The changes require, among other things ́that metal air tanks in wooden lifeboats be provided, and prohibit the use of loose or compressed granulated cork in the man- ufacture of life-cafts or life presoryers, or the use of kapok life preservers. Life presorvers must be suspended on wooden slats of cotton corels and not on wire, and at a height of not more than goven feet from the deck, and there must be one life preserver for every passenger and member of the crew on all vessels. All passenger steamers must be provided with firs buckets, barrels, and axes instead of on inland steamers only, as before.
The regulations require that steam fire pumps shall be capable of throwing an of fective stream of water for a distance of not 1376 less than fifty foet through at least two fire
connections each on the main deck and each. deck above the main deck. On excursion steamers the rules call for one additional watchman for every 200
persons carried and two deckhands for every 250 persons, Ferryboats engaged in excursions must carry the same officers, crew and equipment as required for excursion steamers,

The latest obosity cure, for men and women, is the throwing of somersaults on swedish principles of calisthenics." Daily Paper.
Stout mon and women ye have climbed
to grace,
The Gods are kind! And have allowed you to regain the place
You left behind.
For, turning somersaults superfluous fat
Will soon reduce;
And henceforth drugs and potions will
for that
Find little use,
The body corpulent can quickly be,
(So run the newa)
By apt gymnastics of its fat made free
By they that choose.
"Oh that this too, too solid flesh would
melt !"

Likewise have sighed.

The Secretary having road the notice convening the meeting the Chairman read his annual report an follows:-
Gentlemen, With your approval I pro- pose to take the report and accounts as read. The receipts for ice as compared with the year 1903, show a decrease of about $7,800, the major part of which is traceable to the absence of Japanese steamers; on the other hand I am pleased to say revenue received from cold storage exceeds that of 1903 by $1,300, and from this branch of our business, the prospects of which appear to be satisfactory, we look for increased earnings in the future. Turn ing now to the other side of the account, under the heading of salaries, wages and general trade expenses there has been a saving of $9,600.
The new machine referred to at the last meeting was completed in July, and has since been working eatisfactorily. In order to ensure our keeping paco with demand it has been necessary to order seven new ice boxes, and at no distant date it is hoped calls on our cold storage will nceoesitate the insulation of the two rooms already built for that purpose.
With this outlay to face, and also bearing in mind the possibility of opposition which is ever before them, your general managers have considered it pru- dent to appropriate a further sum of $25,000 for provision for contingencies, and this

His Excellency Sir Matthew Nathan expressed Mrs May's thanks for the pleasure she felt in distribut.. ing the prizes and said that the present regatta originated through his desire to help sport as much as possible, in recollec- tion of the days when he himself used to row. In view of the number of events held by the V. R. C. at their regatta he thought it best to giva u Challenge Cup latter on in the season and so keep rowing up for a longer period of the year.

fine passing transferred the play into their opponent's area. After several unsuccess- fal attacks Coyne scored for the Naval Yard, and shortly afterwards Gladwell added another goal. In the second term the game was fast and play travelled from end to end of the field. The Naval team were in the ascendancy, however, and Taikoo, Coyne again scored for the Naval safely repulsed all the attacks made by Yard, and several hard ones, were subse- quently saved by Taikoo's goalkeeper.

A meeting of the Kulangseu ratepayers was hold' to-day for the rare privilege of passing in review the action of their Coun- cil, particularly as exhibited in its balance sheet for 1904, and its Budget for the present year. The meeting was a highly representative one, and looked a very com. fortable and rospectable one. The chair was taken by the American Consul, and the Council's report of the chief measures that had been carried out during the year was quickly passed as there was nothing very It was a Apecially uninteresting one; and about as dull as reports usually are, and it would have required a very inventive genius to have discovered anything in it worth criticising.

The next thing to be discussed was the expenditure for 1904. Here was ample
room for very forcible, remarks, as the sums paid out seemed unnecessarily large, amounting in all to the formidable aggregate of $22,308. For some time there has been a strong feeling in the community that the annual expenditure has been very much larger than it ought to be, and that those who have had the disbursing of the money have large and imperial views of finance, Buch 15 would be moro appropriate in a Chancellor of an Exchequer, than in a Council of A small island like Kalungseu, whose total circumference is

There was another item in the proposed Budget that was very vigorously called in question and that was the sum of $150 HEAL OFFIOR:-TAIPEH, FORMOSA. CAPITAL, PAIL-UP......GOLD 83,947,200 that appeared under the head. of Thes- trea. The Council in 1904 hnd licensed
a theatre on Kulangsou, where girls and women were engaged as performers.
This was decided innovation, and one highly disapproved of by the better and more respectable of the Chinese. The mo- ral sentimont indeed of all classes of the people is opposed to women acting on the stage, and so in the theatrical profession men dressed- up as women always take the female parte.
It was stated that this very troupe that had been sanctioned by the council had ne- tually been forbidden by the Chinese au- thorities to perform in Amoy, because their playing there would be hurtful to the morale of the citizens. The majority of the Council evidently had different views on the subject, since they boldly proposed to perpetuate an ovil that was opposed to the moral instincts of the best men in the community.
