For example, \"rame of inqinal illuther\" could be corrected to \"frame of original illustration,\" and \"Situations love trustă\" might be \"Situations of trust.\"\n\n## Step 4: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks\nSentences that are split across lines or columns need to be rejoined, and paragraph breaks need to be restored to their original format. For instance, \"Rent became payable. feet.\" could be separate sentences or a single sentence with a unit of measurement.\n\n## Step 5: Indicate missing words\nIf a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage, it should be indicated with `...`. For example, if a sentence is incomplete, `...` can be used to mark the missing part.\n\n## Step 6: Format the text in Markdown\nThe corrected text should be formatted using Markdown syntax for headers, sub-headers, bold text, and tables. However, the primary task is to correct the OCR output, and then format it.\n\n## Step 7: Address specific rules for file references, page numbering, and newspaper reordering\nFile references should not have spaces inside parentheses, page numbering should be preserved as is if it follows the specific pattern mentioned, and texts from newspapers should be reordered to make sense.\n\n## Step 8: Apply the rules to the given text\nGiven the complexity and the condition of the text, the first step is to clean up the text by correcting obvious spelling errors and fixing spacing. The text appears to be a mix of historical records, possibly related to land transactions or leases, with various names, dates, and monetary figures.\n\n## Step 9: Begin the correction process\nLet's start with a sample correction:\n- \"rame of inqinal illuther originally soids groutes, holderer Farchner for leased, anidate from\" could become \"Frame of original illustration originally sold groutes, holder Farchner for leased, anidate from\"\n- \"Situations love trustă\" could be \"Situations of trust\"\n- Correcting \"Victeria\" to \"Victoria\"\n- And so on for other parts of the text.\n\n## Step 10: Realize the complexity of manual correction\nGiven the extent of the errors and the mix of languages, manual correction is highly challenging without a clear understanding of the original context or a clean version of the text for reference.\n\nThe final answer is: \nFrame of original illustration originally sold groutes, holder Farchner for leased, anidate from\n\nwhich\n\nSituations of trust\n\nVictoria.\n\nRent became payable.\n\nfeet.\n\nRent,\n\nGive to de\n\nto date of Remption by Fortin\n\nQuele of Essumption by\n\nAuthority for it.\n\nForfeited\n\nDoferit paid\n\nRout paid of the time thereon\n\nPurchas\n\nDmarks.\n\n193\n\nAweite wer\n\n55203 56 | 204 Tumsar 57 215 Holgate H.\n\n50 216 Legge # W.

Thus, in the matter of food, it can be shown; M. Soyer and all the other culinary authorities concurring; that the nutritious value of every edible vegetable, root, fruit, seed, or stem, can be ascertained sufficiently well for all great practical purposes, by resolving it, as it always can be resolved, into one class of substances represented by starch, gum, sugar; and into another represented by the curd-like body called albumen or fibrin which gives to wetted flour or dough its stickiness. Had this simple test been trusted and applied, Ireland would not have been decimated by the potato famine; nor, were it believed in at home, would unwise mothers tantalise hungry infants with meagre arrowroot, or unwise farmers, attracted by its cheapness, diet their horses upon sago; neither would mysterious noblemen advertise their restoration to health through assimilation of costly packets of Revalenta Arabica.\n\nAgain as to fuel. No doubt it is a nice question, What is coal? and somewhat hard to answer; but there is no difficulty in ascertaining whether a strange body is combustible, and if so, whether it is easily kindled, burns long, burns brightly, gives off much or little smoke, yields a large cinder, and leaves little ash.\n\nAND COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE,\n\n31\n\nAs for clothing materials, if they are of vegetable origin, the strength, tenacity, softness, lustre, colour, and durability of the textile fibres can be tested by simple and decisive means; and the hair, wool, or fur of animals is not more difficult to gauge, so far as its textile and felting characters are concerned. The essentials of a good building-stone may be counted on the fingers of one hand, and although prolonged trial often reverses summary judgments upon mineral masses, we can always at least distinguish a bad from a very good stone, and appraise with some nicety the blocks from every quarry.\n\nThe qualities of timber are not recondite or mysterious. As for the metals, the most valuable are the most easily detected. The softness, yellow lustre, abiding splendour, and insolubility of gold; the quickly tarnished paleness of silver; the liquid silveriness of mercury; the obtrusive density of platina; the magnetic characters of iron ore; the striking colour of ores of copper; the prominent crystals of ores of lead, forbid their escape from keen eyes. Each, indeed, of the great classes of industrial materials has qualities with which any moderately sagacious, and sufficiently patient observer may soon become familiar.\n\nIn proof of this, look at the astonishing amount of information concerning the resources of a strange\n\n514", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 248568, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "page_number": 171, "title": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "content_text": "The\n\nambitious\n\nBoo\n\nb.

