CALLED NOW
LEAH HOME
Annual Meeting of Home
for lncurables
Society.

The society controlling the affairs Of
the Leahi Home, which is the proper
official designation of the so-caiied
Home for Incurables at Kaimuki met
yesterday afternoon at the offices of
Z. H. Davies & Co., and elected the
following officers for the ensuing year:
President, Alexander Young; first vice
president, w. o. Smith; second vice
president, c. H. Atherton; treasurer.
Allen w. T. Bottomley; secretary. T.
Give Davies; auditor, J. P. Cooke
The annual report of the trea surer
showed that the income of the Leahi
Home for the year just closed amount
ed to $l2,S25.U, and the expenditures
during the same period We're 81, 7S3. II.
leaving balance on hand unexpend-
ed OF Sl042. The home has taken care
Of an average of thirty three patients a
month during the year, of whom TWEEN
ty-Seven We're free patients and six
paying, Or partly paying. AS a matter
CT fact, the income actually belonging
TO the year 1868 was only sufficient for
the care of twenty-six patients per
month, but the difference was made up
fl ON the amount received from paying
patients, and the balance of the sub
sidy due by the government for the
previous year. The estimated income
OF the home for the year 1906 will be
ten thousand and seventy dollars,
which will enable the institution 20
take care of tWenty-seven free pa
tients per month.
The report further shows that the
number OF patients in the home on
the first day of January last was
twenty-five. There were admitted dur
ing the year fifty-two patients. Twenty
We're discharged, and there were twen-
ty-five deaths during the year
The value of the hospital endowment
and equipment is placed at $124 651. ~
There are forty-four beds in the home,
OF which from thirty-three to thirty
six are in constant use. The accom-
modations could easily be extended to
sixty-two beds, if the institution had
the necessary funds for taking care OF
the patients.
DR.. A. n. Sinclair, physician for the
home, also submitted his annual re-
port, which concludes as follows: ''I

SOLOIS1S FOR THE
SYMPHONY CONCERT

morrow evening at the Opera House
viii be Miss Maud Kinney, pianist, and
Miss Drusilla Marx, vocalist
Miss Maud Kinney has recently re-
turned from Europe, where she has
studied under the best masters, in
Dresden and other cities. Her tech
nfQue is fauItless SO pianists are look
ing forward with interest to her in
depreciation of Chopin's b. Minor
Scherzo. Very few persons are aware
that this composition of Chopin's was
inspired by a verse of Robt. Schu
Inann's. which will be quoted on the
program. a rough translation is as
follows: How shall Sincerity be
clothed, when Jest is darldy veiled?"
The part of Siebel in Faust is
favorite one with Miss DrusiIla Marx,
as she sang this part in London with
great success. 1t will be a pleasure
to hear her dramatic voice accom-
panied by full orchestra.
Some of the best soIoists in the city
are included in the chorus of men who
sing in the double quartet. Their first
song is a musical setting of Mrs.
Heman's poem: THE Rock Beside the
Sea" Their second song is The Wan
dering Singers Patrol" by Willis
Clark.
The Symphony Society string quar-
tet will play the Allegro con brio from
Beethoven's quartet number one, a
classical composition rarely played by
amateurs on account of its difficulty.

not the slightest doubt. Mr.. Mahan
sat in his office at No. 1893 Lake street
this afternoon and detailed with serene
confidence just how he intends to nav
igate the air a distance of 800 miles in
II hours or less.
Il have gone to the creatures of the
air-to the birds-to learn the secret
of flying he said THE man who
does not stick close to the, lessons of
nature in aerial navigation is bound
to fail. And what do 1 find when +
look at the birds? First OF all, and l
OclISNS tie greatest REQUISITE " SUI
cessful flying, is unerring equilibrium
Add to this the necessary ascensional
and propulsve power, dirigibility and
precautions against accident and the

gas holder, all the gravity pull lead
ing to a central point of the machine
and directly under the propeller wings
This essential assured, I can give my
whole attention to the matters of
buoyancy, propulsion and direction.
Naturally, those who undertake to
fly through the air wish to be fortified
against accident that would send them
crashing to the earth My plan is to
have a gas holder of sufficient buoy
earth's gravity on the machine and
whatever load it carries. The other )
per cent, OF course, would be met by
the wings of the machine in motion.
In case anything should happen to the
engine which operates the wings (thesc
wings being at once filters and pro-
pellers) the 95 per cent of resistance
inherent in the gas would allow the
machine to settle to the earth SO
gently that no injury to the aeronaut
could result. In such an emergency
the wings themselves would be used as
still further breaking the
force of the drop. If the machinery
and the gas holder should meet with
accident simultaneously there would
be more serious trouble, but such q
would be very remote.
What is the general principle OF
buoyancy, propulsion and dirigibility

While carrying on some excavations

Sauvageot, a well-known French anti
quarian, has discovered a love-Ietter
which is seven hundred years old. 1t
was written by the knight Jean de
Gisors to his lady, Alice de Lisle In
his letter the knight declares for all
the world to know that he has wor-
SHIPPED the fair Lady Alice from afar,
that never had she given him any right
to declare his love, but that her image
has been his guiding star for years
and that now, on the eve of battle, he

Apparently the damsel never got the

When you sick in some part OF your body 1t IS
Because some organ is not doing its work properly;
Every organ of the body is absolutely controlled by
the
Weak run down" nerves tell of their condition by
stopping the proper action of some organ, or OF
several organs, of the body.
Medical has for the past seventeen years agreed
with the teachings of Prof Edward E. Phelps OF Dart
mouth University.
Prof Phelps was the first physician to openly declare
twenty years ago that the health OF the human BODY
depends entirely upon the health of the nerves:
Prof. Phelps formulated the prescription OF Paines
Celery Compound The first druggist that this pre-.
scription was taken man by the name OF
Paine. One of the principal ingredients OF the pre-
scription is the seed of the celery plant.
After two years trial of the prescription by Prot
Phelps and a number of the leading Massachusetts
physicians decided to place this prescription be-
fore the public
The formula was sent every registered physician
in the United States The prescription was named
Pane's Celery Compound and one of the largest and
oldest manufacturing chemists in the country Wells,
Richardson Co., of Burlington, W.T. undertook its pro-
duction.

riculture has suggested as satisfac-
tory means of separating light from
heavy seed the use Of a current of air
as follows.
A simple and effective device for the
purpose Is shown In the figure. The
material necessary for constructing
this machine can be obtained by to-
bacco growers from almost any chem
ical supply house. The foot bellows
(A) Is connected by means Of rubber
tube OBJ to the valve tube &C.. The
glass tube (D) Is fitted with a rubber
cork (E), IN which the valve tube 10
inserted. The top OF the cork Is COW
cred with q piece of finely woven
Rauze In order to prevent the seeds
from entering the valve tube. About
an ounce Of seed for separation Is plac-
ed in the glass tube, and a current OF
air Is injected by means OF the foot
bellows. The strength Of this current
must be regulated by the valve 90 50
that only the dirt, char and light seed
will be blown out of the top Of the
tube. 1t is advisable to screen out all
Of the large particles Of hulis and trash
before putting the seed in the tube.
1t is claimed to be easily within the
reach of every tobacco grower to select
his seed plants in the manner outlined
and to thereby improve his crop with
out any extra expense and very little
labor.
