SAILORS AS ASTRONOMERS.
The Enlistment of Sea-Captains in che
Service of Science.

Ane enlistment OF Se~a-Captaln IN enc
Service of Science.
Everyone who has been much at sea
knows something of the peculiar SPLEEN
dor of the heavens when beheld from
the deck of a ship. Celestial phenomena
seem to possess an unusual impressive
ness when viewed under such circum-
stances. The clearness of the air in
fair weather and the hatness and dis
tance of the horizon tend to heighten
this effect. A similar impression is no.
ticed upon the broad, grassy plains of
Texas.
Sea captains sometimes bring into
port accounts of the seeing of comets
and meteors which have almost escaped
notice on land.
On this account particular interest
attaches to the official request, ema-
mating from Washington, which was
addressed to the masters of all vessels
which might happen to be within the
shadow track of the solar eclipse on
April 16, that they should make and
record careful observations upon the
phenomena visible during the eclipse.
They We're especially asked to notice
whether any changes occurred in the
clouds corresponding with changes of
temperature while the sun was hidden
behind the noon; the behavior of the
barometer while the eclipse lasted; the
temperature of the air; any peculiar
appearance of light, and the position of
any faint comet which might be de-
tected near the sun while its light was
shut out.
1t was a happy thought to enlist the
sea captains in the service of science.
While for obvious reasons the solid
land is best for the accurate observa-
tions, there seems good cause to hope
that hereafter large additions to as
Economical knowledge may be made by
the masters Of vessels happening to be
in the path Of eclipses.-Youth's Com
panion.

coNsoLED THE WRONG MAN.
How a Preacher Internationally Talked
Horse.

Horse.
A rather rakish-looking fellow occu-
pied the second seat. with a horse
shoe scarf-pin and a long mustache,
which he chewed spitefully as he
looked over a veterinary surgeons
bill and frowned. Just ahead of him a
good old Presbyterian preacher sat
with a mourning man, who had just
buried his wife. And, as the B. & o. s.
w. express moved down it's west-bound
time-card, the minister spoke soothing
words of comfort to the bereaved hus-
band and sought to console him in his
grief by hopes of future life and les
sons to be learned by bitter trials here
below.
"She was a good woman-a very
good woman, Henry, but the Lord had
need of her, and we must bear it brave
ly."
The husband choked, but said moth
ing.
The minister arose passed down the
car and took a cool drink Of ice water;
then, with Bonded head and heartful
mind still deep in sympathy, returned
anu SdHk inLO une seat.
There may be yet some now I'M
known lesson in this loss said he, soft
ly, to his companion, not staring at him
in his grief.
YES" was the reply, tinged with i'll
temper; I'll know a dern sight better
than to hire such a ~highwayman for a
doctor again"
Somewhat surprised, the minister ex-
claimed: But then, my friend. what is
all that compared to her worth to you?"
But you see l had her heavily in
sured, and wasn't a red cent in the
hole; but this chump flung the singer
into my pocketbook for all he's worth,
because he knew | had the stuff. And
she amt been worth SO much to me
after all-she's lost me more than she
was worth from first to last. I'll never
take up any of her blood again-there's
a bad streak in it,
Shocked beyond expression at the
heartless words, but knowing that deep
grief often unseats reason, the minister
sought to soothe the unsettled mind:
Il never knew her family, but she
was good in her ways. and always did
her best"
"Oh, yes, she's good enough in her
line, but, confound her skin, she v
did her level best. Why, blame it,
man, she'd lay right down and give it
up when she had everything her own
way, hands down. By Joe. you ought
to a seen her slap the mud in Nancy
Ms face at Sabina last fallr."
"What?' gasped the paralyzed min
lister.
"Why, she knocked her eve out in O
jog trot till she reached the finish, and
let down there-give up, dogone her!
But I've entered her on the kite track
at Chillicothe for the summer meet,
and if she don't pull down third money
in the four-vear-old 3:25, Ill knock a
knot-hole in her neck with a fork
handel"
With an articulate gargle of horror
the minister turned and looked at his
companion.
He had dropped by mistake into the
seat with the Kentucky horseman. who
had just received the doctors bill for
attendance upon his trotting mare dur
ing a siege of Observation-Disclosures

ISLANDS OF THE SEA.
How Uncle Sam Might Lose
the Sandwich Group AT
ter Annexine 1t.

