Reports of a committee appointed to no into the matter were received from Rev. J. W. Crofoot and Mr. J.N. Bayward, the latter of whom spoke of meetings with the 9.M.U. The Council, be said, would give no smarance of adopting any new Cattitude until the present opium etonks were disposed of.

Aseuming it to be released 5,030 feet above the earthi-lower than which the aviator runs the risk of being brought down-it would be travelling at nearly 600 ft. a second at the earth's surface, or at more then a quarter of the speed at which a bullet leaves tho British service rifle.
