umed was sent after her. Seal
is quite an industry
For the peril involved and the
.isk assumed the profits are not
-eally great, though the returns
,eem large. It's not generally .
known that a seal skin does not
become a perfected article OF
commerce until it has been treat
ed in London. They arc pre-
pared nowhere else and the price
IS fixed at the British capital.
The raw skins are shipped across
the United States in barrels and
are generally carried on last
special trains. The writer re-
members the wreck OF one OF
these trans a few years ago and .
the CONSERVATION OF the plumb /
ercrS OF the occasion when they .
learned that the skins in the state /
OF transit were not worth steal F.
ing. otter hunting is even more
risky and profitable than seal
getting. An otter skin is worth
up to $500 to $1,000, willie a .
seals hide will rarely fetch over
SIS. 1t takes an average OF over
fifty bullets TO gain an otter and
they live in the toughest waters
in the world. The incident OF
the Jane Gray's appearar ce in
these waters is an example IT the
facility with which mistakes can
be made and the necessity for
thought. The erratiC course of
the big profit industries shows
why investments that are GER
tain, though giving small returns
are so.eagerly sought after.
Having become !avorab,v i'm.
pres ed with the merits Of the
Monarch Bicycle we have a de-
sire o place it before the people
OF Honolulu.
This machine III. ugh one of
the leading wheels in the States
is not very well known here, but
two being in use. To make you
acquainted with it our column
will be devoted this week to a
description of the Monarch
Bicycle.
Among high Grade wheels
the Monarch is in the front
rank.
1t is made OF the n ost cXpen-
sive and best material. 1t Is
made with the greatest care
and attention to details, b. the
most competent and eXperienc
cd mechanics. In quoting from
/ the latest catalogue, the manu-
iaCturCrS say:
ain making the Monarch, no
/ pains, no expense, no time or
trouble has been spared t. put
it ahead and keep it ahead of all
other wheels in the word; to
make the designs the most
graceful and handsome the
most up to date in every parti,
cuIar; TO make it a marvel OF
beauty, strength and swiitness.'
The frame is the most import.
ant part of the bicycle. In rid
ing the greatest strain ia lis on
the irame---to withstand the
strain the frame must be cd.
ingly strong and rlged.
The Monarch frame is made
OF the best quality of spirally
I drawn Mannesmann steel tubing
Each frame is put together with
! a Jug, which mechanically turns
it, thus making it perfectly
accurate.
Brazing is a very important
Operation and has to be done
| very deIiCately by expert work
men The b az'ng on the Mon
arch frames Is a special process
carried out with the creates
care and attention To dela |; anc
50 successful is this process, tha'
in al the years the Monarch ha'
been in use there has Hc9er We
been a breakage on any wheel
at a brazing, tr0m any caHS'.
The Monarch ball bearings
are somewhat different from
other makes, the cones are mad,
5 with a fiat instead OF a Concav,
5 surface, and as there is less sur
| face for the balls to run ON Their,
mu be less friction, m king tn
wheel move easier.
Every chain is made q tn
hardest and finest steel AMI test
ed thoroughly before pat i