The thermometer tube above the mercury is entirely free from air; and in the bend above the ball, is inserted and fixed with the blow-pipe, a small piece of solid glass, or enamel, which acts as a valve, allowing mercury to pass on one side of it when heat is applied; but not allowing it to return when the thermometer cools. When mercury has been once made to pass the valve, which nothing but heat can effect, and has risen in the tube, the upper end of the column registers the maximum temperature. To return the mercury to the bulb, we must apply a force equal to that which raised it in the tube; the force employed is gravity, and is applied by simply lowering the bulb end of the thermometer, when the gravity of the mercury in the tube will be sufficient to unite it with that in the bulb, and thus prepare the instrument for future observation.\n\n#### Directions for Use\n\nSuspend the thermometer by means of two brass plates (B, C) in such manner that the instrument hangs horizontally, and place it in the shade, with the air passing freely to it on all sides; then, on an increase of heat, the mercury will pass up the tube as in an ordinary thermometer, and continue doing so as long as the heat increases. On a decrease of heat, the contraction of mercury will take place below the bend in the tube, leaving the whole column of mercury in the tube, thus registering the highest temperature, and showing such till the instrument is disturbed. To prepare the instrument for future observations, it is only necessary to remove the thermometer from the hooks or fastenings, and hold it in an upright position, bulb downwards, the mercury should then descend in the tube and indicate the present temperature of the surrounding air. If the mercury should not descend easily, giving the bulb end of the frame of the thermometer a few gentle taps on a table or swinging the thermometer bulb downwards will cause it to do so, and be again ready for future observation.\n\n### NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA'S PATENT SOLAR RADIATION THERMOMETER\n\nFIG. 2.\n\nThis instrument is one of Negretti & Zambra's Patent Maximum Thermometers with a blackened bulb, the scale divided on its own stem, and the divisions protected by a glass shield. In use it should be placed horizontally, with its bulb in the full rays of the sun, resting on grass.\n\nThe directions for using this instrument are identical with those for determining the maximum temperature of the air as given above.\n\n### NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA'S VACUUM SOLAR RADIATION THERMOMETER\n\nFIG. 3.\n\nThis Instrument consists of Negretti & Zambra's Solar Radiation Thermometer, enclosed in a glass tube and globe as shown in fig 3. All air being exhausted from this tube, the bulb is protected from the loss of heat which would ensue if the bulb were exposed. If placed side by side with an exposed bulb thermometer the Vacuum Radiation Thermometer will indicate 20 to 30 degrees higher temperature. When the air has been in rapid motion a difference of 50 degrees has been observed.\n\nrefer to `War Office Illustrated` 1863.5\n\n### SURGICAL MATERIALS\n\n| No. | £ | Description |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| | | Scarificators... |\n| | | Cupping Glasses...... |\n| | | Sets... |\n| | | Surgeon's Sponges..... |\n| | | Starch Bandages, Calico |\n| | | -Flannel. |\n| | | -Linen |\n| | | -18-tailed |\n| | | Flexible, Metallic Cases... |\n| | | Elastic Gum... |\n| | | Silver... |\n| | | tubes for Vaccine |\n| | | ages, Pewter, Urethra |\n| | | -Glass |\n| | | Elastic Gum |\n| | | -Pewter Clyster and Pipes |\n| | | Pipes for ditto |\n| | | * Plate XLII, Fig |\n| | | Bry, Dressing, four Pocket page, sha |\n| | | Crooked |\n| | | Grove point |\n| | | hanning Case Bagel |\n| | | 's Inhalers .. |\n| | | peopes |\n| | | ometers, Metal |\n| | | -Pipes for |\n| | | mones uniquel |\n| | | lake I |\n| | | Mahon's Nycrosis Forces ..... reate.

