comparison with the existing system, whereby cables must be prepaid in c.sh. Mess ges would also be issued in duplicate, as was now done by the Eastern Extension Company.
With regard to the establishment of inde- pendent offices in Sydney, Mr. Reynolds said the Paciße Board would not undertake the ex- pense, as it would involve the contributing Governments (the partners of the cable) in the heavy expense of rent and management. The board should have the advantage of the postal and telegraph organisation of the Australian
Governments. They did not wish to go to the expense of erecting a separate wire to South- port (Queensland). Mr. Reynolds considered that if the public thought the national all-red route deserving of a fair share of business, they would support it. Every effort would be made to deserve success. The cable, in his opinion, would prove invaluable in time of war. The board intended to gain for their customers all facilities enjoyed by the users of the Eastern route.
-The cable, Mr. Reynolds pointed out, was only opened for traffic in December last, con- sequently three months' revenue was all that could be set off against 24 years' expenses from the first initiation of the business. The figures were-Expenditure-21 years to March 31,

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE, It is a feeling common to the majority of us that we do not get quite the amount of hap piness we are entitled to.

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION have not attained their high position in the confidence of the people by bald assertions and boasting advertisements. They are obliged to win it by doing actually what is claimed for them. That this remedy deserves its reputation is conceded. It is palatable as boney and contains the nutritive and curative properties of Pare Cod Liver Oil, combined with the Comp. Syrup of Hypophosphites. Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. Nothing has such a record of success in Scrofula, Anemia, Nervous Debility, Influenza, Throat and Lung Troubles, and all emaciating com- plaints and disorders, that tend to undermine the foundations of strength and vigour. Its use helps to show life's brighter side. Dr. W.

Australia, Mr. Reynolds sald, paid one-third in our present stock of Pianos and Musical
