The following items are from the F. and T. Times of the 22nd June.

Whether through neglect, or through ini. ciency of public funde, or through both, the fact remains that since the memorable fire nothing has been done to remove a standing dong to public health and a rebuke to civilisation-as the preumbis of the expropriation proclamation rather forcibly puts it constituted by these rains and 1koir insalubrious environment. Thanks to the regenerating infiuence of a progressive administrator and, to the well- directed orgies of the public works officials, the resumption of this district, popularly denominated the old bazaar of San Domingo, has at last been decided upon. Steps are being taken to carry it into effort. The proclamation of the Governor in Council, under the authority of which the expantion is to be enfored, ia published in the Boletín Oficial of the 9th June.

A NEW OBSERVATORY.

Another item of news connected with public works is the approval of an expenditure of fifteen hundred dollars for the fitting up of the Loure adjoining the church in Penha for the purposes of a meteorological observatory. To what extent Government here act upon the anggestions of the Leal Souado in pablle matters will be more readily appreciated when it is ex- plained that the promising improvement in tho meteorological zouvise is the outcome of one of a series of recommendations abodied in the report drawn up by the Senate and presented to the Colonia! National Congress in Lisbon. The report is dated the 15th February, 1901. The recommendations of the Senate in regard to this

observatory are to the following effect:--

In Macaosawbere typhoons are frequent, a meteorogiest station is of much utility for the furnishing of weather forecasts to the seafar ing community. One already exists here under the direction of the Harbour, Master. Notwithstanding that, as a rule, the harbour masters of Macso have devoted much attention to this branch of their work, it must be conceded that these officers have neither the necessary permanence in their offes nor yet time enough to devote seriously to meteorological studies. It is much to be desired that a meteorological observatory may be established in the hermit age of Peaku, like those in Manila and Shanghai, equipped with like appliances and provided with an equally capable personnel. The observatories referred to are under the direction of members of the religious ordor of Society of Jesus, and have rendered great and important services in the cause of commerco and navigation. In Macao it will be easy to organise a similar observatory, relying upon members of the same religious order-the professors of the Seminaris Diocesanc-for its direction. In a short time,

In the month of April-last, the newspapers of Hongkong recorded the death of a supposed American citizen by the name of Ralph Kirk. who, it was surmised, et his end by drowsing The body of the deceased was found on the

unfortunate man was an utter stranger in the loay. A notification has been issued by the judicial authorities calling upon the heirs, creditors and others interested in the deceased to lay their claims for the proporty found on the person of Kirk. It consists of certain trinkets and other articles of jewellery of that little value.

The enquiry into the cause of the fire in the shaft-tunuel of the U. 9. S. Arethusa, water- tender to the United States Navy, in which ten men lost their lives was held yesterday at 2.30. The first witness called was Dr. Bell, Acting Principal Ciril Surgeon of the Colony.

Dr. Bell doposed to the fact of having examined some of the victims of the fire, snd having admitted others injured into the Civil Gérernment Hospital, who had since died from the effects of the injuries received.

His Worship asked if there was an engineer present who could with certainty state whether the oil used for the shaft would creato gases.
