KATE FIELD IN HILO
Will Stay Considerable Time in
and About Town.


Despite the trying steamer trip
of Tuesday and Wednesday, Miss
Kate Field was actively engaged
all day Tuesday in making and re
ceiving calls in the town. She left
yesterday for Puma with Miss Ly-
man and Mr.. Henry Lyman, where
she will spend some days at the
hospitable home of Rufus Lyman,
ST. During her stay in Puma she
will inspect all the prominent cot
fee plantations, and probably 90
to the volcano via Kalapana. Her
present plans are to stop at XII
lauea for some time, probably sew
eral weeks, when she will return
to HilO to spend a considerable
time in the town and district. af-
ter which she will make a tour of
the island in the interest of the

The Value
OF Good
Eye Sight.

Some things areright in my
line, and the optical business
is one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each individual case. Eyes
are tested in a scientific
manner.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimated in such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
objects well, yet are con-
stantly troubled with per
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oc-
casional blurring of the print

tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.

a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.

and these should be of the
right kind.

Roll-call by the Secretary showed
there was not quorum, and Speaker
Naone requested the Sergeant-at Arms

Representatives-You committee, to

an Act to amend Section Sc of Chapter
81 of the laws of 1892 entitled, IAN
Act to reorganiXe the Judiciary De-
partment," beg leave 60 report as fol-
lows:
THE purpose of the Act is to provide
Court when two of the Justices are alb
sent or disqualified. The law as it now
stands provides for the filling of only
one vacancy. AS cases have arisen and
may again arise where two Justices are
unable to sit, it is advisable to make the
proposed amendment. We recommend
that the bill pass.

Respectfully submitted,

Mr.. Smith objected to wording and
suggested change, which Rep. Rob
ertson said were six in one and half
dozen of another"
Rep. Richards wanted to know why
Honolulu was excepted in the bill.
Rep. Winston-The bill is introduced
for use of people outside the city, who
wish to use kerosene oil for fuel in can
ming pineapples.
Rep. Robertson gave a history of the
bill introduced by him in the House last
session, and of it's death in the Senate
at the hands of insurance men who
were afraid che oil would be used by
irresponsible persons and result disas-
trously. The bill was for the Eva
pineapple Gamers, and incidentally it
might help other and still smaller in
dustries. He thought the changes rec
commended by the committee would
overcome the objections raised by the
underwriters.
Minister Smith recommended the fol-
lowing amendment as substitute to
the one offered: "In some lawful bust
ness or industry to be designated in the
license, provided, however, that no
such license chall be granted for the
use of such oil for such purposes with
Rep. Rycroft thought the bill had a
broader meaning at the last session;
it was intended for use in stoves in pri-
vate families. 1t seems foregone con-
clusion that this is a dangerous bill.
don't think it is. A few years ago a law
was passed that all oil be tested, but
oil is burned in lamps now which tests
less than 100 degrees. In California
fbio oil 10 ovfou mead for f1ral In
stoves, and 1 believe it less dangerous
than wood stove. When person is
through cooking they turn off the light
as they do gas or electricity. Time will
overcome the objections to kerosene as
it had to rapid transit. If the bill is to
be any use in this country it should be
amended so as to use the oil in oil
stoves. 1t is not well to sell oil of this
test for lamps, and if it could be colored
there would be no danger of mistakes
being made.
Minister Smith-The trouble with
such a bill is that oil of this test and
cheapness would be used for illu1ninat-
ing purposes. When the law requir-
ing a test for kerosene oil was made
about 10000 cases of oil were rejected.
There had been many fires from the
through those fires.
Rep. Winston-Was the oil of 100 de-
grees rejected?
Minister Smith-Under that. Some
of it went to so degrees. In order to
protect citizens | think the name of the
business should be inserted in the Ii
cenSe.
Section passed as amended.
Section 2, requiring bonds of 81 900
for the strict use of the oil within the
provisions of the bill. Committee rec
commended certain changes in the re-
strictive points in the sections, pro-
viding that it shall not be used within
the limits of Honolulu. Minister Smith
moved that ANY other purpose than
that named in the license" be inserted

Section 4, providing for penalty to be
inflicted on persons using this charac-
ter of fuel without a license, passed.

ECONOMY OF SPACE.
A Great Power Generating Station which
Covers but Little Ground.

Covers but Little Ground.
Probably TO other kinds Of power
plants afford better Illustrations of the
tendency TO concentration than some of
the modern splendidly equipped electric
stations in large cities, where ground
area has closely approached the maxi
mum in value, and in which. therefore,
economic considerations have dictated
the putting Of as much generating ap-
paratus into rs little space as human
ingenuity would permit, with due re-
gard to satisfactory performance. In
some of these stations vertical engines
and boilers in large units have been
installed to the entire exclusion of hori-
zontal designs, and in others, again, the
saving in ground space thus secured has
been still further augmented by setting
engines and boilers in tiers, one above
the other, giving q ratio Of horsepower
per square foot of ground area which a
decade ago would have been thought
quite beyond the limits Of possibility.
In probably no station in the world
has this concentration been carried out
to greater degree. or to as great a one
even, as in that of the Edison Electric
Illuminating company in Duane street,
in the city Of New York. The ground
covered by this measures 200 by "a feet,
and within this area provision has been
made for nine 1850 horsepower en-
gines, two Of 1850 horsepower each
and three Of GOO horsepower, giving a
total of very nearly $1,000 horsepower.
with a corresponding boiler plant, or
only a little less than two horsepower
per square foot. 1t would seem, indeed,
as though economy in space could not
well be carried much farther.-Cassier' 8
