and it has not been thought worth while to offer any explanation to the shareholders, which would assure them that the matter had at least been considered. It seems natural to assume that there has been no thought of discourtesy is this, but that the reason lies simply in the difficulty experienced in finding any good ground for relus ing to follow the example of other similar industrial companies paying

steady dividend of over

10 per cent.

The big docks of Singapore and Hongkong pro- duce their half yearly balance-sheets, but it was not proposed to disturb the established custom of the Bangkok Dock to that extent, No shareholders will doubt that the directors make themselves conversant with the exact financial position of the Company month by manth, or that they could safely fix a reason able dividend at the end of the half year. A much younger company, the Siam Electricity, has hitherto made its financial period six months, but is shortly to adopt the plan of an interim dividend. If that cause no difficulty in the case of the younger organisation, it is difficult to understand why an old established company like the Dock, with's very compre. hensive staff, should not be able to do a mach. anyhow, on the face of it, the sugges tion is reasonable enough; it cannot be con sidered in any way vexatious; and, if only to

It was a peculiarly appropriate passage that the President kissed in taking the oath, the more remarkable from the fact that Clerk McKenny opened the Bible at random. The verses from James i. 22-24 were as follows:

"But be yo,doers of the word, and not heaters only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he behaldeth himself and gaeth his way, and straightway forgetteth 'what

No Toilet Requisities are complete without performing at the Queen's llall, London, three works by Wagner which had never been played in England before. One of these was the "Rule, Britannia," overture, the discovery of which not long ago among a lot of second. hand music at Leicester aroused so much in- terest and discussion. Naturally enough, says a London paper, the work is of very little musical value. Written as it was in 1826, six years before the production of "Rienzi," it has, of course, no pretension to the orchestral science and mastery of Wagner's later years.

The President occupied twelve minutes in delivering his address. Then came a surprise

for most of the thousands who were spectators of the greatest quadrennial event in the city's history. In front of the President's stand there was sprung open a gate, hitherto concealed by the draped hunting. Down upon the level of the plaza a detachment of marines rushed up with a wonden stairway, just as if they were Quickly it was booked into place, and down practising a landing upon some hostile shore. are touches which give a foretaste of what the President stepped, with shining headgear Wagner was afterwards to become, one passage held aloft in acknowledgment of the plaudits of the vast crowd, Advancing hetween the in particular having a distinct suggestion of a

Along the sidewalks for that whole distance, and around the turn and up to the White Ilouse, were surging, craning crowds, deter- mined to see the Chief Magistrate on his way to begin his new occupancy of the White House. Despite the shifting back and forth of the multitude, numbering perhaps almost 500,000, the effective raping of the avenue and activity of hundreds of policemen kept the crowds from trespassing on the fbo feet of reserved space from curb to curb.