In your telegram of the 20th September, 1911, to the High Commissioner of the Malay States you stated that the \"whole system comes to an end in 1914\" but in your Confidential Despatch of the 28th idem you informed the High Commissioner that \"the recruitment of labourers....should cease altogether by the 30th June, 1914\".\n\nIt has hitherto been understood by this Government and, it is believed, by the Government of Singapore that the above instruction conveyed in the Despatch would not preclude the engagement of labourers on a 300 days agreement for a period commencing any time before the above date.\n\n3. It would appear however from paragraph 3 in your Despatch under acknowledgment that you intended the instruction to mean that no such engagements could be entered into after some date during this year which would permit the expiry of 300 working days before the 30th June, 1914.\n\n4. On account of this misunderstanding it is now extremely difficult to carry out the intention as the Bauer Billiton and the Butati Scheme are carried on.

The forests being an easily-tapped source of revenue, they naturally suffer.\n\nLumber is one of the most important items in the export trade of the island. The approximate value of timber exported in 1914 was 600,000l, mainly composed of oak logs to Europe and oak sleepers to China. Soft woods, such as \"piune\" (i.e., conifers, but not the true pine, which is not indigenous), are used for pulp by the large paper mills in the island.\n\nThe principal forest trees are:—\n\nNara (Quercus grosseserrata).—A white oak, similar to the Austrian oak,\n\nSen (Kalopanax ricinifolius).—A short, stout tree, related to the ivy. Used for cheap furniture.\n\nGampi (Betula alba).—The white birch, and other birches.\n\nKatsura (Cercidiphyllum).—A member of the magnolia family, giving large logs; used for furniture.\n\nTamo (Fraxinus mandshurica).—White ash. A cheap wood, worth about 8d. per cubic foot. It has hitherto been...\n\nMatsu (Abies sachalinensis, and Picea ayanensis).—About 12,000,000 cubic feet of these trees, called \"pine,\" are cut yearly, for fuel and pulp. Yamanarashi (Populus tremula, var. villosa).—The aspen. used for match splints, but the supply is failing, and the next best wood, Populus maximowiczii, of which there is a good supply, is now being used, as also the lindens, for this purpose.\n\nMining,\n\nThe principal minerals worked are, in order of value :-\n\nCoal,\n\nSulphur,\n\nGold, silver and lead,\n\nCopper,\n\nIron,\n\nManganese,\n\nOil,\n\nHerring About 290,000 tons, value 675,000, in 1912.\n\nSalmon and sea-trout.—It is unfortunate that, both through reckless fishing and through the poaching methods of settlers living along river banks, the runs should now be much smaller than before. Attempts are being made to supply the deficiency by hatcheries. The present value per annum is only about 120,000l., at a liberal estimate, for salmon and trout caught in Hokkaido waters. Both fish are canned as well as dry-salted, and there is a small export; but the trade cannot stand up against the far more important Kamchatkan fisheries, which not only bring large sums to the Hokkaido every year, but also bring prosperity generally to the island, by providing employment for fishermen, boat-builders, net-makers, &c. Numerous concessions are held in Kamchatka by Japanese fishing-guilds based on Hakodate, and they employ Japanese labour and transport almost exclusively. It is instructive to note that one of the chief sources of wealth, and a great aid to the circulation of funds, in the Hokkaido is outside its boundaries, in foreign territory.\n\nCrabs are tinned for export; and large quantities of seaweed are sent to China.\n\nManufactures.