pose of considering the report of the

lively discussion of the matter
There have been made many sugses-
tions of changes in the recommends
tions of the committee, but it was said
yesterday by those who have been most
to the front in the discussions and ar
for the carrying through
of the plans that the details will be left
to the governing committee. such as
quarters and forms of work.
The illness of J. A. Gilman has acted
to prevent the securing of all the infor-
nation wanted. but it is not thought
that this will prove any serious bar 70

Il have been in Hon olulu a little mort

Birge at the Hawaiian Hotel last night
/ but I think 1 have found what 1 came
for. 1 came to the islands for my
health, because 1 believed that the
climate would agree with me. Certainly
the air here is most delightfully."- soft
and balmy. 1 have never seen anything
to equal it, at least in the time that
1 have been in the city. And 1 think
that L notice the essential differences
already between the air here and in
Southern California, say. You know,
this is winter. There is noticeable here
none of the cellar-like dampness at
night that is found in the nights of
Southern California. And it is more
balmy in the evening here. the air is
softer, than 1 have found in any part of
the Mediterranean coast at any time of
the year, or IN Mexico.
81 went for a drive on the hills back
of the city today, and 1 observed and
my wife observed this soft quality of
the atmosphere of Honolulu. Also,
have met a number of delightful people
who are resident of this beautiful city.
will remain about a month on the ISL

in. but I will probably go down to the
island of Hawaii some time next week
I had MY interest awakened in this re-
gion some years ago, and have wanted
to come down here ever since. I would
have come two years ago, had L not
