The reports of the lava flows are
somewhat indefinite up to the present.
According to the news by the Kinau,
the flow towards Kau has decreased,
while that towards Hilo seems to have
increased. If this is so, the present flow
is similar to that of 1881. At that time
there was a short flow towards Kau.
which stopped, while that towards Hilo
continued for months. The fact that
the flow has started high up the noun

levels. it rushes out with great impetuo-
Aty, but LASTS only a short time This

OUR BOYS.

she position of men who shine in
athletics in our universities is not al
ways understood by outsiders. The
idea prevails that men devote them
selves TO athletics to the neglect of their
studies. The idea is an erroneous one.
A man cannot shine in athletics, unless
he is we'll up in his college work How
ever good an athlete he may be, unless
he passes his examinations satisfactor-
ny, he cannot enter into the represent
tative varsity athletic teams. Thus ath-
letics are wisely made the spur to urge
the ambitious youth to work.
There used to be an idea that the
reading man must be round shouldered
spectacled, pale and shambling, and that
the active, broad shouldered, strong
Binewed man must necessarily be a
Ounce. But we have learned a great
deal better than that Because a man
can captain a baseball team, or pull a
good oar, or win mile race, or a tennis
championship, he need not be the less a
mathematician, or be a Ounce In class
les, or duffer at law. Bishop Willis Is
none the worse theologian because he
pulled in his varsity eight, nor was
Gladstone a worse orator or a less
sound financier, because he could fell a
tree at threescore.
In fact it ought to stand to reason
that the healthier and stronger the ami
NAL, the more powerful and we'll bal
anced should his brain be. To foster
hpo in ut ha Of l..
manifestly absurd, to foster the body at
the expense of the mind, would be
equally absurd, but to combine the two,
and to cultivate both mind and body, so
as to get the best out of each, is surely
the wise and the sensible course.
1t is upon such lines that presidents
and faculties of universities now work.

1t is satisfactory to hear our citizens
endorse the Board of Health for the
care that is being taken with regard to
the vessels coming from the Orient.
Public opinion is we'll behind the board,
and it need fear no complaint as long
as it remains firm and takes proper pre-
caution. People here, very thoroughly
realize how great the danger from
plague is, and know what panic would
take place were ever a case to develop
here. We are so situated that we can
keep the enemy out with comparative
ease, though with discomfort to
some pleople. But familiarity must IN
this case never breed contempt. 1t was
slight carelessness which caused the
outbreak in Vienna that entailed the
loss of three lives even though the most
prompt measures were taken. If it ever
passed the vigilance of our quarantine
st would not be caught and stopped so
readily as 1t was in Vienna.

The efficacy of the daily paper for dis
seminating views has been appreciated
by the kaiser. 1t is stated a new office
has been created at the German embas-
sy at Washington, viz journalistic at
tsche. Dr. Withe has been appointed,
and his duty will be to keep himself
conversant with all the papers, and
correct mis-statements when they oc-
cur. This is a sensible move, and the
journalistic attache will very soon be-
others, as through him the German
Government will speak directly to the
American people. Other governments
will doubtless follow suit.

All Montana Rivers Turned Into Raging
Torrents.
ANACONDA, Mon, April 10.-Specials
to The Standard from various parts of
Montana show that the recent chinook
has made raging torrents out Of most Of
the rivers, in many cases breaking all
records. The Yellowstone has caused
the greatest loss to life and property.
Ice jams have backed the water up at
Glendive and Miles City, where the
greatest damage has been done.
At Miles City the ice jammed the
mouth Of the Tongue river, forcing the
water back until the entire south side
of the city was under water. Seventy
five houses had to be abandoned, the
people having to be rescued in boats
so quick had been the rise of water.
Later in the afternoon the water broke
over the track into Main street where
it ran torrent.
Washouts are reported all along the
Northern Pacific and passenger trains
are stalled all along the line, but the
details are slow in coming.

GLEND1vE, Mon., April 10.-An ice
gorge in the Yellowstone river at this
point caused the stream to overflow,
drowning 10 persons. Three spans Of
the steel bridge are washed out, causing
a loss Of $25. 5.OO0; the Northern Pacific
tracks are inundated and possibly
washed away for some distance, and the
loss to live stock by drowning will in
volve large sum. The dead are: Mrs.
R. w. Snyder, wife of rancher; Miss
Nellie Reagan, her niece; Miss Rose
Wybrecht, visitor to the Snyder
ranch; George F. O'Connor, and James
Sullivan, wife and six children.
The ice began moving at $50 in the
evening and continued flowing until
$50 p. M, when it formed gorge. The
Snyder party, noticing the backwater,
started for the Northern Pacific tracks,
Hoping to Escape Drowning,
but before they covered half the dis
tance the water was waist deep and
they took refuge in q tree. OConnor
was the first to be washed from the
tree, Mrs. Snyder the second and Miss
Wybrecht the third. A huge piece Of
ice struck the tree and broke it in two,
carrying off Miss Reagan.
Later developments found eight more
persons who were victims of the over
flow, making 10 in all. They COM
prised the entire family of James Sui
livan, wife and six children, whose resi-
dence is within 200 yards of the nearest
point of the Yellowstone river. When
Sheriff Aiken and Charles Parker
crossed the river amidst the floating ice
they found the Sullivan residence with
doors and windows open and the entire
family dead in the room.
