The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1895-01-26

land has endorsed the application |
of the English syndicate for the F.,
lease of Nccker Island for cable |
purposes must be a surprise to !
people here who thought the |
United States would oppose |
British interests in Hawai-. Still
greater encouragement comes
from Congress in the speech Of
MIR Hit who advises a subsidy. !
1t is strange with the advance. |
mcnt Hawai- has made in the
last twenty wears that sufficient
interest has not been aroused in !
the United States to have built !
a cable long ago. The CONNER
cial interests demand it and !
events during the past few wears |
show that it would have been |
better for the two governments
il IT had been in operation. To |
day we are about as isolated as
a civilized community can be
md it is really pleasing to see
the people OF England awaken
ing to the importance of a means
OF rapid communication between
the two countries.
We could fill this column with
testimonials as to the superiority
Of the Pasteur filter which we
are now selling. All or nearly
all OF the prominent physicians
from Maine to California say 1t
is the best they have ever exam
med and druggists over the
same territory endorse it and
are using it in preference to dis
titled water. In San Francisco
the saloons use the PaSteur be-
cause it purities the water and
prevents any bad effect in the
whisky. Where this filter is
used bacteria is unknown. Dr..
Samuel Ayres OF Kansas City,
says: Upon analysing a sample
OF Missouri river water drawn
from a hydrant he found large
quantities OF inorganic matter in
solution or suspension. While
specimen that had passed
through a Pasteur filter was en-
tlrely free from organic or inor-
ganic matter Any one who
has crossed the continent knows
what the water of the Missouri
River is.
A Honolulu physician says he
mixed muddy water, oil and
mix together and had it pass
through a Pasteur. " The
water came out entirely pure
and free from unpleasant effects.
The doctor says it is the most
efficient filter he has ever seen.
We have made closer inspec-
ton of our little sets of carvers'
tools and find really more in
them to recommend than we
thought at first glance. 1t is
astonishing how such apparently
perfect tools for the purpose can
be made for the money. The
same may be said of the family
tool Chests-perfeCtion in every
detail and the price down at bed !
rock.
The third invoice OF Electric
