| The situation of the shed with re-
more of it than at Makiki butts, but
it will come from the side so that the
men will be entirely unaffected. There
will be none of that disagreeable
blowing directly into the shed such as
| is often experienced at the Makiki
butts
The roof is of shingles instead of
rough boards and in the event of rain
storm one can sit down and read Du
Maurier's famous novel called "Tril-
by and about to be presented here
by the Palmer Company, without
thinking about change of clothes
upon arrival home
The gun racks in each of the eight
compartments of the shed will be
large enough to accommodate Is guns.
The bulkheads for the eight COM
panies are 146 feet long and 10 feet
wide. At high tide the water comes
within about an inch of the top of the
coral rock foundation upon which the
bulkheads stand.
The markers bulkheads are feet
high, s feet wide and 2 feet inches
thick, being furnished with a bottom
which keeps the sand, contained there
in, from settling. There will be
target on either side of each.
The target bulkheads are feet high,
Il feet long and 16 inches wide, being
arranged with respect to sand just in
the same manner as are the markers
bulkheads
To the left of the Company A mar
kers bulkhead is a target bulkhead,
but s feet long and to the right of that
of Company H at the extreme right
is another of the same length. Now
the right markers bulkhead of Com
pany A is joined to the left one of
Company B and so On to the left bulk
head of Company H. This joining of
two six foot bulkheads makes them
much stronger than if they were Sc
parated.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-09-09

At the rear of each of the target
| bulkheads is a locker where the tar
gets can be placed and sheltered from
the rain and snow when the latter is
liable to fall
Before long a walk from the central
part of the shed to a corresponding
position at the bulkheads will be built.
Just at the end of the walk will be
erected a flagpole upon which a dan
ger" flag will be hoisted whenever
there is any shooting going on.
When completed the butts will be
the finest on the islands, easily ac-
cessible and just in position where no
one can complain of the disturbing
crack of the rifle and fitted up with
all the latest improvements and de-
vices calculated to remove disturbing
causes from the rifiemen
Probably the new military butts, en-
tirely completed, with electric or other
signalling apparatus, will cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000, a small sum,
when the excellence of the place is
taken into consideration.
Sergeant Elvin who is superintend-
ing operations at the new butts very
kindly showed reporter of this paper
about the place and furnished many
points of information.
d. McKinnon is experimenting the
construction of the shed and Otto Oss
that of the bulkheads. Both are doing
their work well.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-09-09

will be completed and the eight COM
ment, n. G. H., will be confined to one
place like big happy family instead
of being separated with one company
here and another there. 1t will be
more like complete organization and
Colonel Mclean has the credit of start
ing the ball rolling as well as keeping
it moving up to a fine finish.
Reference to the accompanying cut
will at once define the exact position of
the butts with surrounding land and
water" marks and will at once show
that the position with regard to light,
wind and other disturbing causes, is
the very best that could have been
chosen.
AS soon as the scheme of having the
new range was put into shape the site
of the old battery was chosen and the
work of filling in a portion or the place
began, this giving the shooting shed
and bulkheads the position consider
ed best. About this filling was placed
a coral wall and after the whole was
properly levelled off and the founda-
tion for the bulkheads 200 yards out
to sea was completed, the construc-
ton of the shed and buIkheads began
simultaneously.
The shooting shed is the one that
was at the old association range as
has already been stated in this paper;
but in putting it up in the new posi-
ton, some alterations deemed to be
of the greatest advantage to men US
ing the butts, have been made.
In the first place the shed is 144
feet long and contains eight doors
entering eight separate places, one for
each company from A to H.
The roof is very high and conse-
quently there is a freer play of air.
This will render obvious to any one
who has had any experience with
shooting sheds that there will be a
perceptbly decreased amount of con-
cussion and that smoke will not col
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-09-09

lect such as it does in most of the
other sheds on this island
On the front part of the roof there
is an eight-foot extension which will
prove perfect balm to the eyes of any
who may use the shed.
One of the most important features
of the shed is the fact that flooring
has been done away with and plain
white sand will take the place of the
previous creaking boards.
In other sheds on this island the
flooring proves the greatest kind of
nuisance. A man stands in the stall
with his gun at his shoulder just in the
act of firing. Some one tiptoes be-
hind so as not to disturb the rifleman.
There is just the slightest move
ment of the boards which when com
municated to the rifleman produces a
very tired feeling and a movement of
the rife which is bound to have a
very disconcerting effect.
With the present sandy bottom
half dozen people might dance Jig
to the rear of the rif1eman without
producing any disconcerting effect.

