RUMOR THAT CHINESE
ARE GOING TO Leave

There is rumor that many Chinese
now in the Territory are preparing to
emigrate to Mazatlan, Mexico, and
Dutch Guiana. Specially low rates are
offered al Celestials desirous of going
to these places and, according to
Chinese who ought to know, the in
ducements offered have proved effect
ual. A few have gone to Mazatlan for
good, and one at least has gone to the
Atlantic coast of South America to size
up the prospects for Chinese there.
All Pat, a Chinese tailor, who is
thought by his ellow-countrymen to
have learned something by contact with
whites, admitted that many Chinese
We're onsidering this move. But he re-
fused to have anything to say about
it, except that he understood that the
Americans were unduly curious as to
what Chinese in the Territory did. At
this point At Pat s English failed him
and he betook himself to bowl of
rice

| Cotton Bros, the contractors, are be
| tract for making the improvements al
| Quarantine Island, which will cause
| that up-todate portion of the Marine
| Hospital Service to become one of the
| most complete stations in the United
States.
So far no official confirmation has
been received that the bid has been
awarded to Cotton Bros, but Mr.. Can
ton, the contractor s representative in
Honolulu, received cablegram on Sat
urday evening from the headquarters
which he infers that the plum has
fallen into their hands. Inasmueh as
the contract, if awarded to Cotton
Bros, will be signed up in San Fran
cisco, such information would reach
Honolulu later on.
In general, the contract for improv-
ing Quarantine Island calls for the
building of concrete wall entirely
around the island, three feet in height
above the coral footing. The wall
would give the island some prominence
above sea-level. At present its sand
shores are washed with the tides, and
harbor debris is constantly piling up.
The concrete wall would keep this out,
also prevent the island from wearing
off. The portion within the wall will
be filed up, so that it will be dry at
all times.
The contract will also call for the
building of concrete piers for the long
approach from the wharf in the har-
Dor, running back to the island direct
Iy before the administration building.
A fine wharf is to be built over the
piers. large wharf will be built at
the harbor end which will be equal to
all demands of the station. In time a
house will be built thereon, in which
will be installed fumigat1ng and other
quarantine equipment.
The contract is valuable one, ana
with the large Federal appropriation
Dor and deepening and widening the
pended in erecting the Federal immi-
grafton station, Uncle Sam is certainly
doing much to improve the condition
of Honolulu harbor. The Territory is
also working on different portions of
the waterfront, expendiPg several hun=
dred thousand dollars.
1t is said that the War Department |
has had it's eve on Quarantine Island |
for some time, it being considered a |
splendid position for the establishment |
of heavy water batteries. However, it |
is understood that the Marine Hospital
Service has no fear of being disturbed
in it's possession of the little islet.
DIR. Cofer, chief of the quarantine
service here, has NOT heard officially
that Cotton Bros. have been given the
contract for the work, but he, too, has
heard of the matter unofficially.

water which swept and pounded the
decks found its way down. At times
the seas almost took the men over
board. The man at the wheel had to
be 1ashed there. The pump valves
We're found all right, but the pumps
brought UP no water. How the vessel
lived at that time is one of the un-
explainable mysteries.
PRovIsIoNED SMALL BOAT.
For safety, I had the small boat
provisioned and water casks put in and
1ashed. This was done for any emer-
gency that might arise. Candidly,
believed our time had about come. The
vessel was scudding at a terrific rate
under bare poles, not a stitch of cam
vas on the masts. We had a gaff
aboard and that was rammed down in
to the pumps, and then up came water
sending out pieces of coal and other
debris.
BULwARKs KNOCKED OUT.
About this time I poured oil over
the side to ease off the sea, but even
then the decks We're swept SO contin-
ually that I was compelled to knock
out the bulwarks to relieve the decks
from water as it was working down
below. We ran this way for five days
during which time we did not see sun,
moon or stars. I had not more than
five hours sleep in that whole time.

