A I'lea for (he KstabliBbmeut o^Salt Water Swimming Baths In YIetorla.

A correspondent writes :—Sevei'al visitom to uud residents in Victoria have suggested tho desirability of having salt swininiing baths within easy reach of the ninjority ot the towns-people. Wiiy do not some enterprising Victorians with money at their command Ktart .some institution of this hind V It would prove a lucrative as ^^■ell as a benevolent nndertakin[.;. .Some "f iis are too ninidi absorbed in jdaiis and specnla-lions for the future to consider ^nlliei-eiitly (nir present well-lieino. As sen bathing is universally acUnowlodned to be one of the best iiie.uis we have for streiiothening the system, the opporHmity for iiidiiloing in this jileasant and lieallhfnl recreation should be placed, if possible, ' within the reach of all. The sea is far od'j for some of ns, and we arc I'.ilhcr .itiaid of; octopi, sharks and possibly sea serpents, though we do not like to talk iiiiu.h about' it. These nnwelcon.e visitors would not i dan: to intniile theiiiselves into a select and | well Olganized batliin;.; establislinieut, and we c;oidil disport ourselves in calm waters with all comfort and security. .Such an institution, if ])roperly managed, would snim be regarded as one of the most honehcial and attractive of the tovyn improveuicnts.
