MR. EDITOR: In your paper of
December 10th there is an article
written by one who terms himself
Justice" Now, 1 should like to
ask if Justice" was at the social led
meeting, or at home nursing the
children? 1 think the latter, as
there is a certain clhss of people who
dare not go anywhere. The night
of the so-called meeting was any
thing but clustering and windy
night. If Messrs. Purvis and Mars
den were like a great many more, to
say one thing and do another, they
could command every vote in the
district, even to the missionaries,
who can do a little jockeying on the
outside. Now, Messrs. Purvis and
Marsden are independent and far
above anything like that, and if they
are elected, 1 am sure they will do
justice to the country and every
citizen in it. Yours,
OBSERVER.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1889-12-31
In Explanation.

MR. EDIToR;-I desire to correct
a statement which appeared IN a
letter signed "Justice" in the Ga
zErrE of the 10th inst. Your CORE
spondent states that I "the nominee
from the north end would favor
= allowing the King
more veto power" What I did say
was that 1 declined to bind myself
to vote against the Kings veto, be-
cause, in the event of a majority
being obtained in the Legislature
by corrupt means, there would still
be the Kings veto to prevent it be-
coming law. / am not in favor of
allowing the King more veto power.
In the other views ascribed to me
in his letter your correspondent is
correct. w. HERBERT PURvIs.

Nh. EDITOR: I notice in your valu-
able paper of December 18th an ar
ticle on the S. S. China, where it says
that Captain Seabury will show
what is in the steamer" Is it the
bridge or the saloon that he is going
to show? 1t surely can't be the
speed of the ship, as 1 understand
that that department is under the
charge of the chief engineer. It is a
we'll known fact that if steamer
makes fast passage it is the captain
or master who gets the credit of it.;
but on the other hand, if the steamer
is behind time, the engineer gets the
credit of that. Now at the present
day an engineers duties are not the
same as they were twenty years ago;
the duties are far more at the pre-
sept day. First, he has the main
engines that propel the ship, all
necessary pumps and connections
with it. Secondly, he has all the
auxiliary pumps for pumping from
different parts of the holds, also
the pumps used in case of fire.
Third, he has the refrigerating ma
chinery, which is a very responsible
lob when YOU consider he has all the
provisions under his charge in the
refrigerating chambers, should any
thing give out with his refrlgerating
machinery, all the provisions are
spoilt. Fourth, there is the electric
light engine which is also under his
charge, he is held responsible for
that. Fifth, the cargo appliances,
either steam winches or hydraulic.
This is no small job of itself, more
so, when you get ignorant people
working at them, and / have seen
many a good winch spoilt with
certain class of men, such as putting
large hawser round the drum of
the winch and holding them when
the main engines were working,
something had to go, either the
hawser or the winch, very often the
latter, this is going in and out of
port. Sixth, then comes the steam
steering engines; these are all under
the chief engineers charge, also the
steam appliances connected with the
kitchen and pantry, also the con-
densing apparatus, the water for
sanitary purposes. Perhaps some
Of your readers might enlighten me
if steamships master or captains
duties have increased this last
twenty years or not? I think not;
rather the contrary His sextant is
the same, or a little improved; his
charts are of a later date and the
soundlu gs are more accurate. /
think 1fyself that the engineers
ought IL get a little more credit
than they do. There is no person who
really knows the laborious work there
is in large ships engine room, and
/ am sure if the outside world knew
more about it they would never pass
an engineer without lifting their hats
to him. j. S. III.

Left Legged Humanity.


