TO CIRCLE THE GLOBE.
Naval Observatory VIII Send Out Sig
nails May 8.

Encouraged by the degree OF success
attending the last effort to distribute
time signals New Year eve, the naval
observatory IS preparing to make an
other attempt in the hope to snan the
globe itself. Rear Admiral Chester,
the superintendent of the observatory,
has just issued notice to all agencies
willing to cooperate that the observa-
tory proposes to send out a special
series of telegraphic time signals be
ginning at 11:55 p. m. United States
Eastern time. May 3, and ending at
midnight. This will be done at the
request of the American Railway As
sociation in connection with the Inter
national Railway Congress. which is to
meet in this city on the following day.
1t is pointed out that as an incident
to the test, if care is taken by the
telegraph companies, the signals may
serve to afford fairly accurate deter
limitations of longitude at any tele-
graph station on the continent

AN OFF DAY
At CAPITOL
Governor Stays at Home
and Legislators Re-
main Away.

Governor Carter took a day off yes
day long. He announced to Chief
Clerk Buekland that he would do this
when he went home ON Wednesday
night after the adjournment of the
Legislature = or, rather on Thursday
morning. And he advised the chief
clerk to take holiday also, which
that official did-by having a general
housecleaning in the way of shifting
furniture and indexing bills and things
and generally preparing the place to
dook as it did before the Legislature
met. This order will endure until
Monday, at least.
A few unquiet ghosts of legislators
haunted the halls of the Capitol, ap-
parently unable to keep away from the
scene of their labors, but these we.e
very few, and the clerks were having
a cleanup on their own account, get
ting ready for the extra session. For
the most part, however, the statesmen
stayed away, amusing themselves by
taking in the sights of Honolulu in
various directions. They will all be
on hand bright and early Monday
morning, for the extra session, at
which it is probable that the same Of
fcers will serve them as served during
the regular session just closed. Just
what shape the appropriation bills will
take is not yet determined, and moth
ing was done yesterday looking to a
determination. The members were all
too weary after their long siege of
Wednesday night to know what they
intended to door to care much.
The entire subject of appropriations
is to be taken up at the session to open
Monday, and there is probability
that the ordinary financial problems
viii be complicated by the County Act
situation. However, as has been sand,
the legislators were not worrying
much about this yesterday-nor about
1t was a day of rest.

It is believed that prices will still
further advance-at any rate, till the
acreage of beet sowing in April is
known. If the acreage should be very
great, prices are then expected to de-
cline.
The cause of the increased price is
variously assigned and is the subject Of
much discussion. The chief wholesale
grocery firm here attributes the in
crease to larger consumption on the
Continent and to the dry summer OF
1904. which prevented the beet from
swelling, thus causing very small
roots Another firm Indicates specuia-

BIRDS THAT EAT BOIL wEEvIL
Appetite May Aid Farmers of South
Against the Pest.

Against the rest
Birds that eat the cotton boil weevll
have been the subject of an investiga-
ton by the chief of the field forces OF
the. biological survey of the agricul-
tural department at Washington.
In prefaclng the results of his in
ouiries in Texas, Mr.. Bailey points out
that the boil weevii has been spread
ing over the southwestern cotton belt
during the last twelve years, but only
recently became so numerous as to be
pests.
Birds which at present eat sparingly
of the weevil, or ignore them entirely,
may later learn his hiding place and
develop healthy weevil appetite.
He finds that the Carolina wren, tit
lark, black crested titmouse, western
meadow lark, Florida meadow lark,
common phoebe, red wing black birds
ard other species of birds eat the
weevil.
Of the AIS birds examined by Mr..
Bailey twenty-nine were found to
have eaten weevils, the total weevils
devoured being 1872.
The assumption that the birds are
likely to exterminate the insects is
forbidden by the fact of the weevil's
spread, Mr.. Bailey says, but every
agency tending toward the weevil's
suppression is too valuable to be over
looked.

Twenty-Five members of the Nash

recent action of the council was unjust
because it raised the rates of old men

that of paying premiums and policies
of old men, for which it was intended

These lines embody a perfect commentary on
all of Mr. Douglass preposterous claims for Mr.

are absolutely void OF anything like high in

this author has produced. The thing that would
be pathetic If IT were not. as matter of fact, so
funny Is that Mr. Douglas has. all uncon-

and to explode the Watts-Dunton legend.
