FACTS ABOUT WATER.

| Governor Pinkham's letter to the new Oahu
loan fund commission, made public at the same
tima las he announces the personnel of this
body, puts the facts of Honolulu's water-sup-
ply and potential sources before the citizens in
a graphic and vigorous manner It is "packed
full Of meat" and will certainly be of very
great value to the commissions work.
1t is no surprise that the governor emphatic
ally disapproves Of the city spending $4,000
in water survey in the hills behind Honolulu.
The Star Bulletin expressed its opinion OF this
expenditure Of the taxpayers money when the
appropriation was first put up to the super
visors and before they had passed it. The ter
|ritoria1 photographer pointed out then that no
real survey can be made for $4,000 because
no boring extensive enough to get results can
be done for anything like this amount; on the
other hand, issoffice has on fleor will under
take to secure Ill of the data which can be
collected without The boring yperinients. The
governor adds Significantly that the legislature
appropriated 5000 for commission to study
THE situation, and that it is part of the dnties
|of the division Of hydrography to make these
.e4 49,. - - ~. =
Under the circumstances the spending of
500, 600 of the city IS money is little likely to
bring results at all commensurate with the ex
pense. The commission named by the mayor
to direct the municipal investigations is a
good commission. If it wishes to take the logi-
cal, prudent and economical course it will not
spend the $4,000 at all but will use the agen-
cies already provided for investigation.
The loan fund commission named by the
governor has other duties besides looking after
the spending of money on water-supply devel
lopment. But this is by far its most important
|dnty, just the water-problem is one of Ho-
Modulus most important. Besides the two ex-
|officio members of the committee, Superintend
ent of Public Works Forbes and Mayor Lane,
the commission includes three we'll known
citizens who have had plenty of experience in
business affairs and public affairs-A. D.
Castro, b. g. Dnisenberg and Lester, Petrie
Mr. Castro has served SIN the Legislature and
Mr.. Petrie on the Board of supervisors. They
are all familiar with the city's needs and may
be relied upon to give good service in posi-
ton whose only remuneration must be the con
seiousness of having helped their community.

Certainly Not Scotch.

Guests of the late Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman were discussing the
nationality of j. H. Taylor, the former
golf champion, writes contributor to
Fry's Magazine, and one of the party
asserted that the player was a Scot.
Sir Henry was inclined to agree with
him.
WELL" said one of the visitors, "all
| know about Taylor is that he's a very
nice man. My club engaged him to
play an exhibition match at fixed fee,
but it was SO wet that play was impos-
sible. When he was offered the fee
he firmly refused to take it, and would
receive only his bare travelling ex-
penses."

Here is simple, inexpensive treat
ment that will almost always stop

night. spread the hair apart and rub a
little resinol ointment into the scalp
gently, with the tip of the finger. Re-
peat this until the whole scalp has
been treated. Next morning, shampoo
thoroughly with resinol soap and hot
water. Work the creamy-resinol lather
we'll into the scalp. Rinse with grad
ually cooler water, the last water be-
ing cold. Resinol ointment and resinol
soap are sold by all druggists.-Adv.

Inaccessible Places.

There is splendid specimen of tho
male condor in glass case in the
bird room Of the Children's museum in
Brooklyn. Though he stands 3h feet
high. the spread of his wings is nine
feet.
The condors live throughout tho
Andes, principally in Chile and Peru.
Their favorite haunts are the level Of
perpetual snow" writes Miss Anna B.
Gallup in the Museum News. During
a portion Of the year condors roost in
the trees on the lower mountain
slopes. but in the breeding season (the
summer months Of November and De-
cember) they retire to the most
broken and terrific precipices. 10000
to $4,000 feet above the sea level.

There, on ledge or shelf Of rock, the
female lays two white eggs nearly
four inches in length. Sometimes she
places a few sticks around them, per-
haps to keep them from rolling out of

After about seven weeks, in Feb
ruary or early in March, the young
hatch is entirely covered with soft
white down that afterward turns to a
