"Where the barometer points, whether
it is high or low, is not the important
thing. 1t Is the fluctuations of the mer-
curry which are of Importance and must
be watched.
The barometer does but one simple
thing. it records at all times the COM
parative weight and consequently the
height of the air above the place where
ii stands. Farometers such as some which
are In use by the United States Weather
Bureau make an actual record of these
variations upon paper wrapped about
turning cylinder. IL you take one OF
these record papers you Will see that the
line upon 1t is one like the horizon line
OF cross section of land. Sometimes 1t
undulates in long, low, and smooth waves,
and sometimes II becomes abrupt and
broken into jagg,u lines like those OF

In the tropics, right under the mid
day sun, you would see the air swell up
with the heat ana the wave thus formed

ward the poles. Ii would be long low,

things which would gradually transform
that original wave into a sea broken by
waves OF such magnitude that the noun

poor mortals upon the earth what we call

The barometer can measure but one
element which thus produces weather.
but as this is the primary cause OF all

it has very properly been called the

A Little Incident of Army Life Described
by a Veteran.

"Whenever see O housewife swishing
the flies out of room with dust cloth,
and maybe following up one solitary fly
until she gets rid of it, and then closing
the Stats OF the blinds TO keep the room
nice and COOL" said an old soldier to
New York sun reporter, cit makes me
think OF little incident OF my life in the
army. We had at one time sibley tents.
They were big tents, you remember, cir
cular TO the ground, each made to
hold ABOUT eighteen men, and supported
by centre pole, and having circular
opening at the top for ventilation. This
opening was perhaps ten or twelve inches
in diameter. IT had a cover OF some sort
for bad weather, but the one that be-
longed TO our tent we lost right away,
and we never got another.
"One day in Virginia our tent was full
OF flies. ] never saw so many flies be-
fore. should say there must have been
about seventeen millions of them. don't
know what brought so many of them into
our tent, maybe somebody had piece
of meat there, but one of the men was in
clined to be a little disturbed by them.
He thoughtthere was a hundred million
OF them, and i said i thought he mig ht
be right. 81.
We'll, by thunder he said, Pm going
TO get rid OF them q
"He got some powder. I don't know
now much, Dut something less than
tou, and spread it round in the tent and
led train outside. Then when we'd got
everybody out OF the way he fired the
train.
s"You' We seen the steam come out OF the
smokestack OF a locomotive when the en-
gine was exnausting, quick puff straigh hit
up and then cloud OF expanding steam.
Well, that puff OF powder smoke went up
out of the opening in the top of our tent
something like that, only there was ten
times as much Of 1t and it broadeped out
into great white cloud; and up through
the center of this cloud, below 1t, and
through it, and above IL, the size of the
opening Of the tent, rose what seemed
TO be a solid column of flies; IL i hadn't
seen flies since should think that all the
flies in the world must have been blown
up in that explosion.

it's fullest extent, and we reaffirm the
right of the United States to give the
doctrine effect by responding to the
appeals of any American state for our
friendly intervention in case of Euro
pean encroachment. We have not in
terferred with and shall not interfere
with the existing possessions of any
European power in this hemisphere,
but those possessions must not on any
preteXt be extended.
(Navy)
The peace and security of the Re-
public and the maintenance of it's
rightful influence among the nations
of the earth demand naval power
commensurate with it's position and
responsibility. We therefore favor the
continued enlargement of the Navy
and a complete system of harbor and
sea-coast defenses.

We watch with deep and abiding in
terest the heroic battle of the Cuban
patriots against cruelty and oppres-
sion, and our best hopes go out for
the full success of their determined
contest for liberty.
(Rights of Women.)
The Republican party is mindful of
the rights of women. Protection of
American industries includes equal OPP
portunities, equal pay for equal work
and protection to the home. We favor
the admission of women to wider
spheres of usefulness, and welcome
their cooperation in rescuing the
country from Democratic and Populist
mismanagement and misrule.
(Strikes.)
We favor the creation of a National
board of arbitration to settle and adj
just differences which may arise be-
tween employers and employed in in
terstate commerce.
Uynchings.)
We proclaim our unqualified con-
barous practice well known as lynch
ing or killing of human beings sus-
pected or charged with crime without
process of law.
Temperance
We sympathize with all wise and le-
gitmate efforts to lessen and prevent
the evils of intemperance and promote
morality.

Fritz Wilhelm has the building con-
tract. The house will stand at the
corner of Wilder avenue and Punahou
street and will front on both. 1t will
be two stories, and will contain eight
principal apartments besides kitchen
to be attached only by lattice pass

rustic furnishings.
The front on Wilder avenue will be

PREAMBLE TO PLATFORM

The Republicans of the United
States, assembled by their represen-
tatives in National convention, appeal
ing for the popular and historic JUS
tification of their claims to the match
less achievements of thirty years of
Republican rule, earnestly and con-
fidently address themselves to the
awakened intelligence, experience and
conscience of their countrymen in
the following declaration of facts and
principles:
For the first time since the Civil
War the American people have witness
sed the calamitous consequences of
full and unrestricted Democratic con-
troll of the Government. 1t has been
a record of unparalleled inoapacity, dis
honor and disaster In administrative
management it has ruthlessly sacri-
feed Indispensable revenue, entailed
an nceasing deficit, el<ed out ordi-
nary current expenses with borrowed
money, piled up the public debt by
$500 100000 in time of peace, forced an
adverse balance of trade, kept per-
1etual menace hanging over the re-
demption fund, pawned American
credit to alien syndicates. and reversed
all the measures and results of sue
cessful Republican rule. In the broad
effect of it's policy il has precipitated
panic, blighted industry and trade
with prolonged depression, closed fac
tories, reduced work and wages, halt
ed enterprise and crippled American
production, while stimulating foreign
production for the American market.
! Every consideration of public safety
and individual interest demands that
the Government shall be rescued from
the hands of those who have shown
themselves incapable to conduct it
without disaster at home and dishon-
or abroad, and shall be restored to
the party which for thirty years adj
ministered it with unequaled success
and prosperity.

ers have been threatened in Alaska.
The Monroe doctrine has been defend
ed, but it is not yet vindicated. The
people of a neighboring island, fight
ing for freedom, look toward us with
imploring eyes, and look in vain. The
American policy which would protect
our industries at home and our flag
abroad las faded and withered away.

one of the best for a mansion of the
