    Reports on William Wightman's rejection of David B Reid's ventilation machine from the House of Commons 'for the time being', having been subjected to terrific blasts from the apparatus. Given the continuation of the 'Reid-ventilation', expects to see Members of Parliament dressed for the great 'scientific hurricanes'. Wants to allay a wind which has the characteristic of 'blowing nobody good'.
