pigeons are well enough for pas
time or for an emergency means
of communication. What is
wanted, however, for the pur-
poses of the islands is a tested, |
approved and certain means OF
sending and receiving messages
day and night, in season and out
of season. Other countries and
people have more funds for eX-
perimcnts than Hawaii. Did
YOU ever notice the number and
variety of schemes that the
newspapers present to their
readers : A writer will in few
inches OF space advance sugges-
tons that may require barrels OF
money and years of toll to re.
duce or elevate to utility. Then
they may never give the matter
another line and mention it only
in conversation as testimony
that the few men who work down
their soul-cascs for the Commu-
nifty are slow. The real way to
do in the editing business is to
generally provide interesting
matter along certain lines, then
when YOU see that the citizens
really want something done and
propose to do it, just keep re-
minding them OF it. No news
paper can get more that six
inches beyond public opinion
without "corking" itself. If the
reader agrees he'll say the editor
has good head on him. If he
thinks differenton what the paper
says, he'llremark that the editor
: is fool. And this thing of aC-
cusing newspapers OF lying needs
E ventilation. If the paper told
half the lies its friends wanted il
to, it would have the full OF
every other column nothing but
lies every issue. They say in the
States that the New Woman
still thinks pretty well of the old
man and continues to drag his
, Jeans" for silver. Besides the
ordinary assortment OF males
who are non persona grata to
thinking men in Honolulu we
have, observers have noted, two
classes of nuisances on two legs
l One is the man willing to agree
: with the majority providing the
e majority thinks as he does. The
= other is the very numerous indi
vidual who thinks he should bt
general manager of this or tha
! "whole works" when he is ftteo
:, by education, training and native
u ability for about the humbles
ot billet in the establishment. Thest
II men are simply mot next tc
IS themselves The principa
,s local event at hand is the Cele
. bration on the 24th of the 7otl
. birthday of Her Majesty ViCto
l. ria, Queen of Great Britain anC
to Ireland, Empress OF India, De
" fender OF the Faith, etc.
Y. One of the greatest inco1ven
o. fences in connection with
windmill is the leaking OF tn
tank. When the water is low
=, the tank shrlnks and OF cours
~ leaks. If you examine our mode
ne of the Patent Non Shrinkin!
er Tank you will see its advantages
he The tank is made with a dee
,e channel or groove IN the top @
i the slaves. This groove is file,
h. with water from pump discharg
!, which, by absorption, passes int
~ the pores OF the wood, keeping
or the entire tank moist at all time
re and preventing shrinkage. Tn
10 incoming water from the pun
es discharge first fills the Channe
=, and the surplus passes into tn
II tank, flowing down the inne
ne surface of the tank wall. Tn
ed object OF this is to keep the joint
IL tight.
r. While we are talking of waite
supply we wish to keep beior
your mind the superiority Of tn
er Improved Stone Filter. Tn
- water comes through this pecl
10 liar quality of stone as pure an
y. clear as it possibly can be. T
rs clean the stone just brush the to
at every morning.
&c Next to having pure water t
ID drink, is having comfortable an
clean bathing, Our cast irO
~ enameled bath tub. nick
ne plated fittings are such deligh
p tul things that once partaking
p, their pleasures you leave thel
n with sigh.
70 We desire to call your attel
:. ton to the fact that while speal
ing OF specialties each week, "
a' also keep up our stock OF stapl
be goods. Our flat solid ware

% wife admires So much as he
D collection OF shining silver.
