THE MALIHINI CHRISTMAS TREE

Most Of the young peoples societies
connected with the churches have en-
deavored to secure the attendance OF
a larger percentage of young men at
their services, the claim being made
that the efficiency of the church would
be increased many fold if the male ele-
ment could be induced to attend in
proportionate numbers with the far
sex. From Manila, Philippine Islands,
comes the news that the situation IS
reversed there. A chapter of the Ep-
worth League having a large attend
ance shows an attendance, on the
average, of eleven young men to three
Young women This is said to be due
to the fact that when the homeless
young men from this and other lands
wind up in the hospitals, the young
women of the League do effective
work in soliciting their attendance at
church services upon recovery.

have shown that these colors and flaw

Cal, Aug. 26.-Keen rivalry has de-
veloped among astronomers of the
world and all through the Night
every available telescope is sweeping
the heavens to gain the first sight of
the returning Halley's comet which
is sweeping in through space, accord
ing to Prof. Heber D. Curtis, who
has returned from Chilli to be the
first. he hopes, to discover the comet
Owing to the high power comet
seeking glasses on Mount Hamilton,
the Lick astronomers expect to an
nounce the return of Halley's comet
after its IS year absence from the
solar system. Every scientist and
attache of the observatory is ready
and waiting to aid in photographing
the comet, which will be the first
large one to come into view since
the camera and spectroscope have
been applied to the study of these
mysterious visitors
Halley's comet is remarkable in
that it's history can be traced to the
year 500, and it is believed by some
to have been the Star of Bethlehem"
that appeared to the magi, although
it's history prior to 500 is recorded
only in alleged annals of Chinese as
tronomers.
In the years between 1895 and
1905, of SO comets discovered by
the astronomers of the world, II
were first sighted by Lick observers.

Rainsford says he himself pever had
any scruples about shooting these
beasts, they are SO dangerous and
cruel. In telling Of how he killed his
first lion he wrote in Worlds Work:
The lion Of my dreams he seemed
big and black. with no common black
ness. surely the true king Of that wild
and beautiful place. Slowly. on and
on, till in the middle of the narrow,
green. grassy aisle he stood. the sun
shining full on his magnificent coat
and the dark. rich. low hanging name
that covered his shoulders. Then
slowly, carelessly. he turned his broad
black head toward me and shifted the
tainted air that drifted down to him.
"A deep. grunting rear answered my
shot and quickly he swung round his
body toward where 1t came from. AS
he did SO ! fired very quickly again,
just as fast as I could move my Maui
ser's bolt. Then he saw me and with
another deep grunt came straight for
where-I sat with great, long bounds.

where the lion stood / measured care

The greater part of the Okanogan
valley lies at an elevation of less

climate particularly adapted to fruit
growing. with conditions similar to
those at Chelan, Wenatchee, Yakima

Extensive mineral wealth and for

appeal strongly to homeseekers and