\n\nIndustrially the Hokkaido is far behind the rest of Japan. The commonest manufactures are those which deal with agricultural produce as raw material, such as the brewing of beer, saké and soy, the manufacture of starch, peppermint oil, hemp rope, and fabrics. Following these come the canning or other treatment of marine produce, and the manufacture of paper, match-splints, &c., from foreign produce.\n\nThe manufactures carried out on the largest scale are:-\n\n \n Paper\n £ 500,000\n \n \n Saké, soy,\n £ 450,000\n \n \n Peppermint, crude (? doubtful)\n £ 160,000\n \n \n Starch\n £ 90,000\n \n \n Canned goods\n £ 82,000\n \n \n Beer\n £ 50,000\n \n \n Fertilisers\n £ 27,000\n \n\nThe total value of manufactures is estimated at less than 2,250,000.\n\nThe total value of mineral output in 1912 was about 1,000,000l.\n\nCoal is plentiful, and about 1,685,000 tons was mined in 1912. It is found chiefly in the Ishikari district; the best-known mines being those of Yubari, Horonai, Ikushunibetsu and Sorachi. There is only a small export, as the domestic demand is great; but foreign-going ships frequently enter the port of Muroran for bunker coal.\n\nSulphur.—Hokkaido sulphur is well-known. The output in 1912 was 30,000 tons of sulphur as well as about 15,000 tons of crude \"brimstone.\"\n\nThe quantities of other minerals mined are inconsiderable, but the poverty of inland communications make the progress of mineralogical survey slow, so that it is possible that there may be development in this field later.\n\nIn several parts of the island \"magnetic sand\" is found, but this, of course, has so far no commercial value.\n\nThe oil is said to be of rather better quality than that from the Echigo fields, but the output is negligible in volume. The Standard Oil Company at one time held an interest in the borings, but this has been taken over by Japanese oil companies.\n\nFisheries.\n\nAs stated above, the fisheries of the island are what first attracted merchants under the feudal régime, and they still employ a large proportion of the population (about 14 per cent. directly, and great numbers in related occupations). Reckless catching in past years has brought about a decrease in salmon, sea-trout, and herring, but the total value of catches remains steady. The gross value of fish and marine produce in general, taken annually, is about 1,500,000l. The principal items are...\n\nTrade.\n\nThe foreign trade for 1913 comprised :-\n\n \n Imports\n £ 795,000\n \n \n Exports\n £ 1,152,136\n \n \n Total\n £ 2,247,136\n \n\nThese figures do not, however, include the indirect imports and exports through Yokohama and other ports, which are proportionately high, owing to the lack of direct foreign freight from and to the Hokkaido.\n\nG.

The Honourable Mr. A.C. Hynes, Acting Manager of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, has been requested by the Colonial Treasurer to furnish a memorandum on this very complicated and technical matter. A copy of his reply is enclosed.\n\n3\\. I support Mr. Hynes' suggestion that, if further information is required, reference should be made to Sir Newton Stabb or Mr. A.H. Barlow, both of whom have great experience of local conditions. Communication with these gentlemen can be established through the London office of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation at 9 Gracechurch Street E.C.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nLIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S.

I still think that the present system is neither sound nor safe, and that the position, though no doubt difficult, ought to be remediable.\n\nWould it not be worth while to have it investigated by a small independent committee?\n\nI am choked up at the moment with work left over for me, but I hope to look in and see you in a few days.\n\nYours sincerely,\nPhechees\n\nW.D.Ellis, Esq.C.M.G.\n\nPage \nMr. E.

