CABLE Is VISIBLE
ON OCEAN BOTTOM

Probably Uncle Sans coast defenses
about Honolulu will before long be
such as to minimize any danger of
cable-cutting at the shore end of the
electric strand that unites Hawaii with
the outer world. All the same, the
wonderfully translucent properties of
the ocean near Hawaii's reefs make
the Pacific cable more exposed than
many people may deem credible.
''I have seen the Pacific cable this
morning. one passenger said to an
other aboard the steamer Kinau on
approaching the harbor entrance Sat
urday forenoon.
What do you mean-a cablegram

mo, but the real Pacific cable lying
upon the bottom of the ocean,
Finding his statement received with
ed the sceptical one to Captain Free
man, who promptly verified the fact.
So clear is the water off shore that
the cable is visible where it curves in
from the ocean to round Diamond
Head, at depth of % fathoms or "a
bout 140 feet when the surface is COM
paratively smooth. Such remarkable
transparency of ocean water is known
only in a few parts of the world be-
sides the vicinity of Honolulu harbor.
1t is said that the wreck of the bark
entine William Carson, sunk by col
llision beyond Diamond Head four years
ago, may still be seen from the decks
!, of passing steamers.

County officials Question It's Con-
sttutiOOaIity,
WHERE ITS DEFECTS ARE.
westerveit Gives James an 0R-uand
opinion that WIN Doubtless Re
snIt In q Judicial Test

The new FISH and game law, passed
by the recent Legislature, and which
goes into effect today, contains several
sections against which constitutional
questions have been raised by County
Clerk James, which may result In the
law being declared null and void. The
principal question raised Is In regard
to the section which provides that the
owners Of private fish ponds shall Sc
cure license for the same from the
county clerk before selling or dlsposing
Of any Of the fish.
II viii be seen that the county clerk
Is authorized to issue said license but
the law In no way states the amount
the license shall be nor does II empower
anyone to fix the amount OF the liceDce
by law the clerk IL not authorized TO
fix the amount OF any license what
ever. He can collect a license when
the same has been fixed but cannot fix
the amount thereof Mr.. James has
submitted the matter TO County At
torney Weetervelt for an opinion on
the matter. The latter official, In an
offh9nd opinion, stated that he believed
the law TO be unconstitutional, as be-
ing class legislation He was clearly
OF the opinion that the part Of II called
to his attention by County Clerk James
was fatally defective, in that the
amount Of the license Is not fixed and
no one Is authorized to fix H. hence
Il will be Impossible TO carry out the
provisions of that section.

THE BIG SCHOOL CONCERT
The tabernacle Held Over -Four Thousand
People.
The school Cause VIII Clear Up over
Two Thousand Dollars From
The BENEFIT

Last night at the Tabernacle was an
occasion Of which good many people
In our community may well feel proud.
First the friends OF our school system.
who showed by that wholesale outpour-
ing how close to their hearts our
schools really lie. Second, the CONNER
ciai club, TO whom the credit for con-
ceiving and engineering the big concert
Is due. Third. Fisher Harris, who so
cleyerly handled the Commercial club
machinery 20 bring about the success,
and last. but by no means least. Prof.
Mcclellan, who brought together the
formidable array OF talent, without
which nothing at all could have been
achieved.
The audience was indeed beautiful
sight to gaze upon. OF course, concert
audiences at the Tabernacle-and sum-
mer audiences at that-do not pack
themselves together like congregations
on other occasions. Hence there
were the usual Wild oyerestimates
OF the attendance heard on all
hands. but certainly no Tabernacle
audience that has paid admission
since the old notable Eisteddfod enter
tainments, has looked anything like that
Of last evening. The estimates Of those
on the platform, who could gaze out on
that radiant sea OF upturned faces, ran
anywhere from 5000 to 5000. The actual
count up OF the tickets. as reported by
Mr.. Daynes, who assisted Fisher Harris,
today. is 1881. The great rush for seats
came az night Very few tickets COM
paratiyely were sold by the schools
themselves, which was a dlsappoint-
ment 10 Mr.. Harris. who had relied on
turning people away, STILL at 80 cents
each, the receipts can not fall below
1900. Mr.. Harris states that there
we're not more than $50 complimentary
tickets issued.
The program, barring Its length, was
IDEAL Very wisely. no encores were al
lowed. but even then IL was evident
that Mr.. Mcclellan had provided an en-
barrassment Of riches some Of the in
strumental numbers being unduly pro-
longed. but no one was In any mood 10
find fault. and from first to last ev-
erything was received with sweep Of
enthusiasm.
OF course, the keenest interest
attached 10 Miss Ramsey's appear
