Mr.. EDITOR: Believing that any
matter of scientific research viii
interest your numerous readers, I
modestly offer the results OBJ
tanned by the recent expedition or
ganized by Oahu College to exam
Inc into the phenomenon known as
the sunrise" Let me observe in
passing that this interesting spec
taele is believed to have been
known from the most ancient
times, although IN my exhaustive
examination of the authorities, it
seems remarkable that practically
nothing is found to throw any
light upon the subject. The most
indeed that I found appears in an
account contained in the life and
writings Of that eminent scientist,
Marie AntoInette, once Queen of
France. 1t Is by this account
proved concIusively, by necessary
scientific deduction, that the sun
rise had been heard Of at that
time, (about 1854 One morning
in early summer the Queen and
number of friends left Paris about
one o'clock, 4. NJ. for the purpose of
investigating the interesting but
unknown phenomenon, unknown
at least to them, and drove at once
toward the east, where it was re-
ported the scene had been OBJ
served. Arriving at the height
aimed at, and finding nothing, the
party went to q chateau near at
hand and breakfasted, intending to
pursue the subject after the sun
arose. Resuming about 10 A. NJ.
and finding nothing, diligent in
quiry revealed the fact that peas
ants in that neighborhood had
often seen the sun rise, but collat-
ing the result of all their observa-
tons, it appeared certain that the
actual sunrise must be eight or
nine thousand miles further east.
Impressed with this discovery the
party returned to Paris, where
some of them were afterwards hon
Ored with decorations.
Pardon this apparent DEPRESSION );
it relevancy will be seen later. By
the use of such scientific data as
could be obtained at Punahou,
with the assistance of the learned
mathematical professors of the
college, we fixed the Sunrise spot"
ascertained by the Marie Antoi-
nette party as some thousands
of miles east of Paris, as IN
all probability not far west of the
meridian of Punahou. Let me also
give due credit at this point to
Professor Lyons tide gauge, which
furnished valuable results. Feel
ing that in addition to the results
obtained in the study from scien-
tifc methods, some practical OBJ
servations might have been made,
careful inquiry was instituted
among the boys, whose powers of
careful observation had often been
noted. Judge of our surprise and
delight in finding that several OF
them during the morning hours,
upon as many as seventeen well
ascertained different occasions, had
observed a point of exceeding
brightness over the top of Punch
bowl. Eureka This must be the
spot! An exploring expedition
was at once decided upon, and we
felt that pleasure as well az profit
would be therein mingled, the
punchbowl being such a favorite in
Honolulu.
Mr.. Barwick's well-known ability
pointed him out as the one to take

PECULIAR MUNICIPAL FINANcIERINa.

The communication of City Treasurer
johnson concerning the advertising for
bids on refunding our bonds recalls an
episode that throws some light on the
way our city fathers do things. About
two years ago the city advertised for bids
for the whole s320,Q0O worth of bonds
which Mr.. r. G. Lunt is seeking to ne
gotiate for the municipality at a dis
count Of Q per cent. As result Of this
advertisement DR.. w. J.. Graves ap-
peared before the board, accompanied
by President Marble, of the National
Bank of California, and offered to take
the whole amount on behalf OF some
Cleveland capitalists at premium OF
~ per cent. Here was a most
advantageous offer for the city.
Had the profer of DR.. Graves's
clients been accepted the people would
have saved the difference between 5 and
z per cent for two years, sum amount
ing to $12,S00. Not only that, but there
would now have been no necessity for
SO much as entertaining the idea of dis
counting bond which would readily
command premium in the open mar
ket. But DR.. Graves was not on the
right side politically, go that some
trifing flaw was discovered, the Cleve-
land capitalists retired in disgust, and
we are treated to the spectacle of ped
ding out valuable securities at ridicu-
lous discount under the name OF COM
mission.

JOHN L. AND DIR. SHRADY.

