{ Japanese Director.
That the Japanese Y. NJ. C. A. in
the city is to be doomed is evident
from a letter received from Gaylen N.
Fisher, national secretary for the Y.
NJ. c. A in Japan.
He writes the local officials that
about December 1 Mr.. Matsuzawa will
arrive here, having been engaged as
secretary of the Japanese association.
This Japanese is a graduate of an
American college and son of a prom
inent Japanese official in Toxic, his
home. He is a capable writer and
speaker in both Japanese and Eng
fish and at present is in Y. NJ. C. A.
work at Dalny, which he will leave
to come to Honolulu.
R. J. Pratt, reporting for the house
committee, informed the directors
that George Johnson had been en-
gagged as building superintendent and
head janitor. F. H. Emmons has been
selected as Office secretary and book
keeper.

FEATHERED TYRANTS.
All the Fowls of the Air Dread tho
Muscicapa Birds.


Police work is the strangest of the
work done in the world of birds. In
France and central Europe the musci-
capa birds police the air, posted on
telegraph wires. Black. with heads
decorated with orange fillets. these
notable flycatchers are dreaded by
the brigands of the air. Eagles, fall
cons and all the feathered strong men
of the ether shrink from an encounter
with this tyrant. When the tyrant
cannot find wires to perch on he
perches on a pole. When stationed in
a prairie or a pasture he perches upon
the back of an OK. He lives by hunt
ing insects and attacks all birds. even
the strongest. using beak and claws
in the unequal struggle. All the fowls
even the most active pillagers Of the
nests feign honesty when under the
sharp eye of the Muscicapa tyrannus.
In winter the tyrant takes posses
sion of the warm shelters priced by
birds. In spring. when the young are
twittering in the nests. the tyrant
turns thief" and sows terror among
friends and enemies alike. Even the
sparrows banded to fall upon a field
fly away when they see the black coat
and orange fillet Of the policeman"
The tyrant holds his power by his
audacity. All animals yield to the
influence of courage. quality special
ly tenacious in birds. The tyrant bird
Is small. but his attitude commands
respect. ct.-Harper's Weekly.

THE WORD "BUNGALOW."
II Comes From the Hind Banga,
Meaning a Thatched Hut.

~ SOFHcS FTOTH Ine F1ITQl DdnSldg
Meaning Thatched Hut.
The word bungalow is an Anglo-In-
dian version of the Hindi baRgla,
which primarily means Bengai. or
of Bengal, and is also applied to
thatched hut. says Country Life In
America. 1t may be worth while to
explain how this trivial and merely To-
cal name came to be fixed on the Eng
lishman's house in India.
Early residents there engaged in mil
itary. administrative or trading duties
lived nomadic life for the greater
part Of the year in tents. And since
there was nothing in the indigenous
buildings of Bengal suited to their re-
quirements their first dwelling houses,
designed by themselves and built of
materials at site. We're naturally plan
ned on the model of the Indian serv-
ice tents to which they were accus-
tomed-that is, large and lofty room
surrounded by double walls of canvas
inclosing space between them, with
partitions at two or more corners for
bath or store rooms.
1t is probably, indeed, that in the
beginning the tent itself was occasion
ally covered with the sun proof thatch
or bangla. The name and the thatch
were all that were taken. and now
the origin of the name is forgotten
even by most Indians, who accept the
resonant. trisyllabic bungalow as the
Englishman's own name for his own
peculiar house.

Curious Authorizations,

Many peculiar anticipations have
been cited against patent applications
At one time a congressman took to
the patent office a lock invented by
one of his rural constituents. The
lock was an exact copy of lock fig
ured in Price on Locks" showing the
lock used on gate Of ancient Thebes
thousands of years before Christ. The
congressman after examining the illus
tration. which was shown him by one
of the officers. exclaimed that he didn't
care who that fellow from Thebes
was, he certainly stole it from his con-
Stituent On another occasion an ap-
plication for Il patent was filed for a
flower basket whose construction cor
responded in detail with the Scrip
tural description of the ark in which
Moses was placed in the bulrushes.
which. we are told in the second chap
ter of Exodus. was an ark of bull
rushes daubed with slime and pitch.

Such a method will bring party gov.

know that they will have an oppor:
tunity TO express their choice direct

time and pains in studying the ques-
lions of the hour and the candidates

The state executive committee is
therefore to be cordially commended
for having placed Georgia in line with

In providing for primary through
which the Democrats Of Georgia may
go TO the polls and directly express
their choice OF the party's presidential
nominee, the state executive commit
tee has followed one OF the soundest
and truly progressive tendencies OF
the day.
Five or six states. among them be-
ing New Jersey, have enacted laws
making such primaries fixed institu-
ton in their government. Senator
Cummins has introduced a bill TO re-
quire that in all states, delegates TO
conventions shall be chosen through
primaries. In many parts OF the
union, where no definite statute on
the matter has been enacted, the
presidential primary is springing up
as an outgrowth OF popular sentiment
and is becoming an established Gus
tom.
All these circumstances indicate
the drift OF popular thought and OF
progressive party thought. The PEG.
pie are awakening TO the fact that
they cannot be really self-governing
unless they are permitted TO choose
the nominees of the party TO which
they may belong as we'll as TO vote
