BOARD OF HEALTH EXAMINATIONS.

The Star gives in oday issue the list of questions put to the
Board of Heas inspectors that they might qualify for their work
These questions simple and should be especially by
who had the subjects carefully explained to them besides hav

queries could be answered oand without hearing lee

forty only the simplest questions of mechanics The
of the questions all told twenty-five and schooboy Of
sixteen could examination in them after such instruction
has been the inspectors he would deserve be sent down to the
primary grade.
Yet three inspectors yesterday refused and of
these inquiries and of them undertook make political speech
accusing the Board Health of seeking deprive natives of their Jobs
Nothing could be further from the truth than this because dealing
with large native population inspectors who talk the venacuar must
be had But useless employ ignorant and inefficient ones tor the
work hand the obvious thing to do is to let these unuy fellows
and look awaians who will to learn their duties and
perform them There such Every bureau the government
has them along with of the other kind and feel that if
the principal of Kamehneha asked recommend good native
material for inspectors he would be able and willing to do
The hopes that discharge of the atran inspectors has
already taken place and that provision will be made fill their places
that discipline be kept and that the sincerity of the reform

holding their jobs.
Before the examination started, DR..
Pratt gave the men a short talk, eX-
planning the object of the test When
the president had concluded his re-
marks one Of the inspectors, who evil
IDENTIFY thought he was a politician, got
up and started to make a speech. He
was promptly squelched by being told
the object he was at the meeting at
all for.
Three men, who apparently only had
attended the examination in order TO
evade direct characterization, made lit.
tie or no attempt to answer the ques-
tions set before them. If these men
do not make exceptionally brilliant
passes in the remaining examinations,
they are slated for stevedore jobs in
the future.
The examination lasted three hours,
and ample time was given the men to
write out the answers to the ques-
TONS Each mans paper was marked
with a number, and the examiners did
not know the candidates by name. Dr..
Pratt has duplicate list of the mum,
bers, opposite the mems names. When
the three examinations are completed
and the final results are given by the
examiners, the marks attained by the
candidates will be placed opposite
their names, and that will be the first
intimation as to how the examination
has gone.
This evening at Z o'clock the oral
part of the test will be made, when
the inspectors and candidates for posi-
tons will, one by one, appear before
the examining committee and be
asked questions. The third and last
examination will be on Friday, when
field work will be in order. The can
didates will be asked to call at certain
houses where the committee will be
waiting. The inspectors will be asked
to proceed as if they were on official
duty, and their replies to questions,
together with their suggestions as 70
the remedy for certain conditions, will
form the examination.
The examiners are allowing stated
of marks for each question,
and an average in the three divisions
is to be made. Finally, the three aver.
ages will be punched and a general
average will be struck. Those men
who fail to obtain rs per cent of cred
it's will be recorded as having failed
in the examination.

Manual Training.
Under the direction of d. D. Thayer,
instructor in manual training at lola
nj school, afternoon classes in manual
training will be started in the Y. NJ.

tended for school boys with the double
purpose of teaching boys to make
things" and of assisting others to Sc
lect vocation. Teachers of manual
training can readily determine from
pupils work whether or not he is
adapted to the use of tools or has an
instinct for mechanical work, and it is
believed that these classes will serve
to start boys along the lines to which
they are best suited.

When the new Y. NJ. c. A. building
was opened October 1 the membership
committee instituted a campaign to
raise the membership from 700 70
1000 in four months. This period will
expire January 81 and the committee
is now certain. that it's goal will be
reached by that time and that there
will be 1000 in the association by that
time with a generous margin over.

SUPERVISOR LOW-How is it the

hood than Alaska to Territorial status.
WALTER M. KENDALL was
aboard the Colorado when the Cleve-
land nearly ran into her. She came
so close that she struck one of the
projecting guns, and the collision call
was blown, which means to close all
watertight compartments.

son is the logical candidate for gov.
ernor. He is Independent of the big
fellows, and fair and square man.
You may depend on it, "Aleck" is
Kuhios dark horse. which he will
spring one of these days.
w, o. SMITH fully endorse the
position taken by Mr.. Bonine in regard
to the hula exhibition With all the
other objections it is greatly to be re-
GREETED that an impression should be
given that the hula represents an or
binary phase of Hawaiian life.
SHERIFF JARRETT-Ten new DO
lice officers have been commissioned
during the past week. This exhausts
the new appointments for the present.
l have hopes that in time the force
will be built up to the proper size
which such city as Honolulu de-
mands.
FRED w. KINGSLEY see that
there are a number of good bull-ter-
riers in Honolulu The bad points of
a bull-terrier are a Dudley or butter
fly nose; that is a parti-colored nose;
lippiness and throatiness. Neither of
these points is desirable in good
bull-terrier.
MAYOR FERN don't approve Of
Sunday inspection trips around the
island by the mayor and board. They
are only junketing trips. When no
work is going on, how can anything
be inspected? I think am entitled
to one day in the week for myself
anyway
ENGINEER GERE-The charter of
the Rapid Transit Company requires
it to make and keep the road between
and alongside its tracks in the same
manner as the rest of the streets. 1t
looks as if the company was going to
fight this proposition, though, on the
King street paving contract.
DIR. RAMUS-I think it would be
good promotion work to have a the
alter subsidized here for the produc-
ton of good dramas. Tourists come
here and they have practically moth
ing at all to do at night. They can
hardly be expected to enjoy the pic
ture shows that are presented here
D. WILLIAM DOUTHITT-Tickets
for the Harry Corson Clarke produc-
lions will not be reserved after twelve
on the day of the performance. There
will be no exception to this rule what
ever. 1t will lead to too much vexa-
ton and trouble both for the manage
ment and those merely reserving the
seats to deyiate from this rule, 80 it
will not be violated in any circum-
stances.
JOHN McKEE-It was a rough aft |
ernoon at the beach Wednesday. The !
wind from the southwest-was kicking
up a good surf, and beyond the reef
there was thick sea smother After
two weeks of a rippleless lagoon it was
good yesterday to beat up the shore
with the wind in your face and to swim
out to your favorite point with some
thing like gray Atlantic sea buffeting
you at every stroke.
