the moro engaging With q painful and incon-
gruous touch. will give two examples suffi-
ciently wide apart. one from Tahiti. one from
Samoa:
And first from Tahiti. A man went to visit
the husband OF his sister, then some time dead.
In her life the sister had been dainty in the
island fashion and went always adorned with
coronet Of flowers. In the midst OF the night
the brother awoke and was aware OF a heavenly
fragrance going to and fro in the dark house.
The lamp must suppose to have burned out:
no Tahitian would have slept without one
lighted. Awhile he lay wondering and de-
lighted: then called upon the rest. DO none
OF you smell flowers p hs asked. 10" said
his brother-in- law. we are used to that here"
Tho next morning these two mon went walk
ing and the widower confessed that his dead
wife came about the house continually. and
that he had even seen her. She was shaped
and dressed and crowned with flowers as in
her lifetime: only she moved a few inches
above the Garth with very easy progress. and
fitted dry shod above the surface OF the river.
And now comes my point: 1t was always In q
back view that che appeared. and those

that this was TO conceal the inroads OF cor
ruption.
Now. for the Samoan story. l owe 1t to the

two wives and had no issue. He went to Sa-

remembered he was in a strange island. like a
poor man; and when his child was born. he
must be shamed for lack OF gifts 1t WAS in
vain his wife dssuaded him. He returned to
his father in Manua. seeking holp; and with
what he could get he set Off in the night to

them. and on the beach. by his canoe. inter-
cepted and slew him. Now. the third
wife lay asleep in Savaii. her babe was
born and slept by her side; and she
was awakened by the spirit Of her husband.

remembered with affection; mono tho less his
spirit went about the island clothed with ter
rors, and the neiRhborhood Of Government

sum up the cheerful doctrine thus: All men

The chid's soul in the Tahitlan tale was
wrapped in leaves. 1t is the spirits Of the
newly dead that are the dainty: when they are
slain the house is stained with blood. Rua's
dead fisherman was decomposed; so-and hor-
ribly-was his arboreal demon. The spirit
then, Is thing material; and It is by the
material ensRns OF corruption that he is dis
tinguished from the living man. This opinion

The State 7'0c Levy.

Gov. Wiley writes as fol-
lows: "There seems to be some
uncertainty about the state
tax levy, though the law seems
plain enough. The General
fund was intended to have IS
cents, the Road 2 cents, and
the University 5 cents. The
law raising the University tax
to = cents does not take eff
feet until May IA, so the in
crease for this year is lost.
But the 5 cents and the 2 cents
must be applied to their pro-
per uses, so the General fund
will get only IS cents. How
ever, the state seems prosper
GUS everywhere and l think
there will be money enough to
pay current expenses at the
lower rate"

The State University.

The University of Idaho will
be III operation within a year.
The plan outlined by the re-
gents will be submitted to the
board of directors in June, and
will doubtless be adopted.
The plan is to have one wing
of the building erected. this
summer. The available funds
amount to $50, 900, which will
complete and furnish the wing.
AS the state appropriation be-
comes due from year to year,
it will be applied to other
parts of the building. The es-
timated cost of the entire
structure is 5000, 900.
The proposed wing will be
6Ox6O feet, three stories high.
Each floor will contain four
rooms, making twelve in all,
or enough to accommodate 480
pupils. But the top floor is to
be used for the chapel and lab
oratory rooms, leaving only
the first and second floors for
school purposes. These will
provide a seating capacity for
800 pupils, enough to supply
the demand until the main
building can be completed.
The contract, if let this sum-
mer, will call for the compile
ton of the wing by October l.
The regents will then employ
an experienced educator for
president to put the school
upon it's feet, and by a year
from next September it's doors
will be thrown open to the
children of taxpayers who be-
lieve in higher education.
