THs. STUDY OF BIRDS.
How Our Boys and Girls Can Pass
Many Bright Hours.

Many Bright Hours.
Who among our young readers has
ever studied the birds? We go to school
to study, but we almost always study
books only. For instance, we begin
with reading, spelling and writing,
then we take up geography, arithmetic
and grammar. Afterward some of us,
who have time, and can afford it, get
as far as geometry, physiology, Latin
and Greek. But there are other books
to study beside these-and other teach
ers, from whom we may learn; and
the best of all is the great wide open
book of nature, whose author is God.
This school is never closed, and the
teacher never takes a vacation. You
may say: 81 think this is a queer
school" But it isn't; for it is the most
common school in the world. Some OF
the studies are the sky, the clouds, the
ocean, the mountains, the woods, the
fields, the flowers and the birds. The
great study of nature is so big that we
can never hope to learn it all, but we
may learn something about a few Of
these things. The Poet Ludlow writes
OF a little girl who was asked about her

SPECIAL SESSION
Board of Health Considers
Arrival of S. S. Doric.
Five Saloon Passengers for Homo
lulu to be Allowed Ashore = Chi
csc Into Quarantine.

At a special meeting of the Board o.
Health held in the Office of the Attor-
ney General at 10 a m. yesterday, in
regard to the arrival of the S. S. Doric
there were present the following;
President Smith, Drs Wood and Day
and Messrs. T. F. Lansing and c. A
Brown, together with Mr.. E. Suhr, rep
resentatiye of H. Hackfeld & Co., the
agents for the o. & o. S. S. Co.
President Smith stated that the
steerage passengers of the Doric hap
1 pened to be all Chinese, that the cpl
| demic in Yokohama was diminishing,
and that the vessel had shown a clean
/ bill OF health. He recommended that
] the cabin passengers of the Doric be al
I lowed ashore, and that the steerage
passengers be placed in quarantine at
the usual place.
DIR. Day, port physician, reported As
Japanese for San Francisco in the
steerage, SOL Chinese for Honolulu, and
out of the "A saloon passengers, for
Honolulu. The Doric, ten days from
Yokohama, had 10 report % new cases
and IL deaths, with the epidemic de-
creasing rapidly in that place.
President Smith recommended that
the 5 saloon passengers for this port
be allowed TO come ashore with the
understanding that they report daily
to the port physician for examination
until the completion of the regular
quarantine period; also that the cloth
ing be disinfected.
DR.. Wood was in favor of having the
five saloon passengers report to DR.
Day daily, and recommended that fail
ure on their part TO do so result in
their being sent to the quarantine sta
ton. In regard to the through passen-
gers in the saloon, he did not consider
1t necessary for them to land. OF course
it would be great pleasure to them
if such proceeding should be allowed,
but the safest course in the matter he
believed to be in keeping them on
board.
Mr.. Lansing agreed with DR.. Wood
in regard to the five saloon passengers.
Their clothing and effects should be
thoroughly fumigated.
The following motion was then made
and carried:
That the five saloon passengers for
Honolulu, now on the Doric, be exam
ined by the port physician, and in case
he finds no symptoms of any contagious
diseases among them, they be allowed
to land, upon condition that they re-
main in Honolulu for the next eight
days and report daily to DR.. Day at
his office at 9 a. m. Their baggage and
effects to be thoroughly disinfected
Any breach of the strict observance Of
this order to make such person liable
to be sent to the quarantine station
forthwith
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the quarantine regulations be strictly
enforced, as made, this meaning the
keeping aboard ship of the officers and
saloon passengers of the stea-
mer Doric.
Meeting adjourned.

at West Hartlepool and its sister town.
The steamships there owned were only

HELENE TROUBLES
Crew Appear in Court for
Refusing Duty.
Judge De La Vergne Finds Natives
Guilty Solomon Opu Only One
Who Refuses to Return.
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

Nineteen natives, constituting the
crew of the Wilder Steamship Com
pany's new boat Helene, are now in
Jail awaiting trial for refusing duty
which they had sworn, under contract,
to do, and Captain Fitzgerald has been
again temporarily released from the
Office of master of the steamer, pend
ing the trial above mentioned.
On the last trip of the Helene TO Ha-
wall Captain Freeman was put in com
mand, owing to the refusal Of the ma
tive sailors to go to sea under Captain
Fitzgerald. Upon returning to port,
sugar was discharged and everything
gotten ready TO go to sea again yester-
day.
On Tuesday it was given out that
Captain Fitzgerald would return to the
command of the Helene. The natives
began to get stubborn at once, and
again refused duty, saying they prefer
red to go to Jail rather than serve IN
der Fitzgerald, even though they had
made contracts.
At o'clock yesterday morning the
sailors failed TO turn up, and Joe Fern,
who holds the Office of shipping mas
ter for the Wilder Steamship Company
in place of Captain Andrews, resigned,
went ABOUND TO see what the matter
was The men refused duty again, and

appeared before Captain King. Even

went through the settlement that her

any Japanese man-of-war be sent to
