Citizens Attention.

These are days Of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
IN the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to a
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of a return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
looms.

Tho "Funny Bone"

Everybody is familiar with the
disagreeable sensation in the
finger tips known as KNOCK on
the funny bone" In reality it is
not bone ut all that causes the
curious tingling, but an impor-
tant nerve (the ulnar) which runs
down the arm. 1t is for the most
part deep-seated in the flesh,
but near the back OF the bow
lies CLOSE to the under surface of
the skin.
When this is accidentally struck,
the nerve conveys the impression
to the brain. But it happens
that sensations brought by the
ulnar nerve are those usually which
have been caused ut its ends,
the finger-tips; and the brain OBJ
stinately refuses to believe that
any messages can possibly come
along the telegraph wire Of the
nerve except from the regular
stations. So when the knock is ex.
perienced and the message re-
ceived, the brain refers it as hav.
ing come from the termni of the
line instead of from somewhere
midway, and despite the actual
fact assures us that it is our
fingers that are tinplinp and not
our elbow.
In the same way, soldiers who
have lost their legs sometimes
say they feel pain in the toes.
What 10 happening is that the re
mainder of the nerve that used to
60 to the toes is being affected,
and the brain (Which is the real
and only seat of all pain) cannot
account for the sensation except
as coming from the absent foot.

Puzzled the Court.

Neils johnson appeared before Judge
Webb in the United States court, yester-
day forenoon, as an applicant for natural
ization. He brought in as witnesses two
friends Of his, one from Deering and the
other resident of this city.
In the midst of the investigation of the
case Judge Webb glanced at that section
of the application on which were written
the signatures of the witnesses, and said ::
"Mr Hansen, how long have you known
Mr.. Johnson?"
"Twenty years, sir"
"Twenty three years, your honor
These two responses came simultaneous
ly from the two witnesses.
"Let Mr. Hansen answer frst,' was
the Courts suggestion, whereupon in al
most the same breath both witnesses re-
piled: Ny name IS Hansen. %
The judge could not refrain from
smiling. The singular thing about the
case was that not only were the family
names of the witnesses alike, but their
first names and their initials exactly cor
responded Both answered to the name
of Hans P. Hansen, though they are not
related, and are residents of different
cities.