A BOLD PROPOSITION.
SharpshOoters and Denver Club
May Yet Compete.

SharpshOoters and Denver Club
May Yet Compete.
| The letter published in this paper a
few days ago from the representative
of the Denver Rife Club seemed for
the time being to put an end to the
match negotiations between. that club
| and the Sharpshooters, which have
| been pending for some time. Not hav-
ing 500-yard range at present, the
Sharpshooters would not entertain a
| proposition to include that range in the
match. On the other hand, the Denver
Club could not obtain military rifles
that were serviceable for a match, and
on that account wished to use their
match rifles, allowing the Honolulu
team a. handicap that would even I'D
matters.
The result of the discussion is that a
proposition will likely go forward
by the Australia today, which is some
what unique in shooting events, the
SharpshOoters proposing to use their
military rifles against the match rifles
of the Denver Club, asking no handi-
cap allowance whatever, shooting to
be at 200 yards only.
The NERVE" of this proposition can
be appreciated when it is understood
that the term match rifle means one
equipped with globe and Vernier
sights, spirit level, ETC., and using spe-
cial ammunition, a patched bullet be-
ing allowed, and 3-pound trigger pull
whereas the military rifle" is the or
binary one in use by the National
Guard and the Sharpshooters using
factory ammunition, and with a g.
pound trigger pull.
This will be no kindergarten"
shoot, as the officers of the Sharpshoot-
ers know very well that their oppo-
nents include some of the best shots
in the Rocky Mountain country. Tol
win under these conditions would be
glory, sure enough.

Lecture and Demonstration Be-
fore Prominent People.
NOTHING KNOWN OF NEW FORCE.
Outline OF Discovery Of X-Ray"- ExpIana-
tion OF Apparatus Used In Generation.
Many Kinds of Tubes In USe-Demonstra-
tion Showing Bones of the Fingers. Etc

| Some seventy-five invited guests
gathered in the lecture room of Pauahi
Hall on the Punahou College grounds
last evening for the purpose of listen
ing to lecture and demonstration on
the "X-Ray'' by DR.. Lauschner, acting
surgeon aboard the Australia. DIR.
Lauschner being a graduate of the
Berlin and Heidelberg universities and
a pupil of a number of the leading
scientific men of Germany coupled with
the fact of the gentlman's reputation
as a lecturer, called out nearly all of
those who had been invited
Before the lecture those who came
in were shown plates of hands, legs and
arms with the bones visible. One of
these was the beautifully shaped
hands of a lady with an engagement
ring upon it. This caused more than
one question to be asked during the
evening. All the plates were made
by DR.. Lauschner.
President Hosmer introduced the Iec-
and DR.. Lauschner proceeded with his
talk and demonstrations.
The Roentgen or "X-Ray'' had
created one of the greatest sensations
ever made by discoveries In the realm
of science.
DR.. Lauschner dwelt upon the i'm
portance of demonstration in lectur-
ing on such topics as the one under
discussion. He then explained the
apparatus for photographing by means
of the "X-Ray," saying that each one
of the parts was nothing new but ,on
the contrary, something that had been
employed before in obtaining other re-
suits. There was first of all the all
important current. Then there was
the induction coil and last but not
least, the Crooks tubes. The last had
been used by Prof. Crooks for a num-
ber of years, were taken up by Lenhart
and lastly, were employed by Roentgen
himself
The discovery of the "X-Ray" was
not merely accidental. Roentgen had
experimental on the nature of the
ray obtained from the cathode termi-
nal for some time. Last year while
with a piece of paper
covered with a double salt he discov-
cred what he found to be new force
At that time he thought that since the
force came from the cathode terminal
it must be some modification of the
ray but he found he was mis-
taken. In the "X-Ray" the X repre-
sents totally unknown quantity. No
one knows what it is No one knows
anything of the nature of the ray
something is known of some
of it's products and effects. 1t will be
some time before any one finds out
what the rays are.
Scientists have hesitated in making
assertions as to what the rays may be
because if they do they will have to
overthrow accepted theories that have
been in existence for many years.
DR.. Lauschner then told of the great
of tubes that had been made
since the ''X-Ray" discovery. The one
used by him was of English make and
was standard The connection of one
of the terminals to the mirror of alu-
minium and the concentration of the
rays at a point just before the platinum

