Upon the vote for steamboat inspection, Davies tvok occasion to speak very highly of the new Steamboat Inspector, Mr. Sterns, who, he believed, was eminent- ly well qualitied and discharged his duties with very great cere and attention, With- out disparaging his predecessor, there was no comparison between the efficient way the work is now performed and the perfunctory manner in which it used to be dene.

Upon the vote of $2,006 for P. E. Island Indians, Mr. Campbeli, of Kent, Ont., took exception to the extraordinary price paid for flour supplied the Island Indians ($6.10 a barrel) and to the very large quantity used (71 barrels).

Upon the Post Office service vote, Messrs. Davies and Perry brought up the disap- pointment caused the people of the Island by the unexpected transfer of mails from the Stanley to the iceboats and vice versa, and strongly recemmended that P, Q. In- spector Brecken should be vested with dis- cretion in this matter. Mr, Haggart was under the impression that Mr. Brecken was so empowered, but promised to look into the matter.

INTERESTING PigENOMENA,—Several inter- esting astronomical phenomena will occer in the last decade of the nineteenth century. Mars willbe in opposition in 1892, under conditions more fayorab!e for observation than have occurred for fifteen years, when, in 1877, his two satellites were discovered. Jupiter will be in perihelion in 1892, June 25, when he is about 42,000,000 miles nearer the earth than when in aphelion. Mercury will make a transit on the sun’s disk in 1894, Nov. 10, when the telescope will reveal his presence as a small black spot on the sun’s bright fece. A grand shower of November meteors will take place in 1899, when stars wil] fall from the sky like flukes vf snow, —
