TIE DANGER OF
snake IMPORTS

Editor Advertiser: In view of the
storm Of protests raised against the
attempted importation of snakes by the
owners of the Kaimuki Zoo, no man
who has the interests of these islands
at heart will make the attempt again.
There is no mistaking the will of the
people in this matter, and some con-
sideration should he had for the wishes
of the public. I have no doubt that
Mr.. Thompson of the Zoo would be
able, barring accidents, to prevent the
escape of snakes, also that Mr.. Gear
acted in good faith, believing that he
was acting within his rights, but ac-
cidents have happened before and it is
not beyond reason to think that an
accident might happen at the Zoo and
snakes confined there escape from
their cages. Again the Zoo might pass

WHO

Industrial Show at the
Kamehameha
Schools.

The industrial exhibit at the Kane
hameha School for Girls yesterday aft
ernoon was visited by throng of
friends of the institution. After view
ing the handiwork of the pupils the
guests repaired to the angle of lawn
in front of the main building and list
ened to an open air concert.
The industrial exhibition was a most
satisfactory one, and showed the many
ways in which the Hawaiian girls are
trained to a knowledge of household
tasks which are to come after they
finish their schooling. There was an
array of the most tempting cakes, pies
and other dainties. One table. was de-
voted to delicacies prepared for break
fast, lunch and dinner. There were
jars of jellies and many kinds of sweet
meats. All meals are prepared and all
homework is done by the girls.
In another corner the nature study
flowers grown under the supervision of
pupils. The drawing department in
dicated skill and proficiency in the uses
of paints.
But one of the most interesting ex-
hibits was the hospital department.
Here was shown a complete ward for
patients. A tray was shown with eata-
bles prepared in manner to tempt the
most feeble patient. There was a ia
BILE devoted to bandages, another to
used by trained nurses in
the care of patients. There were medi-
cine chests, a patients cot, tempera-
ture records, etc. Pupils attired as
nurses were present. The young ladies
are given the best of instruction in
this most needful knowledge, and
many a young Hawaiian girl, after
graduating from the school. has be-
come a teacher in an isolated place,
where her knowledge of medicines has
been most valuable to the natives

So DEFYING GRAVITY. eQ!
Seemingly Impossible Stunt Which
the Active Boy May Accomplish
with q Little Care.

No doubt you have often heard how
impossible 1t Is for a man to lift him.
self from the ground by pulling on
the strap of his boots. Other things
are supposed to be equally impossible,
one of them being to lift oneself BY
means Of a rope and pulley.
While this is perfectly true in the
case of straight pull, there Is a very
simple way to do it which you may
easily prove, to the establishment OF
your friends.
Throw a rope over the limb OF a
tree, and in one end Of the rope make
a strong loop large enough to hold
your foot Now, directs the Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune, you are to
pull yourself up. as the boy in The
picture is doing. You stand on The
ground with your left foot in the loop

from Mr.. Gears hands and another
keeper be employed who would not be
so careful to prevent their escape. The
incident shows that there should be
authority to prevent any and all snakes
from being imported. Mr.. BRYAN
modestly claims that he does not know
a poisonous snake from harmless one
and therefore will not allow any to
land, but Mr. Bryan's successor in this
official position might not be so modest
and allow the importation of poison
Gus snakes under the belief that they
were harmless. Anyone who has seen
reptiles of this kind as have in
Louisiana and other States of the
South will know how loathsome and
dangerous they are in their native
haunts. They are in the long grass
of the lawns. under the dwelling
houses and in the barns; they are in
the fresh water bathing places they
1nfest the cool running streams, and
make excursions into the forests
dangerous.
Hawaii is aptly called the Paradise
of the Pacific, but it will lose it's name
and much of it's charm if it ever be-
come infested with snakes.
BY all means authority should be
secured to prevent all Importation of
these reptiles into Hawaii

LIFTING THE FEET BY THE ROPE
of the rope and pull your best on the
other end of the rope, but, though you
feel a good deal of strain on your foot
in the loop, you don't stir. Now you
are doing exactly what is done by
the man who tries to lift himself over
the fence by pulling onhis boot straps.
By this time you are convinced that
there is a trick in it. Indeed, there
is, but so simple one that you will
have no trouble in performing it. Bear
your weight on the rope in your hands
and lift your legs, swinging them
upward from your hips. The result
will be that your feet will go up about
three feet from the ground, while the
rope in your hands will sink till your
head is on a level with your feet.
Now climb up the rope, hand over
hand" till your head is above your
feet and lift your feet as before, pull
ing on the rope at the same time.
You do not really pull yourself up
this way, but it looks so to the spec
tators You climb up the rope hand
over hand, and could do 1t just as
well without having your foot in the
loop at all, providing the rope were
fastened to the limb.

win Fight Rural Delivery.

A concerted movement against Tie

system in its present character has
been started by organizations OF bust

in these organizations will protest TO
Congress against the extension OF the
present system and will advocate its
curtailment along sweeping lines.
IL Is understood that the system has
never been pronouncedly popular with
