 Up With Their Activities
 There is need of synchronizing the machinery of the legislature with the activities of the members. The latter had to knock off work yesterday at the end of a brief morning session in order to let the printers catch up with them. The house took an adjournmen, to 10 o'clock this morning. The senate, out of force habit, recessed to o'clock but at that hour convened and dis covered that there was nothing to be done, and likewise adjourned to 10 o'clock.
 In the short time the house was in session two bills were passed on third reading and several new bills were in troduced. One of the bills passed was Mr. Lines measure requiring clerks of boards of supervisors to certify lists of legislators elect to the secre tary of state and to be by him certified to the legislature on the day of its opening session. The other bill passed was one increasing the fees of official interpreters.
