Advice from Washington states that
Professor Bell has invented an electric APP
paratus which is used in locating a ball
within the body of patient. If this can
be successfully carried out, what good
thing for the public service it would be if
the same ingenious professor would con-
trive machine to ascertain where the mon

until democratic administration takes
control at Washington on the 4th of
March, 1885. There are several other
transactions that would develop if the
books and accounts of the executive de-
partments were examined by an adverse
party to that which has held power for the
past few terms.

HAWAIIAN TEAM V. OFFICERS OF THE q. s. S.
LACKAwANNA.
This interesting contest took place. as adver-
tised, at Kalihi on Monday last, in the presence
of a select party of visitors, among whom we
had pleasure in noting several ladies, whose stay
throughout the contest afforded a peculiar and
an unexpected zest to the affair. It was evident
from the commencement that our visitors had
not had equal practice of late with our local
team, who, in addition to complete knowledge
of the "windage" and features of the range,
had been for some weeks in fair recent practice
with their weapons. The arms used by the
Naval officers were service "Remingtons, and
those by the Hawaiian team were the new
% Springfields and, if we may without offence
express our opinion, we dare assert that our
visitors were handicapped III their weapons.
The local team made highest cumulative scores
in every round throughout the match, although
a very perceptible Improvement took place in
the officers scores as the match advanced. The
total points scored by the local team at the end
of the contest exceeded that of our visitors by
49-a result which did not appear to surprise or
chagrin the losers in the least and here we
caanot refrain from c~omplimenting those gentle
men on their demeanour and their pleasant and
courteous recognition of the efforts made TO
amuse them, An excellent cold luncheon was
provided by our folks, and all parties appeared
greatly pleased with the afternoons sport. We
append the scores at 200 yards, twenty shots
each man.
