THE DAILY


The report, which we publish in
another column, of a narrow escape
from collision between the steamers
Kinau and w. G. Hall, leads us to
consider whether the qualifications
OF captains navigating our coasting
passenger steamers are subject to
the examination that the public
safety requires. We do not say they
are not; but where life and property
is so largely at stake, the matter is
serious and no harm can be done by
giving the public sufficient conf
dence IN this respect. In most civil
lied countries, including all the
British colonies, there are s'marine
boards" which attend to these mat
tiers; and the loss of life on coastine
vessels is minlmised by means of the
action Of these boards. It is true
that the coasts of these islands are
not subject to many of the dangers
of other coasts; but coastwise traffic
is increasing fast, and greater pre-
cautions than have hitherto beer
taken IN the regulation of passenger
coastlng steamers will soon become
necessary, if the time has not already
come.

OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH, !
HnNnIrIr Oct Ia 1889


HONOLULU, Oct. IA, 1889.
The Board of Health, desiring to avoid |
unnecessary alarm, owing to the existence
of measles in the community and the inn
possibility of quarantining cases of the
disease in their various scattered localities,
publishes the following directions and sug-
gestions for the guidance of families i'll
which the disease may appear.
From the reports of the physicians it
appears that there have been over one
hundred cases in Honolulu; but the cases
treated are very light, and by carefully OBJ
serving the directions herewith given, no
danger is to be anticipated.
DIRECTIONS.
l. All persons affected with measles
should be confined to the house, and while
feverish, especially if children, had better
remain in bed.
2. As to food, this should be simple and
nutritious, such as poi, bread, milk, vel
cooked rice, and PLAIN soups. Water o.
ordinary temperature may be partaken O
freely, which is the best drink.
3. Avoid chilling the body by exposur,
to draughts and currents of air. but do no
stifie the patient in an unventiated room
nor overhead him with too much clothing
H. To preserve cleanliness and comfort
warm sponge bath may be used once
day which should be taken in the hous
and should always be followed by tn
careful use of the towel and recovering tn
body with dry clothing.
5. AS a rule no medicine is needed an
none had better be taken, unless prt
scribed by physician.
6. In order to limit the spread of tn
disease which is infectious and contagiou
children who have not had the diseas
should be excluded from the room occupie
by the sick person and, if possible, frol
the same house, if a small one, nor shoul
they be handled by those who have ju
come from the presence of the sick.
The soiled clothing and bed-clothes
the sick one should be plunged into Cbo
ing) hot water before washing.
Z. No child should be allowed to retu1
to school until several days after the SIX
has regained its normal appearance, Il
cough has ceased and his strength al
appetite are thoroughly restored.
8. If cough or BIO vel complaint persi
do not fail to seek the advice of ply:
clan at once.

growth can hest be Judged by the
past. In ten years Dawson has
almost doubled its population,
doubled its banking capital, doub-

each OF the ten years the growth
has been greater than during the
preceding year.
by the close of another decade
Dawson will again have doubled

the Sunday schools OF the city unit,
ing il a grand May-Day celebra-

should be carried into execution.
For the last few years each school
has been going of by itself and
trying to have a celebration. Sew
eral years ago it was the annual
custom for all the schools to unite
form a procession and march to the
park where pleasant exercises of
sioging and speaking were held
until l o'clock, when dinner was
announced ard all would revel in
a splendid repast. and after dinner
the children would engage in a vas
rieiy of games.

programme be mapped out. And
