BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
New Horses for Street Department,
 New Pipe for Water Department.

New Horses for Street Department,
 New Pipe for Water Department.
 The board of public works held it's regular monthly meeting yesterday af- ternoon, Mayor Kilduff presiding.
 Commissioner Whiting brought up the matter of the proposed grade and layout of Highland avenue from Bank street to West Main street, and wanted to know when the engineer would have 1t ready for hearing. The commis- sioner was very anxious to hurry this work along and moved that the engi- neer be requested to give the board the present status of the matter at the next meeting The motion was passed
 A committee consisting of Commis- sloners Blakeslee, Mahaney and Super ntendent Kelley of the street depart ment was appointed to purchase a pair or horses for use on street -the depart ments..
 The mayor and engineer were ap- pointed as committee to purchase q certain quantity of pipe for water main extensions.
 The board indulged in a short talk relative to the advisability of providing office accommodation for the city sheriff in the City hall annex. While no vote was taken upon the matter it appeared to be the sense of the board that the sanitary inspector should have quarters for himself where others who nave occasion to visit the water de- partment would not interfere with him. III such case the sheriff could be conveniently located in the annex. This work is in the hands of committee consisting of the mayor and Commits sioner Whiting.
 A few petitions for new work. re- ferred to the board by the aldermen. were placed on the list for investiga- tion.
 It was agreed that water mains he laid in pants of the following streets. First avenue, Hillside avenue. Willard strc~ Watertown road. North Willow street, Drayer street, Sunnyside ave nlae. North Main street. Walnut street. and Prospect street. The mayor and the engineer were appointed as a com mittee to purchase pipe, using the quantities needed for these streets aS basis. The expense of the work out lined is something over $13,0OO The total appropriation for that class of work is $16.OO0.
 The payroNs and miscellaneous bills were read and approved.
 The board expressed much surprise ait the action of the aldermen in hold ing up the recommendation for storm water conduits in certain streets on the ground that they did not know whether hearings had been held or not. It was stated that already the board of aldermen has ordered conduits laid 1 in twelve or fifteen streets and never thought hearings necessary. Property owners were heard on the brewery brook conduit, but this was on private property and where benefits and dam 1 ages had to be assessed.
 The board adjourned for week.

The meeting last night was some what smaller than usual, due, no doubt, more to the unreliable car service than any lack of interest. A paper was read on Poisonous Berries" The writer of the paper had been ito some pains to collect new material on the subject, and although the paper was only q short one it was much appreciated. There was a varied exhibit last night, n birds nest, some birds eggs. two freshly plucked wild flowers one, the low mallow, being in blossom and a number of mounted plants. At the next meeting E. B.

For the protection of pensioners and

er f. F. Ware has issued the following
notice:
"All persons employed by the Bu-
reau of Pensions are paid for their
services by the government OF the
United States. and are not entitled to
collect any money from any individual
for performing their official duties.
ANY person who pretends to be an
officer of the bureau, and demands
compensation for his alleged services
in that behalf is an imposter, ann
should be turned over to an officer OF
the law
THE object OF this circular is to pro-
tect all persons having business with
the bureau against the swindling
schemes OF unprineipled imposters.
who falsely claim to be officers OF the
government, having power to grant
pensions, arrears and increase, and
who collect money from their victims.

HAWAIIAN OUTLOOK.

annual report that unless there should
be larger immigration of American
settlers than now seems probable. the
present numerical inferiority OF those
who may be classed ~ belonging to
the Teutonic race. as compared with
the Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese
come a still greater inferiority as COM
pared with the then American citizens
Of the Hawaiian. Portuguese. Japanese
and Chinese races"
This opinion is based on conditions
in the schools. The American and
European children in the schools. not
including Portuguese and Porto RI
cans. number 1.505, an increase OF only
eighteen over the previous year. while
the Hawaiian, Portuguese. japanese
and Chinese children in the schools
numbered 1929, an increase of 945.
Among references in the report to
social conditions in Hawaii, are the
following:
There are many marriages between
Hawaiian women and white men and
a few between Hawaiian women and
Cinnamon. The offspring OF both clas-
ses OF marriages are an Improvement.

is true with the japanese.

to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-

MY husband had been drinking cof-

his nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and 1t was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is SO delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and hon

our entire family have now used Pos
