Report OF tho Experts Not Yet Com
pleted.
The expected report of tho accountants
on the books of the water department was
not made to the board of public works
yesterday, and it may be several days yet
before it is ready.
A number of petitions for water mains
were rejected after investigation by Super
intendent Calligan. on the ground that the
cost would be too great for the income in
the present thinly settled condition OF the
districts. Several complaints as to nui.
sances were received and the department
officers directed to abate them.
There vas considerable discussion over
the condition Of the bulkheads on Ninth,
between Pike and Pine, and on Mary
street, ct the gulch. 1t was resolved to
give immediate attention to the Ninth
street case and let the other, which seems
less urgent, wait till the weather settles.
Supt. Ryan called attention to the danger.
Gus condition of Norman street, west OF
Commercial, but this, it seems, was built
by owners aud has never been accepted
by the city.

THE THEOSOPHssrs' ANNIVERSARY
The Seattle Society Gsrries Out the
viii OF Its High Priestess.


When Madame Helene r. ;Blavatsky, the
high priestess Of theosopky, died two years
ago she left dying request that upon each
recurring anniversary of her death in tho
Theosophical societies throughout the
world should be :ead selections from the
Bhagavad-Gita and Sir Edwin Arnolds
poem. 1.-THE Lighs of Asia." In compile
ance with this request tie Seattle Theo-
sophical Society met last evening at Pettis'
chsmbres de MOSQUE and President
Frank l. Biodgett read the selections from
the works. After that ! program me of
some length was carried t'ut.
1t was the first attempt; the Seattle soci-
ETY. had ever made at an ;eItended list of
exercises. and was very successful. Miss
Marguerite Snxtcn, a mdnber of the So
ciety and a well-known c4ocutionist, gave
three readings. They wsrc "The Birth OF
Buddha," 1.-The Care ;f the Wounded
swan" and extracts from, Buddha's work,
1.-THE Good Law" Tbnmas A Barnes
made extended relnarks :on the effect Of
theosophy upon III odernsthought.
The rooms wera pretsiIy decorated in
honor Of the occasion. Ehief among the
decorations was q large floral memorial
piece made by twa members Of the soci-
ETY.. 1t consisted Of the symbol Of the CO.
relation of spirit and snatter, o double
eguilaterai triangle ma6l Of white pansies
and blue hyacintts upors field of black
pansies surrounded oy esergreens and in
terwoven with lilies.
1t was the idea 9f the .aeeting that the
exercises should IN no way be in the nature
of hero-worship, bat shhuld merely cele-
citrate the so-caled "trsaths" Nine. Bla-
vatsky brought to the Western world.

"The big dredger is at work,

We expect to have that part of the work

This cofferdam is built Of two rows of

thought they would unload part Of
it here and part in Tacoma and
let us have the rest. The next

We will use some Il, 600 barrels Of cement

excavation is being deposited Ground the

worth that he would mandamus him to

from that hitherto observed.
The legislature last winter abolished the

Las, Saturday Mr.. Donworth asked Mr..

As tho county assessor Is not made an
