THE TYPHOID FLY. -
What ft now officially called the typhoid fly is not a newly discover
ed menace to mankind. It is nothing more or less than our old friend
the enemy, which is the victim of mostly every little boy's congenital
bias for crueltythe fly tjiat he impales on a pin to see it wiggle. The
" Department of Agriculture, among its versatile activities, has for some
time been engaged in work of the conservation of human health. Dr.
L. O. Howard, chief of the department's bureau of entomology, is the
official who has given to the common house fly the name of typhoid fly
which has now come into common use. His object was to emphasize
the importance of this fly as a disseminator of disease germs. Men
tioning this fact of the renaming of the ancient domestic insect, an ar
ticle on the subject in a departmental bulletin on experiment station
work, among much startling data from different stations, contains the
following remarks:
"This -fly of world-wide distribution is. perhaps the one most im
portant insect pest known to man. As a direct pest it is a source of
great annoyance, necessitating, with the mosquito, an estimated annual
?vnPni1!hire in the United States alone of more than $10,000,000 for the
screening of habitations. But the
pest is insignificant compared with
honltli through the dissemination
stage the fly thrives in all kinds of flith and as adult it feeds upon sim
ilar materials, thus ingesting the deadly germs of enteric diseases, such
as typhoid fever, cholera, cholera infantum, and tropical dysentery, to
deposit them hours, or even days, later in fly specks, often on various
articles of food; or these microscopic organisms may be collected on the
feet of the fly and later adhere to some food supply over which the tly
may crawl in its travels. .
"Typhoid fever is one of the most serious ailments to which man is
subject. There are about 250,000 cases of this disease annually in
America, about 35,000 proving fatal, Sixty per cent of the deaths in
the Franco-Prussian war and 30 per cdnt of the deaths in the. Boer war
were caused by this disease. One investigator has found the baciUi of
typhoid fever in the dejecta, of house flics" twenty-three days after, feed
ing, while another records the present pf this" bacillus m flies during a
period of two weeks. ThctssibilitfcA of transmitting typhoid fever
are appalling to the layman, when it &' remembered that the' germs of
this disease may be m the system several weeks before diagnosis iS pos
sible, continue in numbers six or eight ceks af tecapparent rccOvery.and
in exceptional cases may be discharged from the system during a period
of several years. There are authentic records of a patient distributing
these germs for seventeen years -and being the incipient cause of 13 cases
Airing fourteen years of lUf periods j Other diseases conveyed by this
fly are tuberculosis', anthfab?, plagUe. trachoma, septicemia, erysipelas,
leprosy, yaws, and perhaps 'smallp&xv" , .
Mayor Fern and the four members of the late board of supervisors
who sustained his veto of, an. ordinance to protect the food supplies of
Honolulu from the malignant defiler above described, for the sole rea
son that it would causa some little expense and inconvenience to the
dealers in food and foodstuffs, would have acted differently if they had
known better. ' . '
A primary law so elaborate and complicated as to duplicate to the
voters, and multiply to the candidates, the expense and trouble of elec
tions had better be done without. The most that is wanted, and all that
would be adapted to conditions in Hawaii, is a measure to prevent fraud
in such primaries as we have and to enable candidates of hny party to
submit their names for endorsement at every polling place m the con
stituency of whatever office they seek. This latter provision would mi
ply a continuance of the convention, but the delegates to the conven
tion would be instructed, at least in part, both as to,individnals and
slates by their respective precincts. A majority of precinct endorse
ments should, mean nomination, a'nd the figures of the polls; in cases
where not enough candidates for a given office had obtained majority
endorsement, would be valuable in the selection of the remainder of the
ticket. ..
Hawaii became a military district yesterday afternoon, but probably
nobody slept any sounder last night on that account. All the same, the
great national defensive enterprise shown here now means to the in
habitants days and nights of peace and quiet for times to come.

