A CANOE With
LADIES SWAMPED

Four ladies had a most exciting time
in a canoe the other day at Waikiki
Two of the party, an elderly lady and
her daughter, who are about to return
to the coast, decided that canoe
ride would be a most enjoyable way
of spending time in-Honolulu, and they
invited two other ladies to go with
them. All four started out merrily
with three natives manning the boat
Things went delightfully."- until they
were outside the reef, where the water
is very Deep when a sudden squall
arose and overturned the canoe, throw
ing the occupants into the water. Mel
Their of the ladies could swim, and as
the waves buffeted them from side to
side they clutched at the upturned
canoe and hung on for dear life. The
natives worked valiantly to right the
little craft, but so heavy were the
waves that this was a well nigh i'm
possible feat Meanwhile the women
were beginning to feel the strain,
physically and mentally, and the ma
tives, at last realizing that they could
not succeed in getting the canoe right
ed. signalled with their oars to the
people on shore and a sail boat put out
and rescued the entire party after
about 80 minutes of what must surely
have been a most thrilling experience

MACY THOUGHT IT
WAS EXPLOSIVE

A practical joke was played on Sam
Macy, the hack inspector, at the police
station the other day, which sent his
heart on the hop, skip and jump into
his mouth. Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth had just removed from his new
detective camera a roll of film prepar-
atory to sending it to a photographer
for developing. The film has the APP
pearance of a cartridge or an explosive
cylinder. AS the deputy was passing
through a corridor he met Macy and
explained to him that it was the most
dangerous missile he had ever carried,
stating further that it was filed with
nitro-glycerine.
Macys eyes opened up wide and he
admonished his superior to be careful
with it. The deputy said that If it
dropped to the floor it would explode
and blow anyone in it's vicinity to
atoms. Suddenly the deputy tossed it
into the air and made as If to catch it,
allowing it, however. to slip through
his fingers. AS it started on its course
toward the floor Macy gave a yell
which could be heard down in the pris-
on cells and leaped backward. The
deputy also yelled. The innocent pack
age struck Sans boot, and he almost
tainted.
When the astonished inspector recov-
cred the use of his seven senses and
the color came back to his cheeks, he
regarded the deputy intently for an
instant and the latter was compelled to
1iva tho iOIxe away
Well" said Sam, you yelled, too;

A City Hall employee tells the story OF
an office-holder who was one of party
that attended the funeral of a Chinaman
on a recent Sunday. He took great deal
of interest in the queer services at the
grave. and noticed that, among other
things, a roasted duck was left there by
the departing mourners. Calling one OF
the "Chinks'' aside he asked:
why did you leave that duck on the
grave? Do you think the dead man will
come out and eat it?''

There is a story going the rounds

runs, belonged to a well-to-do family
living near the railroad track, in the
vicinity of the East school After his

TO go bad, and became the terror of
the neighborhood. He not only ate up
all the tomato cans handy, but old
boots, rubbers, pieces of hose (gar.

anything that got in his way. He wan.

WHAT CAUSES DANDRUFF.
Greatest European Authority on Skin
Diseases Says It's a Germ.


Diseases Says It's a Germ.

scales Of skin thrown off, through a

authority on skin diseases, says dan.
druff is a germ disease. The germ
burrows under the scalp, throwing up
little scales of cuticle. and sappiug the

Ants as Gum Makers.

Walter Busse states that in east Az
rica practically all the excretion OF
gum is proyosed by ants, They pcrfor-
ate the bark OF the acacia in order TO
lay their eggs in the wood. The soft
wood acacias generally show few
wounds OF this kind, but those of the
hardwood species are riddled with
them, each perforation being marked
with a globue Of gum. The ant makes
no use Of the gum. Ii is only an oh
