The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1895-06-26
Tine FL. 1906.

The subject future and pos
sibIllties of Hawaii" is a topic
that has almost as much of the
glitter of Il generality as most
of the titles selected by Sweet
Girl Graduates. Seriously,
even this decade may witness
u 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 90 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 a long time, will tell you
that when proposals became
largely dependent on circum-
tsances, they have a way of
working themselves out regard
lessof the statesmen or hum
bier thinkers, and how things
do get magnifed unimpor-
lance when they become dive
issues.
Our first small order of the
Manarch Bicycle is about ex-
hausted. We have sold eight
of these wheels-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 they 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.
