Fort Street School.
j. MoANAULI.

The examination Of this school took place on
the 18th inst. There are about fifty pupils, under
the care Of Mr.. Beckwith, ESQ long known in this
city as one Of the most efficient and able teachers
Of YOUTH assisted by Mrs. Webster, an experienced
teacher Of youth from the United States. The
scholars are mostly hslf-castes, intermixed with
foreign, native and Chinese. The reading Of the
primary classes had been well attended TO, the
spelling was prompt, and from the answers Il
was apparent that the lessons had been read with
attention and understanding. Albert Lucas and
Charles Bellows, well deserved prizes. An inter-
Jude Of song followed, Just such O song with mo-
tons Of hands and ~clapping Of hands as lie well fitted
to rivet the attention Of the young singers. The
faces of all those bright looking boys wore such a
look Of fun and happiness, that this performance
was to the spectators one Of real pleasure. The
examination in geography was thorough, and the
answers very prompt. In this department Albert
Lucas and Eddie Manuel appeared the most
proficient. In Arithmetic, to the study Of which
much attention seems to be devoted, Ahfat, a young
Chinese scholar appeared to find his hobby, to Judge
from the zeal with which be attended to the
blackboard. In English grammar, Gardner
Wilder was well versed, and certainly deserved
a prize. The children Of this school belong
mostly TO the Primary classes, and but few large
scholars were present, as most Of them have left
their alma mater for situations in contingencies
stores, etc. We beg in conclusion TO express the
hope that Mr.. Beckwith and Mrs. Webster may
long continue their eminently useful and success
full vocation as teachers of this important school. sss

The Tidal Wave Down South T;

Saws the New Zealand Herald Early on Friday
| 9th May) the shores Of New Zealand were unex-
peotedly washed by a series u gigantic ocean waves
Az some places the wave was but slightly felt. while
at others the kilograms Of cur correspondents show
that the people thought the iong-antcipated but
lOng-delayed end Of the world had AZ last come. IL
is not the hrst time that waves OF gigantic sire have
swept across portion Of the glope. During the great
earthquake ai Lisbon Ia the year 100 n huge wave
was set up in the German aud Atlantic ocean which
swept on awards 20 the West Indies, Tor a distance OF
1900 miles, and was the cause OF eonsiosfso'e ua.
mage at Barbados and other places. The great
earthquake in Deccmber 1904, which occurred IA
Japan, also set up a tremendous wave IA the Norm
Pacific, which swept across the whole OF that ocean
to San Francisco, q distance OF 1000 mnesi aud,
coming nearer our own time. we all remember the
great wave which came surging on the shores OF
New Zealand on the morning Of the 10th OF August
1868.
While the Auckland harbor was scarcely disturb
ed, at Pigeon Bay, in the Province Of Canterbury.
the tide rose II feet above the ordinary high-water
mark. The comparative freedom OF disturbance In
Auckland has likely been caused by The wave strik-
ing New Zealand from a point somewhat south east,
which would carry the great body Of the wave along
the eastern side Of Cape Colville Peninsula and Inn
pinge upon the coast In the neighbourhood OF Mat
akana and Mahurangi. This conjecture seems TO be
borne out By the action OF the tide az Mahurangi,
where il rose in four distinct waves, each four 10 six
feet in height, separated from each other by about
an average Of two hours.
In New south Wales the wave was felt, for our
telegams state that at Sydney the tide suddenly fell
two feet, and At once returned 20 its original leveli
and at Newcastle IL fell 20 inches In five minutes.
Ia 1868 the wave crossed the Pacific nt the rate OF
5.S7 miles per minute. The wave which was set up
by the great japan earthquake, In 1904 traNelledt 10
San Francisco At the rate Of 6.1 miles per minute,
while the one set up by the upheaval Of Lisbon, IA
1856, travelled TO Barbados at the rate Of 10 miles
per minute, and TO London at the rate OF two miles
In the same space Of time.
BY the arrival Of II. NJ. .. Sappho on May 20
from the Sonth Sea Islands, we learn that the ocean
wave was experienced very strongly at Navau and
Tonga. there were tea or twelve rises and falls az
Vavau on 18th May, the greatest rise being about 10
inches. The reef was left quite exposed at times,
and as the water recoded IL left ~nillions Of nab bo-
hind Il on the rocks. The effect was very extra
ordinary. The natives do not reoollcct anything
1t. they put down the Sappho as the cause Of IL.
A Tonga The wave lifted the stranded ketoh Pearl
OF the reef, aud left her In deep water.

