Of the Merced River. in the grand valley
of the Yosemite. This view is from the
bank of the river and facing two of
the famous peaks there, and from the
cloud-tipped summit of one the river
gushes forth in a magnificent waterfall,
disappearing again behind a foothiIl
and hidden from view until it appears
again flowing around a tree-sheltered
bend, and widening out until it be-
comes a transparent lake. Focus the
picture with your hand and the entire
scene is before you in magnificent
grandeur and lifelike effect. There is
nothing lost in the picture, and the at
mospheric effect is attained in such a
capital manner that the painting may
be described as one marvelously true
to nature.
Another oil that will attract the at

the grandest collection, from an artistic
point of view, ever seen in this country.
Mr.. Fisher, though hardly in the mid
de period of life, has reputation as
an artist extending from Europe to Ha-
waii, for even in this little community
his paintings will be found in the resi-
dences of men who are admirers of art
for arts sake.
I Some years ago w. NJ Giffard visited
Mr.. Fishers studio in San Francisco
and made a selection of his, at that
time, recent paintings, and brought
them here. Since then there has been
a desire in the breasts of other people
here to possess them without having to

To say that Artist Fishers works in
oil are superior to those he has painted
in water colors would be wrong. If
there is a difference it is in the
strength of the colors. His methods in
water color are different from those of
the average artist, and it is in the diff
ference in the handling that one might
with some degree of truth decide that
his No. SO in the exhibition, Twilight
in California; is superior to the scene
on the American River. The public has
been educated to expect in water color
sketches fiat illustration of the paint
er's idea of the subject, a boldness of
execution and quantity OF laying in by
washes without regard to detail In
this class of paintings the purchaser is
left to supply what is lacking in detail,
and to do this his art gallery must be a
larger room than is found in Honolulu
built houses. Mr. Fishers paintings are
effective without sacrificing technique;
his paintings bear close inspection at
arms s length, nor do they lose in effect
when hung at distance. Take his No

snow-covered, are so well depicted that

Nitrate Takes Fire

There was considerable excitement
along the water front in the vicinity
of the Inter-Island wharf yesterday
morning, just as the U. S. S. Charles
ton was steaming out of the harbor. A
scow loaded with nitrate was being
hauled from the railroad wharf over to
the Likelike. when, upon arriving near
the Mikahala, several of the bags took
fire through the action of the sun. 9th
er bags caught fire and the dozen men
on the scow were kept busy dumping

vent further spreading. The mems

characters to be formed by some green
boy or girl who has never given one
half hour in special preparation for the
work. This is a mystery that can be
explained only upon the supposition
that such people do not realize the fact
that preparation for teaching is i'm
peratively necessary, and that it can
be made.
OF course l am now speaking of the
preparation for the teachers work,
which ought to be made before taking
charge OF a school. believe, to a GER
tain extent, that teachers, like poets
and artists, are born, not made, because
we often find that if one has this native
gift or talent for teaching they may en-
ter upon the work without any prepara-
ton, and yet at the end of few terms
spent in the schoolroom be found skill
ed workmen. Probably they might have
acquired the skill of a mechanic in a
similar way, but the waste of material
that would attend their apprentice eff
forts would be positive and sufficient
barrier in that case. What a pity that
the waste of children's powers and time
cannot be estimated as easily. Every
one has heard of the reply of the cele-
brated French occulist when some one

NECESSITY FOR
SUMMER SCHOOLS.
LITERATURE FOR TEACHERS.

The following paper was read before
the Kauai Teachers Association few
weeks ago by Harry u. Austin, secre-
tary of the organization. 1t contains
much that is of interest upon that topic
which is now uppermost in the thoughts
of the pedagogues:
Whether summer schools are neces-
sary and helpful is a question that may
require careful thought before a salts
factory answer is arrived at And yet,
necessary before and after becoming a
teacher?" we have the'very positive af-
firmative answer from the most gifted
minds OF the educational world. Is not
to the question, us special preparation
the answer to one question the answer
to the other? Let us see
One of the most disheartening things
connected with our public schools is the
lack of fitness on the part of the teach
ers. A large proportion of them-pos-
sibly majority-have made less prep
aration for their delicate and difficult
work than they would have made for
the most ordinary trade. And this de-
state of things exists because
the public, the community in which IL
prevails, permits it to exist Men, as
general rule, will not take an old piece
of machinery to be repaired, or order a
new machine of the commonest sort,
made except by a skilled mechanic. Yet
these same men will send their children
to be taught and allow their minds and

things that were being passed around.
Windows were smashed, the water

There were twenty-six men in the muss
