Slblll les OF Hawai- is a topic
that mas almost as much of the
glitt n OF "A generality as most
of tn titles selected by Sweet
Girl Graduates. Seriously |
wen this decade may witness
a marvellous Transformation on
Oahu. An electric line for
Honolulu means as an ultimate |
development an electrical
freight and passenger service
clear around the island. In
crease of tourist travel means
several more large hotels.
There might be one ON Tanta-
lus, one on Diamond Head,
another at Waianae or Waia-
lua Men rack their brains to
devise methods for inducing
progress. Most Of the public
spirited citizens 60 the ON idea
that the same rules moving a
small body can be adapted to
give impetus to large affairs.
This is all right in theory, but
some men who have been on
earth Il long time, will tell you
that when proposals became
largely dependent on circum-
tsances, they have a way OF
working themselves out regard
lcssof the statesmen or hum
bier thinkers, and how things
do get magnitied unimpor-
lance when they become "live
issues"
Our first small order of the
Manarch Bicycle is about eX-
hausted. We have sold eight
of these whcels-think of it,
eight in a little over a week.
There must be some reason for
this large sale. We think it
must be that merit wins, and
that the Monarch must be one
of the best, if not THE best
bicycle yet invented. Anyway
we sold them and thew must
be good wheels. Speaking of
our selling the Monarch, we
wish the people Of Honolulu to
know that the Hawaiian Hard
ware Company are the only
authorized agents on the Ha-
waiian Islands and we have
received a communication to
the effect that we will be pro-
tected in this territory.
