Post Office Building
At HtlO
Pressed On Congress

Anthony Richley of Hilo, who is in
the city, states that plans and specih
cations for new postoffice building al
Hilo have been forwarded to the Post
office Department. Mr.. Richley is an
architect Of note throughout the North
west and has planned and supervised
the erection of some OF the finest mod
structures In the coast cities Of Wash
ington and Oregon.
Mr.. Richley said the Postofiice De
partment requested these plans for O
new Hilo Office some six weeks ago.
The present postoffice building al
Hilo Is on land belonging to the Hilo
Railroad Company and the lease has
not much longer to run.
The new site proposed for the post
office and other Federal Offices is on
Waianuenue street two blocks from the
sea. A tract 400xi00 feet is facing
Bridge and Waianuenue. street has
been recommended. The impression Is
that the Postofiice Department will try
to have Congress pass an appropriation
for a new building at this session.

Sheriff Henry has given out a state
ment regarding the enforcement OF the
Sunday law which Is In effect what
has already been published by this pa
per in interviews with the High Sheriff.
The position Of the Sheriff is that Ire
will stop Sunday labor, otherwise the
law will be enforced with discretion.
In other words the strict rule against
Sunday labor and open stores Is prac.
tically the only difference between the
Henry Interpretation and the Brown
Interpretation. The law is not to be
enforced according to law but accord
ing to personal opinion and custom.
As the law now stands, the method OF
enforcement Is more a matter or arbi
trary assumption than Of right
Henry's Interpretation is very good
one. giving a reasonably liberal Sun
day, but It would be far better for the
officials and the people to have a Sun.
day law on the statute books that would
not be changed every time officials are
shaken up or change their minds.

FEEDING THE ARMY.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE annual
report OF Brigadier General ]. F. West.
on, Commissary General of the Army,
says the total cost Of feeding the Army
during the past fiscal year was sS.S2l.-
$50. During the year the losses were
S41S,650 In the Philippines; $7467 on
the transports, and $129,s53 in the
United States, Alaska, Porto Rico and
elsewhere. From the total amount OF
losses is to be deducted $3.50. the
proceeds of sales at auctions of dam.
aged and deteriorated stores. etc.
General Weston says that 1t is diff
cult and often impossible to prevent
losses of perishable stores. Losses are
due principally to long and difficult
water and inland transportation and
to trying climatic conditions. The rap.
Id abandonment Of posts also resulted
In large losses, particularly in thu Phil
ipplnes.
General Weston urgently recon.
mends the passage Of a bill by Con
gress to give authority to all officers
entrusted with the disbursement OF
subsistence funds to hold restricted
amounts of such funds In their person
oil possession. He says the exigencies
OF the public service require an open
disregard OF the restrictions Of the ex.
listing law in cities where the treasurer
or an assistant treasurer is located.
He urges legislation authorizing the
sale at public auction Of accumulated
subsistence stores In good condition
which cannot advantageously be trans.
ported to other points for Issue or
sale to troops.
General Weston says the problem OF
feeding the Army In the Philippines
was difficult one. but 1T has been
successfully solved. and subsistence
affairs in the archipelago are now run
with system and economy"
The subsistence department, II is
stated, was able to make contract for
fresh beef for the fiscal year 1905 by
which an annual saving OF over $780,
900 was effected as compared with
the contract for the previous fiscal
year. The running expenses gradually
have been reduced to a minimum. the
report says, and a saving OF more than
$4,000 made In wages of civilian EN-.
ployes alone. Credit for these results
is given to Colonel Henry @. Sharpe,
Chief Commissary Of the Philippines
division.

A NOTED PHYSICIAN.

Heroism Is not exclusively confined
to the battle field nor philanthropy to
the captain Of industry and the sue
cessful stock exchange manipulation.
This is a material age and there Is
much reason for the mad rush for and
worship Of the almighty dollar. At
the same time the public records are
constantly bringing into the fore
ground men Of action, unknown to
smart" society, utterly foreign to high
finance, living In rut perhaps, yet in
dellibly placing their mark In history
and fulfilling the true ideals of success.
The late Senator Hoar was such a
man. Another who died about the
same time was the late Professor Nells
Finsen. Here was a man who did
things. He added TO the worlds fund
OF knowledge and contributed a large
share to the alienation Of human suf.
fering. though himself an invalid and
constant sufferer. Successful In his
Invention he had the opportunity to
turn his discoveries to exclusive finan.
clal benefit and finish his days In lux.
ury. What he did was to throw the use
OF all his discoveries free to the world
and use what money he obtained to de-
velop his new line of treatment of dis.
ease--the Finsen light for the treat.

Ffnsen's life was an inspiration to

end generally to youth who think the
door of opportunity has been closed,
that all the discoveries have been made.
As Sir Isaac Newton discovered" the
uw of gravity by the inconsequential
fall of an apple, so IL was by an appar.
emily strange chance that Finsen took
up the study that made his name fam.
Gus. lie had, ii is true, a gift for In.
vention. and produced widely.varying
things, as a dissecting knife, an i'm
proved breechloader, a cool summer
house. a cooking apparatus, and some
haematine lozenges. There fell into his
hands a pamphlet, dated 1892, by DR..
Fiction, of New Orleans, which narrated
that during the Revolutionary War
some prisoners suffering from small
pox were shut up, by accident or de.
sign, in dark rooms. 1t was noticed
that these men had no secondary fever
that there was no matter in the pox,
and that no scars were left by the dis
ease. This chance circumstance gave
Finsen the hint which turned his ideas
in the right direction. II had been
pointed out by Prof. Widmark in 1883
that the chemical rays of light, the
blue-violet and the ultraviolet rays, in
famed the skin. Finsen conceived the
notion, and devised a method. of using
Iight from which had been removed the
chemical rays which injure the skin.
This was in 1898, and the red light, or
negative light, treatment has been
widely used with beneficial effects for
smallpox and other affections. While
II does not cure smallpox Is prevents
the secondary fever and the suppura.
ton and soaring which follow. He de-
yeloped the idea, and in 1895 treated
his first case of lupus. The patient

out result. The electric-light treatment
was eminently successful, and the fame
of his cure for a hideous disease, which
had hitherto baffled medical skill,
spread rapidly. Patients went TO him
from all parts of the country, and some
years later he was able to report that
half of 500 cases treated down to No.
Nomber, 1901, were completely cured.
Only per cent. withstood the treat.
ment or showed merely temporary i'm.
provement. When in Copenhagen In
1899 Queen Alexandra, then Princess
OF Wales, and her sister, the Dowager
Empress of Russia, heard DR.. Finsen
lecture on his light cure, and at once
took measures to make 1t known In
England. Philanthropists and scient.
lists Of every leading nation on earth
have taken up and forwarded the Fin.
sen work.
Few scientists living or dead were
ever given such marked honors. Fin.

that he could have accumulated i'm.

however. TO make his methods free,
aud what money came to him from pa
TENTS or philanthropic donation was
devoted to the maintenance Of his in
stitute and the development Of his
branch OF science. The accomplish

standards OF the medical profession
from the sordid levels to which 1t, oil
any other profession, often fails In the
hands of men without ideals.
