FILTERS.

The report of the execu-
tive officer of the Board of
Health relative to the
condition of the Nuuanu
reservoirs is suggestive of
something dangerous to
health. It also suggests fill
tiers, good filters, something
that will effectually separate
the water from mud and filth.
Nature has done much
toward providing the people
with neceSSarieS; it has also
done a little toward securing
for the people, luXurieS In
some localities a filter is a
luxury, in others, Honolulu
for instance, it is a necessity,
but the natural filters that are
sold have been much inn
proved by the ingenuity of
man.
Charcoal is admitted to be
the most thorough purifying
agent known, consequently
M5SSrS. Slack & Brownlow Sc

facture of their filters. And

particular brand of filter in

no right whatever to do so.

a suit involving $500 for damages that
is against the city and the water over
seer for taking their water and selling
1t to Cinnamon principally outside and
below the city, Witch they have no right

PHENOMENAL SPEED

CeIcs In Sixteen and One.Third Hinutes

Pigeons FIv From Santa Monica to Los An.
cercs In sixteen and One-Third 7inutes
The fifth homing pigeon race from
Santa Monica to Los Angeles Will be
long remembered as speedy one. This
time all the birds belonging to the diff
erent parties were liberated at the same
time. which W Cos p. m. August LIST.
Apparently the weather was nothing
extra for pigeon flying, but the birds
had the go, in them. Two pigenos be-
longing to r. Casenave, whose loft is
at 456 Grand avenue, and the five be-
longing to o. F. Zahn of Az South Hope
street were seen all in flock when
little distance from home and Wnen
within less than fifty yards OF Zahn' $
place Casenaves' two birds branched
off to their loft, block away.
The exact time of arrival at Zahn' 9
loft was 6:24 1-3 p. m. and to Casenaves'
loft a few seconds later. Thus the hom-
ers made the astonishing time of Ii 1-3
minutes.
The air line distance is about fifteen
miles and the average speed was 1915
wards per minute. This is probably a
record that will not be beaten for some
time and is the best speed ever made in
competition in Southern California.
Other parties entered birds, but they
did not do as well. In the fourth race
some of the birds made the distance IN
1879 minutes. which was thought would
remain a record. At the time the birds
were credited with only 211a minutes,
but 1t has since been learned that the
first lot of birds were liberated at 6:oI
u. m, instead of SOS y. m. the liberator
having missed the time the first lot
being o. F. Zahn's birds. They won the
race by liz minutes better time than
Casenaves', which Were liberated at 6:l5
y. m. and arrived at 6:36 p. m.
One of the birds with the 16 1-3 minute
record has already been transferred TO
the loft of Mr.. E. De Garmo.

Reading Finished Before Board
of Equalization
A VERY TEDIOUS FORMALITY
The Hearing Of Petitions Will Begin on
Thursday Next
The Public Market Riparian Ames
and Mr.. nunson- Committee Re
ports-Fires for July

The reading Of the city assessment
rolls before the city council, sitting as
board of equalization, was concluded
by Chief Deputy Clerk Charles L. Wilde
Yesterday at noon. This monotonous
formality having been concluded, the
board concluded to rest from Its ardu-
Gus labors, and set Thursday next al ~
o'clock as the date on which the hearing
of petitions for the equalization or as
sessments will commence. The board
will conclude its labors on the 18th inst.
So far there has been but little grum-
bling heard, and it is not believed that
there will be a great number OF petit
lions presented. The figures or the
city assessor are considerably below
those of the county, and most property
owners will probably abide by the as
SCISSORS figures.
APPROVE THE PUBLIC MARKET
When the public market was first sug-
gested, the idea Sas received with con-
siderable mild sarcasm by some OF the
members of the council. But Papa
Kingery. Mr. Munson and others kept
up the agitation, and finally worked 1t
through. The market was success
from the first day, and has more than
paid the running expenses. The cham,
Der of commerce has sent to the councll
the following letter commencing its ac-
ton in the matter:
To the City Council of Los Angeles
Gentlemen: l have the honor to inform
you that at the last meeting OF the
board of directors of the chamber OF
commerce, a resolution was passed com
mending your honorable body for the
wisdom which you have shown in the
establishment of a public market in
this city, and assuring you that the
chamber of commerce has received
many evidences in the expressions OF
the ranchers of this section that the en-
terprise is a success and is achieving
great deal of good.
The board also urges that as soon as
practicable steps be taken to enlarge
this market to an area which will meet
all its increasing business. and also to
effect such improdvements in the way
of asphalt pavement and roofing as
will make the use of it possible during
the coming winter season.
In accordance with directions from
the board, I transmit their action to
your honorable body
Very respectfully,

Briar-Bend Literary.

The literary society connected
with Briar-Bend Seminary, Mt
Lake Park, held its second meeting
Friday evening, Feb. rs, 1896, and
was called to order by the president,
Prof. f. NJ. Noa.
A varied and very attractive lit.
erary and musical program was pre-
scented.
The following papers were read:
An article on the Armenian atroci-
ties and what America ought to do
in order to put stop to them. The
author took strong ground that the
most effective manner in which to
accomplish this would be for the
whole civilized world, America in
cluded, to meet in International con-
ference.
The second paper, which was pre-
pared and read by Miss Mamie
Weber, gave very beautiful account
Of the life and songs of Robert Burns
the Poet of Nature. Miss Weber's
selections from "The Cotter's Sat
urday Night were very much APP
preciated by the audience.

Good Roads.

The New York Tribune says:
cat recent gathering of Pennsyl-
vania road reformers, Mr.. A. j. Al
bertson,a well known civil engineer,
who has done effective work in the
reconstruction of roads in New Jer-
sey, gave some interesting facts
bearing on the progress of road re-
form in recent years. 1t has been
proved, he says, that on sandy roads
30 bushels of grain are a load for
two horses; on so-called pike roads
80 bushels are the maximum load
on macadam roads 100 bushels, and
on the best grades of telford roads,
200 bushels can be carried. If these
figures are correct, and there is no
reason to question them, they furnish
an impressive argument for the i'm
provement of roads-an argument
moreover, which ought to appeal
most powerfully to farmers, whose
interest in the question has thus far
been rather sluggish. The agitation
for good roads accomplished little
so long as it was discussed from the
speculative point of view. People
who read appeals on the subject,
agreed with them in theory, perhaps
but they saw no reason why they
should personally do anything in the
matter"