Prize-fghters are certainly not the
most interesting people in the world,
and there is surfeit about the genus in
the daily press. We cannot forego,
however, noting an incident in which
John L. Sullivan figured the other day.
We have been told that long continued
dissipation had made perfect wreck of
the great slogger. These repeated state
ments of the newspapers may have
made some impression on Sullivan him
self. At all events, the other day he
made his appearance in the Office of the
celebrated DR.. Shrady, of New York
city. He was accompanied by a
noted sporting authority and rep
resentative of the New York World,
the latter of whom gave two-column n
description of the proceedings. Sulli-
van was stripped and was then put
through most searching examination.
He was sounded from head to foot, the
inspection lasting about an hour and
quarter. As result, DIR. Shrady an
nounced that the tistic champion of the
world was as healthy as baby--that
there was not a flaw about him, adding
that he was the most perfectly devel-
oped man he had ever seen. There is
little consolation in this announcement
for those who have their money up on
Corbett, but it will arouse great inter

THE CRANDALL CASE.

Detective Biehl Still Waiting for Requi-
sition Papers.
The interest in the Crandall case was
still very great yesterday, it being 4
grand subject of conversation. There
were no particular developments during
the day, except that Deputy Constable
Harry Johnston recognized Crandall as
the man he. once saw at Ensenada
when he went after Gormley, the rape
fiend. He had seen Crandall's picture,
and after bringing Gormley back wanted
to 60 down the EDsenada and arrest
him, but the matter was dropped.
Crandall has not yet admitted that he
is the man wanted, but the proof is go
overwhelming that there is no doubt
about it. Detective Diehl had quite q
lengthy interview with Crandall in his
cell yesterday afternoon, but did not
say much about the subject of their con-
versation. The old man is not in very
good health, and is being treated for
kidney complaint at the present time.
The requisition papers were expected
yesterday but did not arrive. Mr.. Delhi
and his prisoner will start for Buffalo in
a few days.

THE WHITTIER SCHOOL.

Another Building Leased for Girl In
mates.
DR.. Walter Lindley was in the city
yesterday. He stated to HERALD re-
porter that everything at the reform
school was progressing satisfactorily.
"You can say" said the doctor, "that
we have Just rented another building for
the accommodation of girls, 30 that we
can hereafter take care of about hun
dred more than we now have. For some
time past we have been obliged to refuse
to receive any more girls, on account of
lack of accommodation, but that want
has been supplied by the new building
leased.

Our northern neighbors are beginning
to see the folly of their persiHags about
what they used to derisively call the
s'boom country" and to treat the mag
nificent prosperity of Southern Califor-
MIA as fact to be admitted. San Fran
cisco cannot afford longer to speak of
Los Angeles slightingly. In the throes
of an unprecedented business depres-
sion, she reluctantly acknowledges that
the imperial city of the south is not to
be sEeezed at. And well she may.
When she looks at home and finds that
she has seven thousand vacant houses,
and then crosses the bay and
finds that her bedroom suburb has
twenty-five hundred houses bereft of
tenants, she may we'll consider
that sarcasm about the prosperity of
Los Angeles is out Of place. 1t is, of
course, not pleasant for her merchants
to openly acknowledge that business il
so dead that modification is the next
stage, but such is the sad metaphor
forced from them by the situation, and
they are, therefore, not to be blamed if
they are not in the humor they were
when they used to belittle Los Angeles
and the whole south, and exhaust their
fat wit in poking fun at the boom
section. It is now possible for Los An
gelefio to 60 to San Francisco and meet
with that consideration which prosper
ous people usually receive from those
who are on the down grade. The tables
are turned.

The Nicaragua convention, which will
assemble at the city of st. Louis on the
I'd OF June, will exert an important in
fuence on the course of congress on that
question. Few people look for any
action at the present session of that
body; but, next winter, after the presi-
Dental election shall have been safely
disposed Of, the question will undoubt-
edly be taken up and handled on it's
merits. The Pacific coast delegates will
be especially enthusiastic in advocating
the active aid of the government to this
meritorious project, which will double
the population and indefinitely increase
the wealth of every state on the slope.
Pacific coast delegates are expected to
meet in the parlors of the Southern
hotel on the evening OF June 1st.

