Observation-Disclosures

- HE younger wing shooters of Seat
tie are coming to the front. Last
week Ike Fisher and Eddie Fox
- emulated the example OF young
McMcken and tried clay pigeon
smashing. Their work was very good,
especially that Of Fox, who, in his sec
ond event at fifteen singles, under ordi-
nary conditions, made eleven clean kills
Out of fifteen birds, reversed angles, he
got only four: but 1t must be remembered
that he had had hard task. IL any one
doubts this let him try; go TO the
traps and experiment. l will vouch for
the result beforehand.
Fisher was trihe slow at first in fol-
lowing the birds. Perhaps | might ex-
plain better by saying that he was DELHI
crate, and thus let the birds get away
from him too far before firing. This is
good fault. and comes, | imagine, from
his duck shooting, wherein he takes care
to center the bird by accurately gauging
the distance and speed of the bird This
gives him the distance to lead the bird
At the West Seattle traps the clay birds
are thrown quick and fast. / know that
when | tried trap shooting the first thing
that impressed me was the rapidity with
which the birds got beyond reach felt
awfully slow. and Chief OF Police Reed
said there was no question about w. Any
way. / beat him by one bird. Following
are some of the scores made last week:

If the President signs the Porto Rico
bill, measure to which he is opposed,
it will be to hasten the day when the
question of it's constitutionality may be
brought before the Supreme Court. De-
filming the term United States" would
settle the organic validity of the bill,
but Congress cannot define 1t in a way
to clinch matters. The function Is one
for the Supreme Court and that body
cannot act until it gets concrete law
which calls for an calculation of the
point at issue. So II the Porto Rico

Attorney General Cooper will hardly
thank an evening paper for the insinua-
ton that he has spent an unduly large
sum in connection with the Board OF
Health. Like some other responsible
persons Mr.. Cooper has had the hand
ling or the direction of much public
money but we are yet to hear that he
has wasted any of 1t. The fact that the
Advertiser has had occasion, now and
then, to differ from Mr.. Cooper's views
of public duty and may have further oc-
cason hereafter, does not blind 1t to
the fact that none of the present gos-
sip, even though based upon the even
ing papers maladroit utterances, re-
lates to official extravaganza on Mr..
Coopers part.

1t appears, then, from these two bills
that 1t Is proposed to appropriate for
new public improvements in Honolulu
$944,672 and for the same purposes in
Hilo s74,6OO.
The Council of State have already
appropriated s345,OOO for the sewerage
plant in Honolulu and $4,000 for a
garbage crematory, so that the total
appropriation proposed to be made by
the Council of State for Honolulu pub
lie improvements is $1,329,672. while
that for Hilo Is only $74,600, or, in
round numbers, five per cent of the
amount proposed for Honolulu.
This Is certainly not fair division,
and the figures are commended to the
Executive and the Council of State for
consideration.

avoided If possible as 1t would soon give
Hawaii an unenyiable name and inter-

BOERS AND ST. HELENA.

An editorial in yesterdays paper
upon the choice of st. Helena as a
place of Imprisonment and exile for
the Boer leaders has brought the fol-
lowing courteous communication from
Judge Charles i. Hart:
Editor Advertiser: In this morn
ing's issue you say, General Cronje
will be sent to st. Helena, whither
perhaps, General Jouhert, Steyn, Krue-
duly follow. Considering the
unhealthful climate of st. Helena, the
spectacle of the brave Boer leaders
there would be rather depressing.
st. Helena, lying as it does right in
the track of the southeast trade-winds
and 200 miles from other land, is
hardly likely 60 have the unhealthful
climate you attribute to 1t, and, with
your permission, | will fortify this
view of the matter by quotation from
Bevan's students Manual of Modern
Geography" seventh edition, page SOB:
st. Helena, a small island with a
circumference of twenty-eight miles,
has an area of 10000 acres and popu-
lation OF about 5,059. Ii is
situated in 15' 55' S. lat. 80 Az w.
long, LOO miles from the west coast
of Africa and 1880 miles from South
America, 1t is of volcanic origin.
The climate is healthy, water
abundant, and the soil fertile"
1t is hardly probable, Mr.. Editor,
that should General Cronje and any OF
his gallant brothers in arms be sent
to St. Helena that they will find 1t
"a N la II f,,l
have purposely made South Africa for
the British during the past four or
five months. In conclusion, let me
say, apart from any depressing lnflu-
ences of climate, it is more than likely
that Britain's rivals the world over
would much prefer, had they a voice
in the matter, that General Cronje and
his confreres should remain in that
part of the world, where they have
been so vigorously fighting.

CHARLES +. HART.
Waikiki, March 10, 1900.
DR.. O'Meara's Conversations With
Napoleon" now running in The Cen
fury Magazine, show that the climate
in the time of the Emperors captivity
was anything but agreeable to himself
and his suite. We find little meteorolog-
ical data in the encyclopedias which
would be useful in this inquiry. but
there are indications in the Britannica
article that the climate OF St. Helena
has been gradually changing for the
worse. The coast zone, once very trop-
ical, is now dry, barren, soilless, Itch
en-coated and rocky, with little grow
ing save prickly pears and wire grass"
The only place where the original

HONOLULU AND HILO.

The appropriation bills submitted by
although comparatively short, cover
too much ground for complete discus
sion in this issue. One fact which at
tracts immediate notice, however, is
the disproportion of the amounts al
lotted for Honolulu and Hilo.
Honolulu is growing so fast that
large appropriations are necessary for
streets, wharves, sewers and other i'm
provements, If the town is to keep its
proper pace In the march of progress.
Much that is called for is indispensable.
Yet 1t may be questioned whether the
Government should branch out into
garbage collection on the scale pro-
posed However, with the general pol
icy of liberal appropriations for pub
lie Improvements the Advertiser Is in
hearty accord. But we must remember
that Hilo. as well as Honolulu, is grow
ing rapidly. No one who has not been
In Hilo for the past five years has any
conception Of the development of the
place and the immediate prospect of
development. Hilo has a framework
upon which to make streets; an en-
bryo waterworks; nubbin of a wharf
and no sewers, There is immediate ne
cessity for heavy allotments for all
OF these items.
The Executive and the Council of
State consist entirely of Honolulu

The supposed cases of beri-beri at
Port Townsend turn out to be bubonic
plague. 1t is significant circumstance
that they originated on Japanese
steamer which had just previously
stopped at Honolulu. Possibly this city
caught some additional infection from
this steamer and perhaps the steamer
caught what she had from us. There
is no telling.

the membership of that body. His bus

of most important character.
