NEW FIRE ALARM SOON TO BE IN
USE IN THE CITY.
Same as San Francisco Sports-Im-
ported by an Insurance Man-No
More Confusion in This Field.

In another three or four days the
people of Honolulu will hear a strange
noise. 1t will be chime whistle and
will be heard distinctly in every nook
and corner of the city.
This new departure is to be Homo
lulu's fire alarm and it will be sta
toned on the roof of the electric light
building. The whistle arrived on the
now at the Electric Liz hit Works, p~
ing put into position.
1t is piece of mechanism that re-
quires skillful handling. The whistle
is fully five feet in height and is quite
heavy. Manager Theodore Hoffman,
of the Electric Light works, says that
it is very similar to one that was used
in San Francisco during his residence
there. 4 he people of Oakland knew
when there was a fire in the city, be-
cause the whistle could be easily
heard. The whistle that win be set
up in Honolulu can be heard seven
miles away.
Under the present system in vogue
there is no distinction in the whistles
to alarm the people of confagration
or to tell them of an approaching
steamer. The only difference made is
in the number of whistles. One, two.
three blows when a steamer is sight
ed and from four to seventy-four in
case of fire.
By the new arrangement ADOPTED by
Chief Hunt of the Fire Department,
and Mr.. Jos. Gilman and others of the
Board of Underwriters, the old whis-
tie will be used for the arrival of
steamers and the new one for fires
only. The new whistle will be the
central fire alarm of the city.
The whistle was purchased by Jos.
Gilman, the prominent insurance man,
on behalf of the Underwriters Asso-
citation. 1t will be donated to the
city.
The whistle scheme is not matter
of the Underwriters Association Off
cially. but of the members as individ-
uals, led by Mr.. Gilman. The chime
may be tested Monday next.

WAS A BIC HIGH TIDE
WATER A FOOT DEEP IN THE
MYRTLE BOAT HOUSE.
Up to the Shooting Booths in Kakaako
"A Swell from the South-Shipping
Bobbed About-EXpert Opinion.

A very high tide was noticed all
along South Oahu between and 6
o'clock this morning. From the city
to Koko Head the swell was some
thing tremendous. Along the wharves
the water rose and dashed as it has
not done before in years. About 4
o'clock white caps came in as far as
the landing. Shipping danced about
awakened. The dredger's pipe line
was shifted and there was quite
clatter among the small boats at the
old fish market wharf.
At O'Clock water was foot deep
in the Myrtle Boat house. Some
young men stopping there were con-
siderably alarmed. Near the old i'm
migrant depot the water came out to
the houses, and was up to the-shooting
booths at the new Kakaako range.
DR.. \. b. Lyons attributes the phe-
nomenon to southerly wind on the
change of the moon. A stiff breeze
was blowing from the sea. He says
there is possibility of tidal wave in
fuence but he does not think such
was the ,ase.
Bill Williams, light house keeper,
says: "Hes, a heavy swell from the
sea was on up to o'clock. 1t was
due to the southerly wind, driving the
sea in. The swell was very stronA
but uniform, and could not nave been
caused by tidal wave influences.
have seen the same before. Many
years ago, at the time of the big har-
Dor fire, a sea swell of great violence
came in. tried ten times to come off
from the light house, but could not
make it. The Liltelike came very near
being swamped between the lighthouse
and the Pacific Mail wharf. A large
quantity of oil was that night dumped
into the harbor. But this caught fire
and old Harry was to pay. The tide
last night was the heaviest since the
one just spoken Of"
Inspector Needham: "Was on night
duty. Tide began to rise about 2
o'clock and reached the maximum at
4. Was very rough in the harbor.
Swell was due to strong southerly
wind. Think the same will occur
about those hours tonight"
c. S. Crane reported the high water
at the boat houses. He was over there
and was an eye witness to the great
swell. He rathr thought it at the time
to be tidal wave.

GERMS IN MILK.

The psychologists Of the Baltimore
Health Department in recent inyesti-
cations demonstrated that tuberculosis
or consumption is not the only disease
which may be communicated to man
through the agency of milk from infect
ed cows. The milk from a dairy Of
eighty cows was examined at the city
ARCHAEOLOGICAL laboratory q few days
ago. and sin It was easily found the
characteristic germs Of suppuration
called Steptoccol pyogenes, which It is
declared may cause blood poisoning or
ervsipelas."
1t is stated that these bacteria ex-
hibit great Vitality when they have
once gained access to human tissues.
The origin OF the disease appeared to be
confined to the udders of the injected
cows. The meteorological laboratory OF
the Baltimore Health Department is
proving its usefulness, and through It
the city Of Baltimore expects to secure
pure quality of milk. In the mean
while 1t may not be out Of place to ask
what Is Norfolk going to do2 1t Is said
that tuberculosis has been discovered
In one Of the herds OF cows from which
milk Is sold in this city.
