THE ROBIN AS A BAROMETER.
Singing ForeteiIs Rain in Summer,
Fine Weather in Winter.

Fine Weather in Winter.
Nobody has enjoyed this summer
more than the robin. 1t is nod claimed
for him as the most English Of all
our native birds that he is ahead even
Of Englishmen in his knowledge OF
English weather.
Every one will have noticed how
the garden robin sings II the year
round in spite of rain and frost and
snow, when no other bird except the
wren is bold enough to keep him com
pany. A correspondent carries this
common observation a point further
by the discovery that his particular
robin sings not in spite Of rain, but
because rain is coming.
There is no reasonable doubt that
this is actually the case for part OF
the year. Nearly all birds sing with
extra gusto both when rain is threat
ened and when it is just over. but
the robin has no fellow in his abso-
lutte delight in foul weather, the missel
thrust excepted. This is partly be-
cause he is supreme as an insect feed
er, and insects are always moved by
the approach of rain. Food is then
plentiful near the ground, from which
the robin is never far removed, and,
unlike other birds, he is stirred to
song much more by sheer pleasure in
living than by mere love emotions.
1t follows that in summer and au-
tumn the approach Of rain can often
be foretold of the eno~gy C T." roh-

MARIANA To BRING
THE kILTIEs On TIME

A cable received from the Office of
the Canadian-Australian Steamship
Company at Victoria, states that in
structions were given the Captain of
the Mariana to arrive in Honolulu on
Friday noon to enable the "Kilties"
to give two concerts on the Afternoon
and evening of that day, so those who
were in doubt as TO this need have no
further hesitaney IN the matter.
The ''Kilties'' are great organfza.
ton. Besides the band which is the
pride of all Canada, they have the
famous Clan tombstone troupe of dan
GERS late of the Crystal Palace Lon
don; The Royal Scottish Bagpipers
and great choir of twenty voices
They give a concert and vaudeville
show combined and viii give exactly
the same program as given before the
King of England.
The ''Kilties'' created a furore in
New York and other American cifIes
and when there were recognized as tie
highest salaried International feature
then touring the United States.
Don t forget that they viii give two
concerts in Honolulu at Opera House.
Get your seats before it is too late.

UNCLE SANS DECORATIONS.
Orders of Knighthood Do Not Carry
Titles.

Uncle Sam IS not averse to bestowing
decorations. While the constitution pro-
hibits government officers from accept
ing orders from foreign governments,
the president has the power to award
insignia which mean considerably more
than most OF the stars, garters, etc, of
the old world. These are medals for
bravery.
Besides the medals for conspicuous
bravery in battle, and the decorations
for hfe-saving on the water, the chief
executive can now honor men and WON,
en- who display heroism on the railroad
lines of the country.
Award Of the decorations is made by
the chief executive on recommendation
from the interstate commerce commits
sion. Applications must be aceompa MED
by at1idaT1fs from eye witnesses of the
heroic deeds, and they must be approx
ed by a committee Of FIVE Of the com
missioners.
A bronze medal and a button of gold
and enamel are the insignia given.
The medal Is about as big as a silver
dollar. On one side-the diverse

there is some disappointment or at

realized. Certain lines of business
reaped a considerable benefit from II,

benefits were confined to somewhat
narrow limits. The eurio stores, / be-

proportion to the number Of men and
ships. as these same lines Of business
have benefited when other squadrons

that liberty ended at l o'eloek in the
