DOUBLE KAHtL1 HANDLE.
Something Novel and Hardly Known
to An{jquarians.

Thsre is now in the possession OF
Jas. w. l.. Mcclure, in his express-
age office on King street, near Ala
kes, very novel Hawaiian curio in
the hape Of a bahil handle with
two prongs or arms at the top for
feathers. 1t came into his posses
sion by purchase from an old ma.
tive woman who came down from
Maui, aud she claims to have dis
covered it in cave. $50
The entire handle is OF whale
bone, including the arms, but at
the intersection at the arms is q
piece Ct ivory, with pink beads
studded above it, and also another
piece OF ivcry (palaoa) at the end
OF the handle proper. The stem is
about two feet long, and the arms
each about as long, and is studded in
sections with yellow, blue and black
besds, probably OF Spaui5h or Of
missionary ori&in.
The claim is made that there is
none other OF The kind tx'aut nor
known to exist at the rreselt time or
to have existed since the missionaries
arrived here in 1920 But the claim
is also made that it is known that
one two. prorged kahili existed in
the time OF Lonoikamakahiki, a very
hi9h and sacred chief, who reignc d
over this island and Hawaii stimuli.
taneously about two or three centu-
ries ago or even more.

of the we'll known single kind. This
is also OF whalebone and about four
feet in length, but the handle pio-

and tortoise shell. Both OF these
handles are quite timber and Mr..

acquired them, but more particu.

The INDEPENDENT is ofthe opinion
that it is rightly within the province
OF the Superintendent Of Public
Works TO regulate the speed with
which the Rapid Transit cars are at
the present time going upon the
public highways within this city,
Those cars travel too speedily and
are source of great danger to the
people, more particularly from tho
power house through town out past
the one mile bridge beyond the Re-
formatorg School; and the same
may be said on the down grade from
Puunui hill along Liliha street,
where the speed is something reck-
less. But in the outskirts OF the
city we have nothing to say-these
cars may use all the speed necessary.
And still again, TIE INDEpsNDs MT
believes that the right is vested by
authority Of law in the Superintend-
ent OF Public Works to issue regu-
latione, and would urge upon him
the necessity of his doing so at
once, or as soon as practicable, be-
fore any very serious accidents oc-
cur. Accidents have already oc-
Cured, some fatally, and to prevent
any recurrence OF them, move
should at once be made in this di-
rection. 1t is very urgent and neces-
sary, and he ought to get move
right away, aud Immediately, too.
Better late than never" is true
saying,and we give this out for what
it is worth, it being, in our opinion,
worth some consideration AZ the

Attention has been privately
pointed out that The INDEPENDENT
might have erred in it's structures
upon those persons who sold beer at
Hoolulu Park, in Hilo, on the two
days race meet held there the be-.
ginning Of this year, for they might
have had the permission of the Gov
ernment for the privilege OF doing
so during those two days. They
might have had the license to do 30,
and which accounts for thu non
recognizance' OF the Sheriff and his
police. And then again, even il
such was the case, was it right that
such license should have been allow
ed to the detrment of the other
beer and liquor dispensers who
owned aud kept saloons there at
great expense for the purpose and
who paid much higher license fees
for the privilege2 1t was not just
to the saloon keepers and it should
not, as a matter of right and justice,
have been allowed there

LONDON, Jan. "a. Replying in the
House of Commons today to ques-
tions regarding the Governments
Eastern policy, Lord Crsnborne,
Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
said The occupation OF port on the
Persian Gulf by Russia or any other
foreign power would be Inconsistent
with the maintenance Of the, status

Since it has been declared that
the beer licenses issued by the Ter
ritory is unconstitutional, inasmuch
that it is against the United States
constitution and laws, the same

void and OF no force and effect. But
as to expressing an opinion pro and
con-, The INDEPENDENT feels that the
same should be left to those more
competent to deal with legal mat
ters,and particularly to those having
judicial minds. Judge Esteo's de-

clusion to be seen when the appeal
has been taken by those most con-

upon the request Of the Governor,
which was given to the Executive
Council yesterday while in session.

the government to act on the pre-
sumption that the clause applies to

MERITS OF FUEL OIL.

No object Is attracting more attention
now than the use of oil In steamships
and the Ncvadan furnishes the text for
much discussion.

when coal was used In the bunkeis
while i've hours sufiiced to oil the
tanks with oil before starting on this

coaling for a voyage Of corresponding
length. Time is often matter of much
Importance to all vessels propelled by
steam power. whether they are employ

country, representing 5000. 900 tons bur-
den would probably be burning oil for

German papers which are taking a
peculiar interest in American naval ar
tillery, say that the new guns on our
warships are superior 10 those on Ger
many's. but that our vessels are over
loaded. They think that, in action, the
guns will get In each others way. The
same comment was made at the time
Of the Spanish war, but experience at
Manila and Santiago taught that the
ships batteries, in the hands Of disci-
plined men. justified the numbers OF
+ their units. 1t must not be forgotten
that. In battle, guns are often dis
abled aboard ship, and that substitutes

upon the fact that the ship that fires

Volcanic restlessness still prevails.
The latest displays of force from be-
low are reported from the Azores and
from the province of Asturias In Spain.
Details are meagre from both these
seats OF disturbance. All we know OF
the trouble in the Azores is that a vol
canic cone at Fayal began throwing up
incandescent rock and that the inhab-
itants are terror stricken. Volcanic
upheavals OF terrible character have
occurred there at various times. Whole
towns have disappeared In opening
| chasms. and in 1911 an island emerged
suddenly from the deep and later dis
