ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY STARS 2
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
 of Bird Migration.


 of Bird Migration.
 In an article on Birds of Passage" the Chautauquan says if one desires an explanation for the great mystery of bird migration, there being nothing else that will answer, he will have to accept the theory of hereditary knowl- edge, knowledge of the unfailing stars. The Great Bear and Orion ap- peared at the same time in our region, water were very different than they are to-day. That the stars are the guides for birds agrees with the fact that they fly at remarkable heights, often above the clouds, and that wan derers lose their way when they stray into clouds and mists.
 On starlight nights struggling birds are seldom noticed. When the sky is overcast, when the night is dark, but especially when fine rain is falling, multitudes of travelling birds are heard. Then they call often, doubtless for the purpose of keeping near each other; and often great numbers of them bound against the windows of light houses. Thus Gatke has observed that on October 9S, 1882, from ten o'clock at night till the next morning golden crested wrens bumped like snowfakes againstthe lighthouse of Heligoland, and that on the following day golden crested wrens sat on every square foot of Heligoland.
 Toward the end of the summer, along into the fall, it was not rare occur renee on dark nights to see, through the light of street lamps, birds flying over inland cities. The experienced observer recognizes by it's call the cur lew and the strand-snipe, sea-swallow and seagull, occasionally hears even the flap of their wings. But no bird is visible in the darkness. On dark nights no stars appear; then it is that the stray ing bird loses his way. The stars are the most plausible guides to birds in their migrations. But only the future can tell us whether they really serve in that capacity.

DANGER IN TOYS.

Those Sold on the Street May Convey
 Infection.
 The reading public is by this time fairly conversant with the ordinary sources of danger from contagion to which it is exposed, and it has been duly warned to avoid the indiscrimi- nate use of hair brushes and towels, and of the ear pieces of the phcnograph; to touch not with ungloved hand the brass guiding rail of the street car, and to be suspicious even of the telephone transmitter. But, according to med ical journal, the latest hazard in infec- tion is confined to children. Many in genious toys are now offered on the sidewalks of city streets by itinerant vendors. One of these is tube of pa per, furnished with a short piece of bamboo at one end, up to which it is coiled by the action of a slight steel spring. On blowing into the bamboo the coil is unrolled and shoots out near ly yard, and the sudden extension has a comical effect, very entertaining to the youthful mind. Another form of toy is the miniature bagpipe, which is made to emit its characteristic sounds by the pressure of air from small rub Der ball which has been inflated by air blown from the mouth. Attention is called to the possible consequences of buying these toys, which are presented to child after being inflated by ques- tionable breath, and perhaps wetted with the moisture of the still more questionable lips of the vender. An in fected mouthpiece has been known to be the origin of grave constitutional troubles, and it seems strange that per sons who would hesitate to drink out of

POLAR BEAR AND WALRUS.
Strange Association Existing Between the
 Two Animals.


 Old voyagerS in Behring sea tell of a strange association between the wal rus and the polar bear. The walrus furnishes the principal foood of this great carnivore, which is his deadliest foe, in fact, yet to see them together, as they frequently are encountered, one might think they were Loon com panions. Lying upon the field ice will often be seen patches of walrus con- taining from thirty to fifty, and with each of these groups will be found the polar bear. They all are apparently resting together in the happiest sort of unity. Occasionally walrus Hops into the water and sinks leisurely into the depths, while others will be seen emerging the-efrom and climbing up on the ice.
 The bear becomes hungry and de- cides he will dine with the walrus that day. He rises to his launches and sways himself heavily upon all fours. After a yawn and stretch he saunters to the nearest walrus and swings his power ful paw in crushing blow on it's head, instantly killing the animal. He then proceeds leisurely to make com fortable dinner off the unfortunate ob- ject of his selection. This perform ance, apparently, does not startle the others. They continue to bask un- disturbed, seemingly indifferent to the fate of their comrade and awaiting their turn like stoics. The female wal rus with young, however, does not tol- crate the presence of the bear. She regards him with merited suspicion, and promptly takes to the water with her offspring on his appearance.

glass that has been used will buy these toys and take them to their chil- dren without thought of the disease by which they may have been contami mated. Among the impoverished mak- CTS and vendors, sore threats, diphthe- ria and contagious levers in very early stages may be raging, and children may contract fatal diseases of even a worse character than any of these by using these toys.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the 'Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.

Severe Accident.

While breaking in a team of mules
on Casper Silva's ranch at Mokuleia on
the afternoon of the Fourth of July,

wheels of the heavy dray. Three ribs
were broken and the unfortunate man
suffered some bad bruises.

OLD TINE LUAU.
Given at Pacific Mail Wharf for
Dock Laborers and Boat BOYS.


Dock Laborers and Boat Boys.
At noon on the Fourth OF July a
regular old time luau was given on the
Pacific Mail wharf for the benefit of
the boat boys, dock hands and other
laborers along the wharyes and their
families Clarence Crabbe and Archie
Gilfllan were in charge of the affair.
The Eva half of the wharf was fixed
up in true Hawaiian style, with decora-
tions OF ferns, MALE and flowers. Mats
and bullrushes were spread about on
the floor, and upon this was set a table
laden with native dishes of all kinds.
Over two hundred natives sat down to
the feast. Among the foreigners pres
ent were Pilots Macauley and Saunders,
Clarence Crabbe, Archie Gilf1llan, Cap
tain Quincy and Frank Porter. There
was not the slightest sign of hilarity
The boys enjoyed themselves in quiet
way and gorged themselves to their
hearts content. Soda water, ginger ale
and ice water were alone allowed. Al
coholic drinks of any description what
soever were tabooed. Clarence Crabbe
and Archie Gilfllan deserve great credit
for their succuess in getting up the
luau and carrying it through so well.
The natives say they never have had
such a good time in all their lives.
