Senate OF June 2, 1908, asking show
many days the present extra session
OF the Legislature of the Territory
OF Hawaii may sit under the pro-
visions of the Organic Act" Fol-
lowing is the reply:
section 43 of the Organic Act
says that each session OF the Legis-
lature shall continue not longer
than sixty .days, excluding Sundays
aud holidays. providing, however,
that the Governor may extend such
session for not more than thirty
days. The Section also provides
that the Governor may convene
the Legislature or the Senate alone

there are only two sessions known
to the law, a regular session and
special session.. Each session shall
continue not longer than sixty days,
excluding Sundays aud holidays
Any session may be extended thirty
days by the Governor.
THE sess on now sitting is spe-
cial session of the Legislature as a
whole, convened by the Governor
for particular purpose, and the
session shall continue for sixty
days. Section 43 clearly provides
for this by stating that each sss-
sion of the Legislature shall con-
tinue not longer than sixty days,

AT FORT SMELLING.
Drill OF Soldiers During SUMNER
A. Knapp's Interesting Letter OF
Regular Army Life.


Fort Smelling has had an unusually
large number of visitors the past
month. Some of them have come to
see the new buildings under construc-
tion, while others have been attract
ed by the army maneuyers, parades
and drills. The twenty-frst infantry
can be seen at its best now for nearly
the entire regiment is at the post and
is being trained in practical army
movements
From early morning until sunset
some form of drilling is going on. The
parade which is held just before sun
set has proved TO be the greatest at
traction, Guard mount is at ll:OO
o'clock in the morning also is popular
with sight-seers. There is no parade
on Saturday. Sunday and Wednesday
evenings, but guard mount can be
seen every day.
The soldiers are early risers. Guns
are fired at 900 o'clock in the morn
ing, and the soldiers are all in line at
roll call at $50 o'clock. Members OF
the hospital corps are governed by
entire different routine than men in
the line, for instead of drilling we at
tend lectures daily, and at other times
we do our assigned duties. After a
few movements in calisthenlcs to en-
courage an appetite they OTTO break
fast. A s O'Clock company drill be-
gins, when the manual of arms and
company movements are practiced, 1t
lasts until 900 O'Clock when the COM
panies form in battalions for regi-
mental drill.
Imitation forts are built and is a
very interesting part of the sights at
the fort. All. manner of attacks on
imaginary enemies are made. lmita-
ton forms are constructed in difficult
locations, and attacks are made in
various ways. The toughest part of
the reservation is chosen for this work
to make it as realistic as possible.
The officers show the men how TO at
tack fort or ambush and how to get
under cover without exposing any
more of the body than is necessary.
Sham battles are fought between
squads. A squad of men may be sent
through the woods in marching order
and when it is least expected they are
attacked by another squad in ambush
A sham battle results between the
squads and the one which obtains
the best positions is considered the
victor. the men take great interest in
this form of drilling, and at the same
time get practical training
The methods of training the soldiers
in practical work vary at the discre-
ton of the colonel in charge. Some

Cremation has been practiced by most
or the nations OF the earth from the
earliest ages, and, although in pagan
countries IL may have taken the form
or hre worshiping there can be no
doubt that its adoption by the ancients
was for the most part prompted by
other than religious reason. Greeks
ascribe its introduction to Hercules,
who, having sworn TO transmit the
body OF Argus TO his father. thought
this the most convenient way or rui-
h!lihg his promise According to Ho-
mcr. the burning of the dead was
common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war, but the
earliest record OF 1t is among the Scyth-
fans. who Inhabited the vast region
known under the name OF Tartary.
Slender accounts handed down con-
corning the manners of some OF the an
Gent natives Of Hindustan also allude
to the custom. The idea of publication
by fire was in all ages universal. and
with good reason. Some believed that
the body was unclean after the depar-
ture of the soul, and 1t was therefore
deemed necessary that 1t should be
purified by fire. Ovid expressed the
general opinion of his time when he
said that the soul was not completely
separated from the body until the lat
ter was consumed on the pyre. The
Athenians invariably after a battle
burned the slain.
