BIG REHEARSAL.
Flag Raising Chorus Turned Out
Last Night In Large Force.
From Saturdays DailyD

U'rom Saturdays DailyD
There was a rousing meeting OF the
hag-raising chorus at the High School
last evening. About fifty OF the best
vocalists of the city participated IN
the rehearsal. Mrs. Cooper sang star
Spangled Banner" and Mr.. ". IA.
Hogs Red, White and Blue" or old
columbia" At the close Professor
Yarndley called another rehearsal FOR
next Tuesday night, at which time 1t
is hoped the attendance will be even
larger.
President Dole was exceedingly anx-
iOus to have the new Columbia" sung
at the flag raising, but Professor
Yarndley thinks this Will be quite i'm
possible. 1t Is most desirable that
familiar tunes be presented in order
that the whole audience may Join in
the choruses. Mrs. Cooper has con-
veyed this impression of the leader to
President Dole, with the result that
the piece will be omitted. 1t Will be
rehearsed by the chorus, however, with
a view of presenting it on future oc-
casion. Capt. Berger was musician for
the rehearsal.

A CABLE CENTER ARGUE IN BRIEF
English and French Lines
Want to Come Here.
Plans for Reaching Honolulu = As.
surance Of Early Laying Of Scr
ymser Cabie-Navy.

Prospects for Hawaii becoming a
cable as well as a naval and commerce
shipping point appear to be excellent,
now that the construction OF the
Scrymser line under the patronage of
the United States is assured. Gen. A.
S. Hartwell, who is attorney here for
the Scrymser interest, believes that
the Islands will have cable commune
cation with San Francisco in less than
a year. Monterey may be the main
land terminus, but more likely San
Francisco.
The great construction companies
which make a business Of placing and
maintaining cables under contracts OF
not less than twenty years, are ever in
readiness to lay several thousand miles
of line in the shortest possible time.
The cable itself is made. There has
been entered provisional agreement.
Once the word is given the supply and
dropping ships Will come into the Pa
citic at top speed and will be used
night and day till the job is complete.
1t is understood now that both
French and English companies desire
connection with the Scrymser Califor-
nia-Hawaii-Japan cable and that their
desire is to make the union at Homo
lulu. This will mean perhaps three
repair ships here constantly. Hawaii
will be regarded as ocean headquarters
for all the lines The French company
has its line now from sydney to New
Caledonia and proposes to reacn Ho.
nolulu via Tahiti. The plan or tht
French company for extension to Ia
hiti has long been in existence and il
said to be very largely a government
measure. The desire to continue to Ho
nolulu and thus become part OF thu
newest and geatest Pacific cable en-
terprise, is but natural business de
sire. The British company, which i:
subsidized by the Government, has tn,
idea of coming to Honolulu from Auck
land, via Fiji. The extension from
Auckland to Fiji has been under con
sderation for years.
Gen. Hartwell is happy over tn,
cable outlook, but is no less enthus
iastic over his olden view OF the prom
inence the Islands are to have as 1
naval station for the United States
He expects that when the cable is one
available several warships Will be her
at all times and that the pesence O
an American fleet will mean more FIRE
quent and imposing visits by othe
naval powers.
Gables are laid nowadays by mos
carefully selected men, as the route
are the most closely kept of stat
secrets. All war vessels carry appar
atus for deep sea work in the destruc
ton of cables in war times and n
correct charts are published.

THE FOOD INSPECTOR.
Mr.. JOhnstOne's Office Will Not
Be a Sinecure.

Arthur tombstone, the new food in
spactor, is busily engaged upon plans
for carrying on his work. The law
places the Office under the Board OF
Health and the policy OF the inspector
will have to be passed upon by that
body before it will be in effective
shape.
Much OF the real hard work OF the
Office will consist of expert microscope
cal analyses of food. Not only Is the
inspector required to examine impor-
tations and productions Tor market,
but must make analyses and report on
all food products brought to him. SO
many details have yet to be arranged
that the Office will not be down to reg
ular business much before the first OF
September. Mr.. Johnstone's position
Will not be sinecure by long shot.

The feature of the military demon
str alton which arOuses most enthusi-
asm in the crowds during the Septem-
Der celebration is the appearance Of
the Mounted Rurales, the "roneh

by on mettled horses, cinched under
silver-trimmed saddles, and the men
wear their SNOWY "charro" leather

The old way to turn pancakes over
was with tableknife; this is very
probably done to some extent even to
this day; but pancake turner's have.
nevertheless, to great extent taken
the place OF the knife.
Pancake turner's a"e made with some
variations as to the size Of the blade
and the length OF the handle; there Is
at least one patent pancake turner.
There are cooks in restaurants who
use for pancake turner broad ten
inch spatula. With its thin, flexible
blade this makes an ideal pancake
turner, but it's cost would put it be-
You'd consideration by the generality
of housewives. There is a pancake
turner that has the quality of flexibil-
ity, its blade being designed, rs TO
shape and dimensions, with that in
view.
In the trade the pancake turner is
not considered an item of great i'm
portance; it is sold, however, in great
numbers, and orders for hundred
gross, which little calculation will
show to be $4,000, would not be an
unheard of thing, and some few Amer
lean pancake turner's are exported. -

Areport by George Hoare, one of the
officials of the British Central Africa
Protectorate, summarized in the local
gazette, contains some curious details
of the crocodies of Lake Chiuta.
They would seem to- be strict vegeta-
rians, for not only have they never
been known to attack the men fishing
in the lake, but their tracks were
shown by the natives to the writer at
a distance of several miles from its
shores, whence they are said to ira, ell
overland in search OF roots. This is
con trary to the habits OF all known
species of crocodiles, which are, in
the first place, purely carnivorous,
and, in the second, so helpless on land
from their inability to turn, except in
large circle, that they never leave
the immediate vicinity of their watery
or muddy home. Efforts will accord
ingly be made to obtain specimen
of this abnormal type OF the formid-
able amphibion. London Tablet.
