KAALA IS HURT
Struck in the Bay BY the
Steamer Lehua.
A Big Hole in the Hold-kaala
Proceeds-An Inquiry.

While leaving her berth yesterday
| afternoon, On her regular trip, the
KaaIa was run into and badly dam
aged by the Lehua which was steam
ing ON her way to Hilo with load of
piles for the new wharf there. There
appears to be no especial reason for
the accident.
The kaala had just started and was
not yet clear off the wharf when there
was a crash and the PROV of the Lee
hua sunk deep into the side of the
smaller steamer we'll back towards the
stern, tearing a great hole in the hull
and smashing the deck and upper
awning as if they were made Of paper.
Had the blow been struck amidship
there is no doubt but that the Kaala
would have been cut in two and sunk
Immediately. AS it happened, the
force of the collision swung the Kaala
around and thereby lessened the
strength of the contact. The Lehua
backed away after the smash and soon
proceeded on her trip not having been
injured in the least.
Captain Mosher Of the Kaala imme
diately after the crash got his vessel
back to the wharf as quickly as posi-
able as the water was pouring through
the hole in her side. The pumps were
put to work and stays were run out
from her masts to the stanchions on
the dock and she was keeled over until
the damaged part of her hull was out
of the water Then the removal of her
cargo was begun and twenty minutes
afterwards she was out of danger of
sinking.
The damage amounts to probably
a thousand dollars as almost a whole
new side will have to be put in from
the deck. down to and below the water
line
The dock officials of both the Inter
Island and Wilder Steamship Com
panies were very reticent regarding
the accident and Court of Inquiry
will be called to determine who was
to blame and to assess damages.
No arrangements have as yet been
made as to forwarding the Kaala's
cargo and it will be a week or ten
days at the least before she will be in
a condition to resume her regular trips.

To Save BicVcliStS.

The bridge de Ramirgao, on the road
between Nice and Manton, much
used road for bicyclists and tourists,
marks an exceedingly dangerous spot
for wheelmen as we'll as drivers, says
the Philadelphia Record. The bridge
is at right angles with a very steep
hill, on which the wheelman or driver
suddenly finds himself without being
at all prepared for the descent, and he
finds himself bowling along to the bot
tom, where the sharp turn cOnfrOntS
him. In most cases he simply crashes
into the parapet. The wheel is smashed
and the rider is shot over the wall
down into the deep ravine to instant
death or lingering agony. The fate of
the bicyclist was shared by many
horse-drawn vehicles, and serious ac-
cidents at the point were of common
occurrence, despite the many warning
signs erected at the top of the hill.
The Touring Club of France under
took to solve the problem of wiping
out this death trap. On account of the
contour of the country it was found
impracticable to change the roads to
avoid the place, and at the suggestion
of M. Aube, the engineer Of bridges
and roads, network over the parapet
was erected. The framework is of iron
tubes, and the mesh is composed of a
ropework of iron strands, the whole
being fastened firmly into the masonry
of the bridge, so that it will easily bear
the weight of two horses. The thing
cost 800 francs, and had not been up
four days before bicycler dashed
down the hill, and crashing into the
wall his machine was smashed and he
was safely caught in the net. In the
course of two months the net had been
the means of saving five others in the

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA


At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run it's course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-

cough or cold than Chamberlain

extensively and it has always given en-

This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for colds and

of a single case having resulted in

their grain TO the lake shore the strait
Of MaCkinac filed up with ice, and the
current Of grain stopped flowing at Chi
cago and Duluth. As result the grain
elevators at those big centers kept filling
up all winter until they could not hold
another bushel. Now they are ready to
be emptied, and when the word came
from Mackinao city that the ice had
gone out of the strait the shoots We're

and freight on the ice two miles out of
the little port of Cheboygan. This was
on May 10, and the record which is kept
at Buffalo shows that Lake Erie, much
farther south, was open only two weeks
previous that year
But winter came to us early last fall
and has not fingered in the lap of spring.
Weeks ago the water fronts of the lake
cities were astir. On the big steam
freight carriers the battened matches
were lifted off, the canvas shrouds and
iron caps were taken from the big
snokestacks, and the engineer and his
crew were busy below decks getting the

March were heartily welcomed by the
lake navigatom. The season is a short
one at best, and in order to pay owners
dividends they have to make the most
of it. If winter did not interfere, the
lake craft would be busy all the year
round. We have heard much about the
decline of our shipping interests, but
the statisticians and campaign orators
who talk ON this text get their figures
from the salt water ports.
Our interstate commerce has grown
so fast that our lake mariners have been
unable to keep up with it. The tonnage
taken out and carried into the port of
Chicago annually is almost double that
which arrives at and leaves New York,
with port never closed.
The Suez canal is popularity supposed
to handle more business than any other
similar waterway in the world, yet in
1894, just fter the panic, the Sault Ste
Marie canal, that little artery which
connects Lake Superior with the south
and east exceeded it in tonnage by more
than 5000, 900 tOns-and ''The 500"
was open only 234 days at that.
The house flags Of the various Amer
ican ship owning firms fly above 5000
craft which sail the lakes. They carry
$4,000, 600 tons trip, and their aggre-
gate value is $50, 600, 900.
Don't talk "docline of American ship
ping" west of Buffalo.
But perhaps you do not understand
what such great fleet can find to busy
itself about You may remember that
lSsS fall, just before the close of naviga-
ton, there was great rush of grain
from the west to the eastern seaboard.
Europe and Asia had short crop, and
a demand was made for American grain
Did we meet it? Well, rather. Our farm.
ers in Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, the
Dakotas and their neighbors were Won
dering what they could do with the vast
crop which they had just gathered.
They had had great crop the year be-
fore, too, and their granaries were fairly
bursting. When the word came that two
continents were short of grain, they
rushed their surplus ON to the lakes as
fast as steam could carry it.
But railroads have their limitations.
Their rolling stock is unelastic, and one
train cannot be stretched out into two.
So before the western farmers could get
