WRIGHTS AND MEANORES.
We are pleased to find that, in the annual report of the Chamber of Commerce, allu- sion is again made to the important question of the metric system of weights and measures, for the compulsory adoption of which the Committee is strongly in favour. The reader is perfectly aware how agitation has been proceeding for a considerable length of time as to the extreme desirability of having uniformity in weight and measures of all commodities in the growing and expanding conditions of the international trade of the world, and those who have followed the
numerous articles which have appeared in
our columns from time to time on the cur- rency question, will have learned that even an international standard of coinage has been mooted. The latter, however, is a far more difficult problem for solution than the change to a metric system of weights, and measures, which in Hongkong, where it is

It looks almost as though the Mother Country has been besitating before adopting the change in a practical form, until finally the colonies, who have so far waited for England to make the adjustment, have petitioned her to de- cide upon uniformity in weights and mea- sures. A compulsory Act is but the last step of many which will bring us into the ranks of the other nations. There fore we view with satisfaction the deci- sion of the Chamber of Commiuree to give financial assistance to the Parliamentary Campaign Fund being raised by the pro- moters of the Bill to ensure a successful issue. This is a step in the right direction, Iand we trust that the day is not far distant when this scientific system of weights and measures will be adopted throughout the Empire at large.

The Chairman, is opening, the proceedings, referred to the report, which he said showed them in a much more favourable position than last year. As the Chairman remarked on that occasion, unless they woke up, they would have to consider the matter of closing up.

It had now been decided to admít deck officers as associate members and twenty-one had joined during the year.
