Social conedY To-NIaht.

The students in the elocutionary de-
partment present tonight "Just For
Fun" social comedy, in three acts.
The members of the cast have made
careful preparation for their initial ap.
pearance before the footlights, and 1t
is safe to predict that everything will
pass off with the smoothness that
comes from faithful training. Each
participant has worked with the spirit
that assures success and the daily re-
hearsals have been all that could be
desired. All that can, should give their
support in this noble work which will
do so much to make our Normal stand
first among the like Institutions Of the
State.

The social set of the capitol Is al

place at the White House the middle
Of February. Although the Official an.
nouncement by President and Mrs.
Roosevelt yesterday offered no details
beyond the mere fact OF the engage

wedding, it is understood from rella,
BILE sources that the ceremony viii
take place in the beautiful east room.
The wedding of Miss Roosevelt and
Mr.. Longworth will be the tenth on
record at the White House and bids
fair to be the most brilliant Even the
great east room will be found all too
small for the crush of guests that will
undoubtedly be invited. An attempt
will probably be made to limit the
number as much as possible, but the

they are well content to settle down

ANCIENT ENGINEERS FEAT.
Bored Tunnel Similar to SimpIon
Years Ago.

From the Scientific Americana
Unmistakable evidence EXISTS that
$500 years ago certain Hebrew ell
gincers lin the time of King Heze-
Kiah) executed exactly the same kind
of work which was carried out in the
SimpIon Tunnel, though perhaps or
slightly smaller scale.
Dr. Bertholet, a professor at the Uni
versity of Basic, is the gentleman who
claims to have made this discovery
The Jewish records state that King
Heze.Kiah of Ezekias who reigned al
Jeru'alem 727 B. c., was much lrou
blcd at the bad state Of the water sup.
piled to the people of that city. He
accordingly lad a vast reservoir made
at the gates of the city, to which water
was fed from various springs lying at
greater or less distances from the res.
ervoir in question.
At first his project seemed doomed
to failure, as there existed between Je-
rusalem and the springs from which
the water was to be derived a high
chain Of hills, over which it would he
impossible to convey the water. 1t
was, therefore, determined to open a
passage for the water through the sol.
i'd rock. One of the Sirach MSS. dat.
ing from this period states in this con.
nectlm' "IIe2e-Kiah fortified his city
by bringing water thereto, and he
bored through the solid rock by means
of bronze and he collected the water
in a reservoir"
Recent explorations have enabled
this predecessor of the Simpion TO be
thoroughly identified. 1t is said tc
be ;he Shiloah Tunnel, by means OF
which water was brought down from
source to the east of Jerusalem and
poured into the pool of Sloan, men
rtiOned in The Bible This conduit Is
$50 yards long. The distance, as TIE
bird flies, between the two mouths OF
the tunnel is also only 300 yards, which
proves that the work was not executed
in a perfectly straight line-due doubt
! les / to the difficulties which the en-
ginccrs encountered in their task
which (for the period was of really
marvellous nature.
That the work was commenced from
both ends of the tunnel is not onlJ
proved by the inscription, but also by
the fact that the marks of the b0rins
tools. picks, etc, may still be seen
all bearing in opposite directions. The
direction of the tunnel was altered sew
eral times during the construction
thereof, as are several short galleries
which we're evidently abandoned as
soon as it was noted that working was
being done out Of line. The floor 81
the tunnel is finished with the great
est care, and the workings vary from
fivc.eighths of yard to one yard IN
width by from three feet to nine feet
in height, more or less, according tc
the hardness of the rock.
In the light Of modern engineering
science the following questions sug
gest themselves: How did these old
time engineers gauge their direction
recognize and remedy their errors and
alignment? What tools did they use
to execute 4 piece Of work which has
remained without equal or rival for
200 years?

though the season will develop a new

and that to the champion Aala team IN

~ one run. The Alohas are composed
Of heavy hitters and when they come

CAMP MCKINLEY ACTIVE

Never before has there been such an
active lot of soldiers located at Camp
Mckinley. The lads in blue are GER
tainly in the swim as far as athletics
go and they mean to show the local
lads thing or two before they are
pau"
During the baseball season the In
fantry produced three good men In
Ringland, Van Vliet and Hannah. All
these three made very creditabls
showing on the local diamond and
played up to the standard Of the local
cracks.
The latest move at Camp Mckinley
is TO enter a football team in the
local league. Before now the boys
representing Uncle Sam have made q
POOR showing in both football and
baseball. This football team will be
handled by Capt. Schoffel and Major
Van Vliet and both of them will chase
the pigskin themselves. With Officers
In the lineup there will probably\be
different story and the town lads are
sitting up and taking notice. Punahou
and Male have no easy mark in the
soldier boys this year.
Both Van Vliet and Schoffel are past
masters in the art of football and II
experience tells the tale they will de.
liver the goods.
The Van vliet family are also well
represented in the coming tennis
championship and 1t is thought by the
wise ones that they will prove dan.
gerous.
1t is quite possible that there will
be other material in the two new com.
panies that are on the way.

that It is the practice of many foreign

they will be able to pass American in

squalid boarding houses, where the

that thousands Of persons are admit

are said to have the most dangerous
diseases.

one room. They had been rejected by
the ships surgeon as cases that would
not pass muster. The man in charge
boosted that he would have them FIX

The system Of "doctoring" has led
to another evil. Quack doctors i'm

less lear is felt of dangerous freshet,
which was Threatened Sunday. owing to

the river is about or 10 feet above nol-

stream has overlooked for distance OF
30 to 100 feet the low lands, but no
damage has been done. The rise has
carried down great mass OF ice, but
only small gorges formed, and were
easily broken. There is still great
amount of ice ON the big dams above
