Light Wanted.

Mr.. EDITOR: We are told one
day that the opera company pre-
pairing the "Sorcerer" is juvenile
one, and the next day that it Is not.
Now what is the public to believe?
Some light is certainly wanted.
The "Sorcerer" is decidedly very
unpopular opera; there is nothing
to it. In the Colonies, year or
two ago, it had run of one night.
1t may be termed one of Sullivan's
cast-offs. Some idea of the per-
formers should be given to the pub
lie, because if it is to be juveniles
they cannot do it. Certainly one
member has been thrown aside
and Juvenile substituted. Another
query: Which benevolent institu-
ton is going to benefit by the per-
Torrance? Or are the supposed i'm
aginary proceeds already appro-
priated. M. J.

Aerial Explosions and Rain.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t would be we'll
for people to go slow in accepting
the proofs of "artifcial rain"
1t will be noticed that there is no
direct statement of the amount of
rain by measurement. A few hun
dredtbs of an inch coming suddenly
would seem like quite shower IN
dry time, but it would have little
practical effect on the supply of
water. Moreover, it has not been
shown that rain conditions were
not present anyway.
There is no doubt possibility of
rain being brought down by an ex-
plosion in the following manner:
Rain is produced by the sudden
cooling of mass of moisture-laden
air, either by throwing a cold cur
rent into it, as occurs in Nuuanu
Valley when a north wind suddenly
comes down after a warm spell, or
by carrying the moist air to cold
place, as when the air of the ocean
is carried to the tops of our noun
tains and is robbed of it's moisture
by the cool peaks.
Now, if an explosion will throw
a mass of air from near sea level,
say 5000 feet perpendicularly up
ward, it will be cooled probably 10
deg. Fab, and possibly a shower
would fall. An explosion does
so throw the air upward. But as
much force would be required as
would raise the entire weight of
water to that height.
One pound of water to square
foot of surface, would be twenty
hundredths of an inch; perhaps as
little rain as would be of any
especial use. This would be
twenty-five million pounds on
square mile; multiply this by 5000,
and you will have the amount of
force necessary to produce a fifth
of an inch of rain on square mile,
even in the night time. of the pres
ent dry spell, when the dew point |
at night is ten degrees below the
air temperature. The dynamite |
might be exploded down in the
crater of Diamond Head for the |
benefit of Kapiolani Park, if the |
trade wind did not blow the "whole |
business" out to sea before it came |
down. @. T. LYONS.

This truly enchanting location for SUBJ
urban homes must be seen to be appre-
GATED; lovely grove of algeroba trees
covers the entire grounds, streets so feet

lO-lnch arteslan we'll which is pro-
nounced by McCandless Bros. to flow
the sweetest water of all the wells thew
nave bored on this island. The Railway
20. have constructed two reservoirs with
a storage capacity of over two million
gallons, and built fume extending 81
miles into Waiawa Valley, which in
years OF ordinary rainfall will supply an
abundance OF pure water for a large

droughts as we have experienced during

dered Blake Pump with a capacity of
100000 gallons per day, which will be

THE DAILY
OPINIONS ON THE FREEDOM OF THE
PRESS.

a question with regard to the
freedom of the Press is attracting a
good deal of attention in the United
States just at present.
On the occasion of the recent
executions by electricity, the prison
authorities refused access to press
reporters, and bound the acting
officials and the physicians who
were present to absolute silence as
to the circumstances attending the
execution. Nevertheless sundry
reports of conflicting nature got
abroad, some declaring that the
criminals died simultaneously and
painlessly, others making asser-
tions of very opposite nature.
Some of the New York papers
published these conflicting ac-
counts, and the State or municipal
authorities have commenced a
prosecution, under the electrical
execution law, which enables GER
tain public officers to forbid the
publication of details concerning
such executions.
In the opinion of many people,
this law, or this particular section
OF it, is unconstitutional and there
fore OF no effect; others say that if
it be constitutional and effective.
even then it ought to be repealed
as repugnant to public sentiment as
to the perfect freedom of the press.
Under these circumstances, the
New York Sun recently laid before
the principal statesmen of New
York State, the following questions:
Are you in favor of maintaining the
electrical execution law with all it's fea-
lures as it is?
Or are you in favor of the repeal of the
law, and especially of the repeal of that
part of it which forbids the newspapers
TO ascertain the facts of death when
legally inflicted, and to publish them for
the information of the people?
The Eon. Roswell p. Flower was
the first to reply. He thinks hang
ing is q good enough method of
disposing of condemned criminals.
To the second part of the question,
he replies: ~ believe the news
papers have a right to furnish
their readers with all sorts of pub |
lie news of interest" x at
should advocate the repeal of this
special section"
Lieut.. Governor Jones says: " If
this telectric) method of execution |
be proved to be painless, it would |
be well to adopt it. The shroud-
ing of legal execution in o web of
will prove abortive in
working any good purpose. The
newspapers are quite competent to
Judge what sort of reading the
public wants"

