But instead of growing better their
mutual fence built up ten feet high, she
had the branches of the Sweeting tree
Topped off where they interfered with
the fence, and Christine's seat thrown
down to the ground so roughly that it
was broken. She said she had let peo-
pie impose upon her all her life. and she
wasn't going to any more
Papa Bell, who vas an easy man and
absorbed in his business, said he sup
posed that so many children and squeak
ing things did make them troublesome
neighbors; but he thought they should
nave to demonstrate with Miss Pigeon
about the fence, because it took away so
much o theirsunshine. Christine begged
him 10 wait; she always would believe
that people were going to be better, and
she knew there must be something good
about Miss Pigeon because she looked
like her brother-"only the twist
seemed to be in her mind, poor thing!"
1t was November when Christine's
seat was thrown out of the tree. so she
couldnothave used it any more that sea-
sonanyway; and when anyone asked her
how she was going TO do without it in
the spring. she always answered.: Per
haps Miss Kitty will be good by that
time" But that transformation didn't
seem in the least likely to anyone else.
She never forgot that Mr.. Pigeon had
said she was Kitty, though how she
could ever be Kitty TO anybody was more
than the other young Bells could under
stand.
Christine would bow to her. too. and
smile. shyly, although Miss Pigeon only
scowled dreadfully in response. Far
more difficult TO forgive than their own
Wrongs was the injury she had inflicted
upon her brother. He wrote to them
doleful letters which showed plainly
how homesick he was for the good air
and the goodfellowship Of Pippin Hill.

a MACHINE
L the New Roentgen Ray Apparatus In
Pittsburgh

The largest Roentgen ray apparatus
IN tie world has just beea completed
by Prof. Reginald A Fessenden, of the
Western university, for the Academy Of
Science and Art The big machine has
been over five months in construction
II contains every modern device, many
new discoveries and is made portable
and economical in operation 1t has
been designed to aid local surgeons,
and with its s important discoveries
ere expected 10 be made.
The machine Is incloeed in a neat oak
cabinet four feet high and two feet
wide. and weighs but IFS pounds
Handles are provided on either side to
carry il. The most importantfeaturei Is
the coil which rests nea the base, be
tween the legs Of the cabinet. This il
composed of Il coils. and is wound
with so miles of small wire It is ar
ranged TO give a spark over 20 inches
long. while the capacity Of the machine
reaches 30 inches
The current is received from two
portable storage batteries. the ordinary
direct or the alternating currents. The
main circuit is broken by 4 revolving
contact breaker which makes about 200
breaks a second. This is important
when ii is known that the sparks are
produced when the current on the large
wire is broken. The contact breaker IS
immersed in ordinary petroleum and is
adjacent 20 a magnet both of which
put out any light produced in the break
er. This Is encased in a small box on
the top of the cabinet. and is driven by
q small one-half horsepower motor
placed beside il. The ~suddennesS of the
breaking of the sparks is regulated by
an adjustable condenser, also on the
cabinet top. 1t Is simply an alienation
of tin foil sheets and parafin paper. 1t
arrests sparks and makes the break
more sudden.
Fastened 10 the side of the cabinet Is
On adjustable arm for holding the
Roentren ray tube. This is so con-
structed with several elbows thatitcan
be placed in any position. If necessary
II can be placed beneath the bed upon
which the patent lies and the photo
graph taken without moving or dis
turbing the sick one.
The coil is the most powerful erer
successfully made. 4 photograph can
be taken through the thickest part OF
the body in IS minutes, and the surgeon
can easily see through every part OF
the body with the fuoroscope-Pitts-
burch DiSpatch.

DRINK WATER PLENTIFULLY.
For Nervous Diseases 1t Is Especially
Good.

Good.
The general tendency of people is
d o TO drink water enough. Pure water
itself cannot be unwholesome, unless
il is taken al toe low a temperature,
when food is eaten. The reason for
this is that digestion stops until the
cold water in the system is brought
up TO the proper temperature
We have proof that an insufficient
quantity of drinking water is a frequent
source of disease. George Henry Fox,
NJ. D.. professor of diseases Of the skin
in the New York College Of Physicians
and Surgeons. says in a recent article
On this subject: 1t is quite certain
that few people drink too much water
and l feel sure that many unpleasant
feelings and symptoms of actual dis
ease would actually disappear if the
sufferers appreciated the value OF this
best and cheapest of all remedies (pure
water)." DR.. Charles L. Dana, professor
of nervous diseases in the New York
POSTGRADUATE Medical school. in an
article on diet in nervous diseases, says:
Water should be drunk between meals
or before meals and a moderate amount
at meals. At least three pints or about
six tumblerfuls, should be taken daily.
American n~eurotics do not drink water
enough. They have half dessicated
nerves and deSSication increases nerv-

