sistants-Promise of Many Tables.
When the new '96 census of the Ha-
waiian Islands is printed, the news
population has increased 10000 people
since the last census was taken, six
years ago.
Mr.. \. I. Atkinson, the superinten-
dent of the census, and his corps of
assistants at work in the judiciary
building, came to a grand total of the
entire population on the islands this
morning. The number was 10000.
While this is not exact, still Super
intendent Atkinson is quite sure that
the correct number will not vary u
hundred or two either way from the
rough estimate made by his force to-
day.
"Hawaii's population has been in
creasing very rapidly during the past
two or three years." remarked the
census superintendent. "While I am
not in possession of the information
at present to tell exactly how large
the foreign immigration has been to
the islands during the past six years
still | know that the greater bulk has
been from Japan and China.
THE whites have a very noticeable
increase on all of the islands, almost
all of them having come from Amer
lea.
"The first rough statement of this
years census will be out within a day
or two. This will not distinguish the
haoles on the islands. The second
table, which | hope to have completed
next month, will give the number of
natives, male and female; number of
part Hawaiian, male and female; num-
Der of those born here of foreign par
eigners, both male and female. This
table will also contain A comparison
of the population in 1890 and 1896.
THE third table will show the num-
Der OF those born here of foreign par
entage and dividing them off into
special nationalties. 1t will also give
the total natiOnalities according to the
islands.
The fourth table will give the pop
ulation in nationalities according to
the districts in the islands.
"The fifth table will give ages by
nationalities and sects.
"The sixth table, nationality, sect
and occupation.
THE seventh table will be exceed
ingly interesting. We will endeavor
to give the nationality and sects of all
born here. The table will give the
blood of each native born and will
show the number of haoles who took
unto themselves native women foI
their wives.
The last table in the census will
give the social conditions in districts
residences, buildings in each repre-,
sentative district and other interest,
ing information"
Superintendent Atkinson says a Ger,
tain amount of the work will be issued
by March next. He hopes to have the
census complete by the middle of next
June.
In his estimate of the population OF
Oahu and Kauai made public some
time ago, Superintendent Atkinson es
timated that Honolulu contains be.
tween 10000 and 10000 people.

America,s Need of caxalrx.

Discussing the possibilities of war
with England, and the strength of the
United States militia or nationa! guard,
some of our newspapers lately boosted
that an army of 100000 men could be
thrown into Canada within a few
weeks. How many of these men would
be mounted on horseback? 1t is very
pertinent inquiry, for it requires from
three to six months training to make
a cavalryman, and some of the states
which furnish large contingents to the
national guard have not a single troop
of horses. If there is any lesson that
the failure of the confederacy can teach
us, it is this: that an invasion of
Canada--and do not mean that such
thing is in the least probable or de-
sirable-made without sufficient caval-
ry would be as barren of permanent
results as it would be if made with an
army Of observation-disclosures Rose,

STORM HYPNoTIsM.
London Writer Tells of His Strange
Experience in Paris.

A London Writer Tells of His Strange
Experience in Paris.
The recent disastrous cyclone in
Paris, which was one of the first of the
kind ever experienced in that city, has
opened up a discussion ON the subject
hitherto but little Investigated, the
mesmeric or hypnotic influence of
storms.
1t is well known that birds and other
animals are often restless and disquiet-
ed before an earthquake or a severe
storm, and there is every reason to sup
pose that they perceive the prelim-
mary tremors and air vibrations be-
fore they are felt by man.
A correspondent of London daily
describes the experience of himself and
his wife in Paris as illustrative of the
impressions to which highly strained
and nervous organizations are subject
under certain conditions of atmos-
pheric or electric disturbance. The
night before the storm they went to
the theater. The atmosphere was
sitting; it was almost impossible to
breathe. They both experienced a
dead, dull depression on the brain,
that can only be described as the symp-
toms of semi-inebriety.
They went dinnerless and supperless
to bed and slept, unconscious of every
thing. In the morning the woman was
seriously i'll. Her lips ard skin were
burning. She could not swallow, and
could scarcely articulate. The pupils
OF her eyes were dilated, the whites
were yeined and almost jet black She
had every symptom of narcotic poison
ing. By dint of great courage she re-
covered somewhat and they sat in the
courtyard of their hotel while the cy-
clone ragged, feeling it, but seeing moth
ing of its terrors. They started for
their English home on the night boat.
The writer says that he went dazed into
the car and fell asleep instantly. He
has no recollection of the trip across
the channel, being in stupor all the
way.
He left London soon after to go
down into the country. He says: II
slept in the train, and have gone on
sleeping every few minutes ever since.
The cyclone was on Thursday. 1t is
NV Sunday, and am as sleepy as an
owl; but gradually the mesmeric infu-
ence of the storm is fading away.
"The hypnotism of the cyclone is
decreasing. The intolerable pressure
of the brain is getting less acute, but
there still remain that awful burning

them with loud report, like the crack
