PINKHAM EVASIVE.

(c) That l.. E. Pinkham acting in
his capacity as President of the Board
of Health had not in any way provid-
ed for the carrying out of the intent
of Section 113I of the Revised Laws
of Hawaii.
Third. The aforesaid L. E. Pinkham
the known president of the Board of
Health, was at that time, the 10Th day
of March, 1908, present at Kalaupapa,
but he failed to carry out the condi-
tions of permits granted by him, and
thereby he failed in his duty as such
president and against the public safe
ty and contrary to law.
Fourth. Considerable evidence was
given before your committee and lib
eral time was allowed to Mr.. L. E.
Pinkham to crOss-examine witnesses
but summed up, all of the testimony
brought to a concise point appears to
warrant your committee in coming to
the conclusion that the President of
the Board of Health seeks to evade his
responsibility and to throw the blame
on to a third party. A short and sue
cinct statement of one side of the evil
dence is submitted by L. E. Pinkham
dated Sth of April, and giving "an-
swer No. 5l2.''
makes Mr.. L. E. Pinkham a person
unfit for the office he now holds, and
therefore your committee are com
PEELED TO the conclusion that the Gov
ernor should request his resignation
Fifth. Your committee further sub
nit that the statement of L. E Pink
ham to your committee in his letter
above referred to and beginning on
page , with the words Gas isis a
gross evasion of the main issue. Is he,
or is he not, the controlling and execu-
tive officer of the Board of Health ?
The question of what this police officer
or that attorney general. or any other
person does not do, or did not say
bears nothing in the case.

THE HOUSE.

"The Hllo armory is, by the neglect
of the Public Works Department and
the wilful violation of the contract by
the contractor, an inferior and UNI
workmanlike building"
This was the conclusion reached by
Lewis, Lilikalani and Kalino, the spe-
cial committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives, to whom the matter was
referred.
The committee reported that Asiat-
les had been employed on the job; that
the contractor was present on the job
only three or four days, instead of
constantly, as called for by the con
tract; that the contractor, L. w.
Whitehouse & Co., sublet the contract
to j. C. Carter and then appointed
the sub-contractor its foreman and paid
no more attention to the job: that the
sills, posts, girders, stringers and roof
trusses were not according to specif-
cation; that the splicing, trimming,
window caps, iron roof, iron ridging,
flooring, embarrassing, painting, rus
tie, nails and steps were not as called
for, and that on the whole job the con-
tractor had saved about 5000, or i
per cent OF the contract. The exami-
nation was made by John Ouderkirk.
The report was adopted.

the Board of Health upon the Achi

spectively report:
The object of the resolution is to ad-
wise the Governor to remove the pres
ent incumbent of the office of and as
President of the Board of Health for
the following reasons:
First Section 1131 of the Revised
Laws of Hawaii clearly and distinctly
sets forth who, and under what con

rosy, and under these conditions one

FAILS TO DO HIS DUTY.
Sixth. In the last paragraph but one

The remarkable operations of Cassie
Chadwick were made possible only by
reason of disease in human nature
which might be called plutophopia-
hatred for the rich. Had her fimsy
tales of connections been directed
against any ordinary man they would
have been promptly dismissed as pre-
posterous. But no slander Is too gross
for credit If only a very eminent man
is the object. In some inscrutable
way it seems to promote self-satisfac-
ton to believe that the extremely for
tunate in the affairs Of the world are
more prone than other men to stray
from the straight and narrow way.
Maybe there is envy mixed up in it.
Maybe there is an instructive feeling in
the carnal mind of the majority that
success is not separable from libertin-
ism. Anyway, that which, told about
an ordinary person, would be dismissed
as malicious or interested fiction is
greedily accepted when it is linked
with prominent name. 1t is easy to
imagine, if you are spared the disgust
of observing with what an air of i'm
portance the hearers of such story
hint to their familiars concerning the
inside" information they possess and
descant upon their small smatterings
Of the irregular lives of the eminent.
You think that great name solidly
founded upon masterful industrial
achievement and princely beneficence
Is impregnable to slander? Then you
don't know the deep disease in human
nature which causes just such name
as that to be the most easily be-
smirched. You don't know that suspi-
cion is foul parasite that instructive
ly seeks to attach itself to healthy
growth. But Cassie Chadwick knew
it, ana the secret invested her with
powers which we falsely call hypnotic.
She appealed to subconscious force
in men against which their calm rea-
soning and careful business training
atrophied and became impotent. Had
she used the name of an ordinary man
she would have been promptly shown
out of every bank she entered as a
slanderer and swindler. But great
man-ah! that went straight to the
diseased spot. Human nature went
half way to meet slander like that
and embraced it at once.

vital, not moribund. The figures for
practically every denomination show a
percentage of growth during 1904
larger than the increase in population.
There is not such a drift away from
traditional theology as many would
have the world believe. The average
person is not as determined to break
away from the faith of the fathers as
is currently represented. The truth is
the pulpit always has taken far more
interest in theological puzzles than the
pews, and there can be a mighty
churning Of the doctrinal waters with
out the church rank and file becoming
disturbed.

The customs of mourning as prac-
tced in various parts of the world
seem at first sight to have little rela-
ton with each other or with the in
ward grief which they are supposed
to typify. Yet by the exercise of a
little patience, many resemblances may
be discovered among them. The wild
ow's cap, for example, dates back to
the days of ancient Egypt. Egyptian
men shaved the beard and the head as
token of mourning. The women,
instead of cutting off the hair, con-
cealed it by a close cap. The Romans,
who were as race clean shaven, shaw
ed the head in mourning and wore a
wig. The black band on the sleeve, as
sign Of mourning, comes to us from
the days of chivalry. The lady tied a
scarf or napkin, as the handkerchief
was called about the arm of her
knight. If he was killed in battle she
wore the band in memory of him.
Black has so long been the color Of
grief in Anglo-SaXon countries that it
seems part Of the upside-down civil
ization of the East that Japan and
China wear white. But no longer ago
than the time of Elizabeth the unfor-
tunate Mary of Scotland wore white
on the death of Darnley. Even now
the hearse used for children is white,
and in England the mourners at fun
erals Of young, unmarried persons wear
hatbands and sashes of white. A queer
English, custom is that of decorating
the black hearse horses with long, false
black tails. They attract no more no.
tice on street in Liverpool than do
the black nets used in this country to
cover the horses. A great many sensi-
bic people protest that wearing tokens
Of mourning is a barbaric custom that
should be abolished or greatly modi-
fed; but when loss and grief actually
come into the individual life, one dis
covers that there is a strange, subtle
fitness in gloomy garments, and that
they answer to the need of the soul
for silence and separation.

How Fishes Breathe.

By means Of their gills fish breathe
the air dissolved in water. The oxy-
gen consumed by them is not that
which forms the chemical constituent
of the water, but that continued in the
air which is dissolved in the water.
Fishes transferred to water from
which the air has been driven out bv
high temperature, or in which the air
absorbed by them is not replaced. are
soon suffocated. They require
aerated water to maintain life. and
they take it in constantly through their
mouths and expel it through their
gills, retaining the air. 1t follows that
if the water in lake should be COM
pletely cut off from contact with tba
air long enough to exhaust the supplv
Of air. the fish in the lake would die
It would take severe and pretty long
continued freeze to accomplish This
but it might happen, and doubtless has
frequently happened, with a small
body of water.-St Nicholas.
