Then let that inner harbor, extending
from the old fish market around to
Beretania street and across 20 st. Louis
college, thence down past Leleo, the
Olnu Railway & Land Coo station TO
the prison, be set apart for inter
island commerce. The outer harbor

with increased wharf facilities, for the
great steamers and ships from foreign
porSs. This will bring the present
CHINATOWN into such close and con-
Venlent relations with the water front
Shad Its conversion into warehouses
standing on wide streets will be a
thing OF the near future. 1t ought
never to be allowed to revert to its
former condition; it will not do SO If
such a perfectly feasible plan as above
outlined rs adopted and every opera
ton undertaken in the future is made
to be'in accord with that proposed de-
velopment.
III 1t Is suggested that coal and lum-
Der are too far removed from town for
local convenience, the south side OF the
harDor, lying between the entrance
and Kakaako, already walled in
might be utilized for the purpose. But
IL would be open to a number of OBJ
Jecticns, not the least of which will
be the distance away from the center
OF inter-island shipping. There is no
question that Honolulu as a CONNER
cial center would be much improved
to have the harbor relieved OF the ad-
ditional burden of shipping and sup
plies with the necessary space occu-
pied by wharves, warehouses and other
room of the United States Army and
Navy. So far as friendly relations are
concerned, all of these things with
The officers and men required to man
them, are always doubly welcome. But
Honolulu harbOr is small, and its
oramped condition must be a great in
convenience to both departments. 1t
Is recognized, however, that Honolu-
LUIS commercial claims are first, both
in time and other respects and ii
would be to the advantage of all, not
least TO the United States, to establish
the war and naval port at Pearl Har.
Dor. where every condition is favor
able. This fact has been well illus
trated during the recent existence OF
plague, when transports and other YES
sells were either kept away or visited
Honolulu with some possible danger
and IN a manner disappointing to all.
Ii the port had been Pearl Harbor,
and headquarters with barracks and
all appurtenances on Ford's Island,
there would not have been any inter
ruption in the visits. Ships would
have gone in, landed troops on the
island, discharged and received freight,
stores, coal and other necessities, with
immunity.
With nothing occupied, plans can be
made with reference only to the re-
quirements OF naval and military sta
ton; whereas in Honolulu such is not
the case. The United States officers
who are men of good sense, recognize
these things and would probably well
come a change. Certainly such a de-
sire has more than once been init
mated.
Much can be added on this subject,
but the patience OF your readers must
not be stretched too much. and there
are other lines which are open for fu-
ture suggestion.

TO DODGE LIGHTNING.
Some Simple Safeguards Against
This Very Erratic Element.

From the Philadelphia Times.
An unusual number of lives have
been lost this season by the lightning
stroke, and the destruction of prop
erty by fire resulting from lightning,
has been exceptionally great Espec-
tally is lightning destructive when 1t
is attracted to barns which are filled
with the new crops from which inflam-
mable gases escape FOR some time af-
ter they are first housed. At this sea-
son of the year it is next to impossi-
BILE to save a barn from destruction
if lightning shall strike it without even
penetrating it.
1t is not possible to protect life and
property against the lightning stroke
under all circumstances, but by the
exercise of COmmOn-SenSe precautions
the ,OSS of life and property may be
reduced to the minimum. In a ma
iority of cases where deaths by light
ming are reported, those who suffered
the fatal stroke nave taken refuge un-
der trees i'm open fields, or have sat
in houses with windows or doors open,
giving the lightning an excellent con-
ductOr in the damp current of air pass
ing through the building. Deaths by
lightning inside of a building are very
rare when the windows and doors are
closed, and this precautlon is so OBJ
viously reasonable that all should un-
| derstand and respect it.
We often see the reports of what
| are called the freaks of lightning, I'm
| evident forgetfuness of the fact that
| lightning follows the law of attraction
as scrupulously as the falling apple
| follows the law of gravltation. What
| ever apparently fantastic tricks the
! lightning stroke may exhibit 1t simply
proves where the strongest attractions
were presented. The two reasonable
| precautions which should be most OBJ
vious to all are most frequently disre-
| garded by persons taking refuge from
storms under trees in the open fields
and sitting in the house with oper
| windows and doors,
| In no one thing have the farmers o.

