Mr.. EDITOR: Sir-This place
being right in the line of travel for
the folks that may be coming from
Honolulu to the East, by the Can
adam line, etc., etc., I thought it
might be pleasant for those about
to travel to know that they could
stay here for few hours or a day
or two if they wished it. There is
one of the best men holding the
Hawaiian Consulate here, Judge
James G. Swan, who would be glad
to show visitors the wonderful col
lection of Indian curiosities that he
has, and other acts of kindness
that he so well shows to all who
come here. The scenery around
here is grand, and well pays visit,
and all Honolulu folks will be well

The Memory of the Late King.

The Memory of the Late King.
Mr.. EDITOR Matthew Arnold
describes the average religious life
as "a life of jealousy of other
churches, disputes and tea-meet-
ings." The recent unseemly series
Of recriminations in our religious
journals would seem to justify the
estimate above given.
With regard to the condemna-
ton and defence of a certain mar
riage, l should think the bride
groom might have something to
say, if indeed he considered it
worth while to notice the squab-
blings of the reverend DDS. But
the attack made in ''The Friend "
on the memory of the late King is
an unwarranted attempt to vilify
the memory of a dead man. The
fact that he was King need not be
considered. | venture, however,
to think that every man Of ordin
airy courtesy should respect the
feelings of his sister who holds his
memory in love, lady, our reign
ing Sovereign. The odium theo-
logicum has led the editor of ''The
Friend" glaringly to sin against
public decency. The King is gone.
1t is with him as with many others !;
the evil he may have committed
lives after him, the good lies buried
with his bones but it is a miser-
able occupation for minister and
an editor in his feverish anxiety to
show the demoralizing effects of
another church, to lower himself to
the ranks of a Partisan chiffonier,
and from the heap of long-forgot-
ten rubbish to pick out filth and
deflement and hold them out to
public view.
/ do not discuss the question OF
the propriety of sinners approach
ing the communion, or if it be
necessary to be as pure as we all
know members of other churches
are, but this offense is venial when
compared with the outrage on pub
lie decency in dragging a dead
mans faults before the public as a
means to SO paltry an end. hope
and believe the public of Honolulu
will show their sense of disappro
baton by not suffering the Kala
kaua monument to fail of erection
so that when their turn comes t.
die they may deserve to have apollo
| gists other than shepherds.

An Error in the LOrd's Prayer.

A party of gentlemen were the other
evening discussing literary subjects
when one asked another to point ont the
grammatical blunder in the Lords
Prayer. Half . dozen tried; some
thought it lay in the words, which art
in heaven" others placed it elsewhere,
but not one detected it in the expression,
"For thine is the kingdom, the power
and the glory" To be perfectly correct
the word ''is" should be ''are," but people
have used it in the present form 50 long
that they never think of regarding it as
blunder. There are teachers who say
such an expression is right, because it
sounds right, but reverse it and say,
"The kingdom, the power and the glory
is thine" and the fault is soon perceived

An electrical application, which il
snly waiting until electricity can be as
extensively distributed as water to be
generally adopted. is the electric fire en-
gine. 1t Is even now being used TO q
limited degree. In an experiment at
the late Crystal palace electrical exhibit
tion the motor was worked on a circuit
at a pressure of los volts. With this
pressure, when running at about $50
revolutions per minute. the pump pro-
pelled a jet of water from 1-inch noz-
zle to a height of 100 feet, the water
pressure being seventy-five pounds per
square inch.
With two delivery hose pipes ON ut
once, having nozzles respectively one
inch and seven-eighths inch, the motor
ran at $50 revolutions per minute and
the pressure was forty-five pounds to
the square inch, the two jets rising TO a
height of about eight feet. The com.
bination Of an electric motor and q
pump has manifest advantages over the
steam fire engine, provided supply of
current is available.
In the case of the latter it is always
necessary to keep up steam, so that time
will not be lost when an alarm is sound
ed, and the fact that the motor is in
stantly ready for service as soon as q
current is turned on makes it obviously
better adapted to many conditions. It
IS beyond question that the day will
soon come when the distribution of elec-
tricity will be so general that the pump
operated by an electric motor will be
the most important piece of fire fighting
apparatus. - Pittsburg Dispatch.
