The Samoan difficulty is likely to be set

awakened the American people to the
necessity for proper war equipmeit in
order to prevent vsF.
By recen. experiments it has been proved
that we can have navy of swift dynamite
cruisers that could beat the navies of the
world, and these can be backed by flotilIa
of improvised torpedo boats so numerous
that they could not be encountered except
with equal numbers, and to bring an equal
number of such boats across the ocean
would be impossible.
So we conclude that the Samoan affair
has done good in calling tho attention of
the people to the criminal neglect of the
naval service for the past twenty years by
the Republican party. That We are able
now to say to the world that we can defend
our National honor is due to the patriotic

A Very Fast War Ship.

Naval architects in Washington are
waiting with some interest further par
ticulars Of the performance of a remark
able cruiser built in England by the
Armstrong;. She is named the Pie
monte, and is said to have made 1917
knots under natural draught. The YES
sci measures $500 tons and carries
engines of II, 800 horsepower, nearly
treble the proportionate horsepower o
the new gunboat Yorktown. From the
information received at the Navy De-
partment it appears that the hull of the
ship weighs but 40 tons, and the lightest
possible construction, verging closely on
weakness, is indicated. Elements of
safety and convenience, such as COM
plete double bottoms and handy coal
bunkers, have been sacrificed for the
sake of lightness in the new vessel which
accounts in a large measure for the won
derful speed said to have been attained.
Nevertheless, although the ship was
built for the Italian Government, the
British naval authorities made strenuous,
but unsuccessful, efforts to purchase her
from the builders.

STREET, WIDENING MEETING.

An Almost Unanimous Feeling Among
the Property Owners of Beretania
Street to Have That Thoroughfare
Made Twenty Feet Wider.
Shortly after II a. m. June 18th, a
meeting of property-owners, on Bere-
tania street, was convened in the Cham
Der of Commerce.
Mr. c. NJ. Cooke was in the chair, and
about fifteen persons were present, in
Guiding His Excellency the Minister of
the Interior.
After the Chairman had explained the
purpose OF calling the meeting, Mr.. T.
R. Lucas stated his entire concurrence
with the objects of the movement to
widen Beretania street, and moved that
committee of three be appointed to
canvass among the property owners OF
said street, and endeavor to get their
consentto widen it ten feet on both sides
between the intersections OF Punahou
and Punchbowl streets, with the proviso
that in case there was not unanimous
consent, the committee be authorized to
draw up petition to be presented to the
Minister of the Interior for appointment
OF jury.
The said Minister being present, stated
that a committee had already called on
him regarding this matter, and he had
stated that the appropriation covering
street improvements was not large
enough to effect the contemplated i'm
provement to Beretania street unless the
property owners gave the necessary land
free of cost to the government. at the
same time, if this condition were agreed
upon, the government would put the
fences back and grade the street accord
ing to the increased width.
Mr.. Rosewarne said he did not believe
in giving his land away without pay
ment. He is a Woodworking and honest
man, and would be doing an injustice to
himself and family to consent to any
such gift. The widening of the street,
he thought, might benefit the wealthy |
property owners who could spare ten feet |
from their properties and not feel it; but |
the case was different with him as he |
was a poor man and had to work hard |
for all he had.
Mr.. T. R. Lucas tried to correct the
last speaker, but the latter was under
stood to say that he "was Of the same
opinion STILL
Messrs. G. P. Castle, E. G. Rowe, H.
A. Widemann and others, spoke in
favor of the movement for widening the
street; and the motion made by Mr.
Lucas was then put and carried unani-

Norway, Uruguay and Honduras.
The United States will be represented
by a board of seven persons, and it is
expected that the larger powers, will
have the same number of representa-
tives. The smaller countries, it is
thought, will generally be represented
by their Ministers, assisted by one or
more technicians in the subjects before
the conference. The American board
has framed programme of subjects to
be considered, and this has been made
public.
The proceedings will be in English,
though representatives speaking other
languages will doubtless make their mo-
tions and propositions in their native
tongue and their words will then be

of iron, and the entire structure will be
of that material. The floor will be of
concrete; and the iron Orders, which
reach from end to end of the building on
both sides. are intended for the support
of travelling crane which will assist in
the moving of heavy machinery to be
stored in this warehouse. The building
when completed, will be 100 feet long
and 40 feet wide, one story high; and
have a passage way through it, for
trucks, from Queen street to the yard in

About Color.

A recent issue of the Revue Scien-
tifque contains an account of a
curious investigation, carried out by
French savant, NJ. Pouchet. This
gentleman selected five well-known
works of different ages, from the
present back to the time of Lucian,
and ascertained the number of color
epithets in each. The general con-
clusion he arrives at is that the
writer always shows marked tend
ency to describe red things, not be-
cause, as has been supposed, our an
cestors were unable to see blue and
its allied shades, but because they
followed the natural tendency to
describe what was prominent. Blue
in nature is not very CONSPICUOUS,
and yellow, though more common in
flowers, has a tendency to lose its
individuality IN Wilderness; but red
is so conspicuous because of its con-
trast to green, which is the prepond-
Grating color in nature. Moreover,
as red is the color of blood, is the
symbol of fire, and is most sought
after in dyes, it soon acquired
moral and intellectual prominence
which would lead to its frequent
mention.
