The trip of Captain Pond, Y. S. N.
to locate and resurvey the reefs and
islets which stretch north westward
from the Hawaiian group, will be a
most important one. 1t is claimed that
the positions Of several of these are in
correctly charted. 1t is certain that
many ships have been wrecked upon
these islets. From some the story of the
wrecks has reached these shores, from
others nothing has ever been heard,
only the rotting timbers mark the lone
ly resting place of some vessel that got
out of her reckoning and went to her
doom with all on board. Captain Pond
was so successful on his last summers
cruise, that this one may be looked to
to bring about like good results.

WHAT IS IT?

Where is wireless biography, any
way? Has it ever done anything than
deliver a fake message? Is if not
about time that the gentlemen con-
snected with its installation should give
d lecture with demonstrations as to
what wireless telegraphy can do. The
entire public of the Islands know what
it cannot do. A full year has been
taken up in trying to get connections,
and the experiments are absolute fail
nres. Upon this matter there can be
no doubt about the position Of The
Star. 1t welcomed the arrival of the
plant, 1t refrained from criticism for
months, 1t paid out money to test the
success of the venture. Unfortunately
1t always found that something had
gone wrong, or some one was not on
hand when the test was to be tried
What opinion can any one have Of this
so-caled invention?
The summing up is obvious. (a)
Either wireless telegraphy is an abso-
lutte fake, or (b) the people in charge
of its installation here, do not know
or understand their business. Take
either horn of the dilemma, neither is
pleasant, but both are logical from the
premise before the public,
1t may be lesson to our over enthusi-
astic scientists TO go slow. There are
plenty of so-called scientific matters
which are not real science. There are
charlatans in science as there are char
latans in religion and one wonders
which is the greater rascal.

The fact that is swordfsh's horn
should be found imbedded in the keel
but no wonderful. If one goes back
to the memories of the old whaling
days there are several stories of similar
occurrences, In fact to very small
vessels the sword fish was veritable
menace. There are also many tales of
the battles between whales and sword
fish. Some of these are still told in
quiet valleys and gulches of the ISL
ands, where some old whaler has set
tied and is taking his rest, but willing
to recount, in a very strange English,
garnished with strong epithets, the eX-
ploits of a by-gone time.

HOW IT is USED.

The school system of the Territory
is one of the most important consider
atoms before the coming Legislature.
There is nothing more vital to a pro-
gressive and growing and expanding
people than it's school system. A Leg
islature should thoroughly understand
what it is dealing with in such a mat
Ter. 1t should acquaint itself, or have
some portion of its body thoroughly
acquaint itself with what is going on,
and with what should be done to i'm
prove the system as now worked.
No system is ever perfect, but much
can be done to make it more efficient.
The educational system of the eighties
and nineties may have been good, and
was good, but the advancing years, the
opening century demands more.
AS far as can be learned, the majority
of the Legislature is anxious that a big
stride should be made in educational
advancement. There could be nothing
more worthy of the attention of men
whose ideas are centered upon the ad-
vancement of their country. Educa-
ton has made the United States what
it is. There never was a boy in log
cabin who could not aspire to be presi-
dent of the United States, and though
the successful men in that line can
be counted on the fingers of ones hand,
there are plenty who have filled almost
every position of trust and emolument
in the Union.
One key to success is the ability to
use language. Integrity is more than
a key, it is a master-key, but it takes
time to show it, and it requires tempta-
ton to prove its worth. But granted
the master-key, the question of ability
to use language is absolutely impera-
tive, And it is upon language that the
Hawaiian has to bank. A Frenchman
in the Mainland can get into a French
environment. An Italian will find
plenty of friends, a German hundreds.
thousands of countrymen. Yet one and
all of these friends will drop their ma
tive tongue and take up their acquired
English whenever serious business is to
be discussed. English is the language
of commerce.

permeates other branches of industry.
1t is always the necessity of watching
the work done at the moment, not the
inspection or rejection of it afterwards.
1t would be a wonderful step in cur
civilization, and a wonderful step in
economy if it were possible that men
could be estimated to do a certain line
of agricultural work without the con-
tinuous overlooking of an overseer or
Tuna" To reach such a condition
would be reach the true ideal. But
there seems no doubt that though gem
eral supervision is thoroughly neces-
sary, and central control is indispen-
sable, still it is waste of good material
to set it watching others, when, much
better results might be got out of the
watcher. 1t is a poor work to put a
man to, "a luna's job"

Aguinaldo may be dead. He may not
be dead. AS matter of fact the Unit
ed States is not bothering about
Aguinaldo. What the United States is
troubling about is the rapid transfor-
nation of the peaceful citizen into an
aggressive insurgent, and his quick re-
zen once more. 1t is very much the
same problem that is found in South
Africa. At one moment, usually the
successful moment the Boer elects to
be a combatant. Shortly after he is
discovered to be a peaceful pastoral
hand and is a non-combatant.

The rising of the Nuuanu stream has
been carefully watched, which is per-

the recent rain would cause a flood. A
large part of the recent storm has de-

What the people at the mouth of Nuu-

burst in the mountains. Then the wa

Ten days for contempt of court is a

no matter whatever as to the individual
opinion of anyone as to the personnel

LUNAS.

'These are the first people who are
working without an overseer and in
fact they do not need Iunas'" Thus
says a letter to The Star, published
yesterday. 1t was written from Ko-
hala about the new importation of Por-
uese-Americans, and it is worth
some considerable consideration.
When men enter upon a new kind of
work, they Of course need some one to
show them how to do that work.
Moreover they need supervision to see
that they are not slack. In the first
have many supervisors, in the latter
there need be few. The luna" sys-
TEN on the Islands has caused a great
deal Of the criticism of our labor ques-
ton. This comes from the class of
man who are employed as luna"
To the average reader, with no
knowledge of the Islands, the luna, "
who is only an overseer, is pictured as
a sort of Legree in Uncle Toms Cabin.
He is supposed to walk about with top
boots and big black snake whip. and
TO terrorize a set of covering slaves.
From a fair knowledge of '1unas" one
is obliged to say that the luna is in
many cases more afraid of the men he
is directing than they are of him.
The plantations, up to the present,
have had an idea that there must be
an Overseer in every part of the es-
tate to see that the work is done prop
erly and satisfactorily. The same idea

The president cannot withdraw the
