sess, for the automobile replaces both.
This latter difficulty, however, may now
be overcome. For some time inventors
have been endeavoring with varying
success to construct motor which may
be attached to the vehicles now in use.
All those which have, to be "hitched" to
carriage and operated as horse are
cumbrous and possess one of the great
disadvantages of the latter occupying
too much space. ls,5I.%sSs=ZZs=I szzs5-ls:E =.
But recently a French firm, Messrs.
Arniot &, Peneau, seems to have met
all difficulties and is placing upon the
market motor attached to a pair Of
front wheels which may be substituted
for the ordinary front wheels of a car
rage. The wheels serve at the same
time as both steerers and drivers, any
variation of their position controlling
the direction of the carriage without in.
dependent movement of the naphtha
motor with two vertical cylinders which
propels the conveyance.
There is flexible axle which serves
as prolongation of the motor axle on
! each side. The different mechanisms to
effect change of speed are carried on
the front axle. The naphtha and wa
ter reservoirs are suspended behind and
the motor further forward. A strong
metallic band fixed to sleeve fitted to
the rear axle connects this axle with the
motor, as the weight of the latter would
cause too great a strain upon an or.
binary carriage. A solid whole is thus
formed of the front and rear wheels 50
that the motor moves the carriage by
both pairs of wheels. Any wagon or
carriage can in Is minutes be changed
from it's ordinary form to an auto
mobile and vice versa, the only ex.
pense being for the motor and one pair
of wheels, which may be used alternate
~ On whole series of different ve-
hicles, as may be done with horse.
The case containing the motor is
decorative, and when electricity is pre-
ferred to naphtha as motive power,
will contain storage batteries.
The invention has passed the expert
mental stage and has been operated
with great success. It is likely to be
of great practical Service and will meet,
popular demand. 4}...

AN OLD SCHOOL
Successful Closing Exer-
ciSeS at Lahainaluna.
Exc IIent Work of Classes In Eng
liSh Advanced StudieS-Addres-
ses by Judge and Others.
(Contributed.)


The program for the closing exer-
cises of Lahainaluna school June "a,
was carried out extremely we'll with
the exception of the toasts by D. Kapo-
both of whom were unfortunately COM
PEELED to be absent
OF the class exercises that in E Eng
lish by Principal Abbott was perhaps
the most interesting to the audience. 1t
was the development of a story in the
German method, and the class aroused
much interest by their keen and
thoughtful statements of the possible
ties. The B Algebra under Mr.. Topic,
lately from California, and the c Geo.
metry under Miss F. P. Rosecrans, the
vice principal, each ELECTED much
praise for promptness and correctness
of work.
OF the toasts the best were Our
Aims" by Mr.. G. E. Rosecrans, who is
just back from the coast, and What
Lahainaluna Will Do" by Judge Ka-
lua, who came over from Waikiki to
attend the examinations.
Mr.. Rosecrans laid great stress upon
the spirit of the school, pointing out
that the first purpose of a school must
be to develop character. Next, that
what is wanted in the education of Ha-
waiians is what is best expressed by
the homely word "gumption," which
includes enterprise, determination and
ability to adapt means to the end in
hand. He claimed that Lahainaluna
has been prominently successful in
cultivating both of these, giving in
stances of the latter in the repair of
machinery in the ice factory and the
printing office.
Judge Kalua's speech was at the
same time inspiring and amusing. He
recalled the time when he sat in a cor
ner of the old dining room which he
pointed out, the poorest of poor boys,
dressed in a white cotton shirt and a
pair of pants made of ticking, fastened
at the top by a string, like a tobacco
pouch. He attributed much of his sue
cess in life in to the training he had
received from Lahainaluna, his Alma
Mater, and that in spite of the fact
that he learned no English there. If
he had had such q training in English
as the boys who had spoken that morn
ing he would have been able to speak
English as well as their principal him
self.
Taking up the aims of the institution
Judge Kalua said that what we need
is men who can think for themselves,
not men who will say yes when told
to say yes" or mo" when told to say
no" He thought the training the
Lahainaluna boys were receiving was
making such men of them.
Judging from the past, more eSpec-
tally the past few years, in which
printing press, ice machine electric
lights, a renewed dining hall, and a
new shop had been added, he thought
Lahainaluna was destined to do even
more in the future than she had done
in the past.
The exercises took up the entire day
from in the morning. A large num-
Der of people We're present.
