RIGHT OF STUDENTS FROM ABROAD
TO VoTE.-The Attorney General has
fled an opinion that students from
without given district cannot vote
unless it is their intent to become
permanent residents OF the same. The
query was based upon the right Of
University students from abroad vot.
ing at the Seattle city election. The
answer follows, in the main, that given
in the case Of the State Penitentiary
guards at Walls Walla. The States
legal adviser holds that the question is
entirely one of fact, and If, as the stu.
dents claim, they have bona tide
intention Of making Seattle their
home, they are entitled to vote, but il
they have no such intention in good
faith they do not lose residence in the
places from which they come by reason
Of attending the State institution.

Mr.. w. +. HILL,
Leicester, England:

DEAR SIR: In reply to your letter
of Aug. 80, 1905, making inquiries re-
garding the business of our city, re-
ferred to me for answer, ! would say
that it may be embraced under the
general terms Mercantile, Commercial
and Industrial, the latter embracing
mechanical trades, agriculture and
fishing. For details read the PAM
phlet send by this mail.
LIST, There are opportunities pre-.
sented at frequent intervals, to those
who wait and keep their eyes and ears
open, to see the glimmer and hear the
rumble of passing events. They are
just as good hear as elsewhere. With
reference to wages, the trades unions
generally control that matter and the
rates are usually adjusted by the local
union. The rates collectively for
skilled labor, range from SIS TO $3.50
per month, ordinary labor from $l.50
10 50.
Cd, The cost of living is about the
same here as elsewhere, depending
somewhat upon the number OF meals
eaten daily, and whether the lodger
sleeps in the sky parlor or on the
ground floor. Take any "city" of
10000 inhabitants in Rhode Island or
the New England States, where you
have always lived" and the cost of
living, under opportunities presented,
will not vary much here.
Sd, If you are ~ years old, have .
good education, have spent ten years
in manufactures, in. Office and shop,
have thorough knowledge OF the Eng.
lish monetary system and methods Of
doing business, you are certainly we'll
equipped for graphing with the siren
uousness of life anywhere. We have q
rapidly progressive State, and if your
ambition be to "grow up" with il,
you will surely be afforded enough op.
portunity to select . pathway that
will ID adapted both to your taste and
your capacity.
As showing my appreciation of this
country (whose salient features are
outlined in the pamphlet I send,
which helped TO compile and know
to be relisble) will state 1 have lived
here over fifty years, and would not
live anywhere else.
am, very truly yours,

Another Aspirant for Osler Notoriety

"Dr." Charles Minot, Of Harvard,
seems DESTROYS OF tleeting notoriety, If
not enduring fame, from conditions Of
hls own stating, 10y the Osterian meth
od OF looping off several years OF a
period that had hitherto been consid-
cred the very prime of human life.
O-ler reduced the minimum limit to
forty years, and placed the maximum
at sixty, after which period all human
beings should be chloroformed out OF
existence.
Another sensible conclusion on this
matter follows the same lines OF logical
deduction and final conclusion as on
any other rational subject. Human
life is the result OF prenatal conditions
to some degree, and of physical devel'
opment largely. 1t is not difficult to
believe that well-ordered brain, d.
rected and sustained by pure environ
mcnts, and a stalwart system of devel-
opment may live out the full span OF
human life OF three score years and
ten, profitably to himself and the
world, while being of stunted birth,
blighted growth and hereditary faint,
may not fill the physical growth 30
much as to acquire a mental or moral
development usually accorded to ado.
lescence. Under such conditions, it is
the veriest nonsense, especially for
men Of acknowledged thought and ex.
perience, to make no better use of OBJ
servation than to follow a beaten
pathway and reject consideration OF
salient facts of existence, as to annonce
the conclusion that people can ever
become useless to themselves or the
community. The odium that WAS
heaped upon Osler, which next to
praise, is enjoyed by those who aspire
to place in the public eye, became so
marked that he attempted to pass his
statement off as joke, but with indif.
ferent success. Now Minot, Professor of
Embryology, seeks to out-Herod Herod
by limiting intellectual growth in hu-
man beings to twenty-five years. He
claims that We begin to grow before we
are born; that the infant learns more
in its first year than it learns in all its
after life; and that as soon as the
power of growth ceases, the decadence
of age sets in; that there is no period
of rest between development and de.
cline. He estimates that "Dr." Osler
placed the period OF absolute pernla'
mont fatigue altogether too late in life.
Permanent fatigue" is the period
that corresponds with Cs;ar's term OF
utter uselessness 10 ones self or others.
Such savauts become, - Osler has
found, the but for ridicuie Of all sensi-
BILE people who have their thousands

a Flo ating Safe Proposed.

