BRITISH NORTH BORNEO POLICE.
It has been said in a classical passage that a policeman's life "is not a happy one.' It is hard to imagine the lot of the British North Borneo constable is not an exception to the rule,, The men who form the police force at Sandakan, the capital of British North Borneo, are, as our illustration shows, organised rather as a military than as a civil force, and their "beat "is under the greenwood tree. The men are Sikhs from India, and Malays; of the latter some have but recently been reclaimed from the side of disorder to that of law, and it is said that more than one Dyak "head hunter" is now a trusty and efficient member of the British North Borneo Police, willing and competent to track down his old associates and to put an end to their cruel practices.
