GL0THING FROM kauai.

KILAUEA, Kauai, January 26.-The
ladies of Kilauea under the leadership
of Mrs. G. r. Ewart and Mrs. II. r..
smythe held a meeting today at the
native church to consider what they
could do in behalf of the people made
homeless by the great fire in Honolulu.
1t was unanimously decided to collect
and prepare clothing to be sent by the
earliest means of shipment. The deci-
sion was Immediately acted upon, and
already large amount of clothing has
been gathered although the work has
been going on only few hours.
The sewing and preparation of the
clothing will be carried on in the ma
tive church, the Hawaiian ladies of
Kilauea joining heartily in this work.
The work of the Kauai police in car
rying out the instructions of the Board
of Health is greatly appreciated, even
If a shotgun quarantine was not es-
tablished, as gossip credits us with es-
tablishing.

THE SEA SERPENT"
DR.. Bishop Supports Theory from ills
Experience.

EDITOR STAR: In reference to the
alleged sea-serpent seen off Kohala
point, I would say that the des eriptlon
given by the Japanese witness pre- ee'seiy
corresponds to the appearances obser-
we'd by myself in 1852 off the coast Of
Brazil in an attack of the cetaceans
called thrashers upon a whale. The
Japanese is reported saying: 1t had two
immense wings about eighteen or TWEEN
ty feet long, would lash the water all
around with these immense wings and
then partly raise its body out of the
water" Through a good glass 1 saw a
succession of heavy blows delivered up
on the body of the whale by long slen-
der fms lifted high out of the water.
This was attended by violent move
ments and great commotion of the sea.
Old whalers can doubtless expound
this subject more perfectly. Descrip-
tions of alleged sea-serpents ! think
have never included immense fms"

PRESIDENT WOOD REPLIES
ANSWERS QUESTIONS REGARD
ING SANITATION.
Important Rules for Guidance of Sub
Inspectors-How to Act in Many
Contingencies.

In Saturdays Star appeared a COM
munication from an inspector asking
a number of pertinent questions in re-
gard to sanitary rules and regulations.
The questions were referred to Presi-
dent Wood of the Board of Health, who
, has kindly drafted the following ans
wers to each:
1.-Should the drainage from the wash
tub and sink be allowed to find it's way
into the closet pit, or should it be kept
seperate?
Answer:-Drainag water from kit
chen sinks should not be allowed to
empty into cesspools unless a grease
trap is used. There is no objection to
soapy water provided that it is not in
such quantity as to fill the cesspool
with too great rapidity.
2.-Should the closet pit be kept in
a dry or in liquid state?
Answer:-If it is a csspool it should
be liquid enough to render pumping
easy. If it is an earth closet it should
be kept dry by frequent addition of
dry earth.
3.-Should the sink drainage be car
ried off on the surface and exposed to
the purifying influence of the SUM- or
should it be conducted by hole at once
to the black sand that underlies the
city?
Answer:-It depends a great deal up
on local conditions. In thickly popu-
lated places or in localities where the
drainage is not good it should by all
means be conducted into black sand OF
other porous material or into a tight
cesspool, This is the best course in al
cases for greasy water from kitchen
sinks.
| 4.-What is the proper depth for q
closet pit? Should it go down of neces.
sity to the. black sand? Is boxing es-
sential?
Answer:-The regulations of the
Board of Health require that all cess
pools should he over 6 feet and under
Is feet in depth. All cesspools should
go down to black sand where there Is
an underlying stratum of this material
If the soil is of coral formation theI
the cesspool should be made tight ant
frequently emptied. Boxing is essen
tial
5,-For lodging houses, tenemen
houses, etc, what amount of accom-
mediation should be provided in tn
matter of closets?
Answer:-The law is-"a closet or pri
Wy, also to be kept in repair by tn
! lodging house keeper or employer, 70
every six people,"
6.-How many cubic feet of air doe
the law require for each person in
house! Is it the same for children al
for adults?
) Answer:-Not less than 300 cubic fee
! for each adult and 900 cubic feet 70
r one man and woman and two children
7.-Within what limit may pigs b
r kept?

7 bited within radius of 4 miles fror

Pushing the Work.

Postmaster Edwin Price received an
other urgent letter yesterday from the
supervising architect Of the government
to forward all data possible in relation
to the proposed federal building for this
city.
In conversation with Mr.. Price he in
formed The Sentinel that he believed
that the reason for the urgent message
from the supervising architect came
from the fact that the committee on
on public buildings, Of the senate, in
whose hands the bill for the erection OF
the building now il, had asked for the
information and that it was an augury
for good to have him urge the matter
forward at this end Of the line.
Postmaster Price ia doing all in his
power to forward the work to obtain the
building. He again urges upon all peo-
pie residing in this city and county who
are at all interested in the proposed
building, and who have an acquaintance
with any member of congress, or with
any person who has, to write at once to
them and urge forward the matter.

After the Cigarette Boy.

At special meeting of the board oi
school directors of district No l, Meas
county Colorado, the question Of cigar
cite smoking was considered and the
following resolution was adopted:
Whereas in the estimation Of this
board, the practice Of cigarette smoking
is luxurious alike to good habits and the
mind, and,
Whereas, Said board and the teach
ers Of the High school are asked to GER
tify to the good habits Of all graduates
directly or indirectly, therefore while
the board realizes that few cigarette
smokers ever reach position OF educa-
tional worth high enough to entitle
them to graduation, yet such is its alb
horence of the injurious practice, that
be it
Resolved, Owing to the injuriou
effects OF said practice, all known cigar
cite smokers be and are hereby debarr-
ed from graduation from our High
School and that said board and teachers
refuse to endorse all known cigarette
smokers officially, in any way, except
where evidence TO the complete satisfac-
tion of the board OF directors and the
teachers, is produced, showing that the
habit has been permanently abandoned