GOVERNOR AND TIE
SHERIFF SHAKE HANDS

Governor Carter and Sheriff Brown
are reported to have shaken hands on
Saturday at the polo meet. The two
officials were standing near each other
and happened to come face to face,
while among a crowd of mutual friends
The Governor extended his hand to the
Sheriff and both shook, passing some
pleasant remarks during the operation
A policeman, who consulted his
watch at that moment and found that
it was then 2:30. looked at his watch
again a couple of hours later and saw
that the hands had stopped at 2:30-
He is said to have consulted kahuna
to unravel the mystery.

QUICK TRIP TO LAYSAN.
Captain Harris was seen by an Ad-
vertiser man at his home in Kalihi last
evening He told the story of the
cruise, giving plain facts. shorn of
romantic embellishments, but the facts
alone show that the Woodbury. passed
through q strange experience. Captain
Harris story is about as follows:
I'VE left Honolulu on July 1 and
had very nice trip down to Laysan,
making the trip in a little over four
days, covering s10 miles in that time.
CAPTAIN Weisbarth in the Lavinia left
herfe four days ahead of me, but beat
him to Laysan by four days. We load
ed in $50 short tons of guano and pre-
pared for the return trip. That cargo
is heavy for the Woodbury.. but had
reason to believe she would carry it
all right, depending on good weather,
which we should have had at this sea-
son of the year. The Lavinia. and
Woodbury. left at the same time, July
13, that date perhaps being something
of a hoodoo to start with. Max Schlem-
mer was a passenger on my boat.

VARIOUS PHYSICAL EXERCISES

Gardening is excellent for the upper
and lower limbs provided, of course,
that the work includes the honest use
of the spade. The term gardening" is,
however, rather vague. Cutting flow
ers and similar hirtations with nature
may enable one to take pure air, but
they are not to be regarded as forms of
exercise.
Downright hard gardening needs al
ways a corrective. 1t tends to make
one stoop. It is not the sort of thing
one would recommend for developing
the figure. Military drilling or the use
of the dumbbells viii correct the stoop-
ing tendency.
Rowing is unexcelled for the arms
and upper part of the trunk. 1t is one
of the best exercises known when it is
carried out with regularity and energy
of stroke.
Let exercises be mixed. Tennis.
hockey. golf, rowing, walking, spade
using, etc, will build up a far better
physique than any one singly. One ex-
ercise tends to correct the faults of
carriage brought about by another.
Brisk walking helps the entire body.

THE GIRL WHO SUCCEEDS.

The girl who succeeds is the girl who
works on the theory that what is worth
doing at all is worth doing we'll
She puts as much earnest endeavor
into the small tasks as the large ones.
She does not spend her time looking
forward to the end of the day when
work will be finished, nor does she drop
everything the instant the clock strikes
the hour Of freedom.
You do not find the successful girl
rushing to her place the last minute;
she gets there in time to settle down a
bit before the days work begins.
Punctuality is the keynote to success,
and she knows it.
She realizes the value of dress and
dresses as well as her income will al
low
Health is necessary to success, and,
realizing this, she takes as much ex-
ercise as possible, keeps reasonable
hours and sleeps with her window open
the year round.
She is not easily disheartened and
does not feel if things go wrong for a
day or two that her career is a failure.
Lastly she is pleasant in her manner
to outsiders. And there you have in a.
nutshell the secret of the successful
girl.

