A HONOLULU MAN
Talks of Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills

When an incident like the following
occurs here at home it is bound to
carry weight with our readers. The
public statement of reputable citizen
living in this city. leaves no ground
for the skeptic to stand on
Mr.. James c. Stevens, of this city,
informs us: II was troubled with an
ache in the small of my back for a long
time, and such was the condition of
things until / tried some of Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills, which 1 OBJ
tanned at the HOLSTER Drug Co.'s
store. short treatment gave me the
desired relief, and l am satisfied that
they are a good remedy for backache
and deserve to be recommended"
Mr.. Stevens is one of our own cit
liens. Is not such testimony stronger
than that of someone living in Amer
lea?
Does your back or side ache so that
it is hard to stand straight? Do you
have headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot, dry skin, or shortness of
sleep? Are your eyelids distended or
breath? Evil forebodings or unsettled
sleep? Are your eyelids distended or
feet and ankles swollen and have you
lost flesh? Are the secretions from the
kidneys thick, dark colored, and do.
they deposit sediment? Kidney dis
ease is insidious and if you leave any
OF these symptoms you should treat
them at once. Delay may mean you
you can't be cured.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and store keepers
at so cents per box, six boxes $3.50, or
will be mailed on receipt of price by

From a study of deep sea waves DR..
G. Schott has estimated that their
speed, under very moderate breeze, is
seventeen miles an hour, increasing to
twenty-five miles in strong breeze,
and reaching twenty-eight miles only
in storms.
The length of sea waves in a strong
breeze reaches 260 it.; in storms they
get to a length of 400 it. or 425 it.,
but lasting nine seconds only. The
longest waves DR.. Schott ever encoun-
tered were in the Indian Ocean, where,
lasting fifteen seconds, their length
was 1,150 it. and their velocity more
than forty-siX nautical miles an hour.
The height of waves is not so great
as is sometimes supposed. The waves
mountains high" of the poet are utter
fictions. The greatest height observed
by DR.. Schott was 80 ft.. and he be-

SEA AND SHORE
Is it the Abandoned
SIoop?
Busiest Time the Harbor Ever Saw.
An Argument, Yarns and
Facts--Notes.

Something of mystery is attached
to the little sloop which swamped off
Makapuu Point on Saturday with P. J..
Hollander and G. T. Turner. A Jap
anese servant telephoned Marshal
Brown yesterday morning from the
Marshals place near the scene of the
wreck, reporting that a small sloop
had drifted in and had been secured
1t was understood from the tele-
phone message that the sloop which
has come ashore, came in on an even
keel, containing very little water and
with sails set. The description given
OF the boat agrees with that of the lit
tie vessel in which Hollander and Tur-
ner went afishing and which was aban-
doned by them when they were saved
from a watery grave by the schooner
Lady. When the fishermen were res
cued, the sloop, according to their
story, was on her beam ends and fast
making up her mind to go to the bot
tom.
If the wreck sloop and the returned
craft are one and the same boat it is
a mystery how she ever righted her
cClI, II llllulCu lItE Sails, Ddll6U n6rSel1
out and came ashore in such good con-
dition.
Hollander and Turner are of the
opinion that the boats are the same
but are at loss to explain the mirac-
ulous transformation of the sinking
wreck to the dainty homecoming
craft
Hollander will visit the scene of the
disaster this morning and attempt to
clear up the mystery. The two men
were kept busy yesterday showing
their friends the many and vari-color-
ed bruises on their persons, received
from the banging they got against the
half floating wreck by the force of the
waves. Possibly the returned sloop
has story of it's own; great interest
is manifested in the matter and a solu-
ton of the mystery is awaited with
much curiosity.
