THE FILTER STARTED.
Put i'm Operation at B O'clock This
AT ernoOn-Descripiive.


The Cable memorial filter was put in
operation at o'clock this afternoon for
the first time with every promise of sue
cess.
AS described in our issue of Jan. .,
following the presentation by Mr.. Cable
OF the fiher to the city, it is a 3,000,-
coo gallon gravity filter plant, consisting
of three filters. IL feet in diameter by IA
feet in height. The plant is pro-
vided with al! the latest improvements
and the pump and engine to operate the
filters was furnished direct from the Law
renee Machine company of Law renee,
Mass. The entire plant was erected at
cost to Mr.. Cable of SIS. 900. on solid
stone foundations ia new building 10
the north of the present waterworks
building, which has dimensions OF 6S feet
long by % feet in width and 16 feet in
height.
The water is elevated into the tops of
the filters through f1ume which is above
the filter tanks. After entering these
tanks the water passes downward through
a clear, pure white bed of crushed quartz,
becoming thoroughly purified and then
passes into large storage reservoir, from
whence it is pumped direct to the mains
by the city pumps. These filters are
washed with purified water, which is &C.
complished by connection direct with
the city main. where reverse current is
fet up in the filters by the water passing
upward. A sand agitator is then set in
motion and the entire quartz bed is stir
red and washed perfectly clean from all
possible impurities. This cleansing OPP
Grafton is accomplished inside of 12 min
minutes, once in "a hours, when the river
is in its worst condition. Ordinarily the
filters will run from two to four days
without disturbing.
The water. after passing through the
fltering process, is absolutely clear.
bright and pure. and free entirely from
all suspended impurities. The consumer
receives the water, therefore, as pure and
unsdulterated as it is possible for science
and skill to make it.

his calling for volunteers to take the

Mitchell, one of the students of the
North Pacific Institute, declared his
readiness to go at any time with his

formerly missionary at the Gilbert
Islands. Another student, who had
only this year entered the Institute,
said that he had from the first con

There was long and spirited dis
cussion as to the decreasing financial
ability of the Hawaiian churches,
their total contributions for 1890
amounting only to S2,275.55, while
the expenditures of the Hawaiian
Board on account of foreign mission
and home mission work amounted
10 S5,3S509, aside from the larger
expenses for the Portuguese, Japan.

Of the sentiments expressed was, in

on the 18th inst. passed the following
resolutions:
Resolved, that it is the opinion
of the Board of Health that all i'm
migrants for this Kingdom should
be landed in Honolulu before being

machinery for quarantining and dis
infection is here, and any other
arrangement would entail great ex-
pense and at best prove unsatisfac-
tory and unsafe"
All immigrants arriving from Ash

OAHU ISLAND ASSOCIATION.

The pastors and delegates of the
various Hawaiian Evangelical
Churches began their semi-annual
meeting Wednesday, 10 A. NJ, at the
,Kalanihiku Church, at Eva. All the
ten churches were represented, ex-
cept Waimanalo. Rev. S. Kapu, of
Hauula, preached the opening ser
mon. Rev. Z. S. Timoteo, of Waia-
lua. was chosen Moderator, and Rev.
2. Paaluhi, of halihi, was chosen
Scribe. Rev. o. P. Emerson and
Rev. c. NJ. Hyde were in attendance,
but no other representatives of the
American Mission.
Reports from the various churches
were presented. kawaiahao and
Kaumakapili have tried the plan,
with encouraging success, Of ap-
pointing committees to visit from
house to house, looking up neg
hgent church members, and
urging Christian hopes and
duties on the many who are
Indifferent to spiritual truth and
life. The Church at Eva has
ordered q me-. bell, repaired the
parsonage, and has begun taking
collections for a reed organ. At
Waianae there have been many
deaths to weaken the Church, and
especially lamented is a. S. Hapai,
of the Hilo family of that name. At
Waialua the principal interest has
been the completion of the new
church and its dedication last Janu-
airy. Since then stone wall has
been built around the whole enclos-
ure, costing $3.50. The old church
building mas been demolished, the
stones used for the new wall, and
the lumber sold. At Hauula while
vice has been rampant, Christian
people have not been inactive. Com
nittees have visited from house to
house. Repairs have been begun on
the chapel at Kahana. Many Of the
young people nave uTlLbed away
TO Honolulu and are wanderers
from the way of life. From kaneohe
was reported the startling diminu-
ton of native Hawaiians, so that the
church is reduced to very few fami-
lies, who maintain Sunday worship,
but are unable TO support pastor.
The proposition was made to unite
the three churches of Waikane, Ia
neohe and Waimanalo, but action
was deferred TIL q report should be
received from the committee on
vacant churches. The Eva church
presented for approval their call to
J. N. Ezera, student of the North
Pacific Institute, to become their
pastor. On his acceptance of the
call, a committee was appointed to
make the necessary arrangements
for MS ordination and installation.

she uses to advantage. Her imitation
of The Magpie,' for which she no

derfuIly true to nature, and is a per-

Miss Tulloch at once gained the
goodwill of the audience, and had
to respond to a treble encore.

In the town records of the city of Boston
there is curious passage which records
how schoolmaster was examined anC
what happened. The manner in which the
visit of inspection is recorded makes one
incline to the view that the unlucky school
master may not have had fair play, although
If he was really inefficient he may be said
to have been judged by his peers
In the record for the 22d OF May, 1929, /;
Is set forth that;

1t is true that nothing is said of the
methods of spelling incnlcated at the

that clerk rather than the committee was
responsible for the errors of the record but
there is certainly something absurd in the

He PUMPED the Organ.

Eli Saunders was tall, thin. gawky mar
who had always lived in little village
| and had never accomplished anything
worth mentioning but he had little
money, more than most of his neighbors
and considered himself very valuable
member of society.
He was decidedly eccentric, and there
were people who contended that his "head
wasn't right" However this might be, he
went his way, regardless of criticism. He
was fond of music, and insisted on pump

more convinced that his part in the music
on Sundays was one of great Importance
and often spoke of the skill it required to
pump an organ as 1t should be done-nei-
their too fast nor too slow.
One day n fine organist from distant
city came to the little place and played on
the organ on Sunday. He held short
conversation after church with Eli, who
went home much elated.
"He said l pumped stiddy an sure as
anybody he'd ever had" announced Eli in
triumph to his meek, admiring wife.
