MUSIC AND X-RAYS

In matters musical, Mr. Froat has also taken the keenest interest. He was choirmaster of the Sect- tish Church in Singapore for six years before coming to Hougtong, and in 1906 he formed the fret choir for St. Andrew's Church, Kowloon. For that church, he bought its first organ with money subscribed by members, front Messrs. Walker and Co., of London, this being grected under his super- | vision and that of Mr. E. J.

from, the organ chamber was done by Mr. Frost in conjunction with. the late Mr. A. H. Hewitt, of the Green Island Cement Company.

Mr. Frost has also shown much practical interest in X-Ray work, all of which he did for the hospital and doctors in Singapore from 1807 to 1904, whilst in Hongkong he has acted as honourary consulting ex- pert th most of the hospitals.

His many friends will wish him well-earned rest, and entertain the hope that he will later return to the Colony.
