with suicidal intent. Her own infirmities

have from time to time discovered va
que hints and illusions in the works
of imaginative writer's, supposed to
foretell the inventions and discoveries
of the future, but no novelist ever more
than limited at the telegraph or the
telephone or the electric light or the
photograph, the steamship or the tur-
bine engine, the steam fire engine or
locomotive; none ever foretold the
wire-wound gun, the machine gun, the
repeating rifle the sewing machine, the
knitting machine, the photograph, the
typewriter, the steam printing press or
any other of the wonderful inventions
or discoveries by which the present age
is distinguished from all it's predeces-
sors.
The truth is that the imagination IS
really limited in scope, while the needs
and demands of men are infinite. A
need is felt, straightway great numbers
of men fall to work to discover or invent
something by which the need will be
filled. Men needed more rapid transit
facilities, SO applied steam to the bear
ing of burdens; they needed mort rapid
communication and invented the cleo
trical appliances in order to secure it;
they needed to have their work done
more rapidly so made steel arms and
fingers that would never tire. They
needed more accurate sketching than
could be done with pencil and paper, so
compelled the sun to make their pic
lures They needed surer means of de-
stroying their enemies. so invented ex-
plosives more terrible than any before
known together with shells, torpedoes
and mines to make those explosives
more effective. 1t is impossible to
foretel to what extent the wants of
! men will develop or what direction
their needs viii take, so it is impossible
for the imagination to transcend the
limits of fact, and thus il is that truth
is stranger than fiction-St. Louis

No FENCE
At TRACK
Racing Course Now
Part of New Park
System.

The old race track at Kapiolani PARK
is feeling the march of progress. for in
recent weeks the old white-washed
board fence, surrounding at least half
the track, has been taken down and
its site is now marked by young trees
which are designed to border the old
track.
The latter is becoming a popular
driveway, or speedway, for it is most
Nv those who have fast horses who Ven
ture upon it, and many q pretty brush
is to be seen late in afternoons.
Only the great implanted grand
stand remains in its old place. The
surrounding grounds have been clear
ed up of rubbish, lawns are being ex-
tended to the edge of the track, and
gradually the entire stretch OF park
land is succumbing to tae attacks of
the Landscape gardener.
The strip of land between the main
Waikiki roadway fronting the beach
residences and the Rapid Transit
track is dotted with fourishing shrubs
and walks and is assuming an attrac-
tive appearance.
The waterways in the park are again
filling up with green scum and there
is need of another cleaning up in that
department.
