EXTRA SESSION
NEARLY CERTAIN
MAY BE CALLED TO CONSIDER
APPoRTIoNMBNT BILL
OPINIONS.
(From Thursday's Advertiser.)

It is the general bence Of the mem.
bers of the legislature tnst thero will
have to be a special session because of
two things; first, to act upon the ex.
pected appointment bill, now that the
census figures have been received by
Governor Frear; second, because, as the
members Of the house explain, the sen.
ate has been so slow in passing the
important bills before it.
"The senate win be largely to blame
if there is special session of the leg.
islature-and believe there will have
to be special session. declared
Speaker Holstein yesterday. "Take
the apportionmeAt bill. 1t has Just
reached the house after being forty
five days in the senate with only ff.
teen men to consider it, while it
leaves the house less than fifteen days
with thirty members to act upon it.
And that is only one case.
Gas for the possibility of having to
act upon an apportionment bill l don It
see how we can escape. Under the
law we are bound to act if the census
figures are placed before us. 1t may
be that we shall have to take it up
in special session"
Ready to Fight
"However, 1 am not going to sit
in the speakers chair like bump on
log. | am going to get out on the
floor and fight, if necessary, in an eff
fort to expedite the business of the
house.
Representative w. ]. Sheldon is not
pleased with what the figures show, so
far as Kauai is concerned.
According to the figures I've seen,
it looks as though Kauai is to lose one
of her representatives. But she will
not dc this without an effort to hold
her place in the legislature, and the
reapportioDment will not carry with.
out a fight"
DR.. George H. Hubby, representative
from Kauai, objects to anything that
hints at an extra session.
"There will be no extra session for
me if can help it," asserted the doc
tor yesterday. "We ought to work
overtime now. ] don 't see how we can
consider an apportionment bill; we
have enough trt lbles. But I suppose
we will have to act if the Governor
sends in the figures"
Should Have It.
eyes, 1 see by the figures that Oahu
will gain in representation, remarked
Representative Norman Watkins. "The
Oahu men are not objecting. If we are
entitled to that representation on ap-
portionment we should have it. Any
question of fighting the apportionment
is foolish.''
Members of the Maui delegation, as
well as others from Hawaii, expressed
the opinion that things were working
out well as they are, so far as repre-
sentation is concerned, but that If it
is necessary to make change at this
time the matter will have to be met
under the law as it stands.
There was a general feeling yester-
day that with this apportionment mat
ter hanging over them at the tailend
of the session an extra session is made
an almost foregone conclusion.

EFFECTS OF INTENSE LIGHT
Fatigue of the Retina Depends Mostly
on the Amount Received by
That Organ.

It IS not so much the intensity or the
light focused on the retina as 1t Is the
quantity received by that sensitive
organ that causes retinal fatigue or
worse. In the great snow fields Of the
arctic regions the natives protect their
eyes from the glare OF the snow by
goggles made of followed pieces OF
wood In which they have made small
holes to look through. This, says the
Optical Review, reduces the quantity
of the light which passes into their
eyes with consequent relief from the
glare.
So, too, IL we look through min
ute pinhole disc at the sun we can en-
dure the very bright light much longer
than when we look with the naked
eyes. IL we look at a distant electric
arc light there Is no retinal fatigue,
while If we look at the same light from
a short distance there is great dis
comfort. and yet the two retinal I'm
ages are of equal brilliancy, only In
the first case this image is very much
smaller than in the second case; TINT
is the quantity of light is very much
different.
Then there is the flaming electric
light which is now to be found in all
of the large cities of the country. This
light is much less brilliant than that
of the arc light, and yet its size is SO
great that this more than makes up
the difference, and it is therefore very
glazing and uncomfortable to look ct.
In skiascopy It Is possible to use q
very intense light II it is made small
In area, and for the reasons above
stated.

PREACHERS Free on This Boat.
