Bishop supported this plan, and it was
approved.
Secretary w. o. Smith gave notice
of and introduced an amendment to
the bye-laws of the association provid-
ing that in the temporary absence of a
trustee, he may be represented by the
person to whom he has given his proxy
as a trustee de jure-the idea being
to ensure a quorum of working trus-
tees at each and every meeting.
The adoption of this amendment
seemed to be urgent on account of
the number of trustees absent, and it
was accepted without argument.
The matter of filling the board of
trustees for the purpose of electing Of
ficeTs and transacting other business
came up and w. o. Smith suggested
as a good way to accomplish the OBJ
ject that the persons holding proxies
for absent members be elected full
members temporarily in place of the
absentees, they to retire upon the re-
turn of such absentees to the islands
On this basis the following were sub.
stituted: J. P. Cooke, for II. P. Bald.
win; A. W. r. Bottomley, for S. NJ
Damon; ]. w. Waldron, for F. A
Schaefer. ]. NJ. Dowsett left no proxy
at all.

United States, which was then about
to expire. The appeal met with in
