Throwing the Discns.

Robert Garrett the discus thrower, in
letter to Harry w. Cornish of New
York says: 81 see that you throw d
discus weighing pounds. If SO you
have very different one from that
adopted by the modern Greeks-theirs
weighs 2 kgs., or 2-5 pounds / do
not think a fairly strong man, with a
long arm, should have much difficulty
in throwing this 1870 or 1870 feet after
earnest practice. l have myself thrown
1t about 102 feet in practice in May
last, although fear l could not do that
now i'll competition. My throw Of 05
feet inches i'll Athens was made on the
afternoon of the first day ever saw a
disk; SO you see it cannot be a difficult
effort. | should think that James S.
Mitchell could throw disk of A 30
pounds over the fence and out of sight, ;
and expect to hear Of Linn doing some
thing of that sort. New York Sun.

SENSELESS OPPOSITION.

When The Star presented the sub
ject of Armenian labor and colonizing
for Hawaii opposition was anticipated.
That may be expected from any in
novation or new plan. There are al
ways the ultra-conservative to hang
back, the inactive to silently protest
against departure from drifting
There are those fearful any course in
volving even the slightest risk OF haN-
ing the thinnest tinge of experiment.
Then there are those governed by self
ish motives. Finally the grain sized
souls jealous of anything their slow
intellects have failed to produce. The
Star has led off in this movement at
the suggestion of some of the most
valuable and Representative citizens of
the Islands. The matter will not be
dropped until there is clear and posi-
tive demonstration of fatal faults or
absolute impracticability. 1t has been
shown in this paper that the Armen-
ians are adapted to the open and very
apparent labor and citizenship needs
of Hawaii. This assurance comes from
men who are familiar with that peo-
pie and who as well are acquainted in
timately with the chief industry of
Hawaii. There has arrived a crisis in
the industrial situation and the pres.
sure can only be relieved by some de-
cisive step. That step should be in
the direction of trial with the Ar
menians. They are looking for re-
fuge for the present as well as home
for the future. Did they fall far short
of what is claimed for them, few
thousand could not harm Hawaii
They would not prove birds of pas
sage-eXporters of their earnings.
Their citizenship would be permanent
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-11-06

They are more than willing to destroy
the bridges behind turning 'their
backs forever upon a land of religious
persecution and daily carnage. Their
industry and thrift are guaranteed.
That they would be satisfied here after
escaping from the oven and slaughter
house of Turkey must seem certain.
That some course must be followed to
at least equalize the immigration
flood is granted by all. Let the whole
project be considered from the basis
of facts and requirements. The Star
believes that it will be. 1t is highly
improbable that the Honolulu organ
or organs of japanese and Chinese i'm
migration companies can have infiu-
ence or command or hold attention in
the discussion. The time has come in
Hawaii when moss backs and schem-
ing obstructionists, putting self-inter-
est ahead, must take back seat for
progress.

The holidays are approach
ing at the rate of a day every
twenty-four hours, and this is
the month when children fix
their attention on literature
in which Santa Claus takes a
leading part, and wives and
daughters allow theirs to dwell
on the old gentleman's purse.
An old lady was once asked
the age when girls gave up
playing with dolls, and the
answer came back; "When
they have children of their
own" SO it is about Santa
Claus. Children give him up
as mythical when they are old
enough to realize a flesh and
blood Santa Claus in their
father. If it happens to be a
girl, she will cling to the old
gentleman until she wins a
Santa Claus who will be her
individual property.
1t is with these flesh and
blood Santa Claus that we
wish to whisper. On the
Australia which arrived last
week there were several large
cases of solid silver ware for
us. In turn we will dispose of
it to Santa Claus. We will
have no difficulty in doing
this as the assortment is from
four Of the largest and best
factories in the United States.
You will have an opportu-
nifty to view the goods later.

INSPECTOR.
Resignation of w. L. Warmer ant
Appointment of Mr.. Hoffman.

At a short meeting of the Board of
Underwriters in the Chamber of Com
merce building yesterday afternoon,
the resignation of w. |. Warmer, as
electrical inspector, was accepted.
Mr.. Warmer goes to California to
locate permanently. There will be no
appointment to the vacancy, Manager
Theodore Hoffman, of the Electric
Light Works, looking after this work.
\ year ago things were in bad shape
in Honolulu in the electrical line and
the Board of Underwriters employed
Mr.. Warriner to make inspections.
During his term he has put electrical
appurtenances about the city in good
shape and it will require but little
attention of the Electric Light COM
pany to keep them SO.

Freak betting is one OF the worst
insanities of the sovereign people of
the United States. According to the
Philadelphia Times the most remark
able wager between friends of McKin-
ley and Bryan was one in which the
penalty stipulated was that the loser
should promptly leave the United
States and remain an exile from his
native land for the remainder of his
life. The parties to this wager, which
entails so great a sacrifice, were G. N.
Donaldson and Fred w. Burke, of Mil
waukee,. Wis. Both are men of prom
inence in the business and social cir
cles of that city and in the prime of
life, and neither made any definite
plans in regard to the occupation he
would follow on taking up a residence
in foreign lands.
There should be new department
in the campaign bureaus in the United
States. 1t would be well to provide
free treatment for these lunatics of
betting,

Some of the people who are perhaps
only Indifferent to the "closer political
union of Hawaii and the United
States" when they subdue their
prejudices should indulge more IN
looking forward. When annexation
or coalition is established all uncer-
tainty that may be attached to the
chief industry here will be removed. 1t
may possibly be true that the profits
will not be quite so great, but they
will be assured, steady and constant.

terprises here, especially in cane sugar,
are at the mercy of the ofttimes err
ratio legislation of the United States

A new combination handle bar has
been invented. 1t is made of wood and
steel. The leading feature in connection
with it is that it can be adjusted while
riding. The joint that controls the posi-
ton is called friction joint by it's
inventor, and is warranted not to loosen
unexpectedly and to the great conster-
nation of the rider. The handle bar is
light and fits almost all machines.