that we had what they wanted;
too many of them read it, for
we soon sold all the I2-guage
cartridges we had in stock.
We had more customers than
cartridges, and lots of them
had to go elsewhere Or do
without. Now we have stacks
of the guage you want. Ducks
are in season, fat as butter,
and plenty of them; but you
can't get 'em without ammuni-
ton. We can fill you up.
Revolvers arrived a little
late to be used on any partic-
ular burglar, but there may be
another one somewhere. We
received some of these little
protectors by the Irwin, which
quite surprise US in get up and
price. Double action ham,
merless, and the ordinary dou-
BILE action with hammer are so
ridiculously low in price that
there is no reason why any
one should be without one.
We have them in nickel and
blue barrels-from the vest
pocket size to those that would
fit a boot.
We have a new stock of
shot guns and rifles too, regu-
lar dandies, if you want to
use them on ducks, wild cattle
or hogs. The new style re-
peaters, said to be the very
best thing ever made for
shooting wild hogs. Another
new article in this line is the
repeating Parlor Rifle Is
shots without reloading. If
you're bothered much with
minah birds this is the very
thing you want. You can sit
in your window and knock EN-
over every pop, and parties in
the next room will not hear
the report.
A soft leather gun cover is
what every sportsman needs,
and if you are hunting over
wet ground, a rubber stock
cover will be a great protec-
ton to your gun stock. We
have both.
Do you ever complain about
having to make a fire to heat a
little water-for tea or any
other purpose? Why don't
you get an oil stove then, and
save lots of trouble and ex-
pense. 1t costs less to heat
water on an oil stove than it
does with wood or coal, and
they are about as convenient
a thing to have about the
house as anything you could
possibly have. Nearly every
one is supplied, but we always
have a demand for them. We.
have them in one, two, three
or tour wlcks big enough to
cook a meal with.
If you're thinking about inn
proving your grounds, why
not begin with a Hartman
steel wire fence? You can't get
stronger Or heater for the
money, in this or any other
country. Don't put up a
board fence and keep people
from getting a view of your
pretty garden that's selfish ::
give everyone a chance to look |
at it. You will see the Hart |
man fence in almost eyerv |
street in town.

Two COUNTIES SUED. D.-Hoffman
& Bates have instituted suit in the
circuit court of Polk county against
Marion and Polk counties for Sll ,6S5,
the balance they claim due on the
bridge over the Willamette river at
this point. Polk county Gains ii
only agreed to pay $4,000 and has
done that. The extra amount arises
from the changes in the original
plaus, whereby abont $4,000 addi-
tinnal cost was expended on the con-
struction of the bridge. The con-
tract for the construction of the
bridge was made with both counties
and the change in the plans was
signed by four members of the two
comfy courts. One commissioner
from Polk county was i'll and did
not sign the change, and Judge
Waldo, of Marion, refused to sign IT,.
Thus the matter stands. Marion
county has honored the signatures
Of its commissioners, which Polk
has refused to do. Men OF high
lcgrl Standing are Of opinion that
there is no way for Polk county to
avoid raging this amount. Hon-
man & Bates have employed strong
counsel, p. L. Willis, Dolph, Bellln'
ger. Mallory & Simon being their
attorneys.