was such a tried and truSty friend. and,
if he was 60, such 4 congenial compan-
ion. He was always ready to go fishing
or coasting with the boys, or to take
the girls to drive; although he was a
bachelor and lived alone, and had a
double carriage and the largest sleigh
on Pippin Hill-because he had so
large Il heart, Peggy said. He knew as
much about the wild things in the woods
as The Hunters Own Book" and on
a rainy day or when n had the mumps
or the measles he would tell stories
by the doZen-storieS that were worth
telling. too. for he had been round the
world and home again." and knew all
there was to know about cannibalS and
buccaneers and wild men, and all such
distinguished and interesting people.
1t happened that the only houses on
the tip-top of Pippin Hill were the Bel
fry Qsuppose the Bells house may have
received that name because Papa Bell
always spoke ofhis children as his small
fry;" anyway, that is what everyone
in B~loomsboro' called it) and the old
Pigeon house, which had belonged to
this Mr.. Pigeons grandfather. The
houses backed up to each other, and
there was a mutual backyard fence,
so, of course, il was very desirable that
the neighbors should be friendly and
congenial; more than this, there was
a mutual apple tree. The gnarled old
"high-top sweeting" was directly on
the boundary line between the two es-
tates, and the mutual fence had been
cut in two to make space for it. Its
branches were low and spreading, in
spite of its high top, and they spread
very impartially over the Bells mooth
lawn and over Mr.. Pigeons orchard,
and dropped their delicious fruit-early,
the first sweet apples that there were
almost as evenly as if it were measured
on each of their wners' land. The
only difference was that the August
sunshine lay longer upon Mr.. PigeoniS
side. so the first red and yellow, mellow
and juicy apples dropped upon his or
chard grassland he tossed them up
to Christine in her seat in the low
crotch of the tree. the seat that he had
made for her.
1t was Christine who thought the
most of Mr.. Pigeon and he of her, be-
IL they both had a twist, Christine
said. She would always speak1of he-
trouble cheerfully, even jokinglg. You
would scarcely have thought that she
minded it at all; it was a spinal weak
ness which had bowed her shoulders and
twisted her head to one sife- The
others didn't mind much when Chris
tine was left out of things; they were
a rough, merry set, but Nj Pigeon
had always remembered h3r. His
twist was in one of his legs; pc had to
wear an uncomfortable iron Poot, and
walked with a queer, Sideways mo-
ton.
When Becky, who was u n was
called the Bloomsboro' Budget, because
she carried all the newF came home
with the dreadful intellle ence that Mr..
Pigeon was going to PoTe away, no
one would believe Il.

oath, Minister Cooper telephoned to
the Foreign Office to ask President
Dole to reappoint them. AS matters
stood there was no quorum. Taking ii
for granted that the Commissioners
would be reappointed, the meeting be-
gan.
President Cooper was of the opinion
that the meetings of the Commission
ers should be held once every fortnight
during the hot weather. There was
no murmur of complaint
Inspector Townsend recommended
some changes in the text books, now
being used in the schools, indicating
reasons for his recommendations
Just at this point the telephone rang
for President Cooper, who returned in
moment, saying that he was happy
to announce the reappointment by the
President of Mrs. Jordan and Mr.. Won
Holt for term of three years
Mr. Bowen moved to ratify the
changes made by the Inspector and to
grant him power to arrange what
changes he might see fit to make in the
future. Carried
The petition from the Honolulu
teachers to retain Mr.. J. F. Scott as
Deputy Inspector of Schools was again
presented. President Cooper said that
the Commissioners felt just as kindly
toward Mr.. Scott as they. There was
no conflict of opinion between the de-
partment and the teachers on this
point.
It was moved and carried that the
petition be answered and that the Com
missioners express therein their ut
most confidence in the integrity of Mr..
Scott, at the same time expressing the
fact that no sufficient reason for a
change in the action of the Commits
sioners could be found.
The matter of application for re-
newal of certificates by some of the
teachers was discussed Mr.. Won Holt
moved that the teachers who have
applied for a renewal of certificates, be
notified that all under first-class and
above so per cent, shall have their
certificates extended until the first reg

would recomend no exchange in school
lots at Koloa, Kauai, he having learned
that the lot now being occupied for
school purposes did not belong to the
Government.
The designations of Miss Emma
Smith, of Kauai, and David Taylor, of
Maui, were accepted.
The Commissioners then considered
certain matters in regard to the de-
partment and adjourned at about 5

MR.. SALMON TALKS.

tees and Offers Suggestions.

