TO THE OWNERS OF DOMESTIC BUILDINGS.

TAKE NOTICE that under No. 5 of

the DOMESTIC CLEANLINESS and

VENTILATION BYE-LAWS (as amended),

every Dumestie Building or part of such Building within the CENTRAL DIVISION of the CITY OF VICTORIA and the WESTERN DIVISION af KAU-LUNG occupied by members of more than one family must be CLEANSED and LIMEWASHED THROUGHOUT by, the owner during the months of September and October,

N..

THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND BUILD- INGS ORDINANCE COMMISSION. TAKE NOTICE that, a Commission has

been appointed to enquire into, and seport on the following matters, viz. :-

1. Whether the administration of the Sani

tary and Building Regulations enacted by the Public Heakh and Huildings Ordin ance, 1903, as now carried out is satisfac tory, and, if not, what improvements can be made.

2. Whether any irregularity or corruption exists or has existed among the officials charged with the administration of the aforesaid Regulation.

10

The Commission earnestly invite the in habitants of Hongkong and Kowloon co-operate with them by forwarding any com- plaint they may have to make or suggestion to to the Undersigned.

One of the most remarkable passage on record is that of the ship State of Maine, Captain F. D. P. Nickles, which sailed from Hongkong in 1880 and reached New York in ninety-two days. The ship S. P. Hitchcock, Capt. J. B. Nichols, made four passages from San Francisco to New York in seventy-six days, one hundred days, one hun- dred and one days, and one hundred and eight day. These passages were made in the early '80s. The thip Henrietta, Capt. James C. Gil more, was another one of the fast old clippers. She sailed from Port Townsend, February 1890, and reached Buenos Ayres in seventy-two DAYS.

Few fast passages are reported nowadays. One of the reasons is that most of the present day sailing ships have their lofty yards sent down.

Few, sky-sail yards are now seen, Stun'sails, which were once used on every wind-jammer, are now a thing of the past, and the modera freighter, which is propelled by the wind, le ball for a cargo carrier and 'pot, as formerly, to make speed.

Practically all the expnit trade of the Pacific coast, with the exception of three or four lines of steam ships, is done in foreign balioms. There is never an American wheat ship sailing from the; Sound unless it is bound for some coastwise port

The French ships have a monopoly on this trade. The heavy haunty given the French vessels enables them to make a trip around the world in ballast alone and still make money on
