Wadsworth, mother of the proprietor,
her husband felt inspired to give his
views on the subject, as follows:
ANNETTE COTTAGE,
MOUNTAIN VIEW FARM,
HIRAM, MAINE.
How beautiful It stands
Upon the green high lands,
Looking out upon the valley sweet,
Where clouds The mountains greet
Where hill. and valleys meet.
Like bride and bridegroom clasping hands;
While through the tall, green pines,
FestOnned by trailing Vines.
The silvery Saco ripples at their feet.
Among the many pleasant things to be
remembered is the Episcopal Sabbath
service, which has been omitted but
once in ten weeks

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-10-26

The next international navigation
congress will be held at Dusseldorf
Germany, June 20 to July 6, 1902. There
will be two sections, one for inland, the
other for ocean navigation. In the for
mer the following will be discussed:
Hosting machinery; coal transporta-
ton on canals; dams; mechanical start
ing of vessels; the utilization of water
power of locks for generating electri-
city. In the section for ocean trans
portation, discussion will touch: The
use of lighter ships on the seas; the
construction and maintenance of dry
and repair docks; the construction and
cost of DREDGING machinery.

of Views The popular demand BE- for
iho construction of vessels that will not
only oSg. boz size tho ueutehl1nl and
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. but also
aurpaa them Boo speed. The Liverpool
steamship managers profess to believe
CHAT under present conditions, the limit
of speed has been practically reached,
from the standpoint of commercial sue
cess. The claim DE- made that &c would
mott pay To- build faster ships than those
now running between New York and
Liverpool
So from several directions Liverpool
is threatened should any Of this COM
petition really materialize the collapse
of Liverpool would not be sudden. 1t
would be gradual But IT is certainly
a lesson In point that might well be
taken to heart that commercial supre-
macy, and, in fact any supremacy is
not invulnorable. Especially is this
true of san Francisco. The other Paci-
hc ports are all reaching out for trade,
and San Francisco has not shown that
energy in meeting such competition as
she should. She has felt herself too
secure. But the opening out of new
railroad lines has Slapped her position
of security and the time may come
when she will no longer be the absolute
arbiter OF the destinies of the Pacific
trade.

Since there has been a market for
curious specimens of fish, a consider
able number are brought in. Formerly
odd specimens, having no market value
were promptly heaved overheard, and
only those fish which We're marketable
were kept. The visit OF the fish COM
mission has, however, had its effect
upon the fishermen, and they are eager
to preserve rare specimens. There will
be a much larger list of Hawaiian
fishes than was ever expected by the
naturalists, and the list is likely to
grow from year to year until all our
fnny tribe is catalogued.

Captain Ffuellin who was present at
the defence of Orleans remarked upon
the likeness between Wales and
Macedon. Were he now with us he
might have dwelt upon the likeness be-
tween Oahu and oregon, but Shake
speare knew neither oahu nor Oregon.
Ffuellin remarked There be rivers in
Wales and rivers in Macedon, and there
is saumons in both" The modern
Fhuellin might draw the comparison
There be sea coasts in Oregon and
sea coasts in oahu, and there is sau-
mons on both" Unfortunately the Ha-
waiian "saumon" proves to be no "sau-
mon" but something akin to it, so the
comparison fails.

The work upon the mouth of Pearl
Harbor has been delayed, through non
arrival Of lumber, but it is safe to say
that once it arrives the work will be
hurried on as rapidly as possible. The
deepening of the entrance to Pearl Har-
Dor is by no means the Herculean task
that it used to be considered. But then
scientific engineering is very much ad-
vanced since first the subject of deep
ening was preached.

The Star figured out yesterday that
about $15O,OOO. Suppose it should be
proved that Captain Tilley was not on
a jag at all, it might be in order to
collect this from the gentlemen who
brought the charge. 1t is quite posi-
stantated. 1t would have been cheap
er to have given accusers, witnesses
and accused first class tickets by the
Spreckels line and lodge them at the
Palace hotel. But under those circum-
stances perhaps charges might become
frequent. A bill for the cost of the
exposition might have a more deterrent
effect, -

The expense of holding a special cleo
ton is considerable, much more than
for the per capita of a general election.
The law, however, requires it, and the
law has to be obeyed. The election will
be contested by the Republican party,
and the Hilo district may look forward
to a lively little campaign.

The yachting Association has lost no
time in inaugurating some races which
will give interest to their frequent
weekly outings. 1t has been a surprise
to many visitors. that with such admir-
able facilities there has not been more
interest taken in local yachting. The
formation of the Hawaii yacht associa-
ton will give an impetus to the sport
which it has needed very much

The news from Hamakua continues
perfectly satisfactory. The drought is
broken, and there will not be a reoc-
probability. If the cattle can be kept
off the young underground as it comes
up, there will soon be jungle in the
forests which have so recently suffered
from fire.
