ORDEAL OF FIRE.
A Wonderful Fijian Rite That Was
Witnessed by Scientists

ssASiAS5SSA ny oClCuCISSSs
Chambers Journals: A temporary
avenue of fern and palm leaves led Us
to the clearing, where, in shallow
pit, we saw a huge piled-np fire of
blazing logs. This had been burning
for several days, and the heat was SO
great that we hardly cared to go very,
near. 2
At last the proceedings began. Some
men, gayly decorated with garlands OF
flowers, began removing the blazing
logs. Some they pulled out by hitch
ing loop at the end of pole over
them; others they simply picked up III
the most matter-of-fact way. When
all the wood was removed we saw the
bottom of the pit had a pile of large
stones, red hot, in it; these they now
proceeded to level in a very ingenious
way. About dozen men, armed win
long poles, placed these poles behind
any heap of stones, rope--the stem
of y bush creeper-was passed behind
the pole, a crowd of natives seized
each end, and, with sort of call, am
swered by u musical sort of shout and
chant, they pulled the, ends of the
poles along, scattering the hot stones.
This was done again, and again till all
was level and smooth. Then, to the as
constituent of the natives, DIR.
1Iocllen, a scientific man, insisted on
hanging a Thermometer over the
stones. One hardly needed a Their
mometer to prove. that the. heat was
real; however, he had it slung across
until it went up to $50 degrees and be-
gan to melt; then. he. was. satisfied.
When all was ready, suddenly from
out of the brush came file of garland
ed men, who, without any hesitation
walked down and across the hot
stones, back again, and round, wind
ing in and4out; then, as they walked.
| piles of green stuff We're thrown down
to them, upon which they promptly
sat, and We're soon almost hidden by
the dense clouds. of sickening smoke

they came out, and various people
looked at their feet, without being any
the wiser when they had finished.
Then large bundles Of native food

seized a small native boy, and, giv-
| ing him my handkerchief, told him, as
far as my limited knowledge of Fijian
would allow, to go and put it on one
of the stones to be burned. This he
could not understand at all; he went
off with it, and then returned, looking
wistfully up at me, wondering, no
doubt, whether ] was q dangerous lu-
matte. However, at last one of the men
picked up Il stone from the edge and
brought it. He evidently was not n
hardened performer, for he handled it
very gingerly, holding it with leaves.
1T burned an entirely satisfactory hole
| in my handkerchief. I shall send it
home. as a witness to my story.

To Thoughtful mind the trust prob

TELEPHONE TAX FIXED.
Council Passes an Ordinance Fixing
Rate at Ten Cents a Month.

At meeting of the city council last
night an ordinance was passed fixing
the tax on telephones at ten cents a
month for each instrument. There was
considerable discussion previous to the
adoption OF the rate, but Councilman
Hansen's motion making the monthly
rate ten cents finally prevailed. Mr.
Hansen withdrew IN ordinance intro
duced by him at the previous meeting
designed to cover the same subject, II
having been found defective by City
Attorney Smith.
The petition of d. II. Welch for the
ten-year lnstallment plan for street
assessments on Commercial street be-
tween Fourteenth and Seventeenth
streets was granted,
1t was expected that City Attorney
Smith would submit the blanket IL
cense ordinance covering all depart
ments Of business taxable under the
city charter but the city attorney
stated that owing to its great length
II had not been completed. In outlln-
ing the proposed measure he stated that
II was the intention of the council
men with whom he had conferred to
fix the license at S. for each $4,000 worth
of stock or a fraction thereof, and $40
annually for professional men. The
council took a recess to discuss the
ordinance and although no report was
made to the council II was agreed to
amend by fixing the rate at $3.50 for
each $250O worth Of stock or fraction
thereof. Butchers and bakers having
a transient stock, renewed from day
to day. will pay So year. The rate
for professional men was not disturbed
