the IRL n. HICKs 1901 ALMANAC.

Whatever may be SAID OF the scien-

Hicks bases his yearly forecasts Of
storm and weather, IL is remarkable
fact that specific warnings OF every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed Ia
his now famous Almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof OF
this fact was the destruction Of Cal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac, as
one Of disaster by storm along the gulf
coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far the
finest, most complete ind beautiful yet

To him books were dedicated with long
rambling prefaces and with episodes
which were their own excuse for being.
In the very middle of the story the
writer would stop with Il word of apol-

STABLES IN QUARANTINE
BOARD OF HEALTH TAKES ONE
STEP.
Will Now Seek to Establish Source Of
Infection and Will Act Later-Opin-
ions of Members.

The Hotel stables were placed in reg
ular quarantine yesterday afternoon,
pending further investigation into the
case of All Hung, the Chinaman who
went from there into Pauoa valley and
died Monday evening al the pest house.
The guards took charge of stables and
offices and are instructed not to allow
anything to leave the premises.
Most of the time of the Board of
Health at it's afternoon session was de-
voted to discussion of what should be
done with the stable. DR.. Wood stated
the particulars of the two plague cases
traceable to those premises was ques-
toned by various members regarding
the Japanese and the Chnaman. 1t APP
pears that the japanese had actually
slept on the premises while the China
man had not. Both men worked in the
stables. Following the death of the
Japanese his bedding was destroyed and
the room whitewashed. This man left
| the stables on January 20 and died two
days later.
Mr.. Hatch contended that the evil
dence failed. to show infection of the
premises. In fact circumstances rather
pointed to an outside source.
DR.. Wood agreed with this idea, as
regards the two men but said that the
point was whether or not the premises
had become infected by the two cases.
continuing DR.. WOOD SAID that evil
dence showed that the Hotel stables
Chinaman and the men from near the
Waikiki turn contracted the disease
through the stomach or lungs, either
by eating or breathing the bacilll.
DR.. Emerson did not believe the sta
bles were a seat of infection and if they
were properly cleaned and disinfected
there would be no danger. The case
of the Pantheon was entirely different
George w. Smith thought that the
evidence showed the stables to be IN
fected.
1t was suggested that before action
was taken the home of the Chinaman
in Kakaako should be discovered as the
source of infection might there be dis
covered
Dr. Wood replied that the stable
owners were to be considered. They
wanted action of some sort taken at
once. The Board should act on the
evidence before it.
DR.. Day said that the strongest sus-
picion rested upon the premises and
until the matter was cleared up the
stables should be placed and kept In
strict quarantine. This was put as a
motion and carried unanimously
During this long discussion DIR. Wood
drew attention to the condition of all
stables in the town center and said
that they should be moved further out
| They were set directly upon the ground
and the earth beneath them was satu-
rated with filth. 1t was next to i'm
possible to keep them in a sanitary con-
dition and they were a constant menace
to health.

TYPHOID FEVER.
Cases Reported Along the Water
Front.

A number of cases of typhoid fever
are reported along the water front.
They are attributed by many to the
filth that is dumped into the harbor,
which makes the air foul whenever the
wind dies down. All over the harbor
there is refuse floating about and at
some places there are foul cesspools
that require attention. At the end of
the new addition to the Pacific Mail
wharf an open sewer discharges it's
contents into the. water, above the level
OF low tide and at point that is never
well covered by water. At low tide
this is very ill-smelling locality.
There is little or no current here and
the stuff the sewer dumps is a long
time getting from shore.
