point is not to neglect the

does not cure. The one

A STRANGE pHtN MENoN.

A strange phenomenon has lately
appeared in the Hawaiian waters.
Shoals of fish about foot in length
and bearing in colors perfect repre-
sentation of the American flag. have
been found in Honolulu harbor and off
the beach at Waikiki. The red and
white stripes, the field of blue and
the tars, are all pictured in pure colors
and distinct outlines. Specimens of
these fish have been seen and care 'ully
examined By the most unimpeachable
witnesses, among whom we could men.

prominent business men. AS the ar
rival of these fish has followed so close
upon annexation, the natives look up
ON the fact as happy omen, and an
augury of great prosperity under the
American flag and the American Con
stitution.

fectly a parrots beak. On this same
occasion saw a magnificent specimen
of the Ulua, deep sea fish, which

sold it across the counter to Chi
nese for nine dollars. This fish was

PRORATE MATTERS.

William J. Sheehan. of West Haven, who died July 13, left no will, and an application was made yesterday to the probate court for an administrator Of the estate. One will probably be ap- pointed this week by Judge Cleaveland.
 There was lively hearing in the pro- bate court yesterday over the account ing of the estate of Patrick J. McNam- ara and on the removal of James Mc- Namara as conservator over his brother Patrick. Attorney David E. Fitzgerald appeared for James and Attorney Charles H. Fowler for the wife of P. J. McNamara. During the time that James acted as conservator he has kept no record of the money spent. Judge CleaveIand heard the evidence and had to interrupt the proceedings several times in order to preserve order in the court. He reserved his decision.

 While Professor A. Charles Hillman, the aeronaut, whose life is one long chapter of accidents and incidents, is scheduled to make two balloon ascen- sions next Saturday, he will also make them at o'clock in the afternoon and at 9;30 in the evening on the first pleas ant day that appears. A new feature will be added to the next ascension. This will be bicycle dive Hillman will take into fnidair with him bicycle attached to his parachute, and while descending to earth he will mount the wheel and as he touches the ground will ride away from the parachute, from which he frees himself as soon as he touches the ground. This Is an original act with this daring balloonist. and his attempt will be the first witnessed in this vicinity.
 Friday night the display of fireworks will be repeated on the ball grounds. The expert who manufac cures these es- pecially for these Friday night displays has caused many favorable expressions of delight at his high or aerial work.

DROWNED IN WEST RIVER
YOUNG JOHNBIRlfINGHAM LOST
 WHILE IN BATHING.

Stepped in a Hole aud Disappeared
 Brave Attempt to Save Ills Life by
 Friend-Seareh for the Body Con-
 tInued for Hours, but Without suc-
 cess.
 John Birmingham of f Hedge street. the thirteen-year- son of George Bir- mingham, employed at Long wharf, was drowned yesterday afternoon in the West river, about one hundred yards south of Oak street The acci- dent occurred at o'clock ill the pres ence of five or six of the boys com panions. Birmingham and his friends went swimming, as some of them did almost every day at that place, and af- utes Birmingham stepped in one of the many holes along the banks of the river and disappeared from sight. When he came to the surface he was several feet from the place where he disappeared and one of his friends, Frank Esemann, started out after him and managed to get a hold on the young fellow. Bir- mingham could not swim and in his eff forts to keep up pulled Esemann down until the latter thought his life was in danger and let go, after which young Birmingham sank from view.
 Several of the boys there and in the neighborhood did all they could to find the body and dove repeatedly near the spot but with no success. Five boats containing people with hooks hovered over the place until a late hour last night in the pouring rain but the boGy of the lad was not recovered.
 The drowned boy met with an acci- dent on the Fourth of July of such d serious nature that he was taken to Grace hospital and he was there until last Sunday
 Yesterday was the first time that he went bathing with his friends tns year and 1t is possible that if he had heen stronger he would rot have been drowned. The boy was weak from his stay in the hospital and was in no con- dition to go in the water.