The Blaine sentiment seems to be
gathering day by day, and at a signal
from the immortal author of the Multi.
gan letters he will be the Republican
standard bearer. All our dead walls are
covered with placards in which Harri-
son appears eclipsed by the shadow of
his grandfather's chapeau. This is only
an advertising dodge, but it seems to
outline the Republican presidential
situation in q nutshell. Somehow or
other the little man can't swell to the
stature needed for q presidential candi-
date. His own state does not want him,
and 10 find man outsideof Hoosierdom

The small editorial which appeared in
yesterdays HERALD in regard to the
Hollenbeck and Workman donation for
a park on Boyle Heights has had the
effect of bringing to light the exact
status of matters as respects that inval-
liable breathing spot. From COM
munication which appears elsewhere it
will be seen that the city council appro'
priated $4,000 for the improvement ol
that park. BY the terms of the grant
$4,000 was to be spent on its embellish-
ment the first year and similar sum
the second year. 1t is to be hoped that
now this sum will be applied to the pur-
pose for which it was specifically appro-
priated.

est in those who are curious as to the
of the human frame.
There has been entirely too much
hasty generalization about the effect
Of liquor upon mankind. Good distilled
and fermented beverages often do
great deal of good, their effect depending
upon the temperament and environ
ment of the individual. Even the i'm
mense streams Of bad liquor with which
Sullivan has drenched his stomach have
not injured him in the least. Every
organ in his system, his lungs, heart,
liver, kidneys, and what not, is in the
perfection of health. It does not. there
fore, follow that every one could safely
follow Sullivan's too frequent examples
of intemperance, but his exceptional
well being of body disproves the exag.
gerated statements of the teeto-
tallers. Mr.. Gladstone drinks q
pint bottle Of champagne every
day, and yet at eighty-six he has
the most ringing voice heard in either
house of parliament. The late Emperor
Wilhelm sat his horse at reviews up to
the year Of his death at ninety-five or
six, and yet his daily regimen included
champagne and fine French cognac, and
30 we might 60 on multiplying instances
that prove that drinking in moderation
has no disabling effect on either mind
or body. but we have said enough to
show how unfounded and one-sided is
the claim that alcohol or malt are in all
cases inimical to the health of mankind.

THERE seems to be strong disposi-
tion on the part of the Presbyterian
assembly, now in session at Portland, to
send back the famous Briggs case to the
New York presbytery for rehearing. If
the eappeal should be tried and action
be also taken on revision OF the confes-
sion Of faith, the session would be in
terminable, and perhaps the easiest way
out of the tangle would be to send the
Briggs case back to New York, as pro-
posed. DR.. Briggs is tenacious dis.
putant, and issplendidly equipped as a
scholar to make determined fight, and
if the appeal is gone into he will insist
on an exhaustive Investigation, regard
less OF the time consumed.

means been abandoned, though but lit
tie has been heard of the matter of late.
1t was learned yesterday, on the best

owner of the Raymond hotel, had,
through his attorney Judge Enoch
knight, made most acceptable offer in
the matter. The full details of his
proposition could not be aEcertained
yesterday, but it is described as being
one that the citizens of Los Angeles can
not afford to decline. A great tourists
hotel under the management of the
Raymonds would be successful beyond
any question, and would be worth one
hundred dollars to Los Angeles for every
dollar it cost.

dinavian countries, where drunkenness
is said to be quite prevalent, and in Co
penhagen many persons are seeking re-
lief at the hands of adopts who claim to
be fresh from the scene of operations at

house on South Olive street, one of the

the attempts. These are no doubt some

A resolution was introduced by Com

council the rejection of J. w. Potts's
offer of site for a pest house. 1t was
shown that the acceptance of Potts's, or
any other proposition would entail a
cost to the city of $4,000 year, and
that furthermore the city was amply
provided with hospital for contagious
diseases at present, which is sufficiently
isolated and easy of access.
