To De Editor Of De Pacific Commercial advertiser .
In last Saturdays paper, | notice that II. W.
Severance is Postal Agent for these islands in
San Francisco; and l would like 60 ask through
your columns, what necessity there can possibly be
for such an official in the United Statesl
1t strikes me that the mails for these islands would
be dispatched with quite az much regularity az they
now are, IL sent by the United States Postmaster of
San Francisco. Aside from the inconvenience Of
having our mails sent at the discretion Of an ire
sponsible Postal Agent" in San Fraacisco. 1
would like 10 know IL his instructions from tho Min
lister Of Foreign Affairs, would not authorize him In
OBTAINING specified letters and documents IS well as
an entire mail You yourselves might be In CORES
pondencc with some one on the coast who took pains
TO send you the latest news, and / do not consider IL
at all beneath the dignity Of the gentleman who
instructs his agent in San Francisco 10 head your
items a. the Gazette says" and thus furnish them
TO The papers, to also instruct him to always act OFF,
cially with an eye to the interests Of his Office here,
and his pet the GaSefte. ISouIRER.
(Our correspondent possesses the merit OF say-
ing what he has to say in q fow words. and at
the same time furnishing food for thought. We
have good reason for believing that the " Postal
Agent ;" spoken Of does furnish the daily papers
with clipping from the ADVERTISER, accrcditing
them to the GaSeue. Whether our correspondent
is correct in saying that the agent Aforesaid
receive his 60 instructions - from the Foreign Office
or not we are not prepared to shy but knowing
DIR. Hutchinson as well as we do, we do not be-
lieye that he would dabble in any such mean
trickery.

SYMPATHETIC?-Yesterday, at about noon, the
tide in the har5or was observed to act very singu-
luarly, rising and falling several times during an
hour about one foot. Perhaps this phenomenon of
the tides may be in sympathy with the eruption of
Mauna Loa, now going on, or-it may be that old
Neptune is having a change of Ministry.

p The entertainment presented at Buffum's
Hall on Monday evening last was of a most happy
and pleasing nature. The varied style of the sub
ject matter, blended with the richness Of appropriate
and effective costuming, enhanced and embellished
with the positive elegance of scenery and properties
en- rapport with the occasion, worked like q charm
on the audience. The rendition of the programme
established the fact that we had frst-class talent be-
fore us. Lucretia Borgia won our sympathy and
attention. Mr.. and Mrs. Oakley with the bachelor
major, tested the artists merit in high comedy,
while the new farce of Locked in with a Lady
certainly did not send its hearers weeping to their
beds. We hear with pleasure that a complimentary
benefit will be given to Mr.. Pauncefort before he
leaves Honolulu, a token richly deserved, and We
predict him a bumper.
CIRCUIT COURT, KAUAI.-The Court opened on
Tuesday, the 9th inst, Mr.. Justice Widemann Presid-
ing, and d. McBryde, Local Circuit Judge, assisting:
The native cases came first in order on the Calen-
dar, and there were several convictions for burglary
and HOUSEKEEPING, one for manslaughter, two for
distilling, and one for furnishing liquor to natives.
The case of Palakamaia, charged with man.
slaughter, in negligently carrying rat poison (other-
wise, mixed with -four and made into cakes), by
means of which q native boy eat of the poison that
Palaksmaia let fall in the road, and thereby died,
was tried on Tuesday, and a verdict Of not guilty
was rendered by the jury.
The case of the King US. John n. Wright, on the
same charge, for putting some rat poison in an
insufficient bag, was tried before 4 foreign jury on
Wednesday, and 4 verdict of not guilty rendered.
L.. McCully for the Grown. W. G. Jones for de-
PENDANT.
The King rs. Alai, for selling opium without a
license, was tried and q verdict of guilty rendered.
The Court on Wednesday evening had other bust
ness before it, and one native jury case was fixed for
the 18th. on which DAY il probably adjourned slHs die.

9 THE WEATHER.-We notice by the meteorological
record kept by Capt. Daniel Smith, that during July,
which has been called a hot month with US, the
thermometer has averaged 74o7 before sunrise, and
1923 at 8 O'Clock p. NJ. The rain fall during the
month was very slight, but as our friends have not
sent in their records of the quantity we can not give
the number of inches or fractions. Wwhile we were
complaining of the heat here with the thermometer
at $50, possibly 800, our friends in the Eastern
States were willing Under 110o, and 1120 in the
shade. So far during the present month we have
had delightful showers, and plenty of trade winds.

WHIsKEY.-On Sunday morning last a kanaka
was seen to tumble from his horse on Beretania
street, the animal making good time for Waikiki.
Some lookers-on fastened to the assistance of the
PROSTATE individual who did not seem to be much
hurt. One sympathetic individual inquired what
was the matter. To which the kanaka replied,
Whisky" "Ain't you sick?' "No, (hic) only
whiskey.'' "What made your horse run away?"
"Whis-(hic)-key." "Where do you belong?"
s Waiki-(whis)-ki? "Don't you want to go
home?' "'Aole makemake whis-(hic)-key ="
He was taken care of.

And drive Us all to slake our thirst
In many deep Potation:
lie thirsty mortals have care,
For when the Dog Star rages,
IL is important to beware
How man his thirst assuages.
When everything within the reach
Is hot enough to sizzle,
You'll say It's out Of place to preach
'Gainst "wetIing of your WHISTLE

That drinking is improper

With Roberts Soda Water.
just try It once and you viii say
That Robert well prepares il
From other drinks you'll turn away,
When with them you compare it.
And when to drink il you begin,
Your taste must be perverted,
If you are not from rum and gin
To soda soon converted.
This soda with its ice and cream
None ever called humbug;
But many have, | fear, the stream,
That flows from out a rum-jug.
The appetite for gin and rum
By thirst is oft created
You drink of these and soon become;
Alas Inebriated.
But Roberts Soda you may take,
One glass and then another,
Until your burning thirst you slake,
Nor fear of tumbling over.
There is no drink that you can find

Roberts Soda is the only kind
That's harmless altogether
The fountain whence this soda flows
Is one of good construction,
And to Friend Flagg the public owes
Much for its Introduction