SCHOOL RULES
Dl
This morning was taken up by the
School Commissioners In a discussion
on the rules and regulations. Up to
the present they have reached the
matter of examinations and teachers'"
certificates. It' has" been resolved that
it -should be the duty or the Inspec
tor to visit the teachers and report on
their work. If this report agrees with
that submitted by the supervising
principal, then the standard of the
teacher can easily he gauged. The
discussion on the rules and regula
tions will be a long one.
One clause taken out Is that which
reads: "No person In holy orders or
minister of religion shall be ellgjblo
to fill the office of superintendent, in
spector or commissioner of public; In
struction." The following clause has
yej to be passed upon: "No religi

which did not satisfy her and she re
turned to the store to tget the money
back. She brought Miss Uuo Kino to
act as Interpreter but the storekeeper
would ,not give Che money back,
though he suggesteu that the woman
could take other goods in lieu of the
suspenders.
Then the trouble arose. The shop
keeper said the. woman was "pupull,"
tho woman Is alleged to have became
more abusive and finally Ah Sam slap
ped her in the face and told her to get
out of the shop.
Tho evidence as to the exact lan
guage used by the woman was con
flicting, but the court Inclined to the
view that Ah Sam had received great
provocation, and only Imposed the fine
already mentioned." Attorney Charlie
Chillingworth appeared for the de
fense. He submitted that? the assault,
if there was an actual assault, was
only a very trivial one.

The president makes remarks on

trees and parks he says:
"There may have been a disposi
tion to consider this committee of .but
minor Importance. This may have
been true In the' past, but I maintain
that now It should be one of our most
active and Important committees. Now
that we have secured first necessi
ties fair streets, good water system,
lights, etc., there Is nothing much
more Important; nothing that will pay
a bigger return on the investment,
than beautiful drives and well kept
yards; If we could suddenly have all
our drives and streets lined with trees,
as planned by a former committee,
and ten years' growth ndded to them.

consider ways and means of having

There Is no good reason for delaying
this, and It will add much to the at
tractiveness of our community.
"1' tils owant to suggest that tho re
served-lot at the Trig; Station be giv
en such attention as necessary to
mnko It a park such as It was design
ed to be. It should bo set with suit
able trees and shrubs at once, and
plans for further beautifying It car
ried out. In this connection I believe
that a well built trail on a very easy
grade, from Wyllle street up the face
of the pall to the Trig. Station, would
be a wise move. The trail should be
consptclous and alluring to tho strang
er, and In connection -with the little
park at the top It should attract many
pedestrians to one of the most magni
ficent viewpoints about tho city and
the most easily reached besides fur
nishing a short out to all tho upper
lots, thus encouraging their owners
"to become residents as well."
President Cooper recommends tho
holding of monthly meetings, also the
appointment o'f a committee to name
streets and another to work for mall
delivery.

little hard thinking for the FLORAL

Is hoped that tho whole of tho work
of sorting tho good from tho affected
grain will bo completed by the be
ginning of next week.
That the Erna had a narrow es
cape from serious damage, either by
foundering, or by firo caused by spon
taneous combustion, Is shown dally
by tho condition of the wheat. Many
grains of tho wheat are sprouting,
and the expansion that has taken
placo has been very pronounced. Then
again there Is a heat among some of
the bags that will not permit of tho
hand being held on Mtcm. Had this
continued while the Erna was on the
long run between Seattle and Port
Said, it is safe to say that she would
never have reached her destination,
for tho irresistible expansion from the
thousands of bags ofwheat would have
lesulted in a bursting of the seams
of the vessel, or the Intense heat
would have caused spontaneous com
bustion. This is fully exemplified by
tho present condition of the cereal,
for sho was only eight days out of
Seattle when she reached Honolulu,
and It was on the trip across here
that the heavy seas that broke over
her and entered the hold, were met
with. As it Is now, sho has but a se
vere monetary loss to meet by the con
demnation of the cargo and sale of
that that is in a fit condition to be
sold.
The greatest care Is being exercised
by Food Commissioner Blanchard to
see that no unfit, wheat gets, into
circulation.
