From this vestibule you pass in to
the auditorium, if your seat is In
the parquet or dress circle, and
passing through one of a series of
arches separating the foyer from
the auditorium proper, you pass
down to the seat.
Should your ticket call for a seat
in the balcony or gallery, you pass
from the vestibules just mentioned
up broad platform stairs, which are
at each front corner of the build
ing, to the second story of the
building. A feature of this part OF
the house which will be appreci'
ated by those who prefer balcony
seat (really the best IN any audito-
rium) is that separate stairways
are used for the gallery and bal
cony, and none need fear to use the
seats in this part of the house be-
cause of the crowd which focks tC
the gallery.

plans for rebuilding the same.
Architect Ripley was instructed
to submit designs, with estimates
of cost. The first question asked
was regarding the walls left stand
ing. Would they be suitable to
use again? The architect assured
the owners that they were as good
as new, and advised their use. But
as this was public building, to be
used for the accommodation of
large audiences, he requested that a
commission of experts be employed
to pass upon the strength and
safety of the walls, so there might
be no possible chance for rumors to
arise which should affect the char
acter of the building when COM
pleted. So Superintendent of
Public Works w. E. Rowell,
Robert Lishman and Fritz Will
helm were employed to make a
report upon the character of the
brick work now standing as the
remains of the old opera house.
These experts in building con-
struction, after a most careful
examination, pronounced the pres
ent walls to be in perfect condition
and suitable for use, thus confirm
ing the architects decision and

STREET NUMBERING.
Assurance that the Enterprise VIII
be Thoroughly Accomplished.

Considerable scepticism is ex-
pressed by citizens as to the car
rying out, in thorough manner,
of the street numbering project
recently started. The manage
ment and promoters stated today
to a BULLETIN representative that
they we'll appreciated the fact that
unless the city and suburbs are
numbered completely, the value
of numbers over the thickly set.
tied portion only would be of little
worth, comparatively. They guar
antee that every single twenty
five feet of frontage will be sur
veyed and assigned a proper
number.
An infinite amount of annoy.
ance will be saved to business
men, the newspapers and, in fact,
everyone. After the contract
which they have taken is complet-
ed anyone, by giving their street
number as q direction, will have
indicated which side of the street
named they live, and the distance
from Nuuanu street or the water
front Gin blocks). Whenever
the postal delivery system is
inaugurated the correct number
ing of streets will prove of i'm
mense value.
AS it is now, a resident says,
"Deliver my goods, or paper, to
the seventh house beyond the sec
ond street Waikiki of Thomas
square on the mauka side next to
Jones on the left and Brown on
the right" One can imagine
how difficult it is to find anybody,
especially on the outskirts. There
is no doubt as to the thorough
completion of this work, and the
promoters are to be complimented
upon their enterprise.

Size and Physical Endurance.

Physical endurance is not a
necessary accompaniment of I'M
usual size, according to the Police
Commissioners of Cincinnati.
Some years ago the standard of
height for admission to the police
force, originally five feet seven
and one-half inches, was raised to
five feet nine inches. Later an
other inch was added, the pur-
pose being to lift the standard
slowly until six feet had been
reached. But now a return has
been made to five feet eight and a
half inches as the standard. One
of the commissioners explains
that by careful observation we
have come to the conclusion that
ninety percent of the big men of
the department cannot stand the
work as we'll as the smaller men
Another reason for the change, in
which there is a tribute to the
salubrity of the country and its
effect on physical growth, is that