the country been so widely and atro-
Ciously swindled as in the purchase of
utterly inadequate and badly con-
structed lightning rods for their houses
and barns. and an imperfect lightning
rod is very much worse than none at
all. Not one-third of the lightning rod
conductors attached to buildings
throughout the country afford any pro-
lection against lightning, and many
of them would attract the lightning
without conducting the discharge in
safety to the earth. Every barn
should have the best possible protec-
ton against lightning, as in the sum-
mer season the escaping gases from
fresh crops very greatly increase their
danger.
In nearly all instances barns could
be entirely protected by being properly
equipped with copper cable conductors.
The conducting capacity of the light
ming rod is in it's surface, and a cable
has treble or quadruple the conducting
capacity of a single rod because of
the multiplied surface given by it's
several strands. In addition to having
pointers at the various exposed por-
tions of the building, all should con-
meet Win Il COllllltlt NHtuil dIpullu lllC
base of the roof, from which two or
more cables should go to the ground
and there be embedded in sufficient
depth to assure moisture in the dFyest
season. Buildings thus protected are
very rarely injured by electrical dis-
charges.
Many persons have very unreason-
able apprehensiOns OF lightning, but
| II is wise for all to understand that
| it Is source of danger TO life and
property that should be avoided as
much as possible 1t is always pru-
| dent when thunder-stocms appear to
avoid needless exposure to lightning
! by taking refuge under trees, or sit-
| ting in draughts in a house. or even
on a porch. When the utmost precau-
tion is taken there cannot be entire
safety from electrical discharges, but
the observance of plain cOmmon-sense
| rulos which should be well understood
by even those of the most ordinary
intelligence, would greatly diminish
the loss of life by lightning.

ULTIMATUM TO OPERATORS.
Will Be Presented on July 30 by
United Mine Workers.

Wilkes-Barre, July 10.-The United
Mine Workers district convention,
which has been in session at Pittston
the last two days. adjourned this even
ing. 1t was given out that a joint
meeting of the three districts OF the
United Mine Workers OF the anthra-
cite region would be held at Hazleton
on July 30.
1t is said final ultimatum will then
be issued to the operators. The four
great questions that the miners have
been discussing for some time will
then come up for final disposition.
These questions are:
First-Will the operators obey the
state law and pay their men every two
weeks?
Second-Will the operators grant a
reduction in the price of powder?
Third-Will the operators recognize
the miners union?
Fourth-Will the operators consent tc
a fair dockage system?

STARVING PEOPLE

looks at the gaunt body of the starving Hindoo Give
he becomes strong, active man. If someone were to
come to the hungry Hindoo and say, What you need
This is just the case of the starving American The
thing his body needs is food He has plenty to eat
but he is not fed because it is not what is eaten which
nourshes the body but that which after being eaten
digested and assimated. Medicine can't feed. There
is only way known to Nature by which the body
and its several organs be made strong and that is
by food For this reason man can be stronger than
his stomach. When the stomach is weak" then the
body will be weak also, because "weak" stomach
involves the digestive and nutrtve systems. The
sequence is that only portion of the food received
into the stomach can be converted into nutrition, and
the organs of the body, like soldiers in beseged ca-
del, grow daily weaker as their rations reduced

DOG MEAT IS USED.
The Effects of Excluding Products
from Germany.

the high price of other meat not only
horse meat, but also dog meat Is used

the consul general, does not adequate
ly protect the consumer against bad
meat, but excludes many first class
products from the country. The con-
sumption Of horse meat here he says is
on the increase.
