with the same enthusiasm which has
been manifested on all former occa-

was graduated. About two hundred Of
the young people who have been giEen
educational advantages through the
generosity of the late Princess Pauahi

after their refreshments. listened to a
fine literary and musical program.
The hall was adorned with American
and Hawaiian flags and the emblem Of

prominently displayed many of the tro-
phies of the baseball diamond, football

the faculty said, were happily linked
together. There were many of the
alumnae members who have reached
positions of prominence and trust, both
in mercantile and governmental life,
Fred Beckley, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, being an example.

Even many native New Workers do
not know how the Bowery came by Its
name, according to the Pittsburg Dis
patch, which thus proceeds to their en-
lightenment: No less person than the
famous old one legged Governor Peter
Stuyvesant was responsible for it.
When the city Of New Amsterdam
sprang into existence many farmers
from Holland came over to seek their
fortune in the new world, among them
old Peter. They settled outside the
town and proceeded to develop the
land by clearing away the woods and
planting it with grain, fruit trees and
ornamental shrubs they had brought
with them. Peter Stuyvesant called
his residence and grounds the Bou-
werie, and the lane connecting 1t with
New Amsterdam became known as
Bouwerie lane, the settlement itself
taking the name of Bouwerie village.
Stuyvesant's farm extended from the
junction Of what Is now Third and
Fourth avenues to Seventeenth street
and eastward to Second avenue, where
at the corner Of Tenth street his home
was located.

THE OYSTERS POSITION.
IL Wedged on Its Right Side In its
Bed IL VIII Die.

"Why does an oyster sleep and live
on its left side?" asked man VINO Is
interested in oyster culture. "Well'
suppose we will have to put the ques-
ton to Nature, and Nature has her own
way Of answering questions. ! nave
been around in the oyster waters OF
the Chesapeake bay and Choptank riv-
or for many years and am In position
to say that this is the natural way
Of the oyster. may remark paren-
thetically that this is one Of the dithcul-
ties we have to contend with, for IN re-
bedding oysters and punching them an
oyster is occasionally thrown upon It's
right side and weighted so that 1t can
not turn over. 1t simply dwindles
away and dies by degrees. Put upon
It's right side the oyster cannot live.
OF course there IS an explanation TO
this popularity. The right hand part
of the oyster shell is the top and mov-
able part. If the oyster is put In It's
natural position-that is, on Its left
side-it requires but small amount OF
physical energy to open and raise the
right hand section Of the she'll when
the oyster wants to feed. Reverse the
position and put the oyster on the right
side and we find an extremely difficult
problem, from the oysters standpoint.
In order to open the shell for feeding
purposes it is necessary for the oyster
to raise not only the weight Of the LETT
section of the shell, but its own weight
as we'll. If we reverse the natural po-
sition Of the oyster, put 1t on It's right
hand side and wedge 1t so 1t can't turn
over, we simply smother and starve II
to death. OF course, am just theoriz-
ing about this thing. There may be
some other explanation Of the left hand
ed life Of the oyster, but from my expe-
rience l am inclined to think the ex-
PLANTATION given Is a reasonable one.
