HONOLULU HAS No
BOOM IN REALTY
N. ". Griswold Says We
Are Enjoying a Ma
tural Prosperity.
HIS LONG EXPERIENCE
WITH LOT FLURRIES
Sees in Honolulu a Second Singapore
With Her Yearly Increase
Of Business and I'm
portance.

W. w. Griswold, for two and one half
years. close observer OF commercial
subjects In Honolulu, and a man of rs
years experience in the real estate
business, does not believe that a real
estate boom is on in Honolulu.
Mr.. Griswold knows boom when he
sees 1t. He was through the boom pc
Rod in California in 1887. He was at
the head of several syndicates operat-
ing In boom towns aud learned to
know boom from a boomlet and a
boomlet from healthful state of pros
perity.
II have noticed no indications OF a
boom in Honolulu real estate" said Mr..
Griswold. 81 came here two and half
years ago to investigate conditions. ]
look upon Honolulu as a very import
ant commercial center. compare II In
good many ways with Singapore,
which has had such steady, contin-
uous growth on account Of its shipping.
! expect to see this city grow within
the next ten years to a population of
$4,000. The additions will be chiefly
American citizens. There will be more
competition in business and Americans
are good home buyers.
zone reason why prices of real es-
tate may be a little stiff here is the ex-
istence Of several large estates under
lease, which are not sub-divided. The
present subdivisions on the market
will not more than supply natural de-
mand for one year.
"As to prices, home sites from $3.50
to $4,000 within easy reach of the post
Office is certainly not extortionate. 7
do not think there is any surer method
of getting at the exact value Of real
estate than by putting the lots up at
public auction. The recent auction at
College Hills brought out some toler-
ably stiff prices, but the location was
extra desirable.
There are many conditions here to
induce people to purchare homes. The
people are generally prosperous and
good wages are paid. Men with fami.
lies do not like to pay house rent.
I do not look for much OF an In
crease in the price OF Honolulu real
estate, except as induced by the intro
duction of rapid transit. am puzzled
that any person could be led into the
statement that there is real estate
boom here. From nv experience In
the States. would describe the situa-
ton in local realty as that of steady
growth, indicating prosperity. I con-
slider boom the greatest curse that
can visit any city and know OF no rea-
son why we should become pesslmistic
because growth of population has given
a natural and steady increase to our
real estate value"

New ThOrOughfare
To the Wharves

The outlook for a new street from
the water front to Hotel street is made
much brighter by deal just closed
between the Department Of Public
Works and the Union Feed Company.
The Union Feed Company. through its
president. F. w. Macfarlane, made a
tender to the Public Works department
Of a sixty foot street, extending Kiluea
street to Queen street. This has been
accepted and the government will ma
cadamize the same.
This leaves two blocks. from Queen

Hotel street and the wfarves, parallel

get a sixty foot street through this
property on the same terms.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
The Nesbit Law was Amend.
cd and Is All Right.

jefferson City, Aug. 21.-Gov-
ernor Dockcry, replying to II re-
quest for an extra session of the
Legislature for the purpose Of re-
pealing the election law of st.
Louis, positively declined for the
reason that the last legislature
amended the law in several i'm
portant particulars, Kidding it of
those features which made partisan
advantage possible-the abolition
of office of deputy election commits
sioner and provision for "late reg
istration' at city hall and gave the
Republican member of the election
board the appointment of Repub-
lean Judges and clerks of elections.
The governor says that the law as
amended gives the republican com
missioner of st. Louis greater pow
er than is exercised by the minor
ity party, whether Democratic or
Republican, in any county i'll the
state. for under the general election
law the party in power in each of
the counties names absolutely the
judges and clerks for the minority
party.

LIGHTNING'S FREAKS.

Seemingly lac ~ ibi, CAprlces of the
Bic srlc FiuiL
Camille Fiammarion, the we'll
known French asst; onomer and writer,
| has for some time been making a spe-
cial study OF the effects OF lightning on
| men animals and other objects, and in
| order to illustrate the freaksh con-
duct OF lightning he recently told some
stories which seem incredible. Dur
Ag August Of last year, he says, a
! 'ung man Was struck by lightning
and was tai II distance OF fifty yards
".;hout being in the least conscious
lat anything unusual had happened to
him The lightning threw him against
the wall Of house, yet he only receiv-
ed wound on his knee, whereas two
cows, which were 200 yards away from
him were killed.
Frequently lightning strikes those
>, rsuns who take shelter under trees.
HIee soldiers sought refuge some
,!me ago under a linden tree and all
'hree were struck and killed as they
stood, side by side. Though dead,
they maintained their erect position,
but their bodies, when touched.
crumblcd away into dust. Flamma-
rlon's stories, however, are not all as
lragical as these. Thus he tells OF
two peasants who were preparing to
eat breakfast, when suddenly the
dishes were thrown on the ground, the
bread, cheese and fruit vanished from
the table and they themselves were
covered with straw. On another oc-
casion man walking through Nantes
was enveloped In lightning, yet was
not injured. When he reached home,
however, and opened his purse, which
had contained two pieces of silver and
one OF gold, he found that the gold
piece had vanished and that In its
place was silver piece. The light
ming had, in fact, pierced through the
leather OF the purse and had covered
the gold piece with a coating OF silver
taken from the other two pieces.

sproutinp Potatoes Are Poisonous.

Potatoes contain the poisonous aka
loid solanine. although this Is not gen.
orally recognized. New potatoes con-
tain comparatively little of this poison,
unless they grow above the surface OF
the ground and have a green skin,
when they are generally known to be
poisonous. 1t is not, however, known
widely that old potatoes contain much
of this poisonous principle and that
many cases of serious poisoning have
occurred in late summer when old
potatoes were used In 1892 and 1893
there was almost wholesale poison
ing among the troops of the German
army. The symptoms were headache
in the front OF the head, collie, d.
arrhoea. vomiting. weakness and slight
stupor and in some cases dilatation
of the pupils. DR.. Meyer Investigated
the matter and found in old potatoes
kept in a damp place and beginning to
sprout twenty-four times as much So
lanine as in new potatoes.

There Are the only newspaper

to stand mp against the saloon and
the liquor evil. The Louisiana
Press is a hitter from the shoulder
against this curse of our country.
Last week it referred to the local
situation and also hit Mexico a
rap. 1t said;
Mexico has three saloons and
Lou siana has ten. Mexico and
Louisiana are about the same size.
Is there any good reason why
Louisiana should drink over three
times as much liquor as Mexico!
Will Louisiana ever awaken to the
fact that her life blood is being
Slapped to feed the liquor power"
"The Mexico city council is 60
ing to reduce the saloon license on
account of the drouth, but it is
safe to say that it won't reduce
the merchants license. And yet
the merchants have doubtless suf-
fered more from the drouth than
the saloon because some men will
have liquor if their families go
without food and clothes"
