more picturesque features of island
scenery and OF the strange customs or
the kanakas. While il is very interest
ing. the lecturer had no thought OF
making it comic In any part. Yet in the
first delivery Of the lecture a certain
very unimportant passage ELECTED
hearty laugh from the audience. This
rather disconnected the speaker who
was quite unconscious that he had put
in a joke just there. When he repeated
the lecture before much larger audi
ence there was not only a similar man

expect the interruption, and makes "a

syllabification. That is quite a different
matter; the savage has no right to rid

Hawaiians have been in the habit of
getting considerable enjoyment out of
the most treasured OF all American
names. II is no uncommon thing to f1nd

repeat over and over again the name

Trademark decisions are always in
teresting. A good trade mark means
riches. II is pretty well established,
we believe. that no trade mark that
signifies the materials of the article
produced can have protection from In
fringement. as, for instance, "A name of
n patent medicine that indicates its
comnos,tion or of any manufactured
product that indicates the raw material
entering into IL. The trade mark claim
must bear the stamp of novelty and be
divorced from anything common to the
uses and purposes of the world at large.
But a recent decision as To the watch
business indicates that product may
stake claim on the name of town
or city and defy infringement. II APP
pears that the American Waltham
watch Company protested against the
use OF the name "Waltham' by any
other watch company. even though To-
Gated in the town OF Waltham. Ana
the United states Circuit Court at
Philadelphia has granted a perpetual
Injunction I'm favor OF the original Wal
than watch concern prohibiting the use
OF the word Waltham in connection
with any other name or upon watches
or movements other than those manu-
factured by the American company.
