PEOPLE WE KNOW

Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On one
subject skepticism is rapidly disappear
ing. This is due to the actual expert
ence of our citizens, and their public
utterances regarding them. The doubt
er must doubt no more in the face of
such evidence as this. The public state
ment of a reputable citizen living right
in Honolulu, one whom You can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.

the snow and ice from Mont Blanc's
