Dr. William M. Gross, of Gillespie, N.

earth's wild electricity. He will build
tower 100 feet high. At that alt,-

but serviceable force attains it's great

shackle it with the chains of science.

the great imperial railroads an army OF
200, 600 men can he modified within two
weeks upon any point of the frontier OF
China and Korea. Russia is now the vir-

In the picturesque activity and toll OF
these Russian colonists there is something
which appeals strongly to our American
instincts of energy and advancement. No
one can read the description of their life
and work which Stephen Bonsal contributes
to the July Harper's without being re-
minded of that determination which made
productive the broad lands Of our Western
praires, pierced the forbidding Rockies in

something that troubles great many

ankle motion is the cause. This is a pro

what he Says can be demonstrated by riders
whether they use anklng or not. If they
do ankle all they require is to stop it and
ride ilatfuoted. If they do not ankle and
have a pain in the shin the only thing nee
essary is to try little ankle motion AID
note the disappearance of the pain. This
is the way lie puts it: 81 have talked and

KAMEHAMEHA ALUMNI.
Matter OF Grounds and Club House
settled.

There was very full attend
ance of the members of the
Alumni Association of Kameha =
meha school at their temporary
quarters last evening. Attorney
General W. o. Smith and w. n.
Armstrong were present.
The purpose of the meeting was
primarily a consultation between
Trustee Smith and the boys on the
club house matter.
Mr.. Smith explained that the
land upon which it was proposed
to build the club house belonged
to ths Bernice Pauahi Bishop
Museum trust and not to the
Pauahi trast. 1t was therefore
not part of the school trust and
could not be granted CRATES as a
place for the club house. How
ever, the land could be rented and
the Bishop trust had agreed to
give $500 each year, to pay the
rent of the grounds.
Mr.. Smith then recommended
that the boys leave the building
of the house to the Museum trust
and pay rent into the trust from
the monthly dues of the members
of the Association.
Solomon Fukumura, an en-
ploye of one of the firms of archi-
tects in the city, presented plans
which he had drawn up. The
cost of building would be S2l00.
These met with the approval of
Mr.. Smith who explained that
the Museum trust was willing to
60 as high as S2500.
Mr.. Smith then gave way to the
boys, who considered the plan
handed in by him. 1t was finally
decided torrent the place for the
term OF two years and to allow the
Museum trust to put up the club
house. Mr.. Smith cautioned the
boys to be very careful about 60
ing toto debt. There should moi
be a cent owing when the time
was ripe for the occupancy of the
club house.
Another meeting of the Alum nj
Association will be held within 9

SUBSTITUTING HAWAIIAN FLAG.

The Hawaiian flag today dis
placed the British ensign on the
flagstaff of the ship Star of Russia.
The vessel is owned by the San
Francisco firm Of j. j. Moere &
Co., who have supposedly adopted
the Hawaiian flag with the expec-
tation of getting the ship under
American colors with the applica.
ton of American shipping regula-
tions to Hawaii. j. j. Moore e.

built vessels to Hawaiian registry
as fast as possible. Several weeks
ago their bark Euterpe substituted
the Hawaiian for the Chilean flag
at this port.
About the same time a similar
change was made on one of their
vessels loading at Port Blakeley.
The ship Star of France, owned
by Moore & Co., is en- route from
