Dr. Goodnight returned last Sat
urday from his summer campaign in
the County Institutes of Teachers
in the Southern and Eastern parts
of the State. He has been actively
at work in the interests of the Ulli
versity ever since the close of the
University year in June
He was at the Concord and the
Shepherdstown Normal Commence
ments; at the State Educational As
ISOLATION at Charleston, and at the
National Educational Association,
at Buffalo, n. Y.
Since these meetings he has been
actively engaged in Institutes, TAX
ing part in the regular Institute
work and delivering addresses to
Institutes at night.
He reports that there is an intense
interest. in Educational matters in
the State. The Teachers have been
in attendance in greater numbers at
these Institutes than ever before in
the history of the state. The stand
ard for teachers has been raised in
many of the Counties, and all the
County Superintendent are demand
ing more thorough preparation on
the part ofthe Free School Teach
ers.
Manifestly the educational tide is
rising in the State. The outlook for
the University has never been so
bright The indications point to a
much larger attendance than last
year. The Cadet Corps is already
full by appointments, and even some
desiring places who may not secure
them unless some already appointed
fail to reach the University. The
University is well spoken of and
commended in all parts of the State.
The leading and influential citi-
zens of all sections feel such an in
terest in its success, that its future
patronage and success is assured.
The opening day will be Wednes-
day Sept. 9th, 8 A. NJ. An opening
address will be delivered by the
President.
All citizens of the town and 9th
ers interested in the University are
cordially invited to be present, the
opening day in connection with the
students and enjoy the address by
the President.

Death of Palmer Parker.

Palmer Kuihelani Parker, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Parker, a
young man of IS years, died at the
family home on King street about
Z o'clock last night, the cause being
pneumonia, developed from a Sc
we're case of typhoid fever contract
ed several weeks ago. The body
will be taken to Mana on the next
trip of the Kinah, to be inferred in
the family vault at that place. Ed.
A. Williams will have charge of
funeral arrangements.
Palmer Parker was a young man
well known and highly respected
by all those who knew him, on ac-
count of his ever courteous and
gentlemanly manner, coupled with
a genuine spirit of generosity. AS
an athlete he made quite a reputa-
ton, especially while attending
school at Punahou. He was always
interested in all matters relating to
sports of any kind, showing his
love for the freedom of out-of-door
life. AS boon companion, gen.
erous friend and a devoted son and
brother, he will be sadly missed.

CRITICIZES THE SEAL.
Mr.. Thrum Offers Timely Sug.
gestions to the Legislature.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In the recon-
mended design Of the Great Seal
submitted by the committee to the
Legislature for approval, as given
in Tuesdays ADVERTISER, there
are two points which will bear some
consideration before it meets final
adoption. The design, as a whole,
will doubtless strike the majority
of people agreeably, but this fact
should hardly suffice to perpetuate
errors and incOngreities, which, by
timely critical examination would
remove them to the great advan-
tage of the whole.
/ respectfully submit that the
design would be improved by the
omission of the tabled phoenix,
thereby giving more room and con-
trast for the central shield and sup
porting figures, which in them
selves, as grouped together, well
portrays the new era Of Hawaii,

PROBLEMS PROPoUNDED.
Questions in License Asked by
Mr., HOrner.

Mr.. EDITOR From indications
there will be brought before our COM
ing Legislature, bills for extending
liquor and opium licenses, therefore
permit me few words. There are
SIX things difficult to compreheud,
yea seven, that are hard to under
stand.
Will some one explain.
First How a judge feels when
sentencing criminal TO prison or
the gallOws for crime committed
while crazed with rum purchased at a
rumshop, voted for aud set up by the
judges consent at which the fudge
sometimes takes "a nip" for his
stomach sake" and TO so keep in
with the rum seller and thus secure
his vote and Influence.
Second: How a merchant, who
deals only in the necessaries of life
can justify his complaint of "dull
times" WHEN be knows such large
sums are spent daily at the runs hop,
which custom be encourages by voice
and vote TO retain the rumshop. He
may b. customer.
Third: How men who love their
kind aud their country's welfare, can
quietly submit to see -drunkard fac
tories multiply with all their evil
effects upon society aud not exert
themselves to prevent it.
Fourth: How governments that
are supposed to work for the general
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1896-02-28

in Science" of January 31st
stamps the discovery as a genuine
one, though the methods and re-
suits described in the newspapers,
notably in the ADVERTISER of the
14th, are not strictly as authorita-
lively reported.
The facts of the case may be
briefly stated thus: Within a
vacuum tube of glass, brilliantly
colored rays of electric light are
produced by an induction coil,
radiating from cathode" or sin
gle point, and not from two cleo
trodes. When these rays pass
through the glass, they become
what are termed tx rays" In the
character of these X-rays comes in
the new discovery. They will pass
drought black card board and
affect a Photographic dry plate on
the other side of the board, even at
several feet distance. So of thick
pamphlet, or a wooden board even
an. inch thick. These rays will
pass through very thin metal
sheets, the thinness necessary vary
ing with the metal. Silver of the
thickness of dime stops them.
They Will pass through. leather or
skin, and even through muscle or
flesh up to a certain. thickness.
Now we can see how if a purse
containing coin is held between the
Crookes' tube as it is called, and
Photographic plate contained in a
camera box-without any lens
the shadows of the coins will APP
pear on the plate as light spots,
precisely as the white lines appear
on a blue print, for the reason that
the X-rays pass through the leather
of the purse but not through the
metal. Now as the rays do not
pass through the bones of the hand,
on account of the mineral matter
in them, but do to a degree pass
through the skin and muscles, the
image of the hand interposed be-
tween the tube and the plate, will
appear on the plate, with bones
white, the general contour of the
hand slightly dark, and the sur
rounding space very dark. What
is obtained is therefore essentially
what is termed a print.
1t is said above that camera
without a lens is required. The
X-rays are not refracted by glass
lenses, and consequently ordinary
photography by this means seems
al present impossible. 1t must be
therefore that the CHASTITY portrait
exhibited in the paper, of the skele-
ton sitting by the side of the young
lady, was somewhere a 'fake" pure
and simple. But the discovery it.
self is an exceedingly important
one as well as real, and Professor
Roentgen the discover, has received
a merited decoration from the EN-
peror of Germany.

sign is overcrowded. A removal
of this emblem of immortality will
allow the main feature of the de-
sign to drop down trifie, and the
remaining space at the base would
be set off more advantageously by
the taro and fern leaf decorations.
Apart from the honest difference
of opinion existing relative to the

sense, it is questionable taste to
saddle Grecian mythology upon a
