Hurricane Season in Cook Is.

From Our Own Correspondent

Rarotonga, Jan. 25.

THUS far the hurricane season has passed without any destructive gales to the islands of the lower group, although a rather disturbing fall of the glass took place at Rarotonga and Aitutaki about the middle of the month. The low pressure persisted for two or three days, and then passed off with out any abnormal disturbance to weather conditions.

We are out of touch with the islands of the northern group. Penrhyn, Manihiki and Rakahanga, but we have no reason to fear that the Tagua, which left here shortly be fore Christmas, did not reach the lagoon at Penrhyn soon after the New Year.

The two most dangerous months from the point of view of weather and also health (February and March) have yet to be faced.

We shall be pleased when April arrives.