THAT ROOF. 3"

Iu the Advertiser this morning,
some peculiar views of the duties
and responsibilities of public
journalists are enunciated. This
is in connection with Mr..
Peter Highs criticism of the
construction of the roof of the
Opera House and supports Of the
gallery. Those criticisms had
been noised abroad prior to the
publication of the letter, and were
known to the resident pro-
prietor of the Opera House.
As result alterations have been
made in the construction, on the
lines declared necessary by Mr..
High. To return to the matter
OF the rumors of unsafety-
whether they originated with Mr..
High or not is beside the
questionable probability is that,
without newspaper publication,
they would have spread to the ex-
tent Of n serious alarm before the
openinE of the building. BY
taking no chances on the
question of the competency of the
critic, the matter was made public
property as it should have been.
The consequence is that it is
now given out to the community
on the authority of eight men
p ointment as builders, engineers
and architects, that the roof and
gallery of the Opera House are
now perfectly safe. Mr.. High else
whore answers for himself, as to
his reasons for deferring the criti-
cism In view OF all the facts
herein published, the public
may patrouise the Opera House
without any misgiviugs born of
vague rumors, which would not
be The case if the BULLETIN
had rejected the outspoken COM
muuication of responsible citi-
zen over his own signature.

self possession, expression and,
last of all, physical recreation,
which is for a large majority of
us the most important of the
three divisions. When we come
to the gymnasium, our main need
is recreation. We are mentally
exhausted, maybe physically.
For such of us who need to throw
off our business, and laugh, and
be stirred up, we will find the
gymnasium games adapted to us
and of great advantage.
Men, let us all appreciate this
great public benefactor to man
that is in our midst. Let US put
our bodies in the vigorous condi-
ton God intended us to enjoy.
Let us build them up for our
children's sake, that they may be
endowed with strong, healthy
bodies to fight the battles in this
world with. They will n 3ed all
the strength we can give them. L

BO for You.

Monday evening at 7:45 the
Glasses of the Y. M. G. A. will be
opened with the first class Of the
season for men. This class will
moot also on Thursday evening at
the same hour. The class for
Juniors will be opened at $3.50
p. 10. Thursday, Nov. II. They
will be under the direction of Mr..
ID. W. Corbett, Mr.. S. johnson
and Mr.. ID. Koii. These gentle
men will conduct the work until
the arrival of our physical direct
or from the States.
Now that our beautifully equip
ped gymnasium is to be in full
swing again, we will expect to see
all our members come and enjoy
the manly strength giving, body
building, that we are prepared to
give them. You need it, it will
fill out your flat chest, round your
limbs and body and give you
sinew5 like steel, in fact it will
give you the manly form that God
has endowed man with by nature.
The general aim OF this depart
ment of the Y. NJ. G. A. work is
physical health, physical educa-
ton and physical recreation. We
know that physical health has to
do with intellectual aud spiritual
health. Under this head are ny
gieric and curative gymnastics.
1t is an unquestionable fact today
among intelligent people, that
gymnastics are useful and helpful
in curing or alternating a great
mauy diseases. The sedentary
HABITS OF city classes render sys-
tematic exercise necessary. Young
Iuon need to start right in the sys

make them vigorous and keep
them so.
Physical education Is TO pre-
pare and fit the body for any call
ing or business, or for activity or
usefulness in life. The aim of
physical education is to fit the body
to obey the dictates of the mind,
quickly, accurately and thorough
ly, at the same time the mind is
receiving a training that helps it
to act with more efficiency. The
qualities that physical education
give are as follows agility, en-
durance, grace, muscular strength,

The holidays are approach
ing at the rate of a day every
twenty-four hours; and this is
the month when children fix
their attention on literature in
which Santa Claus takes q
leading part, and wives and
daughters allow theirs to
dwell on the old gentleman's
purse. An old lady was once
asked the age when girls gave
up playing with dolls and the
answer came back, "When
they have children of their
own So it is about Santa
Claus; children give him up
as the mythical when they are
old enough to realize o flesh
and blood Santa Claus in their
father. Iflt happens to be a
girl she will cling to the old
gentleman until she happens
to win a Santa Claus who
will be her individual property.
1t is with these flesh and
blood Santa Clauses that we
wish to whisper. On the
Australia which arrived last
week, there were several large
cases of solid silver ware for
us. In turn we will dispose
of it to Santa Claus. We will
