Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Sept. 10, 1896.

While in Hawaii we are safe
from those fatal heat waves that
have recently been so disastrous
in parts of the United States,
yet we all like to keep cool,
pleasant and happy. Now al
most the only way, or rather the
best way, is to be the fortunate
possessor of an ALASKA RE-
FRIGERATOR which we have
in different sizes and at proper
tionate prices. They are per-
fection, and beautiful pieces Of
furniture.
Then there is the ALASKA
ICE CHEST, without compart-
ment, in four sizes ranging in
price from 50 to $1S. They are
q necessity in every household,
and so good and cheap as to be
purchaseable by all.
Another convenience in every
home is the GEM ICE CREAM
FREEZER, in capacity from 2
quarts upwards and at extremely
moderate prices.
We must also look after our
beautiful lawns and lovely flowers
and for this purpose we most
highly and sanguinely recon-
mend our 9-inch RUBBER
GARDEN HOSE, which we
have in % and so feet lengths.
Come and inspect these goods
under our new management.

All people who could get away from

simply absurd and proves tho iguor-

As a pleasure resort it is really
the first time that we have heard
Honolulu mentioned. The editor Of
the Journal must be easily satisfied
il he can find much pleasure here.
Without modern hotel at Waikiki,
without recreation grounds, theatres
or respectable entertainments we
fail to see how Honolulu can be
called a pleasure resort. After a
drive to tho Pail, to Tantalus, to
Waikiki and to band concert, the
pleasures" Of Honolulu are pretty
well exhausted and, during the rest
OF their visit the pleasure seeking
tourists can devote their time to
cooling their heels on the hotel yer.

The Honolulu correspondent to
the Washington Star, presumably
one S. L. b. writes the following
remarkable sentence "it is necessary
that she (America) should insure to
us complete political stability. We
do not possess 1t; we must have it; il
not from America then from Eng.
land. Great Scott! is it possible that
our great and good Republic, the
phenomenal fine Government, the
best the world ever saw, lacks poll
tical stability? We can hardly be-
lieve our eyes, but there it is in the
subsidized organ of the Hawaiian
Republic in the capital of the United
States. Tho correspondent has told
the truth for once. He should he
muzzlea. But not alone does he
make such a terrible accusation
against Dole's best Government.
He actually makes forecast for our
future which makes the hair stand
on the heads OF all the brave patriots
whose national anthem is ''Fe Fl
Fun, | smell the blood of English
man." Fancy the glorious Republic
Of Dole, Stevens ripe pear, au Eng
lish crown colony. Still he Predicts:
1t may be very conceivable that il
annexation bs finally refused by the
United States we shall be inpelled
to turn 10 Great Britain in pursuit
of the political stability which is so
greatly desired, and to accept col
onial position under Great Britain,
with local self government. This
would indeed be very distasteful to
the predomioating American por.
ton OF our people. But with the
immense excess OF British steamers
in the Pacific this would not be an
unnatural destiny for the Hawaiian
lslan Is. The British amply sub
sidize their steamer lines. The Unit
ed States do not. Therefore British
commerce possesses the oceans.
With the not distant opening Of the
Nicaragua canal, that commerce
must immensely multiply ia this
ocean, and British commercial hous
es must greatly increase in Honolulu
Without very positive and decided
policy on the part Of the United
States, the Hawaiian Islands will
naturally drift into British posses
sion.

The Journal, however, shirks the
point at issue. We did not criticize
its utterances because it doomed the
country for the benefit OF tourists,
but simply because it tried to induce
settlers to come here and invest
their savings, by misrepreseuting
the true state of aifsirs, As we have
said before, it may be justi6abla to
fleece tourists by praising our goods
and inducing them to pay the cd
mission to the show. The perma-
nent settler is quite different from
the transient sightseer, and he
should be treated in an honest and
truthful manner Aud that is what
the Journal does not do.

There seems to he a tempest in

tempt is being made to mix up the
japanese Consul General in the

There is a radical element among
the educated Japanese residing here
which caused considerable annoy
ance during the incumbency of Mr..
Saburo Fujii, the Imperial Diploma
tic Agent. The great tact and de-
termination OF that clever diplomat
held the radicals in check. They

representations. In it's latest issue
it claims that The INDEPENDENT gsr-
bled its quotations from the Journal

and sentiments its editor never
stated. The Journal writes
"THE INDEPENDENT quotes: Homo
lulu should be the best and most
widely known city in the world
Why did it not add the sentence i'm

that point can be relied upon to pene

SIRIUS PROBLEMS.
4 Suggestion as to the Origin Of WhA
We Call Sunlight.


The dark companion of Sirius, dis
covered by Alvan G. Clark in 1862 witt
the 1S-inch telescope constructed fol
the Chicago university, and which hai
not been seen since 1890, was rediscov
cred in the early part of September q;
the Lowell observatory. Flagstaff, A. T
The observation was made with tn,
excellent Clark instrument, CONSTRUCTED
for the use Of Mr.. Lowell in the study o.
Mars. Owing to the clear air OF Ari
IONA, wonderful observations have beer
made by the instrument, and the disk o..
Mars has been SO accurately mapped
that all previous attempts were sur
passed.
Pot See, one Of the members OF -.
observatory staff, sighted the cenpaa-
fon Of Sirius after patient search. Ths
companion Is so near to the great star
about six seconds OF an arc. and is sc
faint, comparatively, that the blaze OF
the giant sun fills the eye. Itwas, there
fore, necessary TO bar out the light OF
Sirius by small screen in the field OF
the eyepiece. With this device properly
adjusted, the companion, judged TO be
of the nth magnitude. was observed,
but in position not expected by tn.
astronomers who have computed the
orbit.
Sirius and his companion swing abcu:
each other, forming a great system.
The motion has been great enough
since 1852 TO get sufficient number Of
position angles for the construction Of
en- approximate orbit. Those who at
tended the meetings of the Rochester
