UNION HALL.

For twenty years or more Union hall
has been used by the church and society
for religious purposes. W hen the school
building was built by the district this
hall was added as a second story, but
finished off by those interested in re-
ligious matters. The Sunday school and
all meetings of the church have been held
in it ever since.
From time to time improvements have
been made. In the fall of '92 it was
papered all over and ceiled up about four
feet high all around it, this ceiling
stained a bright cherry color. New
shutters We're put on the windows and
other little improvements made. This
work was done by the ladies' sewing
circle and cost considera bic sum.
The hall, however, belongs to the dis
trict, and when the building was pur-
chased by the city, the hall OF course
went also. The need of another school
an intermediate, makes it necessary tc
provide a room, and so about one-hall
the hail is to be partitioned off. This not
only mars the beauty OF the room foI
worship, but it so reduces the size of the
place that the audiences Will be crowded
While all regret the change, all admit
nevert heiess, that it is just and necessary
Considering the time the hail has been
used by he society, the rent paid IN the
shape of improvements Is comparatively
small, and since part of it must be sur
rendered, all are glad it is for purpose
that is of so much value as public
school.
Will Brown and Bert kincaid have be-
gun on the partition.

Music in the Pacific.

The first musical organization in
the Hawaiian Islands was the Anna

They were all musical very must

Edward Hoffman was the presi

with not only no sympathy but
holding the greatest contempt for
the "waltz players"

him from Germany around Cape

there, aud many OF the concerts
took place in DIR. Hoifman's drawing

THE WATER PROBLEM.

One Of the reflections passed upon
the unsatisfactory condition OF the
water supply, when the subject was
lately before the Councils, was that

the knowledge and experience on
record from preceding Governments.

Government will not follow this un-
wise course. Much valuable inform.

ment. There are accounts OF
droughts, some more severe than
that Of this year, with details Of how
the resultant scarcity OF water on
each occasion was mitigated. Some
Of the temporary expedients then
resorted to would probably, by per-
nsnent adoption Of the principle
and increase Of equipment, go far
toward . completely satisfactory
solution Of the problem. 1t is not
that water itself Is 50 scarce now
that tho supply is shortened, So
much Is that the means Of distribu.
ton are very inadequate. There il
