CARRIES A DESTRUCTIVE DAG
GER ON HIS BACK.
Inspector Berndt Secures Two speci-
mems Strange to Hawaiian Classifca-
tion-Wil Take a Trip on Albatross.

Louis Berndt. market inspector and
informal aid to the Fisheries Commits
sion has again been lucky in securing
specimen of a fish which seems to be
unclassifed and presents peculiarities
entirely distinctive The new specimen
young shark, was brought in from
Waianae, being caught in the deep wa
ter some distance from the reef. While
the specimen is comparatively harmless
being only some eighteen inches in
length, his more fully grown COngeners
would prove lively customers, one of
them humping into the canoe of the
native fishermen and seriously dama.-
ing it with the horn on it's back which
distinguishes it from other species.
The shark is a good deal like other
selaChians in shape, but is Of a darker
gray in color It's teeth instead of fit

Cular serrated rows are placed "On the
bias slanting sideways, the lower jaw
to the left and the upper to the right.
Both the dorsal fins are armed behind
the regular rays with a natural dagger
of horn, sharp and hard as a tigers
claw. In a large fish the projection
would be as formidable a weapon, when
the fish came up underneath an adver-
sary or perhaps a canoe, as the blade
of a sword fish.
This is what happened to the canoe,

larger fish may have possibly been the
parent of the smaller one and either re-
cOgnizing the canoe as a natural enemy
or thinking it some sluggish fish mon
ster who could be easily made a prey,
ripped up the sofe bottom of the craft
and sent the fishermen to land for re-
pairs.
These natural daggers of the new
shark could form terrible weapon Of
Offense when opposed to the soft sto-
mach of some big fish which could be

seems to have dOubly armed it with
means of attack on both sides. The AL
batrOss folk will esteem the new dis-
COvery as a prize on their return from
their present cruise although it is pos
sible that the shark has been classified
already, though not in Hawaiian wa
teTs.
Another fish new to these waters has
been brought in and floats today in for

scientists aboard the AlbatrOSs. This is

FOUND THE ISLAND
CAPTAIN LAWLEss WAS LOOKING
FOR IT.
De Greaves Has the Secret of It's Lau-
tude and Longitude and viii Keep

John De Greaves, the keeper of the
local mOrgue, is the man referred to in
a San Francisco nwspaper as the dis
COverer of an unknown island which
Captain Lawless of the Australia sight
ed on his last trip from Tahiti. Law
less is a friend of De Greaves and has
long known of the existence Of the ISL
and. In fact he has been on the look
out for it on every trip since he took
the Tahiti run and kept De GreaVes
informed of results. The last letter
from the captain Of the Australia stated.
that he was confident of the existence
of the island, but had not been able to
locate it. 4.
1t is 40 years since Captain De
Greaves discovered the island, which is
rich in phosphorus. De Greaves was on
a cruise in the General Wool, bound for
CallaO. He took some pieces of phos-
phOrus from the Island and had them
assayed in Melbourne. Then plans were
laid for claiming the Island and work.
ing it's deposits but they ended in fail
ure, because there was too much merri-
ment on the vessel.
The trouble with these expeditions"
said Captain De Greaves, lis that there
is too much of the pleasure trip about
them. Our vessel was a sort of float
ing hotel and gin and whisky flowed
altogether too fTeely.T
Since then there have been no other
efforts to find the island De Greaves
has discussed propositions to work it
with men of money but he says that
the men who put up the capital always
want the lions share and he doesn't
propose to work it that way. 1t is not
unlikely now that Captain Lawless has
taken the latitude and longitude and
will take the necessary steps to claim
the island for De Greaves. In such an
event the latter may go to the coast
and look after the proposition.
Captain De Greaves has the latitude
and longitude noted from his memory,
but he is keeping it secret 1t is in the
log of the old General Wool, but that
vessel and her logs are things of the
past.
"I am confident that the island can
be found and that 1 could find it," said
De Greaves, rbut 1 don't know that I
want to tackle it again Ii is about a
mile wide and a mile and a half long,
and is rich in phosphorus. There are
probably fortunes there for several
men. 1 remember a lagoon, in which
fish were very plentiful The island is
very low and I thought it might have
subsided until Captain Lawless report
ed it,"
De GTeaves has been knocking about
the Pacific for over 40 years, on the sea
most of the time and making visits to
all sorts of islands. He was in Homo
lulu during the days of King Kalakaua
and was in the latter's employ as a
secretary.

COOPER RECEIVES A LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON.
Secretaries Acting as Governors are to
Consider Themselves Possessing All
Gubernatorial Powers and Duties.

Secretary and Acting Governor Coon
er received by the Alameda mail a let
ter from the Interior Department. con-
tanning a ruling as to the powers and
duties Of secretaries of territories when
they are filling the places of absent
governors. The ruling was made in
response to an inquiry from the Gov
ernor of the Territory of Arizona.
The inquiry from Arizona raised the
question of whether a secretary acting
as governor should regard himself as
really the governor in every sense OF
the word or as deputized merely to act
in perfunctory way and be ON hand
for an emergency which might require
the presence Of a governor. The De-
partment takes the former position. iu
the following extract from letter To
the CHIEF executive of Arizona. copy
of which was sent here for the benefit
Of Secretary Cooper:
1T is a part of the history of Terri
tOrial government that the Secretary
of the Territory in the absence of the
Governor .Ierefrhm, wherether tempo

tions This practice has been 50 long

and the practice which has grown up
thereunder. Congress evidently intend
ed that there shall. at all times. be a
person in the Territory with authority
to execute all the powers and perform
all the duties of governor The word
absence as used in the section, is
neither qualified nor restricted. Ii
must therefore be taken in it's ordinary
and generally understood sense In this
sense it is the opposite of presence
The governor. when present within
the Territory, is clothed with all exc
Cutive powers. When he is not within
the Territory, such powers devolve up
on the Secretary, and the section makes
it mandatory upon him to assume and
perform them. The governor is absent
from the Territory the moment he steps
beyond its borders, and while so absent
from whatever cause or for whatever
length of time the Secretary shall exc
