The lato eminent Oculist, Dr. Soelberg Wells, testified that he had no hesitation in stating that t the haphazard plan of aules- ting Spectacles-employed by some Opti- sinus-was frequently attended by serious consequences; that eyes were often per mauently injured, which might, by skilful adaptation of glasses, have been preserved for years.

Since that time the statue to the late Sir Arthur Kennedy has been raiand, and the project to perpetusite the memory and the work of Governor Mac- Donnell has not bean revived. ·Â ̈remark made the other day by an old resident, to the effect that the name of Richard Graves MacDonnell better deserved to be, no- membered in this Colony than that of any other men, has suggested the re- auscitation of the idea that had been former. ly a conuusly set on uno side. The memorial need not be a statue, and wo fapoy that a ward in the Alice Memorial Hospital, bearing the honoured name of MacDonnell, would perhaps best meet the views of those who knew Sir Richard in the eventful sixties and evention of his vigo- rous regio. There are many residente still in the Colony-European and native alikombo hold strong views on this point; many who maintain, and with reason, that Sir Richard MacDonnell was the strongest, the ablest, and the fittest Governor over known by Hongkong; and many who think that it is an unpardonable omission that his claims to be remembered should not have been recorded long years ago. We merely give utterance to this senti ment, and would now suggest that those HONGKONG, ZUESDAY, JULY 31, 1888. who are men of leading should at ondo act upon the hint Oạy thing is certain. No Ova attention was drawn by Mr J. J.object can be gained now by such a mo Francia, in a note published in last issues sement other than that of the simplest to the fact that the Vaccination Ordinance and purest expression of admiration for 1888, although passed subsequently to the the man and appreciation of what ke Public Health Bill, ignored the Sanitary did for the Colony. There is no room for Board altogether, Mr Francis contende toadyism of any kind whatsoever, and its that the Sanitary Board is the body which doing abould therefore bo all the pleasanter ought to be the authority upon such a vital for those who take action matter as vaccination; bot points out that the Governor in Comcil and the Registrar General are the authorities apocially unen- tioned in the Ordinance who are empowered to carry out its provisions. Mr Francis goes on to say that, although the Public Boalth Bill gives the Sanitary Board power to make Bye-laws for the 'mitigation or prevention of epidemio, endemic, or con- tagious disease among scimals," no such power is given to the Board in regard to the human inhabitants of the Colony until Lafter some formidable spidemic has actually brokon ont. Now, those statements, if no curately mode, show that a wretchedly loose system of dealing with Sanitary mattern has been followed up to the present time; and we presume the learned Queen's Counsel is desirous of showing to the public a better. way than that of how not to do it. At the same time, a worthy resident has ro. presented to us that the statements made by Mr Francis are both inaccurate and misleading. His assertion that the Sanitary Beard has nu power to deal with contagious disease amongst the Colonists, although the Board may check it in animals, in alleged to bo insecurate. Probably the best way to elucidate this point is to give the Section (31 of the Public Health Ordinance), with the remark that, when the Bill was passing
