THE WAIKIKI TOBUGGAN.
A New Bathing Contrivance-Other I'm
Provements Promised, to Cost in the
Aggregate About 50 600.

A New Bathing Their I'm
provements Promised, to Cost in the
Aggregate About 50, 900.
Our reporter visited Long Branch.
Waikiki, yesterday and saw the working
OF the toboggan slide at that place. The
following particulars regarding this mo
Walton in bathing tactics we're gathered
on the spot, and may be Of interest to
our readers.
The platform OF the arrangement is
reached by flight OF steps, and the
chute or slide is twenty inches wide.
This narrow width gives a great momen-
tum to the tobOggan as it slides over the
rollers for about 200 feet until the water
| Is reached. Only one toboggan starts at
time, and it is placed level on the
platform and afterwards its fOrepart is
depressed by lever to the angle of in
cline when it starts toward the water
/ The tObOggan itself is a wooden frame
with a turn-up end, upon which the
bather reClines, and the pleasure is in
the swlftness OF motion over the chute
When the bather reaches the water his
| tObOggan skIps on the surface for some
| distance-from fifty to one hundred feet
in proportion to the momentum ac-
CURED IN the descent; and then he has
to swim ashore and propel his toboggan
to a landing. To young person, either
male or female, this pastime cannot be
otherwise than delightful, and it gives an
excitement which ordinary bathing
| lacks. 1t Is almost impossible that any
accidents should occur on the chute, as
there Is no chance to topple over nor is
| there any fear OF the construction giving
way.
Originally the toboggan is a Canadian
| Indian invention, and was first brought
into public notice at the Chaudere Falls,
Province OF Quebec, where an ice slide
forms every winter below the cataract.
vi late years the pastime has undergone
many changes and improvements and
from being an exclusively winter sport,
| the same idea has been extended to sum
mer and to any cline.
Mr.. Sherwood, the proprietor of the
Waikiki bathing establishment and
chute, informs us that the work of per
tectng the constructions of his unique
slide and the necessary buildings, will
cost him nearly $1,000; and that he in
tends to make still more accommodate
tions. There are now forty-two dress
ing rooms for gentlemen and eighteen
bOudOirs for ladies'. To these accommo-
datiOns will be added bathing platform
100 feet along the beach by so feet wide,
and trapeze and spring board attached.
There will also be a restaurant; and,
when the whole is finished, we may ex-
pect to have occasionally to report
aquatic feats of considerable magnitude
1t may be expected that pastimes of this
nature will be enjoyed chiefly by young
persons; but there is no reason why
the seniors should not participate in
what is really an enjoyable and sanitary
sport. The price of each "scoot' on the
toboggan is the remarkably low figure
of five cents.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

We published few days ago, a
foreign news item to the effect that
several car loads of electric appar-
atus had passed through Ottawa,
bound for Honolulu via Vancouver.
We since learn that the Government
received advices from Mr. BarthOlo-
new by the last mail, stating that
two lots OF material had already ar
rived at Vancouver, and that third
lot was on the way. As soon as
practicable after the receipt Of this
latter, the whole will be shipped to
Honolulu. These three lots are
represented as containing all the
material required for completing the
line from Honolulu to Hawaii.
If Honolulu is to retain the al
vantages which naturally belong to
1t rs the one good port in the whole
breadth of the North Pacific, and
Particularly if we are to reap the
benefits to accrue from the opening
of an inter-oceanic canal, to say
nothing of the increased traffic with
larger vessels, which seems looming
up in the near future, our people
have got to be taking active measures
to improve our marine facilities. In
other words our harbor must be
made capable of receiving and dock
ing larger class of steamers than
al present. This will require the
expenditure of a considerable sum
OF money, and there is no appropria
ton available for the purpose, and
cannot be until the legislature meets
again, which, in the absence of a
special session, of which there is no
probability, will not be for a year to
come. The Ministry will fail in
plain duty if they do not insert in
the next appropriation bill, sum
fully adequate to meet the require
ments of the situation.

the principal, suits them much
letter. Several weeks ago the Min
lister of Finance advertised that he
was prepared to pay off and cancel
one hundred thousand dollars of
Hawaiian Government bonds. In
reply to this notice, not a single
bond has been presented for pay
ment. The latest London quotation
of which we have heard was one
hundred and four. Any attempt
to buy up any considerable amount
In the open market would doubtless
result in what is called a corner"
and prices would shoot up like a
rocket.
Although the condition Of things
above described has some positive
disadvantages, and may even involve
some possible dangers, it is a much
pleasanter spectacle to contemplate
than the opposite one, to which we
were accustomed not so very long
ago, when the creditors of the Gov
eminent wanted their money and
had to wait for it. Of certain special
advantages and disadvantages con
nected with the plethoric condition
OF the treasury. we purpose speaking
more fully in a day or two.

FL ECTRIC LIGHT DISEASE.
The Influence OF Electric Light Upon
the Eyes.

The Influence OF Electric Light Upon
the Eyes.
DIR. Lubinsky of Cronsta2, Russia,
made some very interesting statements
before the Russian Medical Congress
recently, in which he referred to thirty
cases of young seamen who were obliged
to serve in the vicinity of electric lights,
and who were affected by symptoms
traceable to electric influence. DR.. Lub-
insky calls the disease "photo-electric
eye inflamation," and describes the
symptoms as follows: "They appear only
during sleep; the patient is suddenly
awakened during the night by a copious
flow OF tears which pour from the eyes,
accompanied by vehement pricking
pain. At the same time there arises an
unusual aversion to light. Upon exam
inatiOn of the patient there is found a
swelling of the eyelid and a strong flow
of blood from the corner of the eye. On
further examination OF the inner eve it
is discovered that the entry-pOints of the
optic nerves in the skin are redeemed
and the arteries of the same filled to ex-
cess. These evidences of illness are
modified within one and a half to three
hours, the patient again renews his
sleep, and awakes the next morning per-
fectly we'll, save possibly for a slight
WEAKNESS OF the eyes, such as is expert
enced after a long reading by lamplight.
That sleep is an absolute necessity for
the appearance of the disease is evinced
by the fact that the persons who have
submitted their eyes to the rays OF the
electric light in the morning and have
fallen asleep after dinner were then at
tackled with the disease, but were free of
the same the following night. So long
as the person is not in a state of sleep
there is no evidence of the appearance
OF the disease, and he is able, during
the evening before, to read and write
From electric lighting being so very
familiar to every one in Honolulu, the
above statements have Il general interest
and may serve, in some measure, to
account Tor certain peculiar diseases of
the eyes that have occurred or may
occur in persons residing in this city.
There can be no doubt that electric light
ing has similar Influences in all regions
OF the world; and, although in Homo
lulu these lights have not been long
enough established to develope traces OF
the peculiar disease referred to so as to
attract attention, yet the symptoms may
be experienced later on.