About the last thing that one would
imagine could be made available for
recovery of money and other valuables
lost in shipwreck, is ponderous safe,
which by air-tight compartments is
made buoysnt enough to float on the
surface of the water, at the end of a
wire cable, 1000 feet long whereby it
may be anchored, if possible, or lowed
ashore or to the ship which RECEIVERS
it. The safe makes its own release
when the wreck sinks. Being placed
directly under the hatch it raises lev
ers by pressure which throw open the
hatch covers automatically, and it
passes out freely on its tempestuous
battle with the waves. The invention
is suggested by thought directed to
the subject of Fred Hormeck, of Brem.
erton, who has studied out the con clu-
sion that safe five feet square and
seven feet high will displace IT'S feet
OF water, which at 62 pounds per cubic
foot will amount to l0,S50 pounds
lifting force The safe weighing 400
pounds will leave $3.50 for contents
before it will sink. The safe proper is
shaped somewhat like q shell from q
cannon and will always float in an up
right position. This is covered with a
case OF SIG inch hardened steel spe.
cially made of extreme strength. Mr.
Hormeck thinks that:his device will be
the ideal means for bringing gold down
from Alaska, over the dangerous route

no matter what happens to the ship,
provided the safe is found by it's owner
and is not confscated by those beasts
OF prey, coast pirates, who will doubt
less be on the lookout for such desir-
able hotsam. The invention has been
patented, but 80 far nothing but belief
in its utility has been accorded it by
ship owners.

Commodore T. W. Hebron received a
letter from Clarence Macfarlane, Cap
tain of Hawaii's representative, La
Paloma in the coming ocean yacht race,
which tells of the trip up to San Fran
cisco by the staunch little craft The
log of the trip for which Commodore
Hebron was waiting so patiently did
not come but will probably in the next
mail from the coast on the Alameda to-
morrow.
Captain Macfarlane stated that he
arrived at San Francisco on May 13 at 3
a. m. Therefore the exact time used
in the trip was 2S days and 19 hours.
In the evening of the first day out
Captain Macfarane on going below
found that there was over two inches
of water in the cabin. The yacht was
hove to and the sails reefed and the
jib taken off The pumps were then
worked and it was found that the yacht
had to be pumped out every four hours
The next morning everything was
taken out on deck to dry. The for
ward hatch was removed and it was
found that all of the sails in the hold
were wet. The twin buckles on the
bob stay had become loose and the
bowsprit had raised three or four inch
es. AS water had access to the crack
that was the way it got in When
that was fixed it was found that the

THE MARBLEAEAD
LOST IN SHUTTLE
ALL SORTS OF WILD MISTAKES
ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS OF THE
CRUISER.

Somebody has lost the U, S. s. Mar
blehead. That is not actually piled
her up on the rocks somewhere, but
lost her in the columns of various news
papers about the country.
1t was reported some time ago that
she was to leave San Francisco to come
to Honolulu also to La Paz, Mexico. She
was also supposed TO go under sealed
orders" No advices on the score were
received by Admiral Lyon the local
naval cOmmendant, but Some letters
We're sent here for officers aboard the
vessel
Admiral Lyon noticed i'm the last
Army and Navy Journal that the Navy
Department had been quite annoyed
by a report that the vessel had been
dispatched from San Francisco under
sealed orders AS a matter of fact,
the vessel went to Mare Island In an
official list of sailings the Admiral has
received the information that the YES
sci had sailed on May 10 on cruise
She would according to the Journal, go
to Seattle along with other naval YES
sells, for the purpose of firing some
salute, possibly to participate in the
Decoration Day ceremonies. She is
evidently not coming to Honolulu.

ed the progress Of the yacht During
the last night out the forestay was car
ried away. on the whole the little
yacht made as good trip as could be
expected and no more hardships were
encountered than were looked for.
No mention was made in the letter of
meeting with Commodore Cooper
who went up from this place to San
Francisco with power from the race
committee to act in any way that he
should think best 1t is thought that
Cooper did not meet Macfarlane in San
Francisco.
Macfarlane did not state how soon he
would leave San Francisco but he need
not be i'm a hurry as the trip to San
Pedro is about the same as the trip
from here to Lahaina and about the
same kind of sailing. The trip can be
made easily in three days.
Commodore Hebron cabled this morn
ing to Alexander MacLarn the owner
of the Canadian yacht Maple Leaf
which withdrew sometime ago from
the race to try and induce him to re-
enter his yacht. 1t is not known whe-
ther he will or not as the yacht may
nave Deeil taken from Il couulJlon 10
sail after her owner had decided to
drop out on account of the San Fran
cisco disaster
The yachts Lurline. Anemone and Ia
PalOma will sail from San Pedro for
this port on June H. Their coming
will be awaited with great interest by
the people of Hawaii
Just what steps will be taken by the
race committee to entertain the yacht
ing men while here is not known but
it is certainty that their money will
be of no value as long as they are in
Hawaii.
