The Supposed VIII of 1856.

1t was stated this morning by a gentle
man who had been a neighbor of Judge
Holt all his life, that the mystery in re-
gard to the witnesses to the will of 1886
would in all probability be accounted for
If that document should ever be found by
the discovery that those witnesses, like
those WHO attested the will of 1873, were
all dead
Il was told, some years ago, said this gen.
tleman, by colored man. not member
of Judge Hollis household, that he had
learned, through the late r. j. Meigs, that
Judge Holt, in a will which he had made in
recent years. had provided small legacies of
few hundred dollars for Francis Strother
and her mother, Ellen, who had been house
keeping for Judge Holt for fifteen years.
Il asked this informant how he came to
know any such thing. and he told me that
Mr.. Meigs had read Judge Hollis will and
was oEe of the witnesses to it. OF course
this is hearsay, but l remember that this
information came to me several years ago
when there was no motive for bringing it
forward and am. inclined to think that
there must be something in it.
why Judge Holt should select Mr. Meigs,
who is very OLD man. although hale and
vigorous, and at that time going every day
to the city hall, 1 cannot well see. Prob
ably it was a matter of convenience, Mr..
Meigs being a next door ne;ghbor, and, Of
course, well versed in matters of law and
the attestation of legal papers"

density. the latest estimate being by Pro
lessor G. ii. Darwin. viz: $40. would
certainly be far above the accepted value
Of the mean density of the earth, the
latest determination by a. Berget, being
o.1l.
1t will be seen from the above that the
most probable conception as regards the
interior condition of the earth will be the
one which will give moderate maxi
mum density while being otherwise in
accordance with known correlated facts.
The view helu by officials of the United
States geological survey department
seems to SUIT the conditions OF the prob
lem better than any other. 1t is that the
earth is solid to the center. being COM
posed almost entirely of the surface rock,
which serves as a indus for the various
metals disseminated here and there with
in it. Until it can be shown that in the
genesis of the elements more of certain
elements was formed than of the remain
ing elements, it will be hard TO give up
the idea that the elements were deposited
IN the earth more or less according to
their specific gravities.
From observations on the density OF
the atmosphere it is known that as the
height above che surface OF the earth in
creases i'll an arithmctical ratio, the dens-
ity OF the atmosphere decreases in almost
geometrical ratio. For example, at u
height of about "a miles the density of
the atmosphere is about one half: at
about GS miles the density is ABOUT one
quarter, etc. From this we can infer
that the curve representing the variation
i'll the atmospheric density will be very
similar to the parabola. or perhaps the
hyper bola; that ii such a curve of atmos-
pheric density vaIation be dawn on a
meridianal plane of the earth, the verte1
of the curve will be on or quite near the
great circle representing the ,surface OF
the earth, as can be seen by constructing
the curve.
The variation in the atmospheric dens-
ity being represented by such curve.
the variation in the density of the earth
below the surface must also be represent
ed by similar curve. This curve, while

look at it that way and threw the gar

AMATEUR ATHLETIC CLUB.
A Road Race Arranged for the
Present Week.


A meeting of the Honolulu Anna
teur Athletic Club was held last
night in the parlors of the Y. M.
c.. A. About twenty persons were
present, and a red.hot discussion
resulted when tennis, the main
topic of the evening, was brought
up.
Charlie Hyde, as chairman O..
committee on tennis, made report
to the effect that he had tried his
best to get courts marked out and a
tournament arranged, but owing to
the seeming Observation-Disclosures on
the part of members of the commit
tee and the club itself, he was una
BILE to have the requisite arrange
ments made. The report was &C
cepted, and remarks on tennis in
general were in order.
The matter of securing the court
back of Punahou Preparatory
School for practice was brought up
and Immediately provoked storm
of indignant words from Charlie
Hyde. 1t seems that the matter
had been discussed outside of the
meeting, and nothing had been said
to the committee relative thereto.
Hapai thought that in view of
the Inactivity of the committee"
things had been discussed by
others with ga view of doing some
thing" B. r. Bear6more did not
think that Hyde had done his
duty. Hyde Immediately arose
and signified his intention ofresign-
ing from the committee. The
chairman thought that since the
committee had done so little, it
would be a good thing to consider
the Punahou Preparatory School
court. Vida Thrum signified his
intention of resigning from the
committee on account of the gen.
eral dissatisfaction. VIM. Schmidt
likewise rendered his resignation.
This left the club without ten
mis- committee and for while
there was CONSERVATION. The res
:gnations followed 80 close upon
one another and were so unex-
pected that there was hardly time |
to think. However, after recovering |
from the shock, a new committee,
consisting of B. F. Beardmore,
Charlie Anterior and William
Forbes, was appointed.
B. f. Beardmore, as chairman of
the new committee, made request
that all the property belonging to
the club be collected and put into
the hands of the treasurer in order
that members desiring the use of it
might be able to know just where
to go for it.
The next business was the cleo
ton of new members, and Sam
Mahuks, the crack baseball pitcher,
was admitted without dissenting
voice.
B. F. Beardmore suggested that
some kind of a road race between
picked men be held during the
present moonlight nights. The
was accepted by the
members of the club without fur
her consideration, and the APP
Dointment by the chairman of cap
,ains for the two teams resulted In
he choice of Charles Crane and B.
+. Beardmore. The arrangement
