The government has received an ap-

for a lease of Nuuanu Pail and the
right to operate there first class re-
sort and amusements for the travel
ing public
The application is made by a well
known man who has been for some

company has plenty of money 1t will
improve the Pail so as to make it easy
of access and far greater attraction

make it.
There will be Il place to stop for a
few hours, or days, as the case may
be, and attractions for individuals or
parties. Electric lights win be put
in and the place beautifully illuminat-

There is hardly doubt but that the
application will be refused 1t is a

RISING LAND

The rapid rise of the land about
Hudson bay is said to be the most re-
markable gradual upheaval of an eX-
tensive region ever known, says the
Scinentific American. Driftwood COW
cred beaches are now 20 to 60 or 70
feet above water new islands have
appeared, and many channels and all
the old harbors have become too shall
low for ships. At the present rate,
the shallow bay will disappear in a
few centuries, adding vast area of
dry land or salt marsh to British ter
ritory in America.

CITY Of COLUMBIA ALEAk
PUTS INTO HILO WITH BOILERS
ADRIFT.
Five Hundred Miles From Honolulu
-.
Her Boilers Part From Their Fas-
tenings-Offer of Sale Reported.

The troubles of the City of Column
bia are not over; they seem only to
have begun.
Captain Colly of the bark c. d. Bry-
ant brought word this morning that
the City of Columbia came into Hilo
early Wednesday morning, having a
decided list, leaking and with her boi-
lers adrift. According to the officers
of the steamship she had got about
500 miles on her course to Seattle
when her boilers parted from their
fastenings and shifted slightly. Sew
eral of the steam pipes were broken.
She had been making water for some
time, and in view of all these dangers
it was decided to put back and go to
Hilo.
Why Hilo was chosen as a port of
refuge instead of Honolulu, when the
latter was the nearer if the vessel was
in it's true course, was not satisfacto-
rily explained to Captain Colly. In
deed, while saying nothing about the
matter except what he had been told
by the officers of the City of Columbia,
Captain Colly had the air of one who
had his own opinions about the mat
ter.
1t was also reported in Hilo that an
effort had been made to sell the steam
ship there. 1t was understood that
in this case the passengers would be
transferred to the Centennial and TAX
| ken by her to Seattle.
Captain Colly was not able to learn
with eXaetness what repairs would be
necessary to the City of Columbia. He
understood, however, that if the nee
essary repairs could not be made by
the engineer force aboard her, she
would have to be brought to Honolu-
lu for repair.
The Centennial, the sister ship of
the City of Columbia, arrived in Hilc
on Sunday. She had discharged her
freight and taken on cargo and was
ready to sail when the Bryant left
but had not sailed.
The City of Columbia left here last
Saturday morning for Seattle. She
had been in this harbor month OF
more and being without cargo ant
high out of the water it is supposed
that the hot sun onened up her plank
ing, which would account for hel
leaking.
Her trials and tribulations in I'll,
courts here are still fresh in mind.

\ SWEET BODY.
Woman's Latest Fad in Making Her.
self Beautiful.

"The American papers," says the
British Medical journal, ARE amusing
themselves by discussing whether it
is justifiable for woman to scent her
self by hypodermic injections. 1t
seems to us that there is nothing to
discuss. Women who have money and
no occupation will always do foolish
things. They are at the mercy of ev-
cry quack and charlatan, and nothing
that we can say is likely to have much
effect on their folly. People who con-
cult paimists and fortune tellers are
likely enough to take up any new
craze. AS matter of fact the custom
of scenting the breath and the body
by the use of drugs injected under the
skin is by no means new, and there
are many establishments in Paris and
elsewhere which exist solely for this
purpose. The massage shops would
have adopted the idea long ago, but
their customers are exclusively men,
and mans folly does not run in this
particular direction. We have seen a
neat little outfit consisting of hypo-
dermic syringe and a number of cam
nuae, obtained from one of the Paris
houses, and we have been made ac-
quainted with the formulae of the So
lutions employed, but it would serve
no useful purpose to make them pub
lie. We can only express a hope that
the apparatus is aseptic, or at all
events that it is occasionally washed,
for if this precaution is neglected there
is likely to be pretty general dis
semination of disease, and some of the
ladies who now find time hang heavily
on their hands will be less pleasantly
occupied than they had anticipated"

She announces that the overlooking
of the Nuuanu valley busses and the
Waikiki tram cars to which her at
tention has been especially called,
must cease. She intends to keep a
strict lookout for all cases of cruelty
arising from this cause, and prompt
arrests will follow.
Marshal Brown has given instruc-
tions TO the entire police force to co.

drawback is that she has not sufficient

COCA WINE.

Speaking of the increasing use of
various kinds of coca wine, Modern
Medicine says: The active principals
of coca wine are alcohol and cocain.
Whatever other virtues these drugs
possess, they certainly do not possess
the power to give either health OF
strength. Both alcohol and cocain
have the property of benumbing nerve
sensibility, so that the wearied man
taking a dose of coca wine may be re,
lieved of the sense of fatigue, just as
he might be if he swallowed dose OF
morphin or any one of half dozen
other drugs, but he is not rested. He
simply does not notice that he is tir.
ed when he is tired.
