HONGKONG'S WAY.
The new Ferry Wharf at Kowloow was opened this week, and if has not met with general approval. Indeed, there has been quite a deal of criticism offered, and not without reason. In some respecte it is shows little improvement upon the old wharf; in at least one it is not so good. From the moment of turning into Salisbury Road the intending passenger could see, from the position of the old signal, whether or no he was able to catch the next ferry. Then he hurried or not as the occasion required. The signals on the now wharf are so low that they cannot be seen until the passenger is quite close to the wharf, and, for any useful purpose they serve, they might as well not be placed there at all. Signals which do not signal' are useless, and why they were not raised a bit so that they could be seen from a distance is a matter for wonder, Probably it did not occur to those concerned to find out whether they could be seen or not. That is essentially a Hongkong way of doing thinge.