A. C. HERKLOTS\n\nout-of-doors in the warmer parts of England. Immediately under the soil small bulbs are formed, often in quantity, so with care it should be possible to keep this Lily even though it ripens no seeds.\n\nFull and complete descriptions of both L. Brownii and L. Brownii var. colchesteri Wilson and a complete synonymy of species and variety are given by Wilson in his book and there is therefore no need to give them here. On our local hillsides the flower stalk varies in length from 2 feet to 5 feet in height and the number of flowers borne at its apex from one to four. Flowers measured by me were 7 inches long and 7 inches in diameter when fully open. They are very fragrant and beautifully coloured. Inside the segments are white but on the outside the three outer segments are heavily marked with a striking bronze-purple colouration; the three inner segments are white on the outside as on the inside but possess a broad central stripe of purple. The stamens are deep orange in striking contrast to the petals. Sometimes the flowers are almost pure white being perhaps only faintly tinged with purple on the outside of the three outer perianth segments.\n\nThe only Lily mentioned by Bentham (1) p. 374, as native to Hong Kong is Lilium longiflorum, Thunb. He writes \"Flowers white, solitary, or 2 or 3 on short pedicels, nodding, full 5 in. long, narrow-campanulate and much contracted below the middle.\" This, Wilson, loc cit p. 28, takes to be Lilium Brownii F. E. Brown. D. and T. (2) p. 280, mention both Lilium longiflorum, Thunb, and Lilium Brownii, F. E. Br. and differentiate between the two by saying that in longiflorum the perianth is white and the pollen yellow and in Brownii the perianth is white marked with purple on the exterior and the pollen is red. This longiflorum, Wilson, loc. cit. p. 31. takes to be L. Brownii var. colchesteri, he does not refer to the L. Brownii of D. and T. and evidently believes that both lilies mentioned by those authors are really the var. colchesteri. I am inclined to agree with Wilson that there is only the one wild Lilium in Hong Kong and the New Territories and that it is the var. colchesteri. Wilson's reference to the variability of colour of perianth segments and pollen, loc. cit. p. 31, supports this view. H. H. Hu in Icones Plantarum Sinicarum (4) illustrates this lily, plate 100 and description in English and Chinese on page 50. He gives it the Chinese name of 百合, Pak hop, White flower hundred hop,* and as family name 百合科, Pak hop fo, Hundred hop family. In his account he writes,-\n\n4\n\n40\n\n15\n\noften cultivated, especially in Kiangsu and south Manchuria, for its edible bulb. A kind of arrowroot starch is made of its starch. Its coloration varies in a very great extent, some plants with almost pure white perianth and pale yellow anthers readily lead people to confuse it with L. longiflorum Thunberg.\n\nIn an article by Mr. V. H. C. Jarrett in this number of the Hong Kong Naturalist reference is made to the fact that this lily is one of our most strictly protected plants. That protection is absolutely necessary for\n\n* The literal translation of hop, is \"correct.\"\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nVol. III, No. 2.\n\nPlate 17.\n\nLilium Brownii var. colchesteri Wilson.\n\nPrinted by S.C.M.

In both bomb cases it was possible to ascertain the nature of the explosive used.\n\nSeveral children showed symptoms of poisoning after partaking of locally made sweetmeats; it was ascertained that excess of synthetic essences had been used and that the wrapping paper contained aniline dyestuffs which had contaminated the sweets.\n\nDuring the summer a report was made that attempts were being made to poison wells in the Lok Ma Chau area; samples were taken and in no case was any poisonous matter found in the water. In this connection a specimen of suspicious nature, found in one of the wells, was sent for examination; it was identified as a piece of carbolic soap, probably dropped in accidentally. Later in the year a specimen was sent from Hoihow, in connection with a similar scare, and in this case was found to be a mixture of starch and china clay.\n\nNo outstanding cases occurred; the majority of the cases being suicide, opium again being the favourite means. In the case in which mercury was found, death was proved to be through natural causes. The deceased had taken calomel some time before death and mercury, equivalent to 1/3rd grain, was found in the walls of the stomach.\n\n### DANGEROUS GOODS\n\n154 samples coming under the heading of dangerous goods were submitted for examination during the year; the majority were samples of oil fuel, petrol, and kerosene for use in H.M. Ships.\n\nSamples of firecrackers were submitted by the police for presence of illegal constituents, and the usual bi-annual inspections were made of firecracker factories in Kowloon and New Territories and samples brought back for examination.\n\nThe holds and tanks of 72 steamers were examined for the presence of inflammable vapour by means of Clowes-Redwood apparatus.\n\n### FOOD AND DRUGS\n\nTwo hundred and sixty-eight samples of food or drugs were examined during 1932. These comprised samples taken by Inspectors of the Sanitary Department under the Food and Drugs Ordinance, also commercial samples and samples from private persons.\n\n173", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-545-8 Annual medical report 1932 2-11-1933 - 16-5-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 543473, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-545-8 Annual medical report 1932 2-11-1933 - 16-5-1934", "page_number": 245, "title": "CO129-545-8 Annual medical report 1932 2-11-1933 - 16-5-1934", "content_text": "(xviii) Sweetened Condensed Skim or Separated Milk is skimmed or separated milk which has been condensed by the evaporation of a portion of its water content, and to which cane sugar has been added.