Women Members Of State Boards
DR.. Almah J. Frisby

At one of its annual meetings the
"a National Conference of Chart
"A ties and Corrections adopted
resolutions recommending that
women be appointed members of man
aging and advisory boards of charitable
and penal institutions, hospitals, state
reform schools and other special
schools and Of all public establish
ments where the housing, feeding.
clothing and nursing of numbers of
persons were demanded. In the con-
ference suggestions it was mentioned
that wherever the cooperation of wo-
men had been tried in the mana cement
OF such institutions the results had
been highly satisfactory. This state
ment was made:
Numerous public institutions, justly
regarded as models, including orphan
asylums, general hospitals and hOspi-
tails for the insane have their internal
and financial affairs managed wholly
by women"
The conference further recorded its
Judgment that the failure of the states
to avail themselves in the management
OF public institutions of woman's SUI
perior knowledge of domestic economy
entails a pecuniary loss as well as an
imperfect administration of affairs.
The conference then clinched it's rec
concentrations by the following two
statements:
ITO deprive women suffering either
from mental or bodily disease in public
institutions of the benefits accruing
from having their sex represented in
the board of management is an AFRO
CANT assumption of power often re-
sulting in unintentionaI cruelty.
ttrT0 dnr1rfvya children Of counsel Fasad
on a mothers experience and of that
faithful interest which comes from
the motherly instinct by placing them
in Institutions under the sole manage
ment of men is not only unnatural.
but is a wrong from which sooner or
later society must directly or indirect
~ suffer"
The recommendations Of the national
conference of charities and corrections
drew general attention to the so to
speak one legged management Of pub
lie and state institutions, even those
in which women and girls are forcibly
detained There soon began to be a
sprinkIing Of the feminine sex on state
boards of charities and corrections as
well as on the managing committees OF
hospitals and special schools. Some OF
the chief officers inside such institu-
lions are now women of broad and high
culture.
A notable appointment recently made
is that of DR.. Almah J. Frisby of Mil
Waukee to be member of the Wis
cOnsin- state board OF control. This
admirable appointment was made by
the governor after the state legislature
had calamity ordered the board of con
troll to be reorganized so that Dr. FRS
by might be made a member of it.
DR. Frisby has been an active medical
practitioner in Milwaukee for a mum
Der of years. Early in her career she
became warmly interested in hygienic
and sanitary science and studied til
she became an authority on these sub

determine hea1thful conditions, occu-
pations proper care and education of
women and girls in state institutions.
Economic use of materials is one of
the most important matters in public
Institutions, and this the doctor thinks
should be under the especial super
vision of woman, the natural econo-
mist.
DR. Frisby, while instructor in the
department of domestic science in the
University of Wisconsin. took particu-
lar interest in promoting courses of
study adapted to the training of per-
sons who are to have charge of the
food, housing and sanitary conditions
of hospitals and state Institutions.
She has had wide training and ex-
perience. After being graduated from
Wisconsin university she went to the
Boston University Medical school,
where she obtained the degree Of M. D.
After that she practiced her profession
awhile in Milwaukee, but left in 1885
to become resident physician in a
Philadelphia Women's hospital. Dur
ing the summer of 1883 she was ply
sician at a large hotel in the Catski1l
mountains. Then she went back to
Milwaukee and resumed medical prac-
tice there. But she was soon called to
a professorship in the State university.

third time to open an Office as medical

clothes. How stupid life is! I wish
something would happen.
But gracious me!'' said her friend,
you've got to do something yourself
if you want to get any happiness out
of life Why don't you try to do some
thing for other people2'
Mrs. Mortal yawned even more
widely. Il amt a-gOin' to wear my
self out doing for other people," she
replied Other people don't do any
thing for me-
Mrs. Mortal was too lazy to learn
to speak correct English. She slept or
dozed in the morning till 10 o'clock,
then had a heavy breakfast and
dawdled through the hours till lunch
con. In the afternoon she went to
drive over the same roads she had
traversed a thousand times, then came
home, had a heavy dinner and gem
orally went to bed after it. The trou-
bic with Mrs. Mortal is that the
brains were left out, or she probably
had small portion, but was too in
dolent to use them. The worst of it is
there are thousands of Mrs. Mortials
in this country.
Loneliness and emptiness of life
come from stupidity or lack of men,
tai development. One type of woman
finds her life lonely and empty unless
she is galloping necessarily ''nither and
yon." Sometimes she gallops to gather
gossip. again it is her restless, self
tormenting vanity that hustles her
around to hear herself praised and
made over" She calls it being ap-
preciated."
There I'm somebody; there I'm un-
derstood." she says after having been
to some place where a particularly
strong dose of fattery has been adj
ministered.
The woman of brains has always re-
sources within herself. It is the absc-
lutte test of intellectual power to be
able to be happy alone a considerable
portion of the time. She who cannot
do this is like a child whose brains are
not yet grown. JANE MOSES.
