security, they say, and exemption from
chronic revolution. These are useful and
sensible views, and We may rejoice that
our royalist friends are beginning to get
their eyes opened under the pressure Of
hard facts. We desire the league to have
every success.
Business is fairly prosperous in Homo
lulu. Our harbor is rather crowded at
times. SO many are the ships. Do you
know that Honolulu stands among the
highest foreign ports in the world as to
the tonnage of American shipping visit
ing it? Unless Congress soon begins work
in opening Pearl Harbor, we may have to
do it ourselves, to make room for our sur
plus shipping.
A Town of Telephones.
Honolulu VIGOROUSLY is the best supplied
with telephones of any town on the globe.
There are over 1000 to a population of
$4,000. When a steamer is signaled by
whistles the central office is bombarded
with questions: Central, where is the
steamer" And the operator reports at
regular intervals to the crowd: ''Off Koko
Head or lon Waimaualo," or Ten miles
SOUTH as the case may be. If the fire
alarm sounds, then, Central, where is the
fiEe?" Most Of US merely turn central on
and listen to the buzz Of questions and
