APRIL WEATHER.
It's Chief Features in Sacramento

The following data, covering period
of ewenty-one years. has been compiled
from the Weather Bureau records at
Sacramento by James A. Barwick, OBJ

the 24th, 1898. The lowest temperature

The new law regulating boxing was
intended tc be all right, and in some
respects it is, but in others it is a most
astonishing enactment. For instance,
it provides that whoever engages in
public or private sparring exhibition,
with or without gloves, is guilty of a
felony, except ths contention is con-
athletic club Which must see to it
that the gloves weigh not less than
five ounces, and that a physician is in
attendance to examine the parties as
to their physical condition before entry
upon the bout. The penalties for Sec
onds and alders and abettors of for
hidden boxing are just as heavy as for
the principals, and are such that the
parties may be landed in State prison.
Under this law two members of a gym
nasium class cannot spar for the fun
Of it in the presence of spectators. An
exhibition of boxing with gloves as big
as pillows cannot be given on the stage
or in the gymnasium nor in the home,
under this law, without incurring the
severe penalties of the Act. If two
persons engage in fight, no matter
what the cause and however excusable,
they are made felons by this Act, as
we'll as all who aid in it or instigate it.
1t may, indeed. be held under this law
that if two persons in merry humor
spar with the most harmless intent and
with open hands, they must be punish
ed as felons, and serve three years in
prison, besides being adjudged to pay a
fine of 5000 Probably the law was
never intended to work the ends we
have pointed out but assuredly it is
susceptible of the construction here
given to il. The law may have been
intended well, but if it is found to be
so dnwieldly as has been pointed out,
it will become a dead letter and condi-
tions will then be worse than before
the enactment became law.

THE MAINE.

In his paper on the siege of Santiago
Admiral Sampson in the Century" sets
up new reason for the belief that the
battleship Maine was blown up by ex-
terror forces. On two of the ships Of
Cervera's squadron which was de-
stroyed and beached off Santiago har-
bcr, the magazines exploded with ter
rife effect. In each case the maga-
zines probably carried larger quantities
of explosives than did those Of the
Maine. In each case examination of
the wreck proves that there was no
lifting of the bottom plates and the
keel upward, as in the case of the
Maine, whose keel was actually driven
up through the ship, bent into the shape
OF an inverted u and left standing fif-
teen feet above the deck of the vessel.
In the case of the Spanish ships the
magazine explosions operated outward
ly and downward. This is strong testi-
mony In favor of the theory that the
Maine was destroyed by torpedo or
mine exploded under her forward part
and from without.

pools, sewers or Euisances of any de-
scription," ard "of low places calculat-
| ed to receive and re1ain unhealthy de-
posits.'
This is ample power surely, and 1t
should be exercised But it does not
stand alone. The people by their city
constitution have commanded that the.
Board of Trustees shall provide for
enforcing the orders and regulations OF
the Board OF I7ealth" More than this,
it is provided that the Trustees shall
(not may) meet all the expenses neces-
sarily incurred by the Board OF HeaItn
in carrying out the provisions OF
law and of the charter. To clinch this
expression as mandate beyond possi-
bility of denial the charter makers add
ed these words, and the people adopted
thenl-the Trustees ''are hereby author
lied and DIRECTED to make an ap-
preparation therefor out of the general
fund. Throughout the article all ex-
preston concerning the duties of the
Board of Health is made mandatory. 1t
shall, and its officers shall, do this and
that. The order is peremptory, the
power unlimited the direction of the
Trustees to provide for enforcement OF
the orders Of the Beard of Health i'm
peraitive.
The difficulty is and has been that the
Board of Health though inspired oy
the highest good purpose, serving with
out salary, eminently public spirited
and composed of educated and sclen-
tific men, lacks the courage to assert
itself and compel obedience by usual
legal process to its mandates. 1t should
not beg and inplore of the Trustees,
nor stand before them with its thumb
in it's mouth to be questioned like
school boy by his teacher. 1t should
maintain It's indepe ndence, assert its
cons titutiona1 authority and it will find
the people with it heart and soul, and
that the Trustees will accord it more
honor and respect han when it appears
before that body ir the attitude of
suppliant.