Does a bond already exist between the
Hawaiian Islands and the United States
asks the Washington Star. 1t has been
asserted without disproof that the two
are linked together by chain OF fire, the
earthquakes OF California having a re-
lation to the volcanic outbursts from the
craters OF Kilauea. The Sandwich
group, ST course, is nothing more than
an assemblage OF gigantic volcanoes
which rise precipitously from the depths
of the sea, above the surface OF which
their verdure-clad tops appear. There is
no certainty that the archipelago may
not disappear beneath the ocean some
day, perhaps robbing Uncle Sam of val
liable political and commercial posses
sion Volcanic islands all over the world,
especially in the Pacific, have a way of
doing just that sort of thing.
Islands which pop up and down give
great deal OF anxiety to navigators.
Whereas water is necessarily unstable
and unreliable, mariners ought to have
right to expect dry land to stay in place.
But in many regions bits of terra frma
have way of appearing and disappear
ing without giving any warning whatever.
Thus skipper may be puzzled at failing
to discover long-familiar land mark to
help out his reckoning, or, worse yet, he
may run upon brandnew piece of terri
tory that he has sprung up out of the
waves since he last came that way. Such
uplifts make much trouble for the hydro
graphic office at Washington, which is
kept busy plotting them on its charts for
seamen's use as fast as they are reported.
AS q rule ships keep carefully away from
parts of the ocean where changes of the
sort are most apt to take place, as in the
neighborhood of the Farallone Islands,
south OF Japan. Unfortunately such
reports by sailors are not always reliable,
inasmuch as they frequently mistake the
the backs of sleeping whales or schools
of fish running along near the surface
for islands and shoals.

most grievous hardships connected
with the administration of civil
government. It is of course, under
existing conditions, a hardship
which cannot be obviated, but none
the less should the principle be
necessarily borne in mind that
personal freedom, the freedom
to move about and go where one
pleases should be one of the most
inviolable possessions of man, not
to be infringed upon except under
the pressure of necessity.
Let the record of arrests be open
to inspection. This is the best Sc
curity against every arbitrary and
unlawful detention of the person.

TUESDAY.

We PUBLISH this morning an ar
ticle from an Oakland paper which
contains some interesting observa-
tions on the personnel of the Wash
ington Commission. The writer
is, however, very ill-informed as
to social conditions in Hawaii,
when he imagines that the Com
missioners of democratic man
ners abroad are masterful"
at home. The relations between
whites and Hawaiians have always
been and will under any form
of government continue to be,
those of social equality and friend
illness. Mutual kindness has been
the common note of all these rela-
tions in the past, and nothing trou-
bles it, or has troubled it, except
the activity of demagogues of both
races, who never weary of stirring
up among the Hawaiians feeling
of bitterness towards foreigners.

A LETTER signed Hawaii shows
that the pushing men of that
island are thoroughly alive to the
advantages of annexation. There
is no question but that our cores
pondent's views on this head are
well founded. Nothing is more
laughable than the attempts made
here and there to stir up this or
that little interest against annexa-
ton, with pretended demonstra-
tions of future loss. Sensible
people are not moved by such
arguments, though they have
probably been a concomitant of
every industrial and social advance
from the foundation of the world
until the present time. Each fresh
application of labor-saving machin-
cry to manufacture has found its
enemies, who have seen in the new
departure the certainty of ruin and
loss. The event laughs at their
predictions and draws a veil of
kindly oblivion over the prophets.
1t will be remembered that the Re
Treaty had to fight its
way through the ranks of the men
who knew it was going to ruin the

Mr.. Keaweamahi spoke for over

eminent House. He described it
as being most gorgeously deco
rated building-the handiwork of
the Japanese. The architects and
builders were Japanese. The for
eign Office alone is as large as the
whole of our Government building.
The Legislators, mobiles and repre-
sentatives were all japanese. Mr..
Keaweamahi was amazed with the
industry, energy and push of the
people, and he asked his people
why they could not initiate the
Japanese, who are just emerging
from heathenism into the light Of
Christianity. Of the forty million
people of Japan, several millions
are still worshipping idols. Yet
the country is advancing.

POLICE SECRESY.
country

The proceedings of the Honolulu
police often seem to an outsider to
derive their precedeats from the
dark ages, when juries, the
rights Of man and newspapers
were entirely unknown. When
ever anyone is arrested on o charge
of any seriousness he becomes, as
inaccessible to anyone in the out
side world, except the police them
selves, as though he were at the
bottom OF a medieval dungeon.
Even his counsePs efforts to see
him are frequently baff1ed. A des-
potic turnkey acting under inspir-
alton from above, viii drive law
yers, doctors, and reporters all
away.
This is not, we believe, in accord
ahce with the practice IN the UNI
ted States, and it does not seem to
be in accord with the dictates of
justice or reason anywhere. It may
be perfectly proper that the first
interview of an arrested man should
be with some one IN the Marshal's
department, but except in rare in
stances every person restrained of
his liberty should have the oppor-
tunity not only Of seeing counsel,
but of giving his side of the story
to the press. The narrative of fact
published in the first instance
must otherwise be obtained exclu-
sively from others besides the &C.
cused, perhaps from persons alto
gether hostile to him.
