HiIO Church Fire.
(Herald).

Some dastardly vandal Saturday night
tried to burn the First Foreign church
by setting fire to the siding on the
Church street entrance. Fortunately
the fire was discovered and eXtinguiSh
ed by Mr.. Rufus Lyman. 1t appears
almost a miracle that the church was
not destroyed as the fire was started to
run under the red wood shingles,
which form the siding. and ordinarily
the mountain breeze would have kept
it going, which evidently the incen-
diary expected would be the case. Our
police should keep a vigilant watch,
with all citizens, as an incendiary is
the most dangerous person who can be
at large ''Take him if you can, shoot
him if you must" is the only rational
manner OF dealing with this class of
criminals.

adviser to the officers of the ship The
duty of Capt. Fitzgerald was to point
out safe anchorage in one of the
channels in case the vessel showed
signs of being unable to make the pas
sage. The City of Columbia behaved
admirably. She had no cargo and as
she sits at Irmgard wharf an uneven
blade of the propeller is an inch or so
above the water
Capt. Minor is beginning to show
the weight Of the care he has borne
ever since departing from Seattle with
the Jonah" ship. A great many SER
ious charges are lodged against Mil
nor. Looking for facts it seems that
the only grievance of the men aboard
the City Of Columbia is that they have
not received their pay. Naturally they
look to Minor for this and of course
he is unable to give them a penny. The
allegation that there is something
wrong with Minors papers seems
absurd. He is in command of the ship
has full authority to hold the position
and that seems to be all there is to it.
Capt. Milnor seems to feel keenly the
position in which he is placed and
complains bitterly of the combinations
that have been made against him from
time to time. On one occasion the
door of his cabin was placarded with
an insulting poster from the fore
castle. Speaking of the storm, Minor
says he believes the ship would have
foundered in it and that he took the
responsibility of turning back and is
entirely willing to accept the conse-

ST. CLEMENTS.
Anglican Trustees Condemn Mr.
USbOrne'S Mission,


AT meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the Anglican church in Hawaii,
held on Saturday, December 10th, the
following resolution was made by Mr..
E. Stiles, rendered by Mr. H. Smith,
and carried:
Whereas the statute regulating the
appointment and functions of the trus-
tee does not permit the trustees to
allow the erection of any church, par
sonage, school or other building upon
any church site until the plans thereof
have been submitted to the bishop and
the trustees, and
Whereas, the Rev. J. osborne has is
sued and widely circulated a pamph-
let entitled 1.-TWO Letters re the Angli-
can church in Hawaii" both in the Ha-
waiian Islands and in the United
States, which he claims that the church
erected near Puaahou called ST. Glenn
ent's was built in compliance with the
requirements of said statute; now
therefore be it
Resolved that it be and it is hereby
placed on record than no plans of any
such church have been submitted to
the trustees nor has any question been
laid before them concerning any
church site at Punahou on which it is
alleged church has been built.

Chinese Reply.

Saturday morning the Chinese in the
habeas corpus case filed an answer in
the Supreme Court to f. 3. McStocler s
return. The reply claims that the Unit
ed States restriction laws have not yet
been extended to the Republic OF Ha-
waii, that the petitioners hold permits
or documents emitting them to land in
the Republic of Hawaii, and, further,
that the annexation Of the Islands TO
the States did not and was not intend
ed to have any retrospective operation.

avail themselves of benefits thereof.
About dozen benches have been plac-

which are already appreciated by the
many who visit the park. So soon as

The former combination OF apparatus known
the "prsmatic camera" has long been used
by astronomers for photographing the spectra
OF stars. Excellent work OF this class has been
done, for instance. by the Harvard astronomers
at their Peruvian station. The application Of
the prsmatic camera to solar research Is more
recent. IT is hardly necessary to remind readers
Of The Tribune that the characteristic spectrum
OF any incandescent substance consists Of
series OF bright lines parallel with each other
arranged like tiny crossbars on practically in
visible ribbon. These lines are luminous images
Of the slit through which the light under exam
fnaton enters the spectroscope II, instead of a

would be circular, and very likely some OF them
would overlap each other.

Thirty NILES FOR Az ACORN.
THE INDUSTRY OF MEXICAN EIRD IN COLLIER.
ING PROVISIONS.

ING PROVISIONS
From ST. Nicholas.
Down in Mexico there lives n woodpeckc vhs
stores his nuts and acorn3 in the hollow s,ak,
OF the yucca3 and magueys. These hollow
stalks are separated by joints into several cayi.
ties. and the sagacious bird has somehow found
this out and lOres a hole az the upper end O.
each joint, and another at the lower through
which to extract the acOrnS when wanted. Then
IL ills up the stalks sOidly and eavos It's stores
there unit! needed safe from the Gcprodat!ons
Of any other thievish bird or four foot cd animal
The first place in which this curious habit was
observed was on a hill in the midst II a desert
The hill was covered with yuccas and magaeys
but the nearest oak trees were thirty miles
away and So it was calculated. these indus.
trious birds had 10 make a fight o. sixty miles
for each acorn slowed thus in the stalks.
An observer Of birds remarks: There are sey
eral strange features to be noticed in these
facts: the provident Instinct which prompts this
bird to lay by stores Of provisions for the win.
ter the great distance iraversed 20 collect
kind OF food so unusual for its race. and ts
seeking in a place remote from is natural
abode a stOrehouse so remarkable
Can instinct alone teach or have cXpertenc,
and reason taught these birds that. far better
than the bark OF trees or crevices IN rocks or
any other hiding place are thcso hidden cavities
they make for themselves with the hollow stems
Of distant plants?
This we cannot answer. But We DO Know
that one OF the most remarkable BIRDS in our
country IS this California noodp"ck' and tha.