Meets With Y. NJ. G.. A. Commit
tees and Offers Suggestions.
There were 20 members of the vari-
GUS committees of the Y. NJ. G. A. in
the hall last night, called together to
listen to remarks by Mr.. Salmon on
various points in connection with as
ISOLATION work.
Asked in regard to membership in
the Y. NJ. c. A., Mr.. Salmon answered
that he believed the active members
should be members of some evangelical
church.
There should be no conflict between
the Y NJ. G. A and Christian Endeavor
Association, and if everything were to
be arranged properly, there need be no
trouble whatever.
Billiards had been tried in the social
life of the association, but without
much success. Lunch rooms, and es-
pecially in branches of the Railroad Y.
M. c. A, had met with great success.
The educational department of the
Y NJ c. A had made the greatest
strides of any of the other depart
ments. Business men were putting
most of their money into this branch.
Men of all classes were learning every
branch of study, much to their advan-
tage. Educational work should go
hand in hand with the work of the BIZ
BILE classes.
In speaking of this, Mr. Salmon re-
ferred to the Bridgeport association,
where at p. m. business classes were
held in the gymnasium; at 6 p. m. a
lunch was served by the ladies, and at
p. m. the Bible classes were held.
The Bible school should be graded
with the different courses for each class
of men, in progression
The associate members should be al
lowed to discuss, but not vote in as
ISOLATION meetings.
Mr.. Salmon dwelt on various mode:
of interesting men in the work of the
association.
| The business of the association
should be in the hands of the BOARD
of Directors. This view of Mr.. Sail
mon is in direct line with an amend.
ment to the constitution of the Ho-
nolulu Y. M c. A, which is now un.
der discussion, and which will be act
ed upon next Monday night.
The club idea in association work
was emphasized.
After all discussion and suggestions
were over light refreshments were
served, and a delightful time socially
was spent.

This is denied by Superintendent
Brown. He states that it is done at
the request of several property-own-
ers, including Paul Neumann and F.
M. Swanzy; that the petition has been
in his Office for four years, and it is
only now through the kindness in Mr.
Rowell in letting him have 1000 feet
of pipe that he is able to grant the
request. While there are only two or
three residences on the line, other
property owners along the line require
the water for irrigation.
The pipe will not be extended from

erty at present, or at least until more

planned remedy for them. When the
Lemon property was divided up and
strip on the Waikiki road, extending
back 500 feet on the bank of the
stream, which winds through the park.
His property extends back opposite the
band stand, and on a portion of this
property Mr. Cunha will have erected,
from plans drawn by Ripley & Dickey,
an elegant structure especially adapted
for the entertainment of people who
ride or pedal out to the park.
The plans provide for main build
ing 60x60, carriage shed 25x60 and nu-
merous bath cottages handsomely fin
ished. The latter buildings will face
Makee Island. The main building will
have a 10-foot veranda all the way
round, and at the terminus of the car
track this will project so that persons
will have shelter from the car to the
house The main room of the build
ing will be 30x30 and will be used as
a central refreshment room, where ice
cream and soda-water will be served,
or, if ordered, special and dainty sup
pers. This room will be fitted with
great care, and with a view to having
an atmosphere of richness prevail.
Only two private or semi-private din
ing rooms will be built They will be
separated from the main rooms by
rich portierres; no doors will be hung.
The entire building, including veran-
da, will be lighted by powerful mean
descent lights In other parts of the
house there will be toilet rooms for la
dies and others for gentlemen. These
will be fitted with the most modern
conveniences, marble wash-stands,
enameled tubs, mirrors, etc.
Steps will be built, so that patrons of
the place may indulge in sea bathing.
Special care will be given to the pleas

doliers and bicycle water boats will be
launched in the stream on the Makee

half-dozen "Kona Canaries" will be
brought down, and children may have
an opportunity to take rides through
