SENATE.
One Hundred-eighth Day, June p

One Hundred-eighth Day, June p.
A two hours session was devoted
mainly to considering items in the
appropriation bill sent up from the
House.
The Special Committee having the
bill repeating the poll tax in consider
alton reported adversely. The COM
mittee expressed sympathy with the
object of the bill but they were op-
posed to it and recommended that it
be tabled. The present income from
this source is in the neighborhood of
S47 ,OOO The committee stated that
the present condition of the finances
of the country could not warrant a
giving up of this revenue.
The House amendments to the ap-
preparation bill for current accounts
were taken up. The Senate did not
concur in the item of $4,000 for band
for Hilo. The House increased the
appropriation for the payment of in
terest on loans $4,000. The Senate
did not concur. Minister Damon stated
that the Executive had not increased
its amounts in the appropriation bill
The House anticipated increases in the
bill and an increase in the amount of
the loan for this reason. The Senate
failed to concur in the amount of
$726.26 for claim of assistant appraiser
Zerbe. The three items carrying a sub
sidy of $4,000 for steamers between
the Islands for mail service failed of
passage as did also the item for water
works Nawiliwili. Objection was made
to the items for new fire apparatus for
the plains Minister Cooper stated
that the department intended moving
station l to the plains with the present
appropriation. The Senate did not
concur. Other items in which the
Senate did not concur were those in
the surplus loan bill which was killed
in the House. The items were in
serted in the bill under consideration.
At II o'clock, while the bill was
still being voted on the Senate adj
journed.

bill. Finally the first section passed
with an amendment by the Attorney
General. This was the only amend
ment out of about eight that passed.
Under suspension of rules, Rep. Loe-
bernstein read the following concur
rent resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the House of Representative and
Senate of the Republic of Hawaii that
more retail liquor licenses may be
granted in the District of Honolulu
Island of Oahu and the Town of Hilo,
Island Of Hawaii.
81. L. McCANDLESS,
Rep. 9Th District.
"a. B. LOEBENSTEIN,
''Rep LIST District"
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Health and Education.
Rep. Richards made motion to lay
this on the table but it did not, of
course, carry.
Immediately after the introduction
of the above resolution, Rep. McCand-
less moved to strike out the first sec
ton of the bill. He had thought over
the matter and come to the conclusion
the Attorney-G General was right. Rep.
Richards went further and moved for
the indefinite postponement of the bill.
Neither of these motions prevailed.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House was in session until 9:15
p. M, during which time the follow
ing business was accomplished:
Senate Bill %, relating to licenses
to sell light wines and liquors, brought
up for consideration. Motion for re-
consideration of the vote on the
amendment made by the Attorney
General carried. Bill was then de-
ferred until today.

HOUSE.

The House took up the considera-
ton of Senate Bill 2S, relating to IL
censes to sell light wines and beers.
Acknowledgement Smith contended
for the granting of three licenses in
each district. Rep. Achi wanted "any
number" allowed. This would stop the
Illicit selling to a great extent. Rep.
Pogue was of the same opinion. Near

The remainder of the bill was then
read and unanimous vote for passage

Just then the Speaker asked to be
excused for the remainder of the day.
This was granted and Vice-Speaker
Kaai was called to the chair.
Rep. Pogue reported for the Finance

in part as follows:

to check the illicit sale of liquors. 1t is
well known fact that at the present

is curious fact that intense heat and
intense cold produce fractures in various
substances. In the most extreme cold
weather 1t is not uncommon, especially II
the cold has come on suddenly, to find
trees that are split from the ground to

The perfection to which micrometical
mechanisms and the results of their in
dustrial application are now brought Is
illustrated in a remarkable degree in the
production of certain descriptions of WOW
en- wire gauze and cloth, some of these be-
ing made with meshes SO nfintesimal as
to number 10000 of the latter to a single
square inch. The more delicate classes of
wire-those which stand related to scien-
tific instruments-are of such fineness as
to render their measurement matter of
difficulty: this task. however, has been
made practicable. and platinum wire has
been drawn one seven-thousandth of an
inch. and to even greater finenese Alum
mum wire, too. has been drawn as fine as
0,500 yards to the ounce, size too fine to
be measured practically by any gauge or
instrument. Iron has also been so attenu-
ated that over two and a half miles in
length weighed only one ounce; but a still
more remarkable instance of this class of
mechanical manipulation is the drawing of
"a grains of gold on silver wire to l2O
miles.

