Grafton. Then on the return journey
these are the first to start. It has
been often said that those birds which
so farthest north to breed are those
which go farthest south to winter. But
Pycraft contends that this is only true
of species, and not of individuals.
AS a complete explanation Of mi
grafton, the above theory seems to fail
in not explaining why the squeezing
out process has not produced migration
on north and south lines among our
resident birds, such as larks, thrushes,
starlings, etc. Nor does it seem to
explain those great east and west
movements of these and
other species. No wholly satisfactory
explanation of the origin of migration
has, in fact, been yet brought forward,
and the complete solution may require
n combination of existing theories in
which Pycraft's interesting suggestions
may take their place.-London Globe.

A NEW THEORY OF
BIRD MIGRATION.

In a recent lecture at the Royal
Institution w. P. Pycraft has brought
forward a new theory of the origin
CT migration. There are, he points out
in the first place, a number of species
in which migration is not possible.
There are those birds which have be-
come adapted to particular food sup
ply only occurring in a limited area.
Such birds obviously cannot overstep
the bounds of their food supply. AS
examples, of such species, the toucan
hornbill and birds of paradise are
cited
On the other hand, birds which feed
on worms, mollouks and insects, may
gradually extend their range. .Migra-
ton with them, in the first instance,
is a sort of overlooking phenomenon.
thus the younger birds are driven
further north year by year, as the suit
able nesting areas are seized upon and
defended by the others. Finally they
are forced into those northern regions
which the cold renders uninhabitable
IN winter Thus, after the breeding sea-
son they are driven south in search
Of food and warmth. At the return of
the breeding season the competition
for food, combined with the desire to
return to their nesting places of last
year, will carry them north again.
Again the winter overcrowding of the
original area of the species will drive
some still further south. These also
would 60 north in spring to their old
breeding sites, and so acquire the habit
of migration.
Thus, according to Pycraft, it is not
the breeding instinct, not the search
for fCod, or, as some have suggested,
the desire of longer daylight That
drives the birds north in spring; it is
the press of numbers. They are, so
to speak, squeezed out, and the migra-
tion becomes a habit. The birds which
go farthest north in spring are thus,
according to Pycraft, the youngest gen

THE THEATERS
Improvement in orpheum Show.

w OIpUGuUl 9uOWs
There was decided change in the
production of Away from Broadway"
at the New Orpheum Theater last
night. The faults observed in the first
nights production had been carefully
noted, and the necessary alterations
we're made. This necessitated a lit
tie re-casting. The effects obtained
were much better, and the audience
showed it's appreciation. Those who
witnessed the production last night
stated that it was a good show.
Tomorrow night "An American Citi-
zen" will be produced. This is said to
be a more suitable play for the COM
bination than the current piece. The
leaders have far better opportunities
tc show their abilities, and it would
seem safe to predict that it will be a
success throughout. Miss Julia VOL
colt, who was such a decided hit in
Away from Broadway" has a part
that will suit her even better than
the present production. 1t would
seem that the company was unfor-
tunate in it's first nights selection.
The BiioU.
The Bijou received fair share of
patronage last night, for notwithstand-
ing the presence of two strong coun-
ter attractions, there was an almost
crowded house. The show, of course,
is a good one from the start to the
finish The Reece Trio are increasing
in popularity each night, and last
evening went as strong as ever. The
feature of the turn was a saxaphone
solo by the male member, while La
Petite Laurie's contortions were also
appreciated. There has been a change
in their program, and all are playing
new music.
Johnson & Wells, the colored team,
have thoroughly established them
selves. Both went asst night with the
selves. Both went last night with the
from their initial appearance, and the
was unbounded. These
people have been a decided success,
and their popularity shows no signs OF
abating.
The Boardman Sisters in their
tough act showed an improvement
over previous efforts, and they went
we'll last night.

There was a good crowd at the EN-
pire last evening This theater is I'M
doubtedly popular, for the class of bill
being submitted is an excellent one. |
Barnes & Robinson are pair of |
splendid performers, who never fail to |
raise laughs in their own inimitabe |
manner of joshing each other, and oc-
a conspicuous member of |
the audience.
Gorham & Phillips are increasing in
popularity each evening, and deserv-
eddy so. This is a clever combination,
and they have the merit of introducing
a lot of new stuff, feature that is al
ways appreciated in Honolulu. The
lady member has some attractive

mere sake of change. So many
strange and doubtful experiments are
being undertaken that we shall end
by finding ourselves overwhelmed by
their very multiplicity and impracti-
cability The minds of the people are
being filled with all sorts of idealistic
theories, beautiful in promise but in
effective in performance. Every
self-constituted reformer brings to
self-constituted reformer brings to the
when the work shall be completed
our scheme of government will be as
bizarre as the old-fashioned crazy
quilt of our grandmothers. It is high
time for a reaction to that ancient
but discredited common sense which
thinks before it acts instead of re
penting afterwards.
"The value of a remedy in politics,
as in medicine, is to be determined
by its efficiency as cure, not by the
name which it's compounders have
caused to be blown in the bottle or
the promises they have made in their
advertising circulars. Between the
political quack, who thinks only Of
himself, and the political zealot, who
does not think at all, we are in grave
danger of having all the stability and
sanity ground out of our institutions.
What we need, in my Judgment, IS
not so much the adoption of new,
experimentation to say dangerous
panaceas for the ills of the body pol-
itic, as the conscientious and vigor-
Gus enforcement of the old and
proved remedies. The tree is known

driven to yield their own function Of
deliberation and their own independ-
ent judgment as to what is wisest and
best, and become mere recording
machines. The executive officers
will become less and less self-reliant
men and more and more automatic
machines, until some day, in the face
of some great crisis, the people will

that their government is in the hands
