OPINION OF THE COURT BY DOLE, j.

The respondent, the Police Justice
of the District of Eva, Island of
Oahu, is charged with having been
convicted Of the offense Of adultery
on the oath day of July last, with
residing out of the district IN Homo
lulu and with neglecting to make
returns of costs and fines collected
by him since March last. The com
plant prays that If these charges are
sustained or if it shall appear from
any cause that the respondent Is IN
fit longer to hold said office, ne be
dismissed therefrom.
The respondent in his answer al
mits the alleged conviction OF adnl-
tery, but contends that it does not
constitute a cause for removal from
Office, and alleges that he has ap-
pealed from such conviction to the
Supreme Court. He further admits
the charge of non-residence, and
saws that he has endeavored to
secure a place Of residence ~ the
district but has been unable to do SO
on account of high rents. and also
that there has been no failure OF JUS
tice in consequence OF such non
residence. He also admits the
failure to file his returns for the
quarter ending June Both, 1891, but
alleges that he has now filed them.
Upon the examination, decree OF
divorce on the ground of adultery OF
this respondent filed in the cause OF
Susan K. Mahelona vs.. Moses Maize
Iona and dated August 1st, 1891, was
offered in evidence, and it was ad~
mitted that this respondent has since
married the co respondent IN the
divorce case. It also appeared that
no returns had been made for the
| four months since March last.
It is very important that Police
and District Justices should live
conveniently near their Offices. The
delay of the respondent for over
four months to make his returns is a
serious default in a Police or Dis
trict Justice, the law requiring re-
turns to bemade monthly, and would
in itself be sufficient ground for re-
moval from Office immortality Of
the character suggested cannot be
overlooked in justice, and convic-
ton, even though appealed from,
supported by decree of divorce on
the ground of adultery, is sufficient
to show such immortality in proceed
ings of this nature.
We think that good cause is shown
for the dismissal of the respondent
Moses Mahelona from his said Office
of Police Justice for the District Of
Eva, Island of Oahu, and we so
order, with costs.

How the Wind Blew.

He had been up in the new states. In
consequence he was full of most marvel
Gus experiences which put Munchausen in
the shade and made Colonel Tom Ochil-
tree an inexperienced and veracious young
ster by comparison. Here is one of his
stories: 81 was travelling on the .. B. and
X. or some other road with three letters.
The wind had been blowing over the town
where l had been stopping at the rate of
from forty-five to fifty miles an hour for
six weeks. 1t blew and it blew and there
was no let up. The shingles had to be fas-
tened to the roofs with rivets and the male
population wore no whiskers. Doors and
windows were closed and battened to
windward and in many cases tie houses
were secured with immense OK chains.
Il took a train for the east one fine morn
ing with the breeze still blowing at that
terrific rate 1t happened that the direc-
ton of the wind was exactly the same as
the train. The track was as straight and
level as foot rule for 500 miles. Going
out on the rear platform l lighted a wax
taper and stuck it between the boards. 1t
burned as straight as if in a closed ROOM
There was not flicker. The wind and
the train were going at the same rate of
speed and there was a perfect calm"--

The XarDish Tree.

Some years ago Professor Rein planted
in the Frankfort botanical garden some Of
the trees from which it is stated the Jap
anese obtain their lacquer or var 1ish. The
tree is known to bOtanists as the Rhus
vernix, and it appears there are now thirty
four healthy trees, some thirty feet high.
Professor Rein has taken sap from few
of the trees and sent it to Japan for trial
by native artists. 1t is, however, almost
useless for Europeans to attempt to com
pete with the japanese in their line, but
the lacquer, if it can be made from trees
grown in Europe, may be used for other
purposes than vanishing wood.
The Rhus coriaria, or varnish tree,
grows in many parts of what may be
termed the Mediterranean distr ct, and its
juice is known for its deleterious or in
furious properties, and has consequently
been let alone. The japanese, however
seem to understand it, and it is certain
they make beautiful lacquer or varnish
from the juice of their trees; but they keep
the processes secret.-English Mechanic,

the glucoses, of which the fruit su gar that

Some time since Professor Fl. cher of

synthesis OF several sugars closely allied to
trult sugar. He has found way 70 trans

The process is one of changing N ore com

possibility of reversing the process was
long doubted. Yet just this is W hat Pro-
lessor Fischer has now accomplish ed.

say-but the time for calling such things
remarkable seems TO be past-is the account
OF the preparation of an albumin old COM

and fats may be prepared artifi cially we
have come to understand. But the albu-
mlnold compounds contain more chemical
elements, and are far more complex: thew
are indeed the highly organized material
of vegetable and animal life. That these
substances could be made in the la boratory
has been hard to believe Yet Professor
SchutZenberger, of Paris, has reported to
the French Academy of Science the syn-
thesis of compound similar to the pep

know a lot of men who are not credited
with being sociable. intelligent, entertain
ing, honest and so on, simply because they
themselves have incorrect notions about
letting their good qualities become known.
1t is men of this class who are out of work
quite frequently, because they are either
afraid to ask the favor of being permitted
to work for some one on sa airy or be-
cause they neglect to let their employers
know that they are doing some other fell

modesty of this kind is positive vice, and
one, too, that is exceedingly hard to up

The Parisians who preferred cold baths
hundred years ago, or at the commence
ment of this century, took them in the
Seine, without paying serious attention to
those VINO were passing along the quays
The Paris of today is more scrupllous, but
as swimming baths are numerous one OBJ
serves the proprieties without being great
ly incommoded The bathtubs of the end
of the last and the commencement of the
present century were made with view to
economizing hot water. They were, in re-
atty, tubs slightly elongated, with the
head slightly raised, in which one could
neither conveniently sit nor lie a. length.
That in which Marat was as sassinated
may still be seen at the Grevin museum,
and one of those of Bonaparte at Fontaine-
bleau. Neither is of a model that would
meet any sort of favor in America Before
the revolution wealthy French mobiles had
luxurious baths made in the form of sofas,
reclining chairs or couches Sometimes
baths were made sufficiently capacious to
accommodate several persons at time
