that alley was pump of fine water.
This pump had two immense iron ham
dies. one inside for family use, the
other outside for the neighborhood,
thus alluring them to get water with
out coming into our yard.
II do not remember much, or indeed,
any of the large buildings accompany
ing the four corners of Ninth and
streets, except, of course, the Patent
Office, at that time much smaller
building, since the east and west wings
had not been built. At that time the
building was largely given over to the
Museum where stuffed birds and bird
eggs were the delight of my childish
heart.
Il remember the block of F street
between Eighth and Ninth as occupied
by rather small houses, two of which
alone stand out in my memory.
THE shoe store of a Mr.. Creaser-
who was a real shoemaker and a very
good one.
Next to Mr.. Creaser's stood a little
house-and I would like to know who
else Of my generation remembers it.
"It was little school kept by an old
lady named Peckham, who lived there
with her maiden daughter, Miss Abbie.'
1t really was tiny house. A small
parlor occupied the front. This parlor
we children were sometimes allowed to
peep into.
Then came the schoolroom, also
small. 1t was heated in winter by a
small wood stove. At the one window
stood desk at which three could sit
to write. Around the room were little
benches on which those sat who were
not engaged in writing Also there
were two little stools, Mrs Peckham
called them 'cricketS,' on which, as a
special favor, we might sit at her feet.
Back of the schoolroom was the
kitchen and then the garden, and I still

marvel at the numbers of flowers that
tiny yard produced.
When very good, we were allowed to
walk up and down and admire the mag
nificence of that garden.
THE curriculum included arithmetic
up to simple division, geography and
Peter Bailey's History of the United
States"-then We were ready for Mrs.
Burr, or some other large schools.
Il still remember the names of some
of those children-and wonder If any
of them are living. There was a Louisa
Swarts, Susie Gideon, Eliza Sweeny,
George and John Whiting and w. P.
Johnstone-the well-known physician of
this city-his sister, Belle Johnstone,
and his brother Barnard. I think all
of us were well instructed in the three
RS and the girls were taught to sew.
When I left Mrs. Peckham l could
stitch and do overcasting as we'll as I
can now, and in those days when mans
shirt bosoms were stitched by hand
those things counted"
Naturally, the site of the Palais Royal,
too has had its old homes and buildings,
one of the earlier buildings being the
Scottish Rite Cathedral, which once
stood at 1907 G street, to which building
the constituent bodies of the rite moved
in 1886, was also shortly afterward added
to, new structure 83h by 30 feet being
built to the rear At the time it was
stated there would be banquet room
on the basement or ground floor, as well
as kitchen, pantries, lavatories and
the heating arrangements. On the
floor above was to be a spacious lodge
room and on the third or upper floor
the cathedral proper-a spacious apart
ment, 80 feet from floor to ceiling, with
galleries on three sides. +
The cornerstone of this addition was
laid with Masonic honors on the after
noon of June Z, 1888, the line of march
being from the temple at Ninth and F.
streets to Pennsylvania avenue, then
along the avenue to Fifteenth street to
G, and along G to the new building.
This building was dedicated by the
Grand Lodge on October 9 of the same
year.
This Scottish Rite Cathedral, by which
name it was generally known, was not
only great service to the Masonic
bodies, but it was here that the Grand
Chapter of the Order of the Eastern
Star was organized on April 80, 1896.
H. H. Kinds was then the most worthy
grand patron. At this meeting Past Most
Worthy Grand Matron Elmira Foley
presided, with Past Worthy Patron w.
E. Nalley serving as secretary, and the
ensuing election resulted in the selec-
ton of Mrs. Alcena Lamond and l..
Cabell Williamson to serve as the first
grand matron and the first grand patron,
respectively, Of the order in this city.

Labor and Business Approval
The International Longshoremen's and
Warehousemens Union, affiliated with
the CIO, strongly indorsed Hawaii's full
participation in the Union. So did the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association.
composed of sugar producers having
labor contracts for both mill and field
employees with the ILWU.
The bipartisan Honolulu County Board
OF Supervisors approved it unanimously.
as also did the board of directors of
the local Chamber of Commerce. This
latter action was voted following "whis-
pers" that big business might be half

rumors, the chamber took a secret bal
lot of its membership which resulted in
sos affirmative and ITO negative votes.

DOES THE ATOM BOMB
EXPLAIN BIBLE MIRACLES?

He tells how he found these
strange methods in far off and
mysterious Tibet, often called the
land of miracles by the few travel
ers permitted to visit it. Here, he
discloses, he learned rare wisdom
and long hidden practices, closely
guarded for three thousand years
by the sages, which enabled many
to perform amazing feats. These
immense powers, he maintains, are
latent in all of us, and methods for
using them are now simplified so
that they can be used by almost
any person with ordinary intelli-
gence.
AS part of a great movement to
make his methods available to
more people, a 9,000-word treatise
is offered absolutely free for the
time being. 1t reveals many start
ling results. Readers of this an
nouncement can get their free copy
by sending a post card or letter to
the Institute of metaphysics, 213

to write promptly, because this

According to Edwin ]. Ding1e,
world-renowned geographer, hon
ored by leading geographical So
cieties, the power of the atom as
disclosed in the atom bomb, is
small compared with little known
and seldom used powers of the hui
man brain. He maintains that man,
instead of being limited by an av-
erage man power mind, has within
him the mind power of a thousand
men or more, as well as the energy
power of the universe, which can
be used in his daily affairs.
According to him, this sleeping
giant of mind-power, when awaken
ed, can make man capable of SUR
prising accomplishments. 1t is as
amazing as the atom bomb is COM
pared with former sources of en-
ergy. Many thousands of people
throughout the world have already
tried his methods. Many report
improvement in power of mind,
achievement of brilliant business
and professional success. Others
report Improvement in health, in
creased strength, courage, poise or
energy, or more magnetic per-
sonality.
