Thats fine with me. peek() does seem the most
appropriate.

So do we agree on the following?

 public interface Queue {

     public int size();

     public void add(Object);

     // blocking remove
     public Object remove();
     public Object remove(long timeout);
 
     // non-blocking
     public Object removeNoWait();
 
     // peek - doesn't remove
     public Object peek();
}
