We have no. seen the monthly
financial statement OF the treasurer
for December yet. We anticipate it
will furnish an excellent text for
comments and that i, probably the
reason it has not yet been published.
Perhaps there is nothing to report
about except that the treasury is at
a very low ebb and why report any
unpleasantneas.

Is it possible that the main object
OF the protective association ia to
prepare for the arrival of repre-
sentative of the Commissioner CT
Fish and Fisheries and have "suit-
able" laws in readiness for his con-
sideration. The sections of the
Organic Act relating to Fisheries
read a. follows: "Section "a. That

cred and required to examine into
the entire subject of fisheries and
the laws relating to the fishing
rights in the Territory of Hawaii,
and report to the President touch

such changes in said laws az be

"Ssction 95. That all laws Of the
Republic of Hawaii which coufer
exclusive fishing rights upon any
person or persons are hereby re-
pealed, and all fisheries in the sea
waters in the Territory of Hawaii
not included in any fish pond or
artificial enclosure shall be free to
all citizens of the United States,
subject, however, to vested rights;
but no such vested right shall be
valid after three years from the taxi

"Seotion 96 That any person ho

II we get municipal government
for Honolulu we hope the city will
appropriate sufficient money for the
establishing OF public baths. 1T is
au outrage that city like Eouolu-
In is without public baths for the
special benefit Of the poor AL
though we are only speck 10 the
ocean the bathing facilities are very
limited indeed There is some fair
bathing to be had at Waikiki but
how many can afford the time and
expense. A man may spare an hour
every dey spd wish to take bath
during that time. II we had some
thing similar to the Sutro baths, the
man could easily enjoy refreshing
bath during his hour of leisure and
return to work in foe condition.
Now he can go down and look at
the filthy water in the barbor, in
b ale the stencil from the dock and
go back 10 bis desk neither refresh
ed or in q good condition to work.
The first cost might be considerable
but we do not see why a bathing
establishment on sufficient large
scale shouldn't eventually pay more
than the expenses. II we don't get
municipal government we will OF
course get no baths. The territory
will hardly vote money for public
bath for the benefit of Honolulu
people. There is hardly a city OF
the wealth and location OF Honoln-
la which. cannot boast OF maguifi-
cent public baths. The missionary
million aires see OF course no nece:si
ty for public baths. They have
their own Aqra Marine villas and
beach cottages with fine bathing,
why then should they pay taxes for
the benefit Of the poor and the chill
dren to who daily salt water bath
will prove Of everlasting benefit.

"To the Little Girls

Far far away, till Pm out o breath,

The collection includes lamps OF all

lamps of to-day. There are old English

heart of the collector of curios.
Among the Chinese lamps are those

lamps, old-fashioned olive-oil lamps, and

LIVES WITHOUT ARMS AND
LEGS.

AT New London, Mo-, lives Rodney
Elzea, lad of seventeen years, who was
born without arms or legs. In spite OF
this affection he has made rapid strides
in learning to take care of himself His
arms cease just above the elbows, and by
the use of these stubs he uses his knife
and fork at table and eats without SEEM
ing inconvenience. The legs are of just
below the hip joints, yet the manner in
which the boy gets around is phenomen-
al. His mode of locomotion is Jumping
and 1t is surprising that he can cover SO
much territory in so short space OF
time. He has goat and wagon, which
he uses in his trips over the town, and
each morning after donning his clothing.
which he does himself, he hops to the
barn and harnesses his goat. In fact,
he does as much and great deal more
with all his deformities than more per-
fectly made boys.
Young Elzea is very bright in his
books, having attended the public school
at New London for a number of years.
He is of a cheerful disposition and scat
tiers sunshine rather than gloom among
his companions. He was born in Au-
drian County, Missouri, but was taken to
Rails County when mere boy.
