GUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle With CofYee,

There is something fairly deInonIn.

its fiendish malice on those who use 1t.
A lady writing from Calf. says:
"My husband and |, both lovers OF
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head.

eventually developed some sort of af

spine to the head.

straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side. causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as to
what caused the trouble, till friend

drank had something to do with 1t. and
advised that we quit 1t and try Pos.

I'VE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in a
very short time both OF us were Ell

steady once more. the headaches
c.ased, the muscles in the back Of my
neck relaxed. my head Strengthened
up and the dreadful pain that had so
punished me while used the old kind
Of coffee vanished.
I'VE have never resumed the use Of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum

Fish Report by Telephone.

An English paper reports that
Norwegian has invented telephone
by which the noise made by fish IL
the depths of the sea can be heard
The instrument consists OF a micro
phone in Theoretically sealed steel
box. 1t is connected with telephone
on shipboard by electric wires, each
sound in the water being intensified
by the microphone. The inventor as
serts that with its aid the presence OF
fish, and approximately their number
and kind, can be recognized. When
herrings or smaller fish are encoun
tered in large numbers they make o
whistling noise and the sound made
by Goldfish is more like bowling. II
they come near the submarine tele
phone their motion can be distinguish
ed. The flow of water through the
gills produces noise similar to the
labored breathing Of quadruped and
the motion Of the fms produces a dull
rolling sound Richard, Guenther, con-

VISIT OF THE
TAFT PARTY
A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE SHORT
STAY IN HONOLULU OF THE
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

The Taft party has come and gone
and Honolulu has settled down once
more to the even tenor of her way.
Now that the visit is all over the peo-
pie of this city and indeed of the ISL
ands generally may we'll congratulate
themselves on the thorough success or
the whole event. The visitors were far
and away the most important body of
people that ever came to Hawaii and
it was but fitting that their presence
here should be marked with an unusual
demonstration so that it will be
source of general qualification to every
one to know that the different members
of the aft party vie with one another
in their expressions Of appreciation for
what Honolulu had done to make their
brief stay pleasant.
From the strictly commercial stand
point of course the question arises at
once as to what material advantages
Hawaiian can expect from the pass
ing through Of the distinguished peo-
pie who We're with us yesterday and
it is safe to say that even this some
what sordid but very material view
point will be satisfied. There were
seven United States Senators and
| twenty-five congressman, with their
friends on the party. There was the
Secretary of War; who happens to be
next in the order of aspiration for the
! presidency and last but not least, there
was Miss Alice Roosevelt, the bright
and charming daughter of the Chief
/ Executive of the Republic. But few

summoned up no picture to their ina

is sturdy, busting American commu-
nifty set here at the crossroads of tho
Pacific is present with every one of
| those so recently our guests.
While in the very brief stay here

visitors could pick up any very COM
