13-55-57 King Street, Honolulu. T. H. news to the readers of the Scientific American that fish can really be tamed, but Honolulans have known it for some time. At the aquarium here, in the large central tank where the freshwater fish are kept, lives a big, fat German carp that eats out of the hands of the attendants and shows no signs of fear whatever.

Outside in the big tank is a pet shark that will also eat out of yoar hand. He will also eat out of your leg or any other part of you that happens to be within reach. Did you ever go down to the -fishmarket on Saturday afternoon and watch the people there, particularly the Ilawaiians, buying their Sunday suppliest If you have you will probably have noticed that there are more drunk Hawai-ians about the one particular spot than in the whole of the rest of the town combined. And you will also have noticed, if you looked at all closely, that the men who had the biggest loads of booze had the smallest loads of fish. And if you followed out the thought that must have occurred to you, you wll have said to yourself that there would be some families with mighty little to eat on Sunday.

It is frightful the way the fishmarket is set about with eheap saloons, so situated that from whatever direction a man comes to do his weekend buying he has to pass at least two of these joints. Within a etone's throw of the fish stalls are no less than eleven saloons, one or two of them decently managed, the rest traps pure and simple where five cents worth of dago red will make the Hawaiian father forget for the time being his family and lead him on to a debauch that in many cases lands him in the police cells. Go down to the police court any Monday morning and listen to the tales that these Hawaiians for very few others appear among the drunks tell Judge Whitney. At least fifty per cent of all those arrested for drunkenness and the wife beatings and assaults that go with it, buy their booze at joints about the fishmarket. Sometimes they have enough to pay their, fines, but quite often they haven't even saved that much out of their week's pay and they go over to the reef for three, four or five days to work it out.

In the meanwhile the family get along as best they can. 4 A casual reading of the Municipal Act would lead to the belief that there is a joker in it that is a dandy, a nigger in the woodpile that outniggers anything so far sprung upon an unsuspecting public. The Mayor shall not engage in any other profession or calling during the term for which he is elected," says the law. Passing the point that being the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu is a profession, let us pass on to the second limitation put upon His Worship. He shall not engage in any ealling while he is mayor.

Calling, that is a business, or an interest in a business, or a share, in any business and it can be stretched to mean holding stock in any business concern. And the Mayor of the City or County of Honolulu can not have any of these things. It is so written in the law. What a snap for the politicians. With every business man Qf Honolulu barred out from the running, what a picnic for those who never did have any other profession or calling, than that of being job-chasers.

If this reading of the law is a correct one, and it seems to be such, any man who has business ability, who has been a successful man in conducting his own private affairs, can not aspire to the job of making an equal success of the business of the city. No successful business man would think for a moment of disposing of all his business interests to enter any mayoralty contest, even if he should consent to give up the management of his own business lor two years during a term of ofiice. But any man who has nothing but his gall and his nerve could run. And the more gall and the greater nerve, the greater his chances, evidently, for those opposed to him would be qualifying on the same grounds.

SOME PUBLIC MATTEES. Auditor Fisher's statement of the condition of the Territorial treasury for April shows receipts of $176,582.44, a decrease of $16,160.94 as compared with April of last year. The decline was in treasury offiee and tax bureau collections. There was an increase of over $2000 in Honolulu harbor revenue and about $600 in Honolulu water works receipts. Expenditures were from current revenue, an increase of $43,331.81, and $40,166.44 from loan fund, an increase of $25,844.06.

Of current expenditure $61,000 went to the counties, an increase of $9000 over April, 1906. The current cash balance at the end of the month was $114,746.95, or $75,958.99 more than on April 30, 1906. A cash balance of $342,344.54 represents a reduction in the loan fund of $532,570.16 since a year before. The loan indebtedness is $3,718,000, a decrease of $143,000 for one year.

Cooper as regents of the Agricultural College of Hawaii, for which the Legislature appropriated $10,000 for buildings and $15,000 for salaries, a beginning has been made in establishing that institution. It is believed there will be no trouble in securing a Federal appropriation of $25,000 a year, with an additional grant of $5000 a year until the maximum is reached, which will place the college on the same footing of aid from the national treasury as similar eollcges in other territories. The hope has been expressed that, as a result of the founding of this college, "within a few years we will be able to supply, all the scientific Agriculturalists needed in the Territory, such as chemists for the plantations and experts for the various positions to fill which now we have to send abroad." Most of the Spanish labor immigrants, with their families, who arrived in the Heliopolis nine days ago have been placed upon sugar plantations. Hopes are bright that these people will become a valuable element of settled population in these islands. The steamer Kumeric sailed from Funebal, Madeira, for Honolulu on Friday last with 1050 Portuguese emigrants.

By refusing to publish the bill transferring license fees from the Territory to the counties, which the Legislature on reconsideration passed over the Governor's veto after having sustained the veto, the executive invites a test of the validity of the measure in the courts. The Board of Agriculture and Forestry has recommended the creation of i forest reserve on Kauai taking in three tracts at Na Pali aggregating 10,470 acres, three tracts aggregating 10,030 acres in and another tract of 9360 acres, a total of 29,860 acres. Through the liberality of the Legislature toward the Land and Survey departments, Land Commissioner Pratt hopes to be able to show good results in the settling of public lands the ensuing biennial period. It has been decided by the Board of Agriculture and Forestry that no live stock be admitted to the Territory at any port but Honolulu, except in the cases of shipments accompanied by certificates of soundness given at the ports of departure.
