WEATHER REPORT.

The Hongkong Observatory yesterday issued the following report:-

his is all that I can say with regard to the ovents at Kishineff, but it has all been said long ago by zao. If you ask me what, in my opinion, the Jews ought to do, my answer in that case, us in others, is the logical outcome of that Christian teaching which I strive to understand and to follow. For the Jews, as for all men, one thing, and one thing only, is necessary for salvation; to follow us closely us may to the universal rule, unto others as you would that others should do unto you. They thould fight the Government not by violenco-that weapon should be left to the Government-but by virtuons living to the exclusion not only of all violence towards their neighbours, but of all participation in violence even when called upon by Government instruments of violence for their own advantage. Old and hackneyed as it is, that in all that I can say with regard to the horrible evonds at Kiekíneff.
