KoEBELE'S AIDS.
The Mynahs and sparrows are Do
ing Yeoman's Service.

A very pleasant five minutes was
passed with Professor Koebele this
morning ia conversing about insects
pests and their enemies. 1t was
rather interesting to learn that the
despised Mynahs and Sparrows are
more valuable than merely to be
made into fragrant and tempting
Greek Ola Podrida. They destroy
an immense number OF insects, aud
the Professor speaks with pride as
to the rapidity with while they
cleaned out an invading army OF
worms in a country district to which
they Hocked by the hundreds when
they scented their prey. Mr.. Koe-
belle does not think it advisable to
import either Laysan Islands
fnches or swallows as which they
would destroy the deleterious in
sects they would also annihilate the
beneficial ones such as the lady
birds and their Larvae. The safest
course to adopt is to import and
cultivate the pests and fungus ini-
mical to insect life and let the little
cannibals do the destructive work.
The toads are regarded as being the
most valuable allies of Hawaii, espe-
cially in getting rid of the terror
izing Japanese rose beetle, as they
consume them by the thousands
The white cabbage butterfly that
has been introduced this season
from California will do immense
damage to the vegetable gardens
and such flowers as the Marigold,
unless they, their eggs, catterpillars
and chrysalides are promptly ex.
terminated. If every individual
would simply take the trouble to
kill every caterpillar he met with,
he would be doing as much service
to an extent as the man who plants
a valuable seed. With time aud
patience Hawaii will be as free from
blights and pests as the most favor.

A Roof Falls.

The corrugated awning Of the
building on the corner OF King aud
Konia streets came down with a
crash at noon to-day, fortunately
doing little damage.
The awning was put in himsy
style nearly incredible, aud the
wreck shows that the heavy awning
was attached to the main structure
only by a few ordinary nails. The
side walk, upon which the roof fell
is frequenteN by numerous people,
and it is miracle that no serious
disasters are recorded. China
man was slightly cut by the falling
roof, but no other accident has been
reported. The entrances to the
Chinese fruit store and to the office
OF the Chinese Chronicle, located in
the building were blockaded The
whole building should have the
immediate attention OF the anthor,
tiles, before another accident occurs

Burning Coal.

The fire in the U. S. coal pile as
sumed such dimensions yesterday,
that it was necessary TO call upon
the Fire Department for help. This
morning the engines from Co.'S l
and 2 we're stationed near the coal
pile, pouring water into the burning
mass of coal. If the U. S. authori-
ties desire to save some of the coal
piled against all rules and regula-
tions, they should engage the SER
vices OF every dray in town and re-
move the coal. The use of half a
dozen wheelbarrows does not fiji the
billet in this instance.

Retrospective Enactments.

The necessary use Of the words
Retrospective" and retroactive" by
counsel in the arguments of the
Chinese habeds corpus cases yester-
day appears to have worried few
minds. In the Passing Hour"
Qong may it wave DER the coolie
slave) of the Matrimonial Alliance
organ it is said:
"In argument on the Chinese
hdbeds corpus matter the attorneys
we're reckless in defiance OF distinc-
ton on the words retrospective and
retroactive"
A correspondent, who, we believe,
is a member of the American Bar,
sends to us this morning the follow.
ing squib for Mr.. Silliman's benefit:
To one of the uninitiated the flow
Of English, intermingled with Latin,
during the arguments in the Chi
nese cases yesterday, was as clear
and pellucid, as mountain stream.
But, OIL how shocking to the ear OF
the old legal "off- wheeler" Where,
Mr.. Silliman, do you get your ire
Prospective" laws, and what was
your yelled meaning when you said
that the U. S. Constitution express
ly forbade the making of any law
"er poste de facto" in its operation9
Still it was charmingly said: "De
Nihilo Mill Fit"
Now, these are the definitions
given of these debateable words in
Goodrich and Porter's revision edi-
ton of Noah Webster's dictionary:
RETRoAoTIvE.-Fitted or designed
to retroact; operating by returned
action; affecting what is past; retro
spectiUe.
Retroactive Iaw or statute, one which
operates to make criminal or punish
able, or in any way expressly to af-
feet, acts done prior to the passage
OF the law.
RETROSPECTIVE -Haviug reference
to what is past; affecting things
past. "a scruple about inhictiDg
death by a retrospective enactment"
as used by Lord Macaulay.
Bouvier's Law Dictionary says,
inter ala:
"This word is usually applied to
those acts Of the legislature which
are made to operate upon some sub.
iect, contract or crime which existed
before the passage OF the acts; and
they are therefore called retrospective
laws. These laws are generally I'M
Just, and are to certain extent 'or-
hidden by that article in the Consti-
tuition OF the United States which
prohibits the passage of e1 post tactc
laws or laws impairing contracts
(The word retroactive is not given
in Bouvier,)
An ca post tdcto law is a statute,
says Bowler, which would render
an act punishable when it was com
mitted. By the Constitution OF the
United States Congress is forbidden
to pass ca post facto laws Such
law is void as to those cases in
which, If given effect, it would be ca
post .facto; but so far only.
In cases arising under it, it may
have effect; for as rule for the
future it is not e1 post .facto,
There is a distinction between ca
post facto and retroactive laws; every
ca post facto law must necessarily bt
retrospective, but every retrospective
law is not an er post facto law; the
former only are prohibited.