According to recent experiments by Prof

boratory of Harvard university, the X-ray
burn, which has been observed by many

What he calls the Sense of return" in
pigeons and other animals is regarded by
NJ. Pierre BONNER in the light of the latest
Investigations, as not due to a sixth sense
excited by the earths magnetism, but as
an extraordinary development of the men,
ory of direction or of the power of keeping
bearings. Whatever it may be, this sense
is one of the nine functions of the inner
ear. This sense exists in man. but it has
fallen into disuse, and it is in those species
dependent upon the instinct for existence
thaa it has attained great power.
The Russian province of Kursk proves
to be one of the most remarkable areas Of
magnetic disturbance yet known. NJ.
MoureauX reports that the differences be-
tween theory and observation are so great
that it is not possible to draw isomagnetic
lines. and the magnetic force is as great as
it would be in the immediate vicinity Of
magnetic poles. The dip of the needle
ranges from As degrees to 70 degrees AT
two points about 450 yards apart the dec
linations are minus II degrees and plus 10
degrees, and the variation at two places
about a mile and a quarter apart is from
minus of degrees 10 pluS 10 degrees. NOtn-
ing near the surface to cause these anom-
allies is known to exist.
The smoke problem seems to have been
solved for factories in a very satisfactory
way by an Austrian engineer, Herr Fritz
Maier The solution depends upon closed
furnace doors and slow feeding without
admission of air from above, and it is
effected by means of an automatic stok-
er, which drops the fuel in small guam
titles on the front end of the fire, and
another automatic arrangement that grad
ually shovels the fuel along the fire. The
is cooled by water which, as
ii becomes heated, is used to feed the
boiler. Perfect combustion is claimed
and a trial of six months in a factory
lear Vienna is reported to have resulted
in saving of 80 per cent in fuel and 80
per cent in labor, one stoker doing the
work of ten.
Hidden flaws in guns, engine cranks
railway wheels. propeller shafts and other
steel castings are prevented in the pro-

use of vacuum chambers. The mold is
placed in an air-tight chamber from which
the air is exhausted. The chamber is
by a series of other vacuum
each connected with the CEN
trail chamber by valve-controlled pipes, |
and in this way a reserve of vacuum is
produced. At the moment when the steel

ber is sucked into the surrounding cham
bers. The air and gases in the fluid metal
rush out and diffuse themselves in the
vacuum, and the result is a fiawless homo
geneous casting.

AN EASY GAME.
Duffy and Norris Were Stars
in Academy Game.

The first victory Of the season for the
Worcester Academy foot ball eleven
was won yesterday afternoon atAcad-
envy oval when the Somerville high
school team was defeated by a score Of
81 to 8. Formation plays and hard,
swift running won the game. Davis and
Russ, the Academy guards, held the
line together in fine shape, but the ends
are not yet even fair
Duffy at half-back is winner, and
his frequent runs for good gains won
for him enthusiastic cheers from the
spectators. Norris took the ball over the
line for two of the touchdowns, and he
handled his men well.
Story and Brine, the ends of the
Somerville high school team, each
played a star game and their brilliant
tackling was easily the feature of the
game. The Pipe brothers, behind the
line for the Somervilles were evidently
In the right place, but their interference
was not especially good.
Fits, quarterback, made the only
touchdown for the visiting eleven. 1t
came when Russ lost the ball in play
near the end Of the first half. Fits
picked it up and ran so yards with a
clear field for touchdown. The Som
erville eleven did not lack aggressive
ness or rapidity in playing up but the
players seemed to be unable to stop the
formation plays of the Academy team.
The Academy line was heavier.

Match Race. ton
A good crowd attended the races held
under the auspices of the Giegno1n
Athletic Club at the park, this after
noon The event of the day was the
half mile race between Tom Burke and
Remington. Contrary to all expectay
items, Burke was in the best of condi-
ton and surprised the talent A large
amount of money changed hands on the
result. Both men got away we'll at
the start, and Remington took the
lead. Burke followed about 10 yards
behind, and was apparently running as
easy as possible. This procedure was
kept up until the last turn when Burke
quickened his pace, was at Remington's
heels in short order, passed him in a
bound and won. out easily, 20 yards to
spare. This was a bitter pill for the
Remington men, who had put their all
on him.
There was another surprise, in the
shape of Marien of the Cleghorn Club
beating out Sullivan, the crack Y NJ c.

each other in the 100-yard, 44O-yard and
