THE MARINE TOBOGGAN.

AS previously stated, Mr.. G. J.
Sherwood, manager of the Long
Branch Baths, Waikiki, has had the
marine toboggan at that popular re-
sort put in first-class order. Yester-
day afternoon on the invitation of
Mr.. HI. Il. Macfarlane several gentle
men made an inspection and practi-
cal test of the toboggan. Mr.. Mac
farlane, Mr.. <. r. Hendry and re-
representatives. Of the press rode down
the steep decline repeatedly, finding
it hard to get enough of the exhiarat-
ing sport. The frame has been made
perfectly staunch and steady, the
rollers are as well set as parts of the
most exact machinery, SO that there
is not the slightest jar or jolt ex-
perienced in making the run from
the platform "a feet high to the surf
about 80 yards from the base of the
tower. The toboggan makes glori-
Gus leap from the end of the ways,
sometimes skipping fifty or sixty feet
over the waves. The water is not
very deep at the striking place, while
the sand bottom there is the most
even on the Waikiki beaches. Mr..
Sherwood keeps all the appointments
of Long Branch in thorough order,
and has enough helpers to give every
attention required by patrons.

TRICKS THAT ARE VAiN."

In the hearing of water right
case in equity by Chief Justice Judd
this morning, it transpired that
Chinaman had signed the name of a
minor to document, and a Chinese
friend had gone before notary pub
lie and sworn that the signature was
genuine.
His Honor, in summarily putting
the plaintiff out of court, strongly
reprobated the criminal trick, stating
that he had instructed the Deputy
Attorney General to institute pro-
ceedings against the offender. He
said, II think that it is time that
these Chinese should understand
that they must not play with the
Court or with acknowledging Off
GERS"
Mr.. Davidson for the plaintiff Of
fered to submit brief maintaining
that verbal authority was sufficient
for the signing of ones name by an
other. The Chief Justice declined
to entertain such proposition. The
offender was arrested under a war
rant and lodged in the station at
2:40 this afternoon. His name with
two aliases including the name of the
plaintiff is entered with the charge
of "false personatlon."

"zEpHYRS" WORK THEM.

Just think of twelve-foot Aermo-
tor running a six-inch pump and fill
ing thirteen hundred gallon tank in
less than an hour! Do you know of
any other wind motor that will do
this? We try to keep posted on such
things but fail to find anything in
wind history that even approaches
this record The mills we speak of
force water five hundred feet and ele-
vate it twenty-fve-hard to believe
isn't it, but it's fact. They are as
strong as the strongest material and
good workmanship can make them
and cheaper than any other mill on
the market, two points of excellence
in their favor.
Another thing in their construc-
ton, or mechanism, whichever you
prefer, is the fact of their being made
so that they will not fall to pieces by
being overworked. They make three
revolutions and pump once. The
strain is not all put on the wheel at
each revolution, it is equally divided
and consequently the wheel lasts
longer than the ordinary run of wind
mills. We are not afraid to talk bout
the Aermotors now that they have
been tried and proved satisfactory
right here at home. We have had to
publish testimonials from parties at a
distance because Aermotors were new
here and had not been tried, but now
that we have sold so many and every
one has been satisfactory to the pur-
chaser we can get ON all right by re-
ferring parties to those people who
have tried them here. We continue
advertising them because they are
still a comparatively new thing on the
Islands-before long they will not
need single notice in the newspapers
because they will sell themselves. We
want people to try them and if they
are wrecked in wind which does not
level your house at the same time we
will refund the money. A bold offer
but it is way we have of doing bust
ness. We know they are strong
enough to warrant our guaranteeing
them, and that one will probably last
longer than the purchaser will have
any use for it, If you want wind
mill remember that the Aermotor sold
by us is cheaper, stronger and better
than any windmill on the market and
will do more work than any wind
motor ever invented. For sale only
by the Hawaiian Hardware Company,
Fort street, opposite Spreckels' Block,

sionary Band--Wili Last Two Weeks.
The Jesuit Fathers opened q two weeks

Superior OF the Missionary band, preached
at the High Mass on the nature and con-
sequences OF these religious exercises,
laying down the order of services for the
coming week, and tr eating especially of
the differences betw cen mission and q
revival" In the conduct OF mission
the end sought for is not the arousing of
religious enthusiasm, but rather the more
lasting and genuine results obtained bv
deep, serious, prayerful meditation upon
the duties and obligations of our state Of
life.
In the evening, at half-past seven, the
exercises were exclusively Tor women.
and this reservation will hold through
out the coming week, but only as regards
the evening service. Every seat in the
immenso edifice was filled last night with
devout worshippers.
Father Himmel gave short instruc-
tion on prayer, which was followed by
the recitation of the rosary. The sermon
was preached by the Rev. Father Nc
Donald, S. j., from the text: "What doth
it profit q man if he gain the whole world
and suffer the loss of his own soul?n
At this sevening's service, Father
Himmel will preach on the Mature of
SIM"
The mission for men will open next
Sunday evening. The children of the
parish meet every afternoon at half-past
three, to receive instruction from one of
the Fathers. A class for converts, and
for adults who have not yet been COLI
firmed, is held in the chapel at seven
