Port Moresby, July 6.

THE visit to Papua and New Guinea this month of the Australian Governor- General (Mr. McKell) has been re sponsible for a few minor improvements around the town; but, on the whole the visit is being awaited quite calmly.

Some people say it is a pity the King is not coming—then we might get the new swimming-baths and the dozens of other things that would make Moresby pleasant to live in.

Of course, we have got the new bus, which looked like going to the natives at one stage. One of the old buses is to provide a service for natives.

Miss Angela Eaton, ste^-daughter of Mr. J. Maxwell, British District Agent in Santo, New Hebrides, has arrived in Syd ney to join the “Maloja” for England.

Before departure, she was entertained by

friends at the home (on Venue Island) of Mr. and Mrs Maxwell.
