As with all the new N.Y.K. boats, the Heiyo Maru is fitted with wireless loud-speakers in all the public rooms, which can be connected to receive broadcasting programmes.
Modern life-boat equipment forms yet another feature of this ship, which includes electric self- governing boat davila. Other modern appliances for the safety of life at sea are also fully pro- vided.

TRICKIER TRICKS ON BICYCLES.
KOWLOON YOUTHS FIND A NEW METHOD,
A new method of trick cycling was revealed to Mr. Whyte Smith at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning when a Chinese appeared before his Worship, together with several others, on a charge of rid- ing in a manner dangerous to the public.
A Chinese detective who effect- ed the arrest informed the Court that he saw the defendant with one foot on the saddle" of the machine while he was using the other to peddle the cycle. He proved him- self such an expert at riding that he was bending over and retriev ing stones from the ground and then discarding them to pick them up again.
His Worship asked if the de- fendant were helping the Roads Department to make good the thoroughfares and remarked that he must have been a good rider to be able to do what he was alleged to have done.
A fine of $10 was imposed, the defendant admitting the offence.
Similar fines were imposed on, other trick cyclists.