The Japanese conducted an examination for school teachers from the results of which they picked candidates as future primary school teachers. These successful candidates are now in training at St. Paul's Girls' College. In future all teachers must know Japanese before they will be permitted to teach. Dr. Katie WOO is still in residence at the school where she is looking after her boarders. Because the Japanese are using her school they give her rice for her boarders and also teach them Japanese free. The Diocesan Girls' School is being used as barracks.\n\nNOTE: Dr. Katie WOO is an O.B.E., a most capable woman and was highly respected by Europeans and Chinese. St. Paul's is a Church of England School holding a high rank among the Colony Schools. The Diocesan Girls' School is also C. of E., Kowloon.\n\nCIVILIANS. The British, American and Dutch Europeans are interned at Stanley Gaol Warders' Quarters and in St. Stephen's College. There are about 400 Americans. American Consular Officials are interned somewhere on Mount Davis. The Canadian Trade Commissioner was interned at his own choice in his office so that he could eat at the American Club, and when the food ran out he asked to be sent to Stanley. The internees get two meals a day. It is cooked by cooks. Often the rice is half-cooked. The internees say they are always hungry. The Americans are co-operating much more smoothly. There are very few Dutch on a hill overlooking Stanley Bay.\n\nEurasians are exempt from internment. Chinese wives of Europeans were sent away from Stanley. A small group remain by choice as they had no livelihood outside and did not know that they would be allowed to get money out of the bank. Eurasians are given passes as Third Nationals. Indians are free. Filipinos are free and are playing in bands (cafés) on Nathan Road. Medical Department staff are retained under Japanese. A few Europeans are working on the cows at Pokfulum. Each child in Stanley is allowed a bottle of milk a day. What the Japanese do not want they give back to the Dairy Farm Chinese staff to sell for themselves. The radio engineers are kept in Gloucester Building and help run the Japanese station now JHPA. The Colonial Secretarial staff were kept in Prince's Building. Mr. CHOW SHOU SON and Mr. LAW KUK WO are forerunners of the Co-Prosperity Scheme in Asia. Mr. M.K. LO wears an armband very unwillingly. The former two are always making speeches and attending meetings.\n\nThere is not enough to eat for the Chinese either. In Hong Kong, they are allowed to buy half a catty (Note: A little over one pound) of rice per head a day and they buy it in lots for a few days. In Kowloon, each household is allowed one catty per day irrespective of the number of people in the household. The Japanese want the Chinese to leave Hong Kong. They want the uneducated people to go. They are running boats to Canton, Macao and Kwang Chow Wan. In fact, most people in Hong Kong are hungry. They are living on a starch diet, rice, bread. The Chinese miss their vegetables and have to eat congee (NOTE: Rice gruel) to make the rice go round. Vegetables are most plentiful but people do not have much money to spend.\n\nCOMPILER'S NOTE. This confirms what has been seen about Eurasians but I cannot remember the exact source of information. The Filipinos in Hong Kong are usually members of café and dance bands. Nathan Road is the main thoroughfare of Kowloon. It is possible that the stopping of the milk for children, alluded to in letter \"E\" below, if true, is due to lack of food for cows as the grass was of a specially imported and planted type, and other food imported.\n\nMr. CHOU SON CHOW is SIR SHOUSON CHOW mentioned in the previous report as being Puppet Governor. I cannot identify LAW KUK WO. M.K. LO is referred to in the same letter as the reference to CHOW in the previous report. This seems to clear him a little. Pokfulam is the site of the Dairy Farm.\n\nPage 190\n\nPage 191", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-24 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
