ON A TIGHT ROPE
WITH A MADMAN.

No one who saw the tawdry finery
of his tinsel trappings and the cheap
viatoria as single handed and alone he
prepared the paraphernalia for his
appointments ofthe famous Signor Sal
tight-rope performance which had
brought him his glory would have ever
imagined that there was time or space
in his busy life for romance. The
signor was peripatetic perambulator
Of the rope; and his field Of perform
anee lay in country towns, where it
was his wont to stretch his narrow
pathway across a street from roof to roof
of houses whose owners were willing
TO extend that privilege to him in ex-
change for tickets to "the Great and
Only Megatherian Concert" which
followed the outdoor exhibition. Yet
he had a romance, and there were in it
those elements which one greater than
the Signor Salviatoria might easily
have erystallized into a melodrama
that would have stirred the applause Of
a thousand galleries.

The average duration of the glass eye

kAMEHAMEAA PROBLEMS
SOCIAL QUESTIONS THE FACULTY
ARE CONSIDERING.
The Best Interests of the Pupils in
Relation to Expensive Tastes are
Discussed.

"Handicraft," published in the in
terest of Kamehameha school in its
last issue has an article of some con-
siderable length on the subject of eN-
pensive tastes among its pupils. The
following extract will show how i'm
portant the subject is considered by
the friends of the school:
The growing use of luNuries by the
bows and girls of the Kamehameha
schools has often called out anxious
remarks by the faculties, and from
time to time suggestions have arisen
to forbid certain of the most eNpen-
sive indulgences. The bicycle craze
is a striking case: some have held
that bicycles so thoroughly distract
the boys minds and arouse discon-
tent that they should be forbidden.
\ still more recent passion has been
that of photography. which is not so
absorbing, but is so expensive as to
tempt to improper sacrifices.
The qualified laissez-faire policy
prevailing here seemed. on compare
son. in striking contrast with the re-
strictions existing in many English
schools. There. and in some Amer-
can schools. not only is the amount OF
spending money limited so that often
no money can be spent by the pupils
except what they earn on the grounds,
but also the lavish adornment of the
rooms and the possession of costly
TOYS. is entirely forbidden, with the
aim of developing strength, self deni-
al and hardihood. Gradually. these
thoughts grouped themselves togeth-
er into the general question. can the
Kamehameha faculties eXpediently
restrict expenditures and If so would
it be beneficial to do so.
To consider this question the facul-
ties of the three schools met on Tues
day. April 18th, and again on Tuesday
April Goth for joint debate on the
question. "Resolved. that Kamehame-
ha restrict the bows and girls of the
school in their adornment of person
or room. in their possession of person
al articles. instruments or tOvS. and
that restrictions be made against the
spending of mo~ev further than those
already enforced
For this discussion. the teachers
were asked to study the evidences of
increase in extensive tastes, to ask
themselves whether they were re-
sponsiba to parents and patrons for
the present conditions in that regard:
and to consider whether It We're DOS
sible or desirable to quell these lux
uriouS tendencies.

SPIRALS IN NATURE.

Spirals growth is one of the mystic
ries yet to be worked out by natural
lists. In describing some of the puz-
zling things about it to an English
medical society, Mr.. George Wherry
mentioned the shells of the whelli,
which in the fossil form are usually
left handed but in the present gener.
alton are always right handed Plant
spirals offer like perpleNities. The
hop and honeysuckle take the form
of left handed screw, while the ma
jority of twining vines follow the
course of the right handed screw
Some spirals however are less mysti,
flying. The left horn of the koodoo
for example, is right handed spiral
and it is easy to see that these twists
give the horns a wedge-like action in
forcing back the bushes through
which the animal runs.

SOME settlement of boundaries should
 be made between the white residents of the Tuba City district and the In- dians, who insist on their claims in that vicinity. The present indefinite limits furnish grounds for no small contention and annoyance which may result ser iously at any time.

THE snow fall is opportune.

THE snow fall is opportune. The snows are the great conservers of pros perity, not only for the people of the mountain plateau, but those of the southern valleys as we'll. They are better than rains even. for We have so many precipitous hill sides that the water which falls in rain drains off inn mediately. The snows, however, blanket over the ground and by melt ing gradually practically carry their moisture two weeks or month later into the season.

THE MARSHALSHlP.

Should the town council dispense with the office of marshal?
 Such a proposition has been much de- bated on the street. although it is to be
The Coconino sun., 1898-03-19

hoped that no one has been serious about it.
 The proposition was either to reduce the compensation to so low a figure that no competent person could be induced to serve, or dispense with the office al- together, and pay 6 nominal salary to some constable or deputy sheriff, and have such officer serve in the stead of the marshal.
 This would certainly be loose way of doing things, for both of those off cers owe first duty to the county, and are often called away for long periods. During their absence we are left to presume that affairs would take care Of themselves.
 The justification urged, of course, is economy. If any of those pretending to favor the change advocated will take time to look into the matter, however. they can convince themselves that the town administration is cheaper and more satisfactory than would be possible or practicable under the change.
 The town has had good order under corporate management. and it cannot make better investment than in the continuance of such condition of things. Because good order has been enforced is probably the reason that change is desired by many who are ad- vocating it.
