age; two philosophers. one pompous
trimmer and two gamblers; the young
er and more daring of whom was now
calmly threading the streets of Lon
don on his way to a meeting which
might mean much to him.
All those at the board looked with
some intentness at the figure of the
young man from the North, who came
as the guest of Montague. With small
formality, the. latter rose and advanced
to meet Law with an eager grasp OF
the hand. He made him known to the
others present promptly, but with
half apology.
Gentlemen" said he, Il have made
bold to ask the presence with us of
young man who has much concerned
himself with problems such as those
which we have now in hand. Sir Isaac
Newton, this is Mr.. Law of Edinboro'.
Mr.. Law, the fame OF John Locke
deed not lay before you, and of my
Lord Somers you need no advice. Mr.
Law, | shall pray you to be seated.
Il shall but serve as your mouth
piece to the court, gentlemen" re-
sumed Montague, seating himself and
turning at once to the business of the
day. I'VE are all agreed as to the
urgency of the case. The king needs
behind him in these times a contented
people. You have already seen the inn
minence of a popular discomfort which
may shake the throne of England, none
too safe in these days of change. That
we must, reorganize the coinage is un-
and agreed. The question is,
how best to do this without further I'M
settling the times" One after another,
he called upon each of those present
for suggestions, leaving John Law to
the test.
"Mr. Law said Montague, "by your
cave and by the leave Of these gentle

THE BRIGHT SIDE

Of life. 1t is a feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless. things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like

sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and

are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them,

inches. The wood block pavement has
proved an unqualified success on the
Sorenson wharf.
The sheus will be 60xis0 feet with q
margin of 90 feet between the shed
wall and slip strlnger. There is q
possibility that the sheds may be two
stories in height for letting passengers
off from high deck vessels to second
story landings. The two-story struc-
lures will also facilitate the discharge
of freight from the giant passenger
vessels.
The street and harbor ends of the
sheds will partake of the general APP
pearance OF the new Oceanic wharf
sheds, and will be constructed entirely
of wood.
1t is proposed to dredge out 10000
cubic yards OF material from the new
slip. This will include sand, hard and
soft coral, loose coral and mud.
The new docks erected parallel to
the naval docks will give the harbor at
that end uniform appearance.

BIDS FOR

To Be Called for

Of August.
tFrom Wednesdays Advertiser.)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Next month important public works
plans relating to the construction OF
the new Alakea dock and slip for Pa
cifc Mail and other big steamships,
will be put in motion and the sum
of nearly 100000, appropriated by the
last legislature to come out of the loan
fund, will be expended on the work.
Bids for tenders for dredging
will be advertised for in Au-
gust. and year from that time,
Superintendent of Public Works Hollo-
way, hopes to have the dock and slip
completed and a second dock partially
So The construction of the new DOCKS
will be one of the most important mat
tiers done by the Public Works De-
partment as the new wharves will give
berth room for such big steamers as
the Mongolia, Manchuria, Siberia,
Korea. or even Jim Hills big steam
ships of the Minnesota type.
THE opening of the Panama Canal
will undoubtedly bring big Atlantic
steamships this way" said Supern-
tendent Holloway yesterday, land we
must be prepared to accommodate
them both in the channel and at our
docks"
The plans being worked out in the
office of Assistant Superintendent
Howland, show that the brick machine
shop and warehouse facing the Fish
market will be razed. The street run
ming parallel to the Esplanade and
passing the Fishmarket will be WIDEN
ed 40 feet, making it 100 feet in width.
The new wharf would adjoin the naval
dock and it's dimensions would be
S0x510 feet.
The end of the dock would be flush
with the end of the naval dock. Next
would come slip 200 feet wide. The
next wharf, No. 2, which would be
Eva of the present lower end of Ala
kea street, is proposed to be 120x6lO
feet In length, extending 100 feet fur
ther into the harbor than wharf No. i.
This will bring the end in line with the
end of the Wilder's 'Kinau' wharf.
This long dock will give room for the
longest vessels proposed to come to
this harbor. By making wharf No. i,
only $40 feet in length gives ample
room for vessels entering and leaving
the harbor plenty of maneuvering
room.
One important feature in connection
with the dredging is that the slip and
waters of entrance will have an aver
age depth of "a feet below mean tide.
The whole project involves the oblit-
Grafton of Alakea street below Allen
street, and of the Esplanade as for
Eva as Wilder's "Kinau" wharf. The
old Pacific Mail shed, of course, comes
down, The ends of the new docks and
slip will abut on Allen street
For each dock a retaining wall Is
to be constructed of cement and con-
crete in an oblong form, surrounding
present soil. Each dock will be con-
structed of heavier materials than any
other along the harbor front. Double
tenders will guard the ends, and the
pavements will be wood blocks. 3X4XS
