MYSTERIOUS ISLANDS
OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN

For almost a century the books of the
harbormasters at Honolulu have borne
various entries about islands, reported
by whalernen in the part of the Pa
ciffc Ocean lying between the meridians
of 1873 and 1873 degrees of longitude west,
and the fifteenth and twentieth paral-
lels ofsatitude north, almost directly
in the line between Hilo and Panama.
But from 1927 to the cruise of the
United States steamship Tacoma last
fall, there has been no authoritative
late as one in March, 1902, by Captain
Lawless. of the Australia, then run
ring to Tahiti. The islands in this
midocean and most remote tract, still
are fabulous, charted only IN the faint
est of characters, and marked With a
app following the date it was reported
the evidence that there are islands in
this region, or, as Professor George
Davidson of the University of CaIifor-
MIA has put it. some danger to navi-
cation" is held by many to be so strong
that, all adverse reports to the con-
trary, it is still believed that some
where within the two hundred miles
square of the doubtful region there lie
islands, and that on these bearded men,
forty years given up for lost, still move.

In the National Geogra phical Maya

shadowy isles. has written a short his
tory of the information gathered within
a century by seafarers of all nations

of land are called. Mr.. Hague also
lays special stress on the possibility

The Magic Powder,

Editor Advertiser: While the report
in your paper of the fire exhibition
Saturday noon is true, all the facts are
not stated Therefore it would lead
the public to believe that the magic fire
powder was a failure, which is not the
case.
The three brave little girls who sue
cessfully put out their fires deserve
credit, but owing to the fact that the
blow-gun failed to work. besides some
kind-hearted spectator having relieved
US of four extra tubes, we decided to
let the building burn down, and made
10 attempt 10 put the fire out, there
fore the fire-powder cannot he con-
demned
Another public test will be given
some evening soon. Notice Will be

THE PARKER CASE.
PROHIBITION ENDS

In an opinion of the Supreme Court
written by Chief Justice Frear, joined
in by Justice Hatch and Circuit Judge
De Bolt sitting in place of Justice
Hartwell, the petition for a permanent
writ of prohibition against Judge Gear
is denied and the temporary writ is
dissolved, in the matter of the guardi-
anship of Annie T. K. Parker, a minor,
toner and the writ desired was to pro-
hfbit Judge Gear of the First Circuit
Court and ]. S. Low, petitioner for re-
moving the guardian, from proceeding
with an injunction to restrain the
guardian from going on with a suit in
partition he brought in the Third Cir
cult Court against Samuel Parker,
Fred. Wundenberg and E. P. Low,
which involved the property of the
minor.
The court reviews the different mat
ters of litigation, showing that the
guardianship matter was under juris
diction of the First Circuit Court in
probate for many years, that the petit
ton for removal of the guardian was
filed June s, 1904. by ]. S. Low as next
friend of the minor, that the partition
suit was started the following day and
that an amended petition by Low, filed
on July q. gave as additional reason
for the guardians removal his suit for
partition. It is held that there might
be various instances in which one
court of equity could enjoin proceed
ngs in another such as to prevent
multiplicity of quits and in this mat
ter for example. to prevent unneces-
sary expense TO a party in interest.
IF these proceedings should result
In the removal Of the guardian" the
court says, large costs might I'M
necessarily be incurred against the
wards property in the partition pro-
ceedings, if the latter should be al
lowed to proceed during the tendency
OF the removal proceedings"
In another place the court asks: rs
rot appeal to test the correctness or
propriety of the order the proper
remedy rather than prohibition or some |
other remedy based on the theory that |
the order is absolutely void?"

revel in an Italian sun, lighting up
semi.tropical land; to'look up to white

look down upon wind.swept plains en-

and to realize that today, in its varied
scenery, costumes, architecture, street life
canals crowded with fower.laden boats,
market plazas thronged with gayly

When to Exercise

When to exercise is an importa
consideration. If the morning only is
available the exercise should be light.
Particularly is this the ease If one Is
engaged in any work. The supply Of
energy must not be drawn from at the
beginning of the day. The afternoon
is perhaps the best time for exercise.
W hen one has gained strength from
the absorption of the morning and
noon meals. Those who exercise Wig
orously at night should eat mid
day dinner. Exercise should always
preccde bathing. and not. as a rule. fol
low it. In this respect the ancient
Greeks showed great wisdom. EXer-
else and bathing they called the two
pillars of strength. Exercise was Her
cules and bathing Apollo. Both were
regarded with equal Importance. and
neither was complete without the
other.
