No matter from whence it comes, praise is always welcome. So, it is not unusual to find, notably with visiting perforioers und some others of that ilk who need not be specified, that they produce press cuttings from most places known to civilization.
"Look at that", they will say with a pride that is swelling it uot gwell.
"See you", one usually feels inclined to reply, but, all com. mercial factors considered, one cloaks or smothers one's honest mantle of opinion with the silence.

OBJECTS AND REASONS The objects and reasons of this. amendment are that under sec- ties (39) of Ordinarice No. 10 of 1899, no junk except a licensed fishing Junk can leave any anchor- age or attempt to leave any port at night.
Clause 2 of this bill is to enable
the Harbour Master to give writ-3 ten permission to other junks to leave at night. This is considered necessary especially in order to facilitate the movements of au- thorised sand funks.
Clause 3 is the suspending clause usual in Orainances relating to Merchant Shipping.
