The expression quite often
used in speaking of the
weather: I'm just melting, "
was recently very aptly illus
trated in one of the pictorial
magazines showing people ac-
tually melting away. The
weather of the past week has
been such. as to make a great
many people think that his
satanic majesty had made
these islands a call and had
stirred up his stokers for me-
glecting their business.
Now that ice plants are
being established throughout
the islands, it is not out Of
place for us to mention

been entered into; and some minor
industries. But it is absurd to blame
any one in country for taking
part in the most prosperous indus
try. AS well might Carnegie be
blamed for not planting potatoes in
stead of running iron works.
If we lose the Reciprocity Treaty
goodbye to Our prosperity. And as
has been frequently pointed out if
we do not have annexation, we
shall not get reciprocity. 1t is all
very well to criticise what has been
done in the past, but it is plain
that whatever has been done has
brought prosperity to all people.
Now what we have to deal with is
the present. We none of us
want to go back to the days Of S6e
and the early seventies. But we will
go back unless we use every effort
in our power to get annexation,
drop criticizing what has been done,
and honestly and bravely strain
every nerve to reach goal which
is for the benefit of all, whether
native Hawaiian or Western
foreigner who has settled upon these
shores.

THE FORGOTTON ISLANDS.

A book by CASTOR Vui,ler, a
French artist, entitled the For
gotten Islands" is interesting in
itself and is very good reading at
the presen; moment for those who
have the welfare of Hawaii at heart.
1t is an account of wanderings in
the Balearic Islands, Corsica and
Sardinia. Close to the centres of
culture and civilization these islands
have remained in many cases five
hundred years behind the world.
They have excellent natural re-
sources, a good climate, and are in
close proximity to the worlds marts,
but mis- government and lack of
energy Oil the part Of the inhabi-
tants has left them miserably poor,
and quite out of the worlds race.
! Great as are thenatural resources
of Hawaii, excellent as is her eli
mate, eXuberant as is her soil, she
can yet become as lost to the world
as tho e " Forgotten Islands" of
the Mediterranean, with their empty
harbors, their fields untitled and the
ruins of commercial greatness to
recall what they have been.
To keep ourselves in the forefront
of the race of Western civilization
should be watch word of every
one here. We want no grass grown
streets and empty stores, such as
the anti-annexationists promise us.
We want to advance and not to
recede, to be in the worlds eye and
not to be the g Forgotten Islands Of
the Pacific"

By October next Japan will have
gold currency. After that date
gold will be paid for Bank of Japan
notes. The mint of Osaka has been
working night and day striking the
new gold coins and it is expected
that there will be 10, 900, 900 yen
worth ready. The coins besides
small denominations will run up to
20 yen and so yen. The latter will
remind old timers of California

preserved in Honolulu. The change
which Japan has made in her

Is the acknowledged
superior of all ice refrigerators
made. 1t is constructed on
scientific principles and is a
guaranteed ice saver-a quail
ity not found in every refrig-
orator or ice box.
Ours are the Quincy clean
able, and the prices range from
$3.50 to 500, and we make
the terms so reasonable that
anybody can buy one.
You can have an ice box by
paying $l.25 per month for
six months. Or we will sell it
to you for $3.50 less 5 per cent
for cash.
We give the same excellent
opportunities to purchasers of
refrigerators. There is no
reason why you should allow
your meat and butter to spoil
for the want of a suitable
refrigerator when you have
almost your own time in which
to pay for it.
Our styles are the very
latest. A whole carload came
down on the Transit, and
everyone is a new and distinct
pattern.
You never saw such. hand

because they are never out of
place it this climate.
The ALASKA is the best con-
structed Refrigerator ever put
on the market. 1t will keep
provisions longer and use less
ice than any other refrigera-
tor Why? Because between
the outer and inner walls there
is an inch and a half space
filled with PURE CHARCOAL, and
nothing has yet been found as
good. 1t possesses a purify
quality that no other filling
has, and is one of the best
known insulators for heat or
cold.
The inner frame Of these
refrigerators is made of per-
fectly odorless wood, and all
exposed wood, such as under
the lids, and that above the
doors is odorless poplar, thor
oughly shellaced. This makes
the refrigerator clean and
sweet.
We carry the Alaska in several sizes
ranging in price from SIS to $50. o.
In ice boxes we can quote you pri-
ces from $50 down to $3.50, and those
desiring ample space for ice and fewer
compartments for provisions, will be
suited with these ice boxes.

Millions OF Cnueleome Passengers.
When tbs schooner Golden Sheaf ar
nved at her noorings the other day
with a cargo OF logEood. everybody
IN board. from the captain down to
the cook. rushed trantically ashore. as
though pursued by some unseen en-
envy.
As a matter Of fact. the vessel vas
literally swarming with hordes OF
hungry Jamaica ants. The little
pests had invaded he lockers and
dved headlnng into the sugar barrels.
After inishing the contents Of these
they proceeded to bore holes through
the supply Of hard tack, and ate
everything before them. until it was
feared that the stock OF provisions on
board would run short. There WIS a
cessation from their attacks during
the voyage. the vessel having been
caught in a West India hurricane,
which flooded the cabin and drenched
everything below. 1t was supposed
that the intrrders had all been
drowned, but after the storm had
cleared away they began their attacks
with renewed energy.
Captain Chandler, who commands
the vessel. stated that there are mil
lions Of the insects still on board. and
be thought the cargo mnst have come
from the vicinity OF ant hills, for
which Jamaica IS noted. He stated
that the ants were in all parts Of the
vessel. and that in Ri his experience
at sea he had never before met an at
tack like the newcomers waged agirst
him.-Philadelphia Record.
