OAHU COLLEGE, May 15.-Prof
William Alanson Bryan of the College
of Hawaii made a very interesting and
instructive address before the stu

boarding department last evening.
Prof. Bryan's subject was Coral
Reefs" He discussed the relation of
the coral polyp to the one-celled ami
mails, the sponges, the anemone. the
starfish and other associated animals.
He compared the structures and ages
of these various animals, showing that
though coral colyps are almost as old
as the sea, they are still very simple
of structure and organ. IL.
"The coral rolyp," said Prof. Bryan
in summary, lis of interest to all,

ten in number of years.
Selwyn, in writing Nearly Mar,
ried," has 9verridden one Of the oldest
traditions OF theatrical fun-makers,
that motheT-in-law is responsible for
all the alleged ills and near ills to
which a newly married couple is heir.
Selwyn insists in this case at least,
that brother-in-law is the guilty par
~ and the play bears him out in this
contention. .-
Brother-in-law-he is the brother of
the wife of a newly married couple
lis anxious as are most budding at
torneys for a real live case and he
rather fancies a divorce case for his
debut as a barrister Sister appeals
as the easiest victim with her hus-
band as the goat" Brother works
along these lines and proves almost a
success as a match-breaker. When
plans are laid for the divorce, the evil
dence is secured by a professional
correspondent" and couple of dear
friends OF the young couple, said
young couple" decide that they do
not need a divorce and start off on a
second honeymoon in an auto stolen
from the professional correspondent"
They decide that a little inn run by an
Indian prince formerly of Sherry's"
and his Irish wife, erstwhile cloak.
room girl at the same famous New
York resort, is the proper place for
this second honeymoon. Here they
are followed by their good friends"
who advises them that little brother
has made such a good case that he
has secured for his sister an absolute
divorce.
The second and third acts occur
in the road house, and the complica-
tons here are so numerous that it
takes the entire cast to handle them.
The audience at NEARLY Married" is
usually sufficiently large to take care
of the necessary laughter-and II
takes a house full to do this little
job as Nearly Married" is credited
with as many laughs as the proyerbial
dog has fieas.
