young native girl about nine years old
was severely burned last Saturday evening.
She was in house near Palace walk, and
was trying to reach calabash of poi, which
was on shelf, when her dress caught fire
from a candle which was behind her. She
ran across the room screaming, and her
parents caught hold of her and extinguished
the fire, but not before her back was some
what severely burned. A similar case oc-
Cured at Waikiki a week ago last Saturday.
In this last case the girl was taken care of at
her own home.
Now that the Survey Bureau has moved
into their new quarters, the room. lately Oc-
cupied by them in the Government building
will be utilized by arranging in it the Gov
eminent law library. Mr.. Foster informs
us that the intention is to draw back the
sliding doors between the present Office and
the makai room, and then arrange passage
way down the centre of the present Office,
with desks on each side. This passage way
will be the one leading to the new library
room as the present lobby will be closed,
and in its space will be built a large vault
for the Court records and other valuable
papers. This vault will be built directly
over, and be of the same size as one on the
ground floor. 1t will be nineteen feet long
and feet IL inches wide. Mr.. Foster will
have his desk on the right of the passage
way, ana Messrs. Smith and Poor will also
have Accommodations on the other side. 1t
will take some little time to make these
changes, but when the work is done it will
give much needed room.
