The Niariposa will fall due tomor-
row from the Colonies and Samoa.
She will have twelve days later news
via Auckland.
On account of the crowded condi-

As orders from the plantations did
not arrive until by the Claudine last
night the Iwalani did not sail yester-
day. She got away about 10 o'clock
this morning.
The Waialeale came off the Marine
railway late Tuesday and the brig
Lurline went up. 1t is found that the
damage to the bottom of the latter is
not very serious.
The Lilielike did not get away until
nearly dark last night. She refused
freight. This will be her last trip to
Maui, as the Claudine will be sent out
on that route next Tuesday.

Representations sent out from the
weather bureau, it is amusing to read
of the complaisant manner III which
Clough, in his New England Alma
mack" for the year 1902 and later, pre-
dicted the weather.

to the 23d Of January, 1T will be very
cold weather if it frese by the Preside
or on the sunny side Of fence at noon. :"
In April he says: perhaps wet
weather if it rains =" "Now fair wealth

And in July he writes pleasantly,

pie to Cam bridge do repair.
1t appears that Mr.. Samuel Clough

criticism.

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of BOTTLES annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be moie
pleasant to the taste and more benz
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process Of manufact-.
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
ative, and to act most beneficially.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

Tires fitted with air tubes slightly
larger than the wheel are far less liable
to puncture than when tubes Of the ex-
act size are used. The reason for this is
due, Of course, 10 the fact that rubber
i'll loose tension cuts easily. Two years
ago a cycle man had pair Of tires witt
80 inch air tubes fitted Oh 20 inch
Wheels and, although using his ma
chine almost every day, he has never
experienced puncture. On several &C.
