Some Comment on Hawaii.

The Provisional Government at
Honolulu seems to have the full con
idence of the people. The fact that
the Government bonds are selling at
par is strong evidence Of this Much
interest will be taken in the report OF
Minister Blount There is much
doubt as to its nature, but it is unlikely
that he favors annexation. The Ha-
waian impression, that he favors a
protectordte, is probably not far from
correct. Los angeles Express.
Mr.. James BIount is again in this
country, and about to travel eastward
from San Francisco. Janiturs and
other pers MS in charge If buildings,
and officials having the direction of G..
A. r. posts are requested to refrain
from exhibiting the American flag till
Mr.. Blount gees by, in order that his
feelings may not be injured on the way
through. Signal service observers may
display the c Id wave flag Pueblo
Chieftam.
The japanese have political inter
est in the matter, as their Government
would be glad to obtain control of the
Islands. The Chinese understand that
annexation will bring them under the
scope If our restriction laws. Our
people have an interest in preventing
the MongoiianIzation of this most i'm
portant island group of the Pacific,
lying off the Golden Gate. That these
people oppose annexation is, in itself,
reason enough for US to favor it. S. +.

THE PERKINS PROPOSAL.

California would probably oppose
Senator Perkins idea of annexing these
Islands to that State on the ground
that the purchasable vote here nigh,
be used by the Southern Pacific Com,
parry to stamp out all movements in
tended to curb the railroad monopoly,
Other objections attaching to Chinese
and Japanese labor would be made,
and considerations Of distance and local
state government would intervene. As
the Examiner points out better status
for Hawaii is the Territorial one, and
this, we think, should be the result OF
a transtory form of administration
modelled on that Of the District Of
Columbia. The Perkios plan, while
acceptable enough here asa means Of
getting into the United States, could
hardly pass muster in the California
legislature, and cannot be regarded as
practicable solution Of Hawaiian
problems.

Calculating the Distance Of Storm

Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously, an interval of
shorter or longer duration is usually OBJ
served between these two phenomena,
which is due to the fact that sound trav-
els only at the rate of LOO feet per Sec
ond, while the passage Of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact, it
is an easy matter to tell, at least approx
imately, how many miles thunder
storm is away. A normal pulse will
beat about one stroke to the second, and
by counting the pulse beats during the
interval Of the lightning and the thunder
tho lapse Of seconds is arrived at and
consequently the number of feet. which
can be reduced to miles.
For example: If 30 seconds elapse be-
tween the fash OF the lightning and the
crash Of thunder, the storm center is at
q distance Of $4,000 feet, or about 81
miles. An almost accurate calculation
can be made by using watch with q
minute dial.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

of overhead wires of his own construc-

sufficient length to demonstrate the
practicability of communication by tele-
graph between long distances.
Details of his overhead telegraph wires
were published by him in 1923. Ro-

At the close OF the second war with
England peace found this country dotted
with furnaces and factories which had
sprung up under the precarious shelter
OF embargo and war. These not yet
firmly established found themselves sud-
denly exposed to relentless and deter
mined foreign competition. Great
Britain poured her fabrics, far below
cost, upon our markets in a perfect
deluge. Our manufactures went down
like grass before the mower, and our
agriculture and the wages of labor
speedy followed. Financial prostra-
lion was general and the presence Of
debt was universal. In New England
fully one-fourth Of the property went
through the sheriff's mill. and the pro-
stra*ion was scarcely less general else
where. In Kentucky the presence Of
debt was simply intolerable. In New
York the leading merchants, in 1917 un-
tied in a memorial to Congress to save
our commerce az we'll as our manu-
features from utter ruin, by increasing
the Tariff duties. Horace Greeley.