To the Editor Of Pacific Commercial Advertiser :
1t has been a great pleasure to many during the
past few days to attend the public examinations
and rhetorical exercises of the institution at Puma
hou. So many Of the men and women now in
active life and walks Of usefulness IN these
Islands have laid their foundations of education
here, it is always a Joy to them TO witness the con-
tinued growth and prosperity Of their first Alma
Mater. The examinations this year were very
thorough and showed hard, patient work on the
part of both teachers aud scholars. Not intending
TO trespass on the province Of the examining
committee let one who was present mention a few
things that were especially enjoyable.
First, the quiet order and decorum OF The school
and the perfect management it is under, 50 that a
look or at most a judicious remark of the Presi-
dent could control any appearance of disorder.
The decorations Of fragrant fern wreaths and fes-
tOons, bright, fresh and beautiful day by day, and
the really elegant penciled drawings tina. adorned
the white walls. were never more graceful than this
year. The music was delightful, every piece
showing a delicacy OF musical taste, and the piano
duets each day were much applauded. The reel
tation In Virgil, by a class Of Eve young ladies
was highly enjoyable. Clear, distinct reading, in
t~eresting TRANSACTIONS. rapid scanning Of the Latin
verse and admirable knowledge of the rules Of YER
si6cation aud Of grammar impressed us and The
awarding OF an elegant prize to one, for the most
successful meirical translation Of a portion Of the
second book Of the immortal Rneid was q very
novel ending to this exercise, aud the school
heartily cheered {" Maud Blanc f" as she received
her elegant volume Of Cranch's translation Of the
Kneid.
But the feature that Impressed us most and most
clearly evtnced the grOth Of mind during the
year, was the Improvement in composition. Every
one was a theme connected with some branch of
study during the months past, and 1t was truly
delightful to hear things new aud old from Ma
turai philosophy. Chemistry, History. Physiology,
English Literature, etc, treated in such an inter-
esting way. Starch, Carbon, Ny House and

Diseased Beef

Mr.. EDITOR We noticed an item in your Satur-
days paper headed " Diseased Beef" Mr.. Editor
we wish to inform you that this item is false in
the extreme, that no such animal was owned
slaughtered or sold in the fish market. We can see
nothing in the article but a malicious attempt TO
Islander the reputation Of the market. The animal
in question was owned by parties up town and
was in no way connected with the Hsh market.

If THE Eastern war becomes general, and par
ticularly if France and Prussia again come to
blows while Austria attacks Russia, the "King OF
Italy is likely to have a hard eight for his con-
quered dominions, as there is a great probability
that an attempt will be made to restore the King
of Naples, the Pope, and the grand Duke Of Tus-
cany to their thrones, with the aid Of Austria and
Spain and the old Catholic party in Italy itself.
The Neapolitans and Sicilians hate the Piedmontese
and Sardinians. and are clamorous for the return
and long for Ferdinand. Probably all northern
Italy, including Tuscany, Romagna, Parma, Mo-
dena, Lombardy and Venice, may be constituted
into a Kingdom Of Upper Italy" and given TO
Ferdinand OF Tuscany, the Kinsman Of Franz
Joseph, if Austria gains the ascendant by the hu-
initiation OF Prussia at the hands Of enraRed
France. These are all moves (" on the - political

FAMINE PRICEs.-Recently the price of the
Hawaiian staff of life-poi-has been advanced
something like two hundred per cent, over former
rates in this city. Many native families have in
consequence been compelled to subsist on rice. The
cause of this scarcity of taro is probably to be
found in the fact that much land formerly devoted
to the growth of taro is now planted in rice.

extent 10 which drunkenness and Sabbath-break
ing is carried in the Irish Metropolis -" Fifty re-
liable persons last Sunday watched City public
houses in different parts Of Dublin with the fol-
lowing result Between the hours OF seven and
nine O'Clock the total number of drunken persons
seen coming out of these City public-houses was,
we are assured, 7sO."
New York city, which has n population Of L.
900, 900, supports 300 drinking saloons, or one
to every l75 inhabitants. Chicago, with 400, 900
people, has 1000 saloons, one TO every 200 in
babitants. Boston has 800, 900 people and l,2O0
tipping houses. one to every PSI OF her popula-
tion. Cincinnati has 1925, 900 people. including q
large beer-drinking population, and supports l,
100 saloons, one to each l55 inhabitants. Balti-
more has about the same population, much of the
same general character, and about the anne num-
Der of drinking houses. Philadelphia claims 800,
600 and has 2,7OO drinking shops, or one to every
