THoUGH Yesterday was Good Friday. it was scarcely
observable as a Holy day the streets of this city.
The Government offices, Bank, Custom House and
various places Of business, with only two or three
exceptions, were open az usual. Services were
held at ST. Andrews Pro-Cathedral. and at the
Roman Catholic Church. In many parts of the
Old World especially Good Friday is looked upon as
a very important day in religious circles, but it is
evidently not so here. q
PRoFEssoR AMAsA PRATT of Oahu College has
been recalled to his old work of educating the deaf
and dumb. After an absence from the United States
Of some years he has been invited to the Presidency

Columbus. Oahu College loses not only his valu-
able services but also those Of Mrs. Pratt and the
many friends of both, while conGratulatinS them

THAMES to weather worker Virgins. Honolulu
was pretty thoroughly wet down last Friday night,
the rain coming in from the sea. Agentleman who
has long been a resident here, and whose business
led him 10 be a very close observer of the
states that this is the first time that he re-
members Of our having so much s%Outherly wind al
this season of the year. COasting Captains report
very heavy swells as coming in " all along shore "
from the north and west, which with the calms
that prevail, would seem to indicate that we are
in the centre of q wide extended cyclone.
Or Sunday afternoon a large number Of visitors
went on board Of the Swiitsure, and were shown
over the vessel. About 4 p. m. the barge being
laden with some two hundred people was taken in
tow by the steam launch. when it was discovered
that a rope had become entangled in the propeller
of the launch, and wound around it some eight or
ten times. Efforts were made to clear it, but being
under water it was difficult to get at. Finally, a
native slipped over the stern of the barge and.
with = small knife, cut away all the turns IN the
rope and cleared the propeller. The thanks OF the
passengers are due to the man whoever he may be.
Il Is 10 be hoped tao courageous conduct Of this
Hawaiian will be recognized by those in power,
whose duty it is TO do 50.
YESTERDAY = number Of dead dogs on the street.
in various parts of thu city showed. that somebody
had undertaken to rid the community Of o portion
OF the canine nuisance By using poison. The
authorities have heretofore offered q reward for the
detection Of parties who have from time to time
adopted the method of dog killing, but there /.
such a multitude Of scurVy ours which nobody
seems to own, hanging about restaurants and
infestinS the streets generally, that something
ought 10 be done - relieve the community Of tina
pest. We have mover heard Of a case of hydro
phobia here, but with such a number OF half
starved. ilthy-lookin. ours in our midst, it is not
at all impossible but that some Of them may go
mad and bite somebody before any precaution can
be taken TO avoid such a dreadful result. OF course
iudiscriminate poisoning IS not the proper way to
get rid Of the ours. As there are probably some
really valuable and well kept dogs that might be
poisoned, while the most loathsome, worthless
ones might escape. This police should take the
matter in hand, and all dogs without tags, show
ing that the tax has not been paid for them, should
be destroyed.
