THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER: HONOLULU, APRIL 5. 1S9S. EDDY'S QUEER HOUSE KITES. W hea William A. Eddy is flying hia Louge kites in Bayonn, X. J., bystanders some times imaprire that a Kansas cyclone !ias loosened a few dwelling from their moor ings nnd turned tliern adrift in the "funnel shaped atmosphere." These kites are nsed to carry thermometers for testing the tem perature of the upper regions. When they are covered with black paper they serve well hm cameras, -with the addition of a lens and sensitivo film. Mr. Eddy has been guided largely by his Btudy of western cy clones in making his air houses. The Louses have a frame work of light fipruce sticks and a covering of paper. The kites are about three feet square. m JL You are just right they are sharp. They are ready to use, and thep will stav so with very little care if properly used. That's the kind of RAZORS we sell. We have the other things that go with them, such as the Strops, Hones, Brushes, etc. You have not got a steady hand? Well, then try the "Star Safety Razor." You can't commit suicide with that if you try, and it runs as smoothly as a "Rambler" Safety Bicycle, which you will want to go out on after you are through shaving. All these things at E. O.

Income Tax Amendment House Preparing Work for Appro priation Bills. SKXATE. Thirtj--fifth Day, April 4. A communication was received from the House announcing the passage of and transmitting House bill 39 relating to tax anneals. Substitute House bill 5 relating to licenses was reported from the Print ing Committee read by title and sent to the Commerce Committee, Senate bill 24 relating to the submisson of differ ences to the Supreme Court was receiv ed from the same committee, read by title and sent to the Judiciary Commit tee. The same course was pursued with Senate bill 23, amending the law of appeals and bills of exception. If the amendments returned from the Judiciary Committee to the House bill regulating the release of dower are accepted, it will be possible for mar ried women to give their power of at torney to persons other than their hus bands. It is calculated by the nrorao- ters of the bill that this will greatlj' facilitate real estate transactions. Heretofore, Senator Brown explained, titles have been refused on the ques tion of women releasing their rights of dower. Sometimes they have given their power of attorney to their hus bands. Attorneys have believed that this in vesting the whole disposition of property in the husband and might be considered contrary to existing laws, inasmuch as they were enacted to pre vent such a result. Sometimes attor neys have hesitated when the power of attorney has been given to a person other than the husband. The present bill provides for transferring the pow er. The bill passed second reading and went to the Revision Committee. Third reading was set for Wednesday. Senator Holstein introduced a bill to amend the laws relating to bankruptcy, making regulations, among others, for cases which shall be heard only in the circuit where the alleged bankrupt has had his headquarters. Senator Rice was excused from at tendance for the remainder of the week. The Public Lands Committee recom mended that the plat 'of ground at Aala be set apart for a public recreation ground instead of a park. They also recommended that the old Makiki base ball ground be made a public recrea tion ground as well. Their report to that end was received to be considered later with the bill. In their report to the Senate, the Finance Committee brought in an amendment to the tax law of 1896, which alters Section 68 of the old law instead of Section 25 as proposed in the House bill which the committee was considering. The new clause proposed by the committee is that nothing in the section shall be so construed as to au thorize the tax assessor to demand a statment of the affairs of any person or copartnership conducting a purely mercantile business. The new bill pass ed the first reading and went to the Printing Committee. Bill 16 was laid on the table. At 10:45 o'clock the Senate adjourned. and referred, to the Committe-e or For eign Relations.
