An interesting double wedding took place at St. Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday last, the contracting parties being Miss Landsberg, eldest daughter of the late Mr. W. Landsberg, Fltzroy Reserve, and Mr. W. Holt, who was until recently for many years head master of the Pink Lily State school; and Miss Holt, daughter of Mr. W. Holt, and Mr. Landsberg, eldest son of the late Mr. W. Landsberg. The Rev. Canon Parker officiated. Both brides were attired similarly in white brocaded silk gowns, made, with trained skirt, and tastefully trimmed on the corsage and sleeves with small sprays of orange blossom and frills of embroidered chiffon; white embroidered tulle veils fastened to the hair with a coronet of orange blossoms completed the becoming costumes.

OBITUARY.
The REV. CANON ALFRED HENRYJULIUS. The Rev. Canon, Alfred Henry Julius, for twenty years Vicar of Akaroa Parish, died at his home in Smith Street, Akaroa, on Wednesday evening, Mr Julius and his family came to Akaroa from Rockhampton, Queensland, just about 30 years-ago. Since his retirement from the Ministry he has lived in Akaroa and has attained the ripe old age of 83 years. His death will be felt by his many friends and old parishioners throughout the district. The late Mr Julius was the second son of the Rev. Archibald Julius of Southery and was born in Mylands in Essex on 23rd May, 185l. He attended Felsted Public School, England, and at the age of 17 left for Queensland in the ship "Young Australia" in the year 1867. In 1871 he entered the Education Department of Australia and was sent to the boys school in Rockhamptcn. After ten years there he moved to Rockhampton Grarmmar School as the third master and was ten years there. In 1884 he took holy orders and was ordained deacon at St. Paul's, Rockhampton, and priest in 1886. Ha was curate in Rockhampton from 1884 to 1886 and became rector of Cleremont with Sprirngsure from 1886 to 1889. He was appointed incumbent of Gladstone in 1889 and remained there until 1894. He was vicar of St. Barnabas, North Rockbampton in the Diocese from 1894 to 1904 and was Honorary Canon of Rockhampton from 1899 to 1904 and was also in charge of the Cathedral Day School for 5 years. In September of this year he would have been 50 years ordained. He came to New Zealand on account of ill health and was Vicar of Akaroa from 1904 to 1924. Since then he has lived in retirement. The Rev. A. H. Julius had a wide and varied experience in the early pioneering church work of Queensland. The clergy at that time were numerically insufficient to minister adequately over so vast a territory and the work was most strenuous, as the means of transit were all by horse. Throughout his early experience of church work he was associated with Dr. Lester of Christchurch who at that time was also under holy orders. He was a very keen member of the masonic fraternity, joining the craft first in Queensland. When he came to Akaroa he joined Lodge Phoenix, of which he was secretary for many years. Ha held office in the Grand Lodge of New Zealand and was Grand Chaplain for two years. He also was a member of the Rose Croix, Becket Chapter. His wonderful capacity for memorising made him a prominent ritualist in the Masonic order and his fine delivery of the ancient charges made him an outstanding lecturer of the order. Mr Julius served a long and useful term as a member of the Akaroa District High School Committee and he acted as secretary for a number of years. He was always a willing helper in any public matters and gave much time in assisting to raise funds during the period of the War. In his younger days he was a very keen oarsman and won many trophies on the Fitzroy River and elsewhere. He was twice married and there are seven children as follows Miss Elsie Julius, Wellington, Mrs G. Armstrong, Christchurch, Mrs H. Newton, Waitsrimu, Mrs F. G. Armstrong Akaroa, Mrs C. Barrett, Takamatua, Miss M. Julius, Chritchurch, and Mr Eric Julius, Waiuh, Auckland. A service will! be held at 2.30 p.m. at St. Peter's Church, to-day, and the cortege will proceed to the Anglican Cemetery, where a Masonic service will be held.

PERMANENT FLOOD BOATS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE BULLETIN.
SIR,-Several residents of this district in conjunction with myself, desire to convey through the medium of your paper our sincere thanks to those gentlemen who so kindly volunteered their services to assist us in the somewhat perilous situation in which we were placed by the flood on Thursday last. Messrs. Hartley and others of the whaleboat crew worked most manfully, rendering great service. Mr. Alley, the resident engineer of the Waterworks was indefatigable in his exertions, and merits our special thanks. The punt used by the latter gentleman was unfortunately by far too small to accommodate the numbers he would willingly have taken off, and who were anxious to reach a safe spot on terra firma. On this point, with your kind permission, I would like to throw out a suggestion. The old proverb of prevention being better than cure is more frequently quoted than acted upon. The impossibility of preventing the reoccurrence of similar floods during the rainy season shows the necessity of providing more expeditious means to relieve the people from the critical situations in which they are too often placed upon these occasions. I would suggest that a few stout boats of the whaleboat build, capable of carrying several families and part of their portable effects, should be stationed permanently in districts most subject to inundation, say for example if one was provided for this district stationed on the lagoon, in charge of the resident engineer of waterworks. The loss of time, valuable time, in procuring a boat from town would be obviated and the unnecessary destruction in some instances of valuable property prevented. It is of vital importance to the interests of any government to protect the lives and property of the people, and surely there would be no great difficulty in obtaining the sum required for a purpose of this kind. The people of the district would willingly subscribe the small sum necessary for keeping the boats in proper repair, to enable them to act upon the first emergency. This would not prevent other boats from assisting, but would tend to give a sufficient sense of security to allow the people to make preparations for departure beforehand, with the certainty of being relieved if the occasion demanded it. Trusting, Mr. Editor, you will suggets some tangible means for carrying out an improvement on this suggestion.
I am, etc.,
GLENNY NAISH.
