ROUGH TIMES ON THE SEA
HELENE LEAVES FOR LAYsAN
ISLAND.
Bad Weather for the Picking, China and
Transport Nero-The Steamer Queen
Sighted on Thursday.

The Wilder steamship Helene left
soon after eight o'clock this morning
for Laysan Island in command of Cap
tain Freeman of the Kinau, Captain
Clarke, who is the Kinau's old master,
having taken her again. The Helene is
under charter to Hackfeld & Company
to get load of guano from Laysan
and will probably be gone three or four
weeks.
The weather in which the Helene left
port was not all that could be desired
and she is having a lively time now.
There was high northeast wind all
night and this morning the sea was
very rough outside the harbor The
Helene left the channel to plunge into
heavy sea, behind the City of Picking,
which got away shortly after seven
o'clock this morning. The Peking has
the wind behind her, but there was
enough sea to make the trip an pm
pleasant one for those who do not like
rough weather.
The transport Nero, arriving off port
at about eight o'clock last night, ran
into the storm yesterday and those on
board report quite heavy swell. They
had fair trip until yesterday, when
they struck the storm that blew over
Oahu last night. The steamer anchor
ed outside the harbor for the night and
she rolled more than at any other time
during the ten-day trip from San Fran
cisco.
When the China failed to show up
early this morning it was the general
conclusion that she was held back by
the same storm. This seems to be the
China's hard-times trip She struck a
typhoon at the other end of her journey
and her unusual lateness this morning
led all to conclude that she had found
some bad weather to go against.
The Nero sighted the steamship
Queen last Thursday night. The Queen
left here last Tuesday for San Francis
co.
Along the front and at the wharves
the high winds made all vessels strain
hard at their mornings, but there was
no trouble. DR.. Amasse had an inter-
esting trip in the quarantine launch to
board the transport Nero but the launch
is quick, strong craft, and she went
through the waves at first class speed.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFH.


1t is a feeling common to the ma
jority Of us that we do not get quite
the amount of happiness we are en-
titled to in this world Among the
countless things which tend to make
us more or less miserable i'll health
takes first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt a
crippled liver with the resulting i'm
pure blood, is the cause Of more men
tai gloom than any other single thing.
A chronic dyspeptic, says an eminent
English physician, is always on the
verge Of mental upset. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggregate
of pain and fear persons thus afIiict-
ed have suffered. You can see these
people everywhere. For them life
can scarcely be said to have any
bright side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for re-
lief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their Ugh position
in the confidence of the people by
bald assertions and Boosting adver-
tisements. They are obliged to win
it by doing actually what is claimed
for them. That this remedy deserves
its reputation is conceded 1t is pal
ltable as honey and contains the nu-
tritive and curative properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup Of Hypophosphites,
Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such a record of success
in Fevers, Rheumatism, Scrofula,
Lung Troubles. all emaciating com
plants and disorders, that tend
to undermine the foundations of
strength and vigor.' It's use helps to
show life's brighter side. Genuine,
only is effective from the first dose.
You cannot be disappointed in it."
