The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1895-01-24
January p, 1898.

Of the English syndicate for the
lease of NcCker Island for cable t
purposes must be a surprise to t
people here who thought the
United States would oppose
British interests in Hawai-. Still {
greater encouragement comes |
from Congress in the speech OF
Mr.. Hit who advises subsidy.
1t is strange with the advance
ment Hawai- has made in the
last twenty years 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
if it had been in operation. 10
day we are about as isolated as
a civilized community can be
and it is really pleasing to see
the people of England awaken
ing to the Importance of 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 it |
is the best they have ever exam
ined 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 purifies 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
a specimen that had passed
through a Pasteur filter was en-
tirely 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
milk 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 car
be made for the money. The
} same may be said of the family
tool Chests-perfeCtion in every
!, detail and the price down at bee
rock.