Professor Ball, in s'Le Duadisme Cerebral
speaks of man as right handed animal
BEING right handed, it is popularity assumed
that he is also right legged, but this does not
appear to be the case. Standing working
with the right hand there is q tendency to
use the left leg for balance. Many people
find less exertion in going round circles to
the right than to the left.
So the majority of the movements are
more readily performed to the right, as dane
ing, running, etc. The rule in walking is to
keep to the right, and this appears to be al
most universal 1t is more natural to bear
to tho right. OF large number OF people
from the better educated classes asked about
the existence Of rule, only 81 per cent.
males and 50 per cent. females were aware of
the rule; the larger majority obey it uncon-
sciously in walking. Crowds tend to bear to
the right. The left leg being the stronger is
more readily brought into action; hence
troops start of with the left foot; it is the
foot which is placed in the stirrup of the
saddle or step OF the bicycle in mounting; so
that the left foot is the foot from which a
man takes off from in jumping
In the experiments of Mr.. G. q Darwin
hlindfolding boys and telling them TO walk
straight, the right handed one diverged to
the right, and vice versa. From measure
ments of DR.. Carson of the skeletons OF the
two legs, in 542 per cent, the left was the
longer and s5.s the right For measurements
Of the feet the writer collected the drawings
and measurements of 200 pairs with the re-
suit that in a per cent. the left was longer,
in 2l.5 per cent the right and in 34.5 per
cent. they were the same size. Measurements
at the first joint gave SO per cent larger, and
at the instep 42.5 per cent. From the table
of the figures it is observed that the left foot
is the more frequently the larger in the male
than in the female sex, and the percentage Of
feet of the same size is greater in the female
The percentage of the right larger than the
left is very constant, whereas the number of
the left larger than those in which both feet
were the same size are much more variable.
Man, being naturally or artiffcially right
handed and left legged, tends unconsciously
to bear to the right lower animals, on the
other hand, appear nearly always to circle to
the left.-Pah Mall Gazette.

SIXTH GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.

The manager of the series of ente. valn-
ments given by the Emporia avenue NJ.
L. church expected that the interest in
these entertainments, which has been SO
aigh for some time, would decrease with
nun; Der six of the series, given last night.
But such was not the case. The house
was packed and the interest was as great
as ever. The program was even better
than the former ones, though little too
long for one evening.
The principal attractions of the occasion
were the Edmund Burke orchestra of Gar
field university, Miss Ida Menass>t the
elocutionist, and the German Mannechor,
of this city.
Miss Menassa caused considerable disap-
pointment by her non-appearance on one
or two former occasions, but her arrival
last night was hailed with delight by the
vast audience. Her recitation, Searching
for the Slain,'' was an extremely pathetic
one and caused profound sensation.
The choruses bv the Mannechor. led by
Prof. Geo. c. Young. superintendent of
music in the city schools, were highly en-
ioyed This is indeed fine band of male
voices.
But in fac music nothing excelle the
Edmund Burke orchestra, which consists
the following persons: Prof .. L. Bran
dom, leader; Miss Rodmad, first violin;
Miss Boo Hard, pianist; j. S. Simpson. sec
ond violin; NJ. c. Brandon, bass; G. G.
Wilson. clarionet; G. V. Lucy. cornet;
Clark Hendryx, trombone. Their Oyer
ture to the Siege of Paris" as well as all
their pieces, was simply grand.
Prof. Camp was not on the program this
time, but then he had no business to show
himself in the audience if he did not want
TO be called upon for two or three pieces
again.
Among the others on the program who
received special applause were Gertie Cal
houn, Minnie and Abbie Crieger, Ellis
worth Diehl and Miss Dora Payne. The
entire program was well rendered, but was
loo long to notice throughout.

large quantities of wine grapes in Fresno are
now in process of drying The principal va
rleties being dried are the zinfandel. mission,

grapes will be shipped east, where they are in
good demand as a substitute for raisins The
remainder viii be held and converted into
wine later on. One vineyard in Fresno is
drying 1000 tons Another has made con,
tract TO furnish 100 tons Of dried wine grapes
at two and a half cents pound
The present estimate of the Wine cropot the
state Will not amount TO l2.Oo0.olO gallons.
which is five 70 seven million gallons less than
IL the past two OF three years. This Is not
ON account OF the crop being any smaller
than usual, but on account OF enough wine
grapes being dried TO represent :. oo0, coo gal
