OAHU IS MOI SINKING
OR AT LEAST so LITTLE IT DON'T
COUNT
Prof. Lyons Tells About the Establish
ment of Tide Gauges and as Yet I'm
determined Matters.

EDITOR STAR; 1t would seem as
though science and the art of sensa-
tional. headlining in newspapers We're
likely to have a conflict. In fact there
is little encouragement for scientific
men to give short items to the press,
even over their own signature, for even
when a faithful reporter gives state
ments correctly, the deadly head-liner
gets in his work, and false Impressions
are made, not to be eradicated by sub
sequent reading of the text nor reme-
died by denial.
The writer has not said that there
was evidence that the island was sink
ing, but that while the temporary phe-
nomena of high mean sea-level were as
if there might be subsistence, yet an in
terval of twenty-eight years since the
first standard levels were taken does
not show any perceptible change.
The first standard levels We're run by
the writer in 1872 for an assumed mean
sea-leVel, real mean sea-level not be-
ing aScertainable in less than a year
and a half interval; though that fact
was not known here at that time.
This mean sea-level was connected to
a point at the entrance to the present
judiciary Building which being 1850
feet above the topographic zero has
been the standard for all dwelling oper-
and entrance, the photographic zero
which is just one foot lower, being de-
pendent upon this, and is the standard
for all sOundingS.
The tide gauge now in use was es-
tablished in June, 1891, and stands ma
uka of the Oceanic wharf BY the
check system of measurements adopted

exist of over a tenth of foot, provided

up. Each morning an assistant takes
off the sheet which carries the record
of the previous tWenty-four hours and
replaces it with a new one. This is not
generally done in other gauges, as rolls
are usually employed lasting for
month. The sheet is taken to the office
and reduced, one item being the mean
sea-level for the day.
Thus we have the statement of the
said sea-level for the ten consecutive
years. it has varied 5000 being the
topographic zeroj all the way from 9.3S
feet on the scale to 1852 by a period
which is not annual, and has not yet
been determined. The causes of this
variation are said to be "meteOrolOgi-
cal,"' but are not well known. The
same causes that have produced the
extraordinary heat on the continent
may have produced this phenomenon.
a strong S. e. gale like that of last
February will raise the sea-level fully
half a foot in the harbor, but that rise
is only local and temporary. For the
past two months the mean has been
higher than for any corresponding
period previous, from June 10 to July
"a, ranging between 1890 and 1888 1t
will no doubt recede gradually during
the next few months.
A complete study of the past ten
two of subsistence but that would not
affect our short lives.

COL. FRENCH 70 LEAVE
is CALLED BACK TO THE MAIN
LAND.
Win SAIL August 6-Will not Be Able
To Visit any of the other Island Elk
cept Kauai.

Lieut.. Col. French of the Salvation
Army will be obliged to cut his stay
here short and return to the coast
much sooner than he expected. In fact
instead of remaining until the latter
part of September and visiting all the
island he will sail August 8, ana will
not be able to visit any of the other ISL
ands except Kauai.
He left for Kauai yesterday afternoon
on the w. G. Hall, accompanied by
Major Harris who has charge of tn
junior work in this division, ana Major
George Woods who is in charge Of the
work in this territory. They We're sched-
uled to reach Nawiliwili this morning
where they will be met by Captain
Lewis and others.
Meetings will be held at Koloa, Wal
mea, Makaweli, and EleeIe. At Koloa,
where the army has hall of its own,
on the last. night of their stay on Ka-
uai there will be a soldiers conference.
The party will return to Honolulu sun
day
Saturday night in honolulu the ten
days conference will begin under the
leadership of Captain Bamberry Of
Maui. August 5, the seventh anniver-
sary of the beginning of Salvation
Army work in the Islands will be cele-
brated The real anniversary date is
in September but in order to have
Col. French here at the celebration the
date has been advanced a little
The reason for Col. French's hurried
departure is that his assistant in South
ern California has been stricken with
smallpox, his general secretary is un-
familiar with the work, and thee is
really no one on the coast now to direct
the work.
Major Harris of the junior lapart-
ment will remain and keep Col
French's engagements, and Col. French
himself will come later.

once more discovered.

recognition The couple remained in
retirement until the departure of the

other mpedimenta We're placed aboard

Just what spot in Japan will be select
ed for the retrt at can not be aScertaine0
as the couple are decidedly averse to an
interview. but social laws are lax in
Japan and there are many cherry
groves where oblivion can be sought
until scandal has hidden it's head.
Majors Strong's career is of course
irrevocably closed by the episode. He
recently was assigned to the Quarter
masters department i'm Manila and had
the scandal not come to light through
the reckless carvings on of the couple
i'm San Francisco, would have come
through here on the Grant while Lady
Francis, under the nom d'amOur of Mrs
Smith would have proceeded on the
Nippon Maru.
Her ladyship by her desertion has
given up all hopes of her share in the
enormously rich estate of the Duke of
Newcastle to which her titled and now
bankrupt husband has every prospect
of succeeding. The fair May first met
and was fascinated by Major Strong
i'm Europe and accompanied him to
America, where, so the story runs, she
entertained him at her New York fiat,
refusing to return to her husband in
England and the chance of the fortune.
At the rate of living usually enter

the eXchequer and probably of the fas-
cination, will probably take place in a
few months unless an entirely new
style of menage is adopted and the
twelve trunks, the bejewelled dogs ana
the colored valet are eliminated from
the scene.
The couple will arrive in Japan enter
ed on the purser's lists as r5r and Mrs.
j. 6. Smith, and will practice a
strictly select solitude on the voyage.

AGAINST LABOR MEN.
PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT
CONTINUES INJUNCTION.
Glassworks Proprietor FIaccus, q
'Tarentum, Pa, Won--LoWer
Court Sustained.

Philadelphia April 16.-The SUI
preme court, in an opinion by Justice
Brown. continued an Injunction
granted by the common pleas court
of Allegheny county restraining the
interference by officers of trades
unions with apprentices. The title
of the case is Charles L. Flaccus
against w. J. Smith, M. S. Brannin,
John Kungler, w. j. Clare, T. w.
Rowe, p. j. Shelly and j. D. Beatty.
The appellee is the proprietor of
glass works at Tarentum, Allegheny
county. He complained that the APP
pellants are members of the Ameri-
can Flint Glass Workers union, and
that for a long time he had been
hampered in his business by the eff
forts of the union to control his work
men and apprentices.
In his opinion Justice Brown says:
''The appellee had an unquestioned
right, in the conduct of his business,
to employ workmen who were indie
pendent of any labor union, and he
had the further right to adopt a sys-
tenn of apprenticeship which exclud-
ed his apprentices from membership
in such a union. He was responsible
to no one for his reasons in adopt
ing such system, and no one had a
right to interfere with it to his preju-
dice or injury. Such an interference
with his business is unlawful, and
cannot be permitted The court
found that the interference was in
furious to him, and if allowed to con
tinue would utterly ruin his business.
The damages resulting from such an
injury are incapable Of ascertainment
at law and justice demands that
specific relief be furnished in court
of equity The test of equity juris-
diction is the absence of a plan and
adequate remedy at law to the in
jured party, depending upon the char
acter of the case pending as disclosed
in the pleadings If equity alone can
furnish relief, the injunction must be
issued. With this test applied to the
pleadings and the facts found by the
learned judge in the court below, the
decree which he made was proper.
1t is now affirmed and the appeal from
II Is dismissed at the costs of the an
pellants."
