Splendid Instruments.

College of Hawaii has, and that will ,bs
| installed in the new observatory to bs
| erected, consists of:
| One slx-inch telescope of the best
French make. This telescope is mount
| ed on an iron pillar which is to be
| located on concrete foundation thus
| giving it absolute stability. This tele
scope is equipped with driving clock
connected with the polar axis and fur
nishes motion in right ascension. The
motion in declination is effected by a
handle carried to the eye-end of the
| telescope and in convenient reach fol-
the observer. The telescope also has
| stellar and polar circles with finely
graded scales and the entire instrument
| is nicely balanced so that it's axis NAV
be changed with very slight force. The
eye-end of the telescope is furnished
| with large cylinder moved by rack and
| pinion which carries the sliding tubes
with the various oculars and mechanism
for observing the sun. The instrument

smaller instrument than the telescope.
being three and three-quarter inches in
diameter, is most accurately mounted
and possesses meridian circles and polar
axis, finely graduated and with reading
telescopes. The eye-piece is furnished
with the necessary micrometer for ac-
curately determining the time and posi-
ton of stellar bodies. The instrument

In addition to the telescope and
transit the college equipment also com
prises triple register to which will be
attached the various meteorological in
struments including rain gauge, wealth

There is no reason, also, why staff
with drop-ball for the determination

If sufficient funds are available. it
would be feasible to make the staff
high enough and the ball large enough

OBSERVATORY
SITE SOUGHT
Professor Gilmore Describes the
Splendid instruments to
Be Mounted.

The site at first proposed for the
Kaimuki observatory of the College of
Hawaii has been found unavailable,
and yesterday committee of those in
terested went to that section of the
city TO select another. The committee
has not as yet reported, but it is be-
heved that suitable site has been
found on the lip of the Kaimuki era
ter, on land privately owned but which
can be secuted for the purposes of the
observatory without cost.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the size and value of
the telescope to be mounted and the
various other instruments that are TO
go with it to make up the observatory
equipment. Some are laboring under
the impression that the glass IS some
thing along the toy order, or, at least,
nothing to amount to anything. To do
away with that idea, Professor Gilmore
has written the following for The Ad-
Vertiser:

REPTILES. BATTLE IN BOAT
Held the Crew at Bay, but Finally
Are Crushed to Death by
Engine.

Radby, Pa.-Henry Williamson and
George Marker, owners of a 16-foot
launch, had thrilling experience on
Darby creek at the moment thun-
der storm broke in all it's fury, when
two f0ur-foot water snakes crawled
into the craft over the Prov and be-
gan battle royal within a few inches
OF the motor. The contest of the
snakes was so fierce that Williamson
and Marker were compelled to crowd
back as far in the stern of the boat
as possible, To make matters worse,
they were not able to reach the motor
TO check its speed, but were CON-
PEELED to remain in the stern, steering
their craft during the storm. There
was no boat hook aft by which they
could give battle to the two fighting
reptiles and for over five minutes they
were compelled to watch the furious
writhing and flashing of the reptiles.
Finally they got too near the motor
and the next moment both reptiles
were crushed in the rapidly revolving
wheel.
It Is supposed that one Of the rep
tltes was in pursuit of the other and
that the one pursued sought refuge
IN the launch, where it was immedi
ately followed by the other one.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou,
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
