Halves, who repeated the customary
native greeting, "Aloha!"
Heavy seas compelled the Silvertown
to remain at anchor until yesterday,
when scarcely a breeze stirred the
waters of the harbor. a few minutes
after o'clock in the morning the
Silvertown heaved anchor and made a
start down the bay. Shortly after l
O'Clock in the afternoon the Silvertown
reached the point where the end was
buoyed. The sea was not rough, but
the swell rolled the vessel considera-
bly,. Great care was taken in handling
her while taking up the buoy. 1t was
finally accomplished at 3:44 o'clock
without untoward incident. The cos
nection with the testing room was
quickly made and San Francisco re-
spOnded promptly to the call.
Connection was made at 4:04 be-
tween the two lines and Honolulu by
the slap. Four hours were spent in
testing and allowing the recently laid
lihe to acquire the temperature of the
ocean depths. At $40 p. m. Honolulu

BOARDS CAN BORROW
TO PAY TEACHERS.
That Is Understood 20 He the Opin-
ion of Judge Hart.


Atlanta, Jan. 2.--Attorney General
John C. Hart is expected within a few
days to render a formal opinion to the
effect that county boards of education
can legally borrow money. not in eX-
cess of the amount due by the state
out of the educational fund. for the
purpose of paying off the teachers in
advance of the receipt of their proper
ton of the fund from the state treas
ury.
This is a reversal of an opinion on
the same subject rendered last sum-
mer by Attorney General Boykin
Wright. Judge Hart has already eX-
pressed an opinion that this can be
done legally in a letter written to

county boards to make monthly pay
ments to the teachers, which has long
