Animals Eyes.

When the snake sheds his skin, the
skin of the eye comes of with the rest.
Translucent in most parts, the skin
over the snake eye is perfectly trans
parent.
The chameleons eyes are situated
in bony sockets projecting from the
head. By this curious contriyance
the animal can see in any direction
without the slightest motion, save Of
the eye.
The ostrich is believed TO see objects
behind him as well as those in front.
Persons standing directly behind an
ostrich can see the pupils of his eyes
and, of course, are thus easily seen by
the animal.
The owls eyes have no muscles by
which they can be moved. This def
cheney is atoned for by extraordinary
Aexibility in the muscles of the neck,
by which the owl can move his head
with incredible rapidity in any direc-
ton.
A mole's eyes are believed to give
the animal nothing more than an i'm
preston of light, which is probably
painful or at least annoying, the sem
sation prompting the creature at once
to burrow into the earth and escape
the annoyance.
A deer's eyes command wide field
Of vision, and the animal can see be-
hind as well as before, though not 50
distinctly, for when alarmed by noise
from the rear the deer will always
turn so a. to gain a clearer view Of the
object
Oysters are provided with eyes, but
the oysters eye is not located where
public opinion places it. What is
called the eye Of the oyster is the great
muscle which holds the shells together,
and which is separated by the knife
Of the opener.

TRAN SITION.

From height to height, from transient day 10
day,
The soul goes seeking its divine desire,
Growing and deepening as new hopes in
spire
A bold prog ression in a bolder way.
Spurred by mighty zeal, it cannot stay
Quiescent like a strong but unfed IRE;
The son takes up the burden OF his sire,
And bids the future lead him as 1t may.
Thus do the generations change their creeds,
Thus dreams are nurtured Till they grow TO
deeds,
Thus time may turn aside AL ancient doom.
So winter merges into summer skies
And as the mists Of spring are made to rise,
The fadel hawthorn finds the rose In bloom

BADLY WANTED NATIVE.
Born, Brought up and Spent a Great
Part of His Time in Prison.
Arrested Tuesday Night While I'm Mis-
chief and Finds several War
rants Awaiting Him.

George Nakolo, alias Paahao, the
latter of which names means prisoner
has come 10 grief again and has
bumped up against a regular hornets
nest of warrants.
a mounted patrolman was sent to
Kakaako late Tuesday night in re-
Spouse TO a telephone message which
conveyed the impression that some
shooting was going on at Kumuihis
house. Upon arrival there Paahao was
arrested on complaint of Kumuihi, who
complained that the former had en-
tered the house while he was asleep
and that upon attempting TO put him
out had tried to do him up in a
scuffie. Paahao finally got outside and
in order to keep off people whom Ku-
muihi had called to his aid to expel the
intruder, had fired off a revolver.
1t was found Wednesday morning
that Paahao was wanted by H. E.
Walker and T. V. King for taking BIZ
cycles for a short time and keeping
them Indefinitely. Then again he is
wanted for assault and battery on W.
WardelI
PaahaO has quite a spotted career.
He was born in prison twenty years
ago and spent several years of his life
there. When he was but 10 years of
age he was sent to the reform school
for long term for larceny. At 10
years of age he was given nine months
in prison for another case of larceny,
and last year his term in prison for
vagrancy ended January LIST. Since
that time he has figured in the esca-
pades already given.
Paahao is natural born villain,
and seems to be unhappy unless in
some mischief which will end by his
being sent TO his natural home behind
the prison walls.

What Is
PURIFINE?

It is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being q scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of a powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where odors and germs Of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.00
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles, and ap-
peals to everyone OF common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell Of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
its place. You don't know that a
powerful disinfectant is being used
II you judge by the lack of odor.

Board of Equalization Finished Its Work
Monday Evening and Adjourned
After being in session for nearly a
week the city council as board OF
equalization adjourned Monday evening
having disposed of everything which
had come before them and their books
were closed to any further action.
While there were numerous complaints
before the board hardly any received
favorable action and the assessment
was left at the same figure in nearly
every instance. Monday evening a
number of gentlemen were summoned
to appear before the board to explain
why their credit securities had escaped
assessment. Auditor Smith had pre-
viously visited the county records and
found numerous credit securities held
by these men and which the board con-
sidered should be assessed the same as
any personal property. Cashier Logan,
of the First National bank, Cashier
Dawson of the Mitchell National bank,
and Cashier Kibbee of the Security
bank were each questioned in reference
to their credit securities and they con
vinced the board that their holdings
had been listed with the regular bank
assessments, consequently their assess
ment was not raised. D. W. Collins,
VIM. Koch, John Colvin and Frank
Weller were shown list of their secur-
tiles as taken from the county records
and after each had been thoroughly
questioned as to whether the notes were
good or bad, and how much had been
paid on them the board decided to make
q raise on the assessment of two of the
gentlemen. Mr.. Collins was raised S5S
and Frank Weller was advanced 1921. 25.
The other gentlemen showed that their
assessment had been made about right.
1t required great deal of time and
patience to get through with the long
list of securities, but the board felt that
it had done its duty and had establish
ed precedent which later boards
might follow with profit.
DR.. Bracy asked for a reduction on
his land west of the city, which was al
so up for reduction last year. After
considerable discussion the board de-
clined to make any change in the fig.
ures.

MISS MCDONALD DEAD.

Thursday of Brights Disease.
Death entered the home of Mr.. and
