SUN AS HEALTH RESORT.
The Great LuminaFy Is Not a Molten
sphere, But "A shining
Smnltarium.


The western astronomer who an
nounces that the sun is not a molten
mass, but, on the contrary, delightful
place to inhabit, will receive more re-
spectful attention than would have been
possible ten years ago, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. That the sun Is the
source Of practically all the light and
heat we receive is undoubted, but the
nature Of these two forces is not only a
mystery to us, but the theories which
have from time to time been advanced
concerning them have been found un-
tenable Although we have immeasur-
ably increased cur knowledge concern
ing the universes and some Of its laws
in the last four centuries, we are not
much nearer any appreciation OF the
causes underlying them
The ignorant talk glibly about the
subtle ether" gravitation, light, heat
and electricity. but the wisest admit
that mighty little can be positively as
serted about any Of them aside from OBJ
served phenomena. No reasonable ex-
planation has ever been given that ex-
plains the law of grayitation, which
alone Of all these in the universe seems
to work exactly the same at al times
and under all condition. No one can
explain how the rays of the sun pass
through the fringed space for 90,000,00O
of miles and yield us the warmth and
light without which life is impossible
10 al or
vanced to explain how the sun main
tains its volume Of heat in spite of the
constant loss through emanation, but
they are theories only.
The atomic theory was used for
decades to explain many things, but
since that has been destroyed or made
doubtful through the discoveries at
tendent upon the Hertzian waves and
the emanation of ions, scientists are at
sea where once they felt secure. Radi-
um exhibits phenomena that are thus
far inexplicable, and it is probable that
the western astronomer has arranged
his theory of an inhabitable sun largely
because of these recent discoveries
which have done much more to destroy
former views than to construct new
ones. He thinks that the sun is the
great dynamo of our system. and that
tight and heat are mere effects of cleo
tricity as locally manifested when in con-
tact with matter. This sounds well, but
it means little. 1t does not dispose of
the difficulties attendant upon the the
ory afforded by other known eondi-
tions.
What can be said is that no one with
any intelligence will at once categorical
ly disput the theory. That period has
gone by What is demanded is that he
who propounds this or any other hy-
pothesis shall back it up with reason
able proof of a scientific nature. We
are unlearning many things just now,
and are preparing to learn new ones,
and we must all approach any subject
with an open mind, devoid of prejudice.
The sun may or may not be inhabitable.
It is going to be difficult to establish
either proposition.

THE PLAN IS POPULAR

The Stars offer to the school girls
and the school boys of Honolulu. which
has attracted more attention from the
start than any other proposition put
forward to attract their attention, is
steadily increasing its hold on them.
More and more of the pupils of the
schools are taking hold. and entering
into the contest for the prizes which
the Star offers, and for the substantial
rewards which will be secured by those
who work, whether they secure a prize
or not. Auccess Is attending the ef-
forts of every one of the boys and girls
who is taking hold of the matter. Quite
large number Of girls have entered
with spirit into the contest. and are
meeting. apparently quite as much
success as their brothers. The plan
is one by which in return for securing
new subscribers to the Star, the boys
and girls who secure them get very IL
beral compensation. and in addition a
chance for one of the prizes of $50, $25,
SIS and $40 which the Star offers for
the largest number of new subscrib-
ers secured. Full particulars of the
whole plan are published on page of
this issue.

SURVEY SHIP
NOT COMING

DR.. Alexander of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey, received by
the Gaelic mail a letter stating that
the survey steamer Patterson, which
was to have come here, largely for the
purpose of properly locating the island
of Niihau, will not be z-Dle to come for
some months Alexander is instructed
to go ahead and do the best work he
can in the matter without the steamer,
and he will leave this afternoon with
two assistants to make a triangulation.
A. C. Alexander and Samuel M. Kerns
will go with DR.. Alexander. Kerns will
station himself at point on Niihau,
Alexander, Jr., at Waimea and DR..
Alexander at Makaweli. BY means of
the heliograph they will then make a
triangulation by which the location of
Niihau, relative to the Island OF Kauai,
can be correctly established, so that
errors in ocean charts may be correct
ed.
While on the island Surveyor Kerns
will do as much surveying of Niihau
as he is able, for the benefit of the de-
partment. The last surveying done on
Niihau was thirty years, ago, by George
Wilcox, and it is believed that there is
a good deal to be learned about the ISL
and.

