THAT SETTLES 1T.

At a meeting of the Mission
Children's Society, held last Satur.
day evening, Serene E. Bishop read
a paper from which the Advertiser
has taken the following extract:
"Honolulu is the natural calling
port for steamers to replenish their
coal. One can easily foresee that
within 25 years there may be 400
steamships year touching for coal
at Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, and
for their supply perhaps hundred d
or more OF coal ships. 1t is evident
that both Honolulu and Pearl
City will have great enlargement
in the near future.
"Present indications appear to
point to an early annexation of Ha-
waii to the United States. The
natural consequence of this will be a
rapid influx OF white population to
occupy the new American State.
There is every sign that these isl.
ands are very close to an immense
development in population. 1t ap-
pears that we are now living at the
very important juncture when new
and great State is to be developed.
This is great aud fortunate oppor-
tunity for us, and our children, if
wisely improved by enlightened
souls belonging to the Kingdom OF
Christ"

Minister Damon in the las session
of the Legislature stated daily that
he intended to be rigidly econmical
with the public money, allow no un-
necessary expense and that he
always would frankly tell the .coun-
try all about the business. He said
it so often that even the Opposition
believed him. Recent occurrences
have made us doubtful, however.
Mr.. Damon's subordinate, Collector
General Castle has been absent from
his post for about five months ira.

Mr.. George Ashley, the Registrar of

frankly, was it not possible for
Hatch, Hastings and Allen to ar
range that seal? None OF these high
officials have anything to do beyond
drawing their salaries and surely
such three little great diplomats
ought to know all about seals. Then
there is Minister Cooper-well never

The Dutch In Japan, I64O.

The Dutch!nen were confined within
lie narrow bounds of their island prison
which, as kacmpfer tells US, was by
his own measuring 236 PAGES long by SO
PAGES Lroad--and shut i'll by high pal
isiAiis topped with spikes. A more
mou0tonOus existence could scarcely be
conceived. In the earlier days some half
dozen ships would arrive during the
year, but from the beginning of the
eighteenth century not more than one
OF two annually-gcnerally about Sep
tembcr. They had scarcely anchored
when the resident, with his rctinue, had
to set out on his long and costly journey
to Tokyo, to deliver the customary pres
cnts to the shogun. The humiliations
these p@or Dntchmen were compelled to
undergo are well described by Kaempfer
i'll his immortal history:
CAS- soon us he (the Resident Van
Erutcnheim in l69l) came into the en-
peror's presence the commissioners cried
out, 'Oranda Kapitain. X Accord
ingly, he crawlcd on his hands and
knees to IL place between the presents
and the emperor. X = Then, kneeling,
he bowed his forehead quite down to the
ground, and so craWlCd backward like
ii crab, without utloring one single
word. So mean and short thing is the
audience we have Of this mighty mon
arch.
In the following year, l692, the new
resident, Van OutAoorn, was subjected
to even greater indignity. "We were
commanded, writes kacmpfer, "to sit
upright, take Off oar cloaks, stand up,
walk, turn about, sing songs, compli-
mcnt one another, be angry, ETC., to
jamp, dance, play galnbols, etc. )" and
even "to kiss one another like man and
wife, which the ladies Of the court
showed particularly by their laughter
they were well pleased with. "-Athe-

Marine Music a Failure.

Until some recent discoveries by Pro
fessor Saussier of Vevey, Switzerland,
it was not suspected that fishes were af-
fected by music. In shallow inlet Pro-
fessor Saussier found queer arrange
ment of strings in the water which de-
manded examination. Viewing the af-
fair from distance with a water tele-
scope he saw that some fishes, which
had, by the usual painful method, gain
ed possession of several fragments Of
fishline, were passing them around two
sticks thrust into the water by some fish
erman. When the strings were strung,
the stakes We're wedged apart by piling
stones between them SO as to tighten the
strings, three Or four fishes rolling a
stone along the bottom with their noses.
The operation was necessarily SLOW.
The professor watched it at intervals for
two or three days.
Finally, when all was ready, the lar
gest fish seized stick Or bone, and,
using it as a plectrum, twanged the
strings with it, while the other fishes
gathered around to hear the music. OF
course, there was none, us the sub
merged strings refused to sound. After
several trials the fishes tore up their wa
ter harp in disgust. They had probably
caught their idea from Aimee Saussier,
the professors daughter, who was in
the habit of playing harp by the bank.
