The ceremony was a novel one to
most of the guests. and certainly an
interesting one to all, especially to the
large assemhlage of naval officers.
Captain, or rather, Admiral Lyon, has
been one of the very popular officers
known in Honolulu since the middle of
the eighties, when he was a lieutenant
and lieutenant commander. and the
many oid-time friends who were gath
cred in the vicinity of the flagstaff
yesterday felt that it was proper that
he should be created an Admiral while
again on duty in this port.

a wireless message was received by
the Board of Agriculture yesterday
morning from Fire Warden McDougall
Of South Kona, to the fleet that there
was a fire in the small koa above the
forest in South Kona, at point some
where near Kalahiki.
Chief Forester Hosmer was at Wal
amaze when the message came to hand
SO Executive officer Holloway wired
back to, McDougall to do what he
could to check the flames and to get
the property owners interested to take
action
Mr.. Holloway then sought out F. S.
Dodge, the superintendent of the
Bishop Estate, as he gathered from
the wireless message that the fire was
on the Bishop Estate or in it's vicin-
ity. He wanted to see if the estate
people were willing to join with him
in his ire-fighting operations.
Mr. Dodge, however, had received
information, that the property of the
Bishop Estate was not threatened by
the conf1agration.
At 4:45 p. m Executive officer Hol-
loway received another wireless mes
sage. from Hookena, stating that the
property owners had taken no steps
to check the fire, which was spread
ing. The confiagration was said to be
in land at Honakua.

Each days cablegramS make it more
apparent that the condition of affairs
in Russia does not change for the bet
ter. The afternoon cables yesterday
reported that two men had robbed
the Mutual Credit Society's bank at
Moscow of S425,000 and effected their
escape. The cable yesterday morning
said that De Witte, the premier, was
on the point of giving up the task he
had undertaken-the task of saving
both Russia and the Car.
Sebastopol was the scene of severe
fighting between mutineers in both the
army ard navy in November, 1905, the
military garrison in the city cooperat-
ing with the mutineering ships of the
Black Sea fleet and bidding defiance
to the loyal troops of the Czar for sew
eral days. A battle was fought be-
tween the land batteries, manned by
Cossacks and the fleet, the ships under
command of Lieutenant Schmidt be-
ing defeated.
Yesterday the cables told of the exc
cution of Schmidt for his share in the
revolt, although it was stated at the
time of his surrender that none of the
mutineers would receive capital pun
ishment
Following the Sebastapol outbreak
came others in Kieff, Warsaw and
other cities. street fighting and mutiny
extending even into the capital itself.

The W. C. T. u propose to get busy
from now on and take an active part
in the approaching political campaign.
THE political pot is beginning to boil
and bubble,'' said one of the members
yesterday at the regular meeting of the
Union, held in the lecture room of the
Central Union church, "and it is time
the w. c. T. U. began to bubble and

This remark was enthusiastically ap-
proved of by the other members pres

was instructed to find out the lines
along which the ladies should conduct
their part of the campaign with the
greatest advantage to the temperance
cause.
There were less than score present

called the meeting to order and read
the opening Bible passages. This was
followed by an address on the accom-
plishments of temperance workers in
the Union during the past five years
The influences at work had prevented
the repeal of the anti-canteen law, a
fight against the sale of patent medi-
cines made up wholly or partly of alco-

Two-thirds of the State of Indiana is
without legalized liquor dealer
The State of Tennessee has only six
teen places where liquors may be law
fully sold
The great State of Texas has 141
counties which are dry under local OPP
tior.
In the other Southern States, with a
population of more than twentv-seven
millions of people, more than nineteen
million are living where no saloons are
permitted.
Of the I05 counties in Kansas only
twenty-one have any paupers. Twenty

FIying a beautiful silk five-hundred-
-fifty-four feet homeward- bound
pennant, as well as a red triangular flag
at the main truck, the United States
battleship Oregon came into port yes
ferday forenoon from Yokohama after
four and half years service in the
Far East waters, and in a few days she
will depart for Mare Island, discharge
her ammunition, and then proceed to
Bremerton on Puget Sound, there to go
out of commission. Once the pride of
the nation, the Bulldog of the Navy, -
as officers and men lovingly termed the
fighter when her guns shot fast and
true in the Spanish war, the Oregon is
now far from being formidable. She is
like a wounded bulldog. Her teeth are
not so sharp and to fight in her present
condition would cripple her. And so
she is going home to 'recuperate IN
one of Uncle Sam s best navy doehs.

fight off Santiago harbor, Cuba, made
the Oregon the most famous warship of

seriously Gripping the ship. 1t was or,
dered some time ago that NONE Of
THE l3-INCH GUNS SHOULD BE
FIRED EXCEPT IN CASE OF AC-
TUAL NECESSITY UNTIL PERMA-
NENT REPAIRS ARE MADE.
For this reason the Oregon s useful
ness on the Asiatic station was at
minimum. The statement that the Ore
gon s big guns should not be used ex-
cept to defend herself has formed part
of report sent to Washington some
months ago, and for that reason 1t was
decided to withdraw the famous vessel
from active participation in naval mat
ters and send her to the dry-dock where
once again she may be put IN shape
to take her position as defender OF
the flag.

The Oregon arrived at an opportune
moment. While she was being moorea
at the naval dock the ceremony OF
hosting the rear-admiraf' s nag IN honor
of Captain Lyon s advancement to the
grade of admiral was about to begin
at the Naval Station. As the flag
reached the peak of the flagstaff
salute of thirteen guns was hred by the
naval station battery. An instant af-
terward the sides of the battleship
were enveloped in smoke as she also
saIuted the flag with thirteen guns.

The Birds Mt Dinner.

It we notice carefully the beaks Of
all the birds we see, it will help us, by
indicating their habits of feeding, to
locate them in their families and thus
lead us to their correct names. All the
sparrows have short, stout beaks, well
suited to cracking open seeds and
grain, which are their usual food. The
thrushes have a curved BILL convenient
for holding worms and digging in the
soil. They find most of their food on
the ground, poking among the dead
leaves and rubbish for grubs, beetles
and larvae. Our robins, which are true
thrushes, do valuable spring work in
the garden and lawn pulling worms
from the soil. Have you ever watched
robin at work? How he tugs and
pulls when the worm is long and does
not come easily! There are an energy
and a certain business air about him
when at work which are very interest
Ing. The tiny humming birds, with
their long, needle shaped bills, are
we'll equipped for securing honey from
the very heart of the trumpet flowers
and hOneysuckles. They find numerous
small insects within the flower as we'll