ON
CHRISTMAS DAY

The Board of Education this morning
decided to admit to parole on Christmas
day seven of the inmates of the Indus
trial school who have records of good
behavior Their names were submitted
by superintendent Atkinson, who re-
commended the paroles as likely to
improve the usefulness of the school,
by giving more incentive to good be-
havior. The boys are to be allowed to
go indefinitely, their term of freedom
being conditional only on continued
good conduct.
December is was decided on as the
date for sclosing the schools for the
Christmas holidays. January will
be the date for reopening. The resig-
nations were reported of R. L. Ogilvie
of Kipahulu. Miss Emma Withran Of
Kaauhuhu The action of the super
sntendent was approved in appointing
Miss Alice d. Ewart to succeed Miss
Winifred Andrews of the Royal school
Miss Mary Cockburn to succeed Miss
Florence j. Scott at Kailua, North

Abel Cathcart at Makena Mrs. Bridge
water principal of Pahapuka, North
Hilo, vice Mrs. NJ. Deacon. Resigna-
tions were reported of S. L. Merriam
and Miss Elizabeth Cartwright of the
High School and Superintendent At
kinson said that correspondence was
being carried on to fill the vacancies.

papa since the appointment of John
Unea as teacher. Unea is a leper and
is reported to be doing excellent work
in his school.
The matter of the use of the fund to
assist worthy pupils in the normal
school was discussed and a committee
was named consisting of Mrs, Hall,
Mrs. Won Holt and the superintendent
to report on it.
Superintendent Atkinton produced his
new commission from Governor Carter,
at the opening Of the meeting. at which
there were present Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Won

All There
But kepOkai

This evening Governor Carter will
entertain the department heads at din
ner at the Alexander Young Hotel.
Covers will be laid for nineteen, ali of
the department heads and their wives,
with the exception of Treasurer A. n.
Kepoikai, having been invited. Kepoi-
kai is alone in the administration. He
was not invited to the first council of
the new administration, and the treas
ury department has no place in the
arranged schedule for conferences with
the governor. Hence he doesn't count
in Carter's list of department heads.
Those who will be present at the table
are Governor and Mrs. Carter, Secre-
tary A. L. c. Atkinson, Attorney Cen
eral and Mrs. Lorrin Andrews, Super
intendent and Mrs. c. S. Holloway,
Land Commissioner ]. w. Pratt and
wife, Auditor ]. H. Fisher and wife.
superintendent Atkinson and wife, DR..
c. B. Cooper and wife, Surveyor Wall
and wife, and Chief Justice Frear and
wife. Judge Dole was to have been
one of the party, but the accident to c..
S. Dole prevented his attendance.

An attempted local transaction that
recalls the notorious Humbert swindle
has just become known. While the Ho-
nolulu transaction did not attain the
gigantic proportions that the Paris af-
fair did. nevertheless the principles Of
both are remarkably similar. The First
National Bank is the institution where
the transaction was attempted to be
started, but was frustrated by Cashier
Cooper.
Some time last September a woman
went to the bank and showing a sealed
envelope, announced that the envelope
contained certificates of deposit on the
Crocker- Woolworth Bank of San Fran
cisco. She did not desire to deposit
these certificates that day, howeNvi, as
there was some business in connection
with them that she desired settled first
with her attorney. She asked that the
envelope be held a day or so when she
would desire the certificates collected
by the local bank. The envelope evil
IDENTIFY contained papers of some de-
scription, so it was accepted, and held
under the conditions, as stated by the
woman.
But there was a delay for some rea-
son in having those certificates collect
ed. The envelope was allowed to re-
main in the vaults of the bank, gather
ing dust. While the officials of the
bank did not bother themselves much
about the certificates, other people did
Inquiries began to be made at the bank
regarding the financial standing of the
woman. She had referred the inquir-
ers to the Bank for recommendation as
to her fitness and financial ability. But
the inquiries did not cease at this point.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
WHAT is "A COUGH?

A spasdomic effort to expel the mu-
Gus from the bronchial tubes. A cold
causes a more abundant secretion of
mucus, and when the lungs and bron-
chial tubes are inflamed, they are ex-
trehely sensitive to the irritation. I'M
less care is taken, the cold may result
in pneumonia, which is swift and dead
ly. If the cold is a lingering one, the
more leisurely but equally fatal con-
sumption may set in. Do not neglect
cold or cough. Take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. 1t always cures and
cures quickly. Sold by all dealers.

Checks against the First National
Bank began to make their appearance.
The checks were apparently drawn by
the rather mysterious woman client.
Inasmuch as she did not have any ac-
count with the bank, payment on the
checks was refused Quite a number
of checks were offered but all were re-
fused payment The limit of these
checks seemed to ge about 800. Fully
$500 in checks is alleged to have been
presented and refused payment at the
First National Bank.
The officials of the institution finally
began to tire of having to refuse to pay
worthless checks and also to turn down
the financial character of their pros
pective client, so yesterday the woman
was called into the bank and there Civ
en- the alternative of opening an ac-
count in the regular way or else TAX
ing her certificates away
She was told very positively bv Cash
Ter Cooper that she would either have
to open the envelope and disclose the
contents of the alleged certificates of
else take the envelope and it's contents
away from the bank. She refused to-
open. the envelope so, after rather an
interesting interview. she took up her
envelope and the certificates and left
the institution.
No criminal proceedings have been
begun against the woman it is under
stood. 1t was reported that she nad
been forced to disgorge $500 yesterday
for the purpose of making good the re-
jected checks. This report was denied
at the First National Bank today. 1t
was stated that that institution had
not lost any monGy as the payment of
the checks had been refused.
