THE STORM IS At An END
OPINION OF PROFESSOR LYONS
ON THE WEATHER.
Islands Have Been on Southern Edge
of Wind Cyclonic Area-Will be
Clear Tomorrow.

At the Punahou observatory today
the weather figures have been as fol-
lows: Minimum thermometer 6S;
maximum thermometer, 73: barometer,
29.97; rainfall, 2.33 inches; humidity, 80
per cent; dew point, 50.
Professor Lyons says this afternoon
that the storm is about at an end. The
wind has shifted to the northwest. Dur
ing the evening there will probably be
westerly showers. Prospects are for
q fair day tomorrow.
The rain of last night and this morn
ing appears to have been heaviest on
this side of the Island of Oahu. At
Frank Browns on King street the fall
was 1877: at Cecil Browns in Waikiki,
the figures were 2.SS the heaviest yet
reported; at W. w. Halls, in Nuuanu
valley, the gauge registered 2.l9 at the
regular time of measuring. To these
figures must be added the fall near
noon today to get the total for the "a
hours.
Professor Lyons says: THE present
visitation is caused by a cyClontc
storm on the Pacific of which we a.e
in the southern edge. This has been
going on since January 22nd. At diff
ferent times the barometer has evi-
denced the disturbance. Five days ago
ii went down to 29.7S. much lower, it
will be seen, than at present
"The storm first touched the group
at Maui some days ago. There, at the
time, was lightning and snow fell on
the top of I-alcakala. Yesterday it
reached us here. For five days the
barometer has been rising, which in5i-
Gates that the storm is broken and is
passing off. Last night the wind was
southwest. Today it is shifting around
to the northwest, which is the usual
course at the end of a storm.
These cyclOnic storms come over
the Pacific not infrequently, and each
time give us just the southern edge or
more OF the disturbance. This storm
has had a very wide area and has last
ed a number of days. 1t should not be
a surprise that disasters at sea are re
DOrted very soon

THE HOT TOWEL.

Frank Pacheco, proprietor of the
Union barber shop, has introduced in
the tonsorial world of Honolulu, the
hot towel, the latest approved applica-
tion to the clean shaven face. The
treatment is at once pleasing and is al
so invigorating and healthful. A short
time ago it was adopted by the higher
class barber shops on the continent,
but has never before been used here.
Mr.. Pacheco is the leader in this mat
ter, as he has been in all up-to-date
barber methods in the Islands.
1t is astonishing how quick the pat
rons of the new Union have come to
like the hot towel after shaving. The
first few days it was new, but all who
tried it liked it so well that they ask
ed for it again and again. New patrons
have come in to try it and have there
by been made steady customers of the
shop.
The people of Honolulu are indebted
to Frank Pacheco for many new ideas
and his patrons are always expecting
something new from him.
All who have not tried the hot towel
treatment should do ii at once. one
man said yesterday it was worth n
course at the Hot Springs, or treat
ment in the sulphur baths at the Vol
cano
The arrangements of the new Union
shop are such that customers can have
either hot or cold water as preferred.

THROUGH A HOUSE.
Old Man Knudsen Badly Hurt in a
Fall From Aloft.

A Norwegian named Knudsen fell
through the old Chinese restaurant
building next to Grinbaum's, on Queen
street yesterday afternoon and came
very near losing his life. He was TAX
en- to his home in a hack. One leg, an
arm and both sides of his body are
badly skinned and bruised.
Ludoff has the contract for moving
the building referred to and Knudsen
was working for him. The flooring Of
the second story had been removed
and beneath it the ceiling of the first
floor remained Knudsen stepped up
on this, and of course went down all
in a heap. A part of the first floor had
been pulled up and when he struck
that it was to distribute his legs and
arms between between the remaining
boards and the ground, two feet below.
The result was bruises galore ana a
narrow escape from broken neck.
Knudsen is an old man, nearly 10,
stout and stiff. For this reason his IN
juries are more serious than might be
supposed. At best he will be laid up a
long time

CHRISTIAN CHARITY.

The Anglican church Chronicle notes
as showing the spirit of charity and
Christian fellowship between different
branches of Christians, that "by the
courtesy of the ministers and deacons
of the Baptist chapel, the rector of
Keighlev, England, was able to take
the first half of the service of adult
baptism in that chapel, and to use the
baptistry, the candidate having asked
for baptism by immersion. The recep-
ton and concluding portion of the ser
vice were taken in the parish church

New Zealand

Professor Hitchcock's lecture before
the Social Science club at the resi-

had to deal principally with New Zea-

and Samoa were referred to at length
The views embraced about fifty sub
jects. DR.. Pratt manipulated the ster-

The lecturer was partial to the noun
tains and scenery of New Zealand, as
well as to the advantages held out by
that countAy to the student of science
1t was more interesting than any of
the other colonies and was an exhaus-
tive field for research.
After the talk a vote of thanks was
on motion of DR.. n. b. Emerson, given
to Professor Hitchcock. Refreshments
We're then introduced, and the program
took a less formal and more social turn.

Give the Devil His Due.

Gov. Foster has proven himself to
be Che greatest reformer in Louisiana
of this genefation, and his reforms
are known and recognized to be of
benefit to the State in ihany pafticu-
lars, and next to FraIicis t. Nichols
he is honored for his devoted services
to the State in the face Of bitter oppo-
sition He has repeatedly expressed
himself III favor of all the reforms
now being pf6bbsed as anti-F6ster
measures, and thefg is no man can
take precedence over him In these
things. While exercising the powers
left in the executives hands by the
laws handed down to us from the
days of reconstruction, Foster has
never ceased to point out their de-
fects and advocate n change, and
many changes have been made by
Ills shdeavors, and that, too, in spite
of the opposition of some of those
how proposing 10 lead in reforml
The MEN s6 loudly advocating "re-
forms' never would have exercised
the great power Foster has had With
the same moderation he has shown.
Ii the reforms proposed are ever put
inforce it will be when Foster steps in
and takes his Usual lead in such mat
tiers. Mark our words, We mean and
believe what We say, when the fight
for reform comes on in earnest Foster
is going to be found standing by the
men that do the only real work in
that direction.
