The True Art as Expounded by Prof. Il.
Is. Warman.
Prof Edward Is. Warman lectured at
the Y. M. c. A. Hall last night on True
and False Elocution." lie treats the sub
jecJ on purely common-sense basis.
II DO net DESIRE" said Prof. Warman,
Ito attempt to cover the whole Held. to-
night. The ordinary elocutionist today
requires wide field. lie who seeks To
break down old and false ideas OF elocu-
tlou is considered an iconoclast. Errors
OF elocutionists are innumeraDle. one
error is teaching by imitation. You thus
rob the pupil OF all his innate powers.
True elocutiou consists In imparting
your impressions To others. Grace ana
elegance OF delivery are powerless with
out the element of thought. The gesture
and attitude should not ape the thought
when IL involves the ridiculous. The
hands and arms should he free.
Highest results In cultivation or the
voice cannot be attained unless the body
is under perfect control The expression
naturally follows the thoughC. \ L
when the mind is distracted, as in sing
ing. the expression does not follow the
thought"
Prof. Warman aptly illustrates his lee
lures by presenting vivid portrayals OF
the defective practice taught by faulty
elocutionists

The duty of the United States in
the Hawaiian problem is reeog-
nized by the people of the United
States with remarkable unanimity.
In every quarter and by every
party it is seen that the United
States must grant the request of
the Hawaiians and annex the isl-
lands.-S. F. Examiner.

of Kula, at an elevation of 1000
feet, while Honolulu proper ranges
between 1862 inches at Punahou
and 24.28 at Kapiolani Park. AS
the mountains are approached the
rainfall increases until high water
mark is touched at Luakaha.
The value of these careful records
of meteorological phenomena is
very great, and thanks are due to
the many observers whose volun-
tary efforts make these extended
statistics possible. The metero-
logical department is in competent
hands. and it is to be hoped that
its inquiries may be pushed still
further. All that is wanting is q
large appropriation.

May Protect or Annex.

Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, who
questioned the British Government
on Hawaiian affairs, is an Ameri-
can who has naturalized himself as
a British subject. His brother is
the husband of the very wealthy
Baroness Burdett-Coutts. Sir Ed
ward Grey, who replied, as Under
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, is of
the family of Lord Grey, who car
ried the Reform bill of 1882, and a
relative of the family of the present
Earl Grey. He is a young and
ardent Liberal of conspicuous abil-
ity. The reply he gave shows that
England does not intend to inter-
fere in Hawaii. No vessels of war
will be sent, English interests be-
ing considered safe in American
hands, and there will only be a
chance call from a cruiser en- route.
Furthermore, no protest in any
shape has been sent to Washing
ton. Evidently the United States
may protect or annex as it pleases
without rufling the feelings of
other nations.-S. f. Call.

Favor of 1t.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. - Secretary
of State Foster has informed the
President that he will not go to
Paris as was intended to look after
the seal question, but will stay in
Washington and fight for the an
nexation of Hawaii.
When asked if he expected any
opposition to annexation by tire
Democrats or any resolution of in
quiry from Mr.. Cultivate, Secre-
tary Foster made a statement
which clearly indicates that the
policy of the Administration is in
favor of annexation.
"There is nothing in the situa.
ton to disturb my equanimity, and
l am not at all disturbed" he said
The people must bear in mind that

Scotch Smear.

A Philadelphia dispatch says:
Since the removal Of the duty upon
all grades of fine sugar up to sixteen,
Dutch standard, large importing
trade in Scotch sugar has grown up
at this point. Scotch sugar is said
to be equal to all grades of American
sugar up to sixteen, Dutch standard,
and has found ready sale.
This means that the work of rein
ing has been done in Scotland in
stead of this country The duty on
refined sugar is only half a cent a
pound, and the cheaper labor of the
old country enables them to undersell
the American refner in the American
market. The fact that the sugar re-
filming business OF this country is
largely in the hands of combine
will deprive the American company
of much of the sympathy that would
otherwise be felt fer it In a contest
with foreign refiners The condition
which is described in the dispatch
will apply to other industries when
the protective features are eliminated
from our tariff policy 1t will be
found that a great deal of work can
be done cheaper abroad than at home.
Sugar refners said that with free raw
sugar they could compete with for.
eign refners. They find. however,
that their market is being taken pos
session of by foreigners with duty
equal to about one-fourth Of the sell
ing price Of their product in their
favor. A measure which gives for.
eign works possession of a country is

ANNUAL RAINFALLS.

The meteorological branch of the
Survey Office issues, besides other
valuable matter, table of the an
nual rainfall of the Hawaiian ISL
ands at all the stations where there
are observers. The table gives the
elevation of each station with the
name of the observer, and shows
the rainfall for each month and the
total for the year. Copies of the
table are mailed to each observer,
and others may obtain them by
application at the Survey Office.

for rain, and leads the procession

Waiakea shows 10000. Hanalei

it will appear that Hanalei,
with 100 inches for ten months,
has not been suffering from
drought. Less than IS inches have
fallen at the Volcano House, which
confirms the praises showered upon

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1898.

THE Hale Naua Society evidently
stands in need of some investigat-
ing. According to statement
made in the Council the other day,
and reproduced in the ADVERTISER,
it, or some one on its behalf, has
appropriated books belonging to
the Government Library by the
neat and simple expedient of past
ing the society's label over the
Government stamp. This is not
a lawful method of acquiring title,
and it might DE well to have look
through the Hale Naua's library
and see how far it has enriched
itself by this or analogous me-
thods.

A Crushed Foot.

Early last evening while the band
was playing at the rooms of the
United Chinese Society, native on
horseback recklessly rode through
the crowd of people who were con-
gregated on the street enjoying the
music, knocking several of them
down. A white man, said to be
the mate of one Of the merchant
vessels in port, was trampled upon
by the animal. He was picked up
and carried to a neigboring store,
where, upon examination, it was
found that his left foot was badly
crushed. The wounded member
was dressed and the man conveyed
to his ship. The native was not
apprehended.

THE ISLAND OF WINGLESS BIRDS.

We have received from Mr.. J. J.
Williams number of very excel
lent views of birds that make Lay
san Island their home during
certain seasons of the year. One
variety manages to thrive very
we'll without the means of aerial
locomotion, which fact has earned
for Laysan Island the title of
Island of the Wingless Birds"
The views made by Mr.. Williams
are gems of Photographic art, and
include specimens of forty odd
varieties of birds, from the diminu-
tive snow bird to the black gooney.
One picture shows the birds nest
ing SO many of them and SO close
together are they that it is impos-
sible for person to walk over the
island without stepping on them.
Another shows the snow bird on it's
nest, and a popularity of the bird
is admirably illustrated. When the
mating season arrives this bird, in
stead of building a regular nest as
members of other feathery tribes
do, selects branch of a small bush
and lays her egg ON it without fur
