MANY SAILORS ARE LOST
VESSELS ARRIVING MEET WITH
BAD LUCK.
What One Man Says About the Mat
ter-Thinks Seamen May Have
Deteriorated in Recent Years

DO you know" said one of the best
posted captain on the water front to-
day that something is the matter with
the sailing boats nowadays? The rec
ords which they have brought to this
port recently for loosing men is some
thing startling. 1t used to be that
man lost over board or by a fall from
the rigging was rare occurrence. But
not so now. l venture to say that if
you will look up the records on the
subject you will find that within the
last few months the vessels arriving
here have lost more men by fifty per
cent than any other similar period can
show. By losing men / do not mean
the member of the crew dying by ma
tural causes or by any tragedy similar
to that which occurred on the schooner
j. A. Campbell but by the men falling
from the rigging especially. l can name
within the last month four or five Ves-
sells that have lost men in this man
ner.
1T would be interesting to determine
the cause for the fatalities, and to see
on what style vessel they occurred,
whether square or fore anu aft rig.
Personally 1 have not given the mat
ter any special consideration but one
reason which can be advanced is that
the quality of the sailors has deterio-
rated in recent years. The style of
rigging might also have something to
do with it."
This observation is certainly appro-
pos. The vessels which have come to
port lately have had bad luck. The
circumstances of so many coming to-
gether with stories of loosing seamen
naturally causes more interest in the
reason for the loss of the men. 1t
would be difficult to determine exactly
why so many men are lost. Perhaps
some will try to explain the occurrence
by the statement that deaths come in
cycle and is nothing but the fortunes
of the sea, others are not so ready tC
accept this version however. There is
no reflection on the ships officers ex-
pressed but some people seem to think
that the fault, if there is any, lies with
the character of men who go aloft. II
is probable however that no good eX-
planation can be offered. 1t just hap
pens so and that is all there is to it.

EXTRA SESSION ALREADY NEAR
LY 80 DAYS.
Members Not Paid for Time After Next
Week-Representativ Buckle Down
to Serious Work

The return of Representative Beck
ley has done all that was claimed it
would do and is resulting in the first
real hard, steady work of the session
in the lower house. Beckley's message
from President Mckinley advisin~ the
members of the Home Rule party to go
ahead and make appropriations on a
basis of public policy, dropping Dolitics
and spites, has been taken to heart.
During the weeks while Beckley was
away, the time was practically wasted.
Some members were resolved to do
nothing till they heard from Beckley.
Some had hopes that the president
would do something radical at once,
and they 1"vfully anticipated an extra
session, by order of the president.
While the presidents message to the
Home Rulers threw down all such
hopes there was enough diplomatic ad-
vice in it to make the Home Rulers
want to better their record as workers.
1t is now stated that the session will
not last much longer, but that the
members will keep up their present
speedy work. adjourn and go home.
The legislature will have been in
extra session a month in week from
now. That is all the time for which
the members get any nav. They are
allowed 5000 each for each extra ses-
sion of the legislature, which is e"uiva-
lent to one months pay according to
the rate of $4O0 for the 60 days of the
regular session. After next week, there
fore, the members may consider that
that they are working for nothing,
which will be an additional reason for
finishing up and going home. Owing
to the lack of any plan of co-oneration
/ between the two houses, the quickes-
work will not finish the session in very
short order, however Each house is
going through the whole bill separately
and independence of the other.

WILL CURB HooDLUMs.
Judge Wilcox Gives a Severe Sentence
to Native.

Judge Wilcox taught an excellent
lesson in court this morning to the
young hoodlums who make a practice
of attacking inoffensive people. Ka-
pule and Hukialiilii, two native boys,
were charged with assault and battery
upon Kaaihue. He testified that he
was going along Kukui street when
the two fellows, one of whom was Ka-
pule, stepped up and asked him where
he was going. He renlied that he wo
on his way to his sisters house. They
asked If he did not wish to fight and
upon his negative reply proceeded
attack him. One of them knocked him
down and ran away while Kapule re-
mained to finish the job. He left his
mark on Kaaihue who was severeis
beaten.
In his defence, Kapule testified that
he had not first attacked Kaaihue.
Some other man had knocked him down
and then Kapule mistaking him for a
person against whom he had a grudge
continued the attack. The court said
that such outrageous conduct must be
stopDed and he sentenced Kapule to 6O
days. Hukialiilii did not take part IN
the assault and was discharged.

causes.

MUST GET PUNCHING BAGS.
Judge Wilcox Issues Important Edict
To Husbands.

Hereafter muscular husbands will be
required to secure punching bags when
they are "ginned up" Their wives shall
no longer be utilized for that purpose.
Judge Wilcox laid down this law in
court this morning. 1t was in the case
against w. Mahuku charged with as
sault and battery upon Mrs. Mahuku.
II guess the truth of this matter is''
said the court, that you got too much
gin or whiskey, whichever it was you
drank. aboard and you felt strong and
you wanted to punch something so
you thought you would use your wife.
You must not do so any more. Iu flu
ture, if you feel muscular and think
that you must hit something go out
and buy a punching bag. Don't use
your wife for that purpose. You are
discharged" :"

A Curious Orchid.
2 Boston TRANSCRIPT.

From the Boston Transcript
A most curious and interesting or
child has lately been discovered by Mr.
E. A. Suverkrop of Philadelphia. while
engaged in plant hunting along tie Rio
de Ia Plata. He was sitting by the
side of a lagoon. near forest of dead
trees which had been choked to death
By orchids and climbing eacti a
branch OF one of these trees stretched
out in front OF him and about foot
above the water Upon this branch
were growing many orchids and among
the rest there was one which Mr. Suv-
srkrop had never seen before. The
sharp. lanceolate leaves grew all round
the root and radiated from ii. and from
the center OF the axis of the plant
there hung long. tape-like stem, an
eighth OF an inch thick and fourth
of an inch wide. This stem hung down
in a graceful curve, and about four
inches of it We're under the water. On
going up TO examine the new specf
men. the discoveTer touched the leaves
and was astonished TO see the center
stem conyulsively coil itself into a
spiral like the spring of a watch. On
close examination and dissection il was
found that the stem was long. fat
tube with an opening at the outer ena
and connected al the inner end with
the roots by a series of hair-like tubes.
BY observation Il was found that the
purpose of this stem WAS TO supply
water TO the roots When the plant is
thirsty the proboscis is gradually IN
coiled and lowered until the tip is I'LL
ed with water. Then il is gradually
eoiled up again, carrying with it the
water. which as the last coil is made
trickles out upon the roots st the other
