FLUME MUST BE FIXED.

In regard to the flume at the Victoria
Hospital for Incurables, the following
report was made:

DR.. ]. s. B. Pratt, Executive Officer.
Sir: I have Investigated the complaint
of the flume of the Victoria Hospital for
Incurables by F. w. Macfarlane. dated
July 18th, and beg leave to report as
follows:
The fume is an open wooden one and
extends from the hospital across the road
and about 200 feet from the beach. 1t
discharges into water about feet deep
at high tide.
The statement of natives catching shell
fish in the vicinity is true.
Two patent water closets for attend
ants connect to this f1ume also a bath
tub. According to DR.. Bowman all dis
charges of the patients are disinfected
before being emptied into the fiume and
all sputum is burned in a small fur
mace. All the washing Of the clothes,
towels and bed clothes of the inmates is
done on the premises and the water
empties through another hume into the
Kakaako ditch. This clothing is not dis
infected before being washed. The bath
and kitchen sink water also empties into
the Kakaako ditch.
AS the kakaako ditch discharges with
in very short distance of the f1ume
complained of it is easily seen that all
sewerage of the hospital is not carried
to sea but spreads itself along the shore
beside the beach road.
This condition of things should not be
allowed to exist and as connecting to
the sewer will straighten out the whole
matter it seems to- me that the premises
should he cd o.
Yours respectfully,
c. H. TRACY,
City Sanitary Officer
The report was accepted without dis
cussion and orders were given to have
the hospital connected with the sewer
at once.

STRANGE FORMS OF SEA LIFE.
Hitherto Unknown Species Brought
to Surface by a Dredge.

Hitherto Unknown Species Brought
to Surface by a Dredge.
From the Seattle Post-Inteligencer.
What is believed to be a hitherto I'M
known species of the spoon worm has
been pumped up from the depth of Ell
lott bay by the dredger in operation near
the Centennial mill. Specimens which
have been submitted to Prof. Trevor Kin
caid of the university are pronounced by
him to be different from any species pre-
viously found in Puget sound, but some
what similar to an Alaskan form of sea
life.
The animal found in the bay is of nom
descript appearance. 1t resembles an OBJ
long transparent rubber bag filed with
water and varies from three to five inches
in length. II is about as thick, generally,
as a mans thumb At each end are sew
eral circles of sharp bristles, colored like
brass and seemingly as hard. These are
believed to be it's defensive weapons. The
bristes at one end are stronger and more
numerous than at the other. Other species
have the bristles only at one end.
These peculiar animals were first
brought to the surface about two weeks
ago by the dredger of the Seattle and
Lake Washington Waterway Company.
They were sucked up by the pumps from
a depth of from thirty to thirty-fve feet,
and carried through the discharge pipes
to the point where the filling is being
made. There they we're found by mem
bers of the dredger's crew, whose carios-
ity was aroused by the appearance of the
worms. A number were collected and
given to the officers of the company.
To a reporter Capt. w. e. Roberts of
the dredger stated yesterday that the
species was found in schools. He believes
that they live on rocks, and every time
they have been pumped up so far they
have been accompanied by pieces of stone
and coal, which had been dumped into the
bay by ships discharging their ballast

They appear to be able to travel on any
side and wriggle along like a common
earthworm. As far as l can learn II is
not exactly known whether they live
upon the surface of the sea bottom or be-

The costumes of both head gardener

CLOSED yesterday after running for two
days was big success and the officials
of the Wilmington Horse Show Asso-
citation under whose auspices its was

had grave doubts about it being sue

other officials who came from other cities
expressed themselves as being very much
pleased with the show and said IT com
pared favorable with any show seen i'll
other cities this season.
The attendance yesterday was about
1000. The people enjoyed the eNlihition
very much and many went to the officers
and asked that the show he repeated next

hut that the entries will he more numer-

credit is given William ii. Churchman
for the manner in which he directed the
show He did what was right at the
proper time and kept things moving.
In recognition of his valuable services
he was presented with a handsome bout

number of blue ribbons and therefore
was awarded the handsome loving cup
offered by him for the person winning the
