HOME OF THE SEAL.
built Under Ice and of Same Shape
as Eskimo House.
From st. Nicholas.

Although the seals ponds its life in and
under the water, 1t is an air breathing
animal and cannot live for any great
length OF time without air. As winter
spreads sheets Of ice over the fast freezing
Arctic ocean the zeal breaks hole in the
Ice over the water where It lives. This
hole ii is very careful to keep open all
winter long, breaking away each new
crust as it forms, 30 that, no matter how
thick the ice becomes, the animal always
finds there breathing place and pas
sage to the surface OF the ice above, where
ii can get fresh air and take nap, for it
does not sleep in the water.
Then again, although the seal can exist
for q time out OF the water, II has to seek
its food in the sea; so that without both
land Tor ice) and water 1t could not sur
vive the Arctic winter. How, after once
leaving its breathing hole in search Of
the fish upon which it feeds, the seal can
find It's way in the dark under the ice, .
yard In thickness and spreading over
many miles, back again to its hole no one
knows; but 1t Is not the less certain that
when 1t needs air 1t swims as straight to
its breathing place a. . bird could fly
through the air to its nest.
When the seal Is about to build her
house, she first makes the breathing hole
larger, ana then, by means OF her strong
claws and fiippers, or fore paws, scoops
out the snow, taking it down with her
a. H.. t. ka ~ .
domelike apartment Of the same shape,
though not the same size, as that built by
the Eskimo. Unlike the huts built by
man, however, It cannot be seen from
without, for above it stretches the long
slope OF untrodden snow, and the baby
seal, for whose comfort the house was
built, and its mother are safe from any
foes that cannot find where the house Is
by the sense OF smell.
The house, however, Is sometimes dis
covered by the great polar hear, who,
when his nose has told him that he is up
on the top OF the seal house, leaps in the
air, and, bringing his ut together, comes
down with all his great weight, breaking
through the roof and catching the baby
seal before it can get away. Hooking one
OF his sharp claws into its little ripper,
the bear then does very cruel thing. He
let's the cub down the breathing hole, SC
as to lead the anxious mother to come to
1t as it struggles in the water. When she
does so, he slowly draws it up again, and,
as she follows it strikes and secures her
with the claws OF his other foot.
Very few Of these seal houses are found
out, however, either by men or beasts OF
prey; and they last until the feeble Arctic
summer partly melts the snow that COW
cred and concealed them. OF course by
this time the baby seal has grown large
and strong enough to take care OF itself,
and lives great way from the place OF it,
birth.

HOUSE WANTS
POI ANALYZED

A resolution was this morning in
troduced by Makekau in the house and
at once unanimously adopted for the
investigation of poi, as to whether or
not it is capable of carrying cholera
infection, or if it does carry disease.
1t is whispered that w. ]. Coelho is
the inspirer of the measure, which
sets forth:
Whereas, The prevalence of chol-
era has caused various opinions that
poi is source of infection, which
created great fear in many people,
and no official medical statement has
yet been issued to the effect that poi
has been found infected or not, and
it is in the interest Of public safety
that the community be informed,
Therefore, resolved, That the Board
of Health is hereby respectfully re-
quested to forthwith furnish this
House with an authentic analysis OF
poi, as now permitted to be manufac'
tured, sold and delivered within the
limits of the city under quarantine:
also to submit the result of the exam
nations and analysis if any had, OF
poi samples during months last past
and also to inform this House, wheth-
er or not, from the results of such
analysis can say that poi is a source
of contagion or not"

Hawaii County Would
Return The Schools

In a resolution of the Hawaii county
supervisors, passed March 1, relating
to control and maintenance of school
buildings of Hawaii county, the super
visors of the Big Island petition the
legislature &to take back under it's
own control the maintenance of
school buildings, or that a larger ap.
portionment of the taxes be paid to
the counties, it now being impossible
for the county to maintain such build
ings as now exist, much less to erect
new buildings. The school buildings
of Hawaii were in bad condition
two years ago. The board feel thaJ

FOR THE ROADS

Bail forfeitures and fines in the po-

the sum of 1914, of which forty-one
Chinese from Waipahu contributed IS
each. These were arrested for playing
che-fa and fantan, and were admitted
bail of IS which they forfeited rather
than make the journey into town to
defend themselves. A fine of 800
was imposed on Alama for selling IL
quor without a license, and there
were three fines of SO for over-indul-
gence in liquor.
