Lowell, The Falcon"
The nearest approach to the poets
ideal available in this little Paradise (ui
the Pacific is the the Falcon Bicyc Gle.
1t stands today without a peer in the
orld of cycles, and has taken first place
wherever introduced. 1t Ii manIfac-

COMPANY, a firm which has long since
acquired worldwide reputation for
the exec lence of their numerous pro-
auctions, notably the famous Yost type
writing machines. The reputation of
the manufacturers of an article should
receive the most careful consideration
OF an intending purchaser. II their re.

Bicy cles have only recently been intro.
duced in the Honolulu market they are
known all over the continent of Ameri-

In addition To It's high state of mechani
cal perfection the Falcon is by far the
easiest running machine in the market
| We make this assertion fearle sly ,
knowing whereof We state. This fea
.ure IN the Falcon has been brought
about by reduction of friction t, the
lowest possible point. In other ma
chimes the bearings are constructed
with fifteen balls, while in tn,
Falcon there ale only niue. In the
Falcon the bearings are 40 constructed
that the balls have only two points OF
contact ia their track. while ia most
other machines there are -four. In all
machines each ball will touch at five
points in one revolution of itself.
A whe,l with fifteen balls in each
bearing has therefore 70 points of fric
ton in performing one revolution on it's
axle. The Falcon bearing being con
structed with only nine balls has conse-
quently but 45 points Of friction, or 80
points less in each bearing than other
machines. Summed up briefly, in all
machines there are six axle bearings.
Take a wheel of another make, six
bearings each containing 10 balls. and
10 points of contact each bearing. $50

Thus making a saving Of lsC
points OF friction in favor Of the Falcon
over other machines.
