A GRUESoME FIND.
In the work of excavation for the
widening OF the street at the corner of
Amaula and Bridge streets, Puueo, the
workmen unearthed several we'll pre-
served skeletons Friday morning of last
week. There We're three in number and
judging from the size of the skulls and
development of the bones, they were
believed to be the remains of a woman,
a man and boy. Each of the frames
were found in a sitting posture, buried
about four feet deep and some distance
removed from each other. From their
decayed condition the bodie. must have
been buried many years ago. The old
est inhabtant does not recall that this
spot was ever used as a burial place or
graveyard, although it is stated by old
residents that the natives had q COM
mon practice of burying their dead at
their very doorsteps. This may eX-
plain their presence here. for there is
an old Hawaiian burial ground on the
hill above Puueo. which, since the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary, has been used by the natives as
the last resting place for their dead.
The discovery caused considerable eX-
element at the time in that part of
town.

Regarding the construction of the
railroad j. C. Mocine, man
ager of the Hilo Electric Light Co., says
the only motive power to use satisfac-
torily is electricity. This is being
adopted by many of the greatest of the
transportation lines in the East and II
Is estimated that within three years
electricity will be used on all roads
within a radius of fifty miles of New
York. There is power going to waste
every day in our works." said Mr.. M.
cine. land enough can be developed to
carry all the passenger and freight
traffic that will be required from here
to Kohala without having any auxiliary
plant. 1t would require an addition 10
our plant of machirery but the power
would be there 1t mas been demon
strated that electricity is more eco
as motive power than either oil
or coal and the drawing power Is Just
as great"
