ANIMAL STOWAWAYS,
Destitute Aliens That Reach the United
States in the Banana ships.


New York has for many years re.
ccived numbers of destitute aliens OF
the animal world from the holds Of the
banana ships. The trade in bananas
is an enormous one. and many of them
come from sources ut no great dis.
tance. whence the fruit can he brough,
without cold storage. The big clusters
of bananas are peculiarly adapted foi
harDOr.ng "stOwaways." Among these
are enumerated numbers of small
harmless snakes lizards of various
kinds, occasionally. it is said youn.
iguana and large and particularly ven.
omous spiders. But real pests which
survive and increase in new countri
are, fortunately, rarely transported ac.
cidcntally. The one serious instance Is
the chigO or "jigger' 1t is said tc

America to the East Indies. The Col

foreign grain and have established
themselves.
Bird "stewaways" on ships are very
numerous in the narrow parts of the
Mediterranean during the migration
They also frequently alight on ships
when these are near the coast, being
then very much exhausted and glad to
find n rest for the solcs of their feet. :"
Golden-crcsted wrens sometimes de.

as "stowaways" on the backs of larger
ones was held in reference TO the Can.

alleged the same OF the crane and

great distances on ships crossing the
Atlantic seems very probable. The

These are the butter boys who &c

is running or making change.
The plate contains about fifty OF

TRAR's OFFICE ARE BICEPHAL-
OU$ TO HEAD OFF A HIATUS IF
COUNTY ACT is KNOCKED OUT.

Though the county act has been
theoretically in effect for some days,
Oahu has only a sort of halfway coun-
ty administration. The transition
period" promises to last some time,
partly because elected officials are slow
in qualifying and partly because the
Territory is not altogether letting go
when they do qualify. Territorial re-
presentatives are keeping a partial hold
Of some Of the transferred departments
so that there need be no interim if the
whole county scheme suddenly col
lapses.
Besides the board of supervisors, Dis
Itrict Attorney Rawlins and County
Clerk Murray were the first to qualify
and they have both been in office since
Monday, attending the meetings of the
board, according to the provisions of
the law. High Sheriff A. NJ. Brown,
as a county officer did not have to do
anything different from what he has
been doing all the time, as far as this
island is concerned. Up to last night
the only others duly qualified were An
drew Brown as country water works
superintendent, Henry Vida as road
supervisor and Judge Hookana as dis
trict magistrate of Eva. The judge
didn't lose any time in making him
self a county magistrate. Vida took
charge of the road department Tues
day.
Auditor Sherwood is i'll in bed and
may not be able to qualify for some
time. Other qualifications are being
made as fast as those concerned can
arrange their various bonds, after re-
ceiving appointments.
Attorney Rawlins will not appoint his
assistants and deputy until the Su-
preme court decides as to the validity
of the county act. The Territorial At
torney Generals department will there
fore keep on with the criminal calen-
dar in Judge Robinson's court, just as
though there was no county act, so
that the act Is only half in force as to
the attorneys office. Rawlns puts in
all his time with the supervisors, who
very frequently call upon fim for
opinions. BY leaving the deputy's and
assistants office vacant, their salaries
, will be saved in the event that the act
is knocked out.

If the act is knocked out the bureau

Irangement between him and county
clerk so that If the county act is
/ knocked out there will still have been

trar who can certify to the record OF
instruments during this transition
period.

J lrangement with Assessor Iaukea. The
latter will maintain a Territorial re-
cord for the benefit of the treasurer
