lie Education associations. In Churchill
house last evening Charles H. Morse
secretary OF the Massachusetts Indus
trial Education commission, discussed
the general topic OF the conference
The Relation OF the Public School to
Industrial Efficiency" and gave a
thoughtful and comprehensive talk on
tho matter. as viewed In the light of
modern conditions. laying special stress
upon the need OF more technical train
ing in public schools.

schools of Brookline, Mass, presided
Charles II. Philbrick. president OF the

ton, welcomed the visitors TO the city.

by James Mckee and family, was badly

PENSIONS FOR HORSES

Somehow we are not wildly enthusiastic
over the plan of "pensioning" the horses
worn out In the service OF the city. When
n man who has long been served by a
horse takes measures to give the animal
a comfortable old age, with little or moth
ing TO do, instead OF selling II for few
dollars to somebody who will utilize the
remnants OF It's strength by working II
till It dies, the display OF sentiment Is re-
garded by us all as very pretty and COM
mendable. But such a man uses his own
money in proving his tenderness OF heart,
and only the sternest OF economists would
blame him for paying the price he does
for saving from injury the sensibilittes of
himself. That is really what he does
save, foS Of course the horse knows moth
ing of the fate he has escaped and there
fore is not grateful for the payment OF a
debt OF which he has no falntest COM
prehension.
But when city goes In for this form
of rather morbid senumentality IL Is a
different matter We are supposed 10 have
and TO enforce laws which guard all
horses, young and old, from overwork
and maltreatment. IL those laws are en-
forced that pays all the obligation we
really owe to horses, or. rather. TO our
selves In regard to horses. and II would
be pretty hard to find sound excuses for
"pensionlng" lot OF horses simply be-
cause they had worked for the city. draw
ing fire engines or otherwise.
However. IL is a complex question, and
something could be said on the other side.
We are not opposing the new law, mind
only wondering II II is not a little alb
surd and nonsensical and-sappy.

clearly shown. when she made tho run
back up the course against the current IN

From these three runs a deduction or
mean rate was made. and II proved TO be

FAST ALI.-AROUND RECORDS.
The Octopus has now completed all her
speed runs, for which all her records are
remarkable. On the surface her maxi
mum was 1157 knots and her mean 1l.o.
Awash she made a maximum OF ll.G
knots and a mean OF g&
After her submerged run the Octopus
was put through several tests which came
under the head OF manoeuvring or hand
ling. The conditions require that the time
be taken in diving to certain depths and
returning TO the surface, and in this Sc
ries the Octopus made two porpoise dives.
She went down at eight degree angle
to n depth OF 26 feet I'm a fraction less
than 40 seconds. Then she returned TO the
surface so that an observation II five
seconds could be made from her conring
tower, and made another dive and an
Nplhiiti'ho
and in the same time. The best previous
record for such diving was As seconds,
made by the submarine boat Fulton, OF
the Octopus type.

day will be from the dock at the torpedo
station to Prudence light. back 20 the
north end of the range to Prudence hight

The Octopus is fitted with the subma-
rine signal system and its usefulness as
adapted to submarine boats was clearly
demonstrated. All the while she was run
ming under water the Octopus kept up
communication with her tender, the Star
ling. under which a signal bell was sus-
pended. Each time the Octopus reached
the end OF her run she was notified by
the Starting and she Immediately broach-

HIS MIND
IS CHANGED
Senator Smith Favors
Honolulu Municipal
Measure.

Senator w. o. Smith, referring to the
meeting for Thursday evening on the
Municipal bill, said:
cat first 1 had no hesitation in de-
claring myself as opposed to the bill
for a municipal government for the
City and County of Honolulu.
"But on further consideration l am
inclined to think 1t would be a good
thing, placing Honolulu somewhat on
a par with the City and County of San
Francisco. The plan has worked well
in Denver, Portland and other cities.
"A great disadvantage Of our pres
ent county system, as applied to the
city of Honolulu, is that the Board of
Supervisors with no mayor is a kind
of hoteh-poteh. 1t has neither head
nor tail.
s.On first consideration ! had great
prejudice against the idea, thinking for
one thing it would multiply offices.
Looking at the matter further, how
ever. do not see why it should greatly
increase the number Of officials.
Eyes, the salary Of the mayor may
be too high, but the question Of sal
aries is one of detail which can be
regulated by the Legislature.
''Now that we have county govern
ment anyway it appears to me, while
am not entirely committed 20 the
bill as it stands. that a municipal form
Of the government would be an inn
provement. At present you can not
put your hand on where responsibility
lies. The city requires head

lature TO confer on counties the fune-

lature could give the Board Of super
visors the authority TO prescribe the

respect to its ordinances.
