or promotion, shall be rilled in the following manner:
(_a_) The postmaster at a post-office in which a vacancy may exist
shall, in form and manner to be prescribed by the Commission, request
the board of examiners to certify to him the names of either males or
females eligible to the vacant place.
(_b_) If fitness for the place to be filled is tested by
competitive examination, the board of examiners shall certify the names
of three males or three females, these names to be those of the

of the same sex on the register from which certification is to be made,
have not been certified three times from said register: _Provided_,
That if upon said register there are the names of eligibles who, under
