Mr.. Filler replied that the Hilo
Railroad had no desire for a U-shaped
track around past Coacoanut Island, /

were pending at the present time for |
right-of-way in a nearly straight

lie works to submit his plans for the |
proposed street ana right-of-way for
the Hilo Railroad Company from Wal |
akea to the new wharf to the Hilo
Board if Trade before any definite &C.

passed unanimously. It was followed
by a second motion by Metzger that
tht Board of Supervisors should be
requested to take the matter up and

Prof. Perret's Departure.
According to the plans which he
has made recently, Professor Perret,
who has spent the past three
months at Kilauea, will leave this
island by the Mauna Kea tomorrow,
bound for Italy, via Honolulu and the
Orient. His work here has been com

cerned, but he will continue to take
an interest in the work and to do
everything possiblt to assist in the
establishment of a permanent obser,

Professor Jaeger of the Massachu-

the next two weeks in Honolulu,
where he will be able to go closely
into the matter of the permanent OBJ
servatory with L. A. ThurstOn and
the others who are interested in the
work and then will be off for Vesuv'
Jus and Etna, where there have been

In speaking of the condition of the
volcano, Professor Perret stated that
the molten lava was no longer going
