ed by DR.. Bell while in Honolulu In
sures large audience tonight and
then the lecture itself is one Of excep-
tional interest to all sorts and condi-
tions OF men and women. II deals with
subjects OF vital Importance to the hap

throws much valuable light on tho
marital problem.
At the close of the lecture twelve

WEEKLY CROP AND
WEAIH[R REPORT
Local Office. Weather Bureau,
Honolulu, T. H., October 8, 1905.
GENERAL SUMMARY,

Seasonable temperatures have pre-.
vailed during the past week in most
sections; and although the weather has
continued unsettled, considerably less
rain has fallen than during the preced.
ing week. In Hawaii and Maui, the
precipitation has been confined chief.
ly to windward districts: in Oahu,
abundant showers have fallen over the
central plateau; in Kauai, heavy rain
occurred in the Puma district at the
beginnings of the week. in all other
portions OF the Group. comparatively
dry weather has obtained since last ad.
vices.
Conditions have been generally fa.
vorable for growing cane. and on ac.
count Of the diminished rainfall have
improved considerably In windwari
districts so far as field work in the
plantations is concerned. In the Kau
district of Hawaii, young cane is again
being set back by dry weather and &C.
companying high winds. Cane is also
in need of rain in southern Kauai.
Ae"'ihS ''i 'hN low Nuht 'lop N6o

Maui. Pineapple plants are doing nice.
ly in all sections, and some advanced
fruit of the winter crop Is beginning
10 show signs of approaching maturity
In central Maui. Coffee Is ripening fast
and picking is progressing rapidly in
both windward and leeward Hawaii; in
windward Oahu, however, very dry con.
ditions have entirely checked the ripen.
ing of the berries. Pastures need rain
In the Kau district of Hawaii and por.
tions OF Kauai, but elsewhere are in
good condition. Sisal and second crop
rice are doing nicely. Young rubber
trees in the Nahiku section of Maui are
growing rapidly, but the ground is still
very wet and conditions are therefore
rather unfavorable for field work.

Tho Duck and tho Orator.

Tom Watson's Magazine for July:
Some day. my child. 1 will take you
out into the wide, green country and
show you a young Picking duck. He is
an active little tyke, is the Picking
duckling, even when he doesn't date
back further than day before yester-
day. When 1t comes to swimming he is
a sight-reader. and he is more destruc-
tive to tender grass than a young
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. But unfortunately he
Is so constructed and fiat of back that
IL by any chance he gets turned wrong
side up he cannot turn owe again un-
aided; and unless help comes he lies
there and paddles the air with his lit
tie feet until he fans himself to death.
He Is cheerful about it, though, and
makes no cutlery. apparently thinking
that because his legs are working he
is swimming along according to Hoyle.
My child. q little luck on his back
and the average a~fter-dinner orator on
his feet are both deserving OF the
sympathy which we should be ever
ready to bestow on the unfortunate.
and therefore we should sign all petit
tons that are presented to us looking
to the establishment of a commission
to turn little ducks over and loqua-
ctous gentlemen doSn, in the hope
that IL they are prevented from pad
ding they may be of some use here
after.

THOUSANDS OF cHAUFFEURs.
New York State Has More Than 10000
Euzz Cars.

According to reliable reports there are
something like 20, 900 automobiles in use
on the roads Of New York state, While
the records on file at the office of the
secretary of state show 5000 profession
al motorists registered under the re-
quirenlents Of the motor vehicle law.
This indicates a tremendous growth OF
autolnobiling in the empire state, for in
1901, which is the first veal that auto
mobiles required registration, there
were only 1900 machines owned and OPP
Grated in the state.
Although not all registered machines
are owned by persons residing in New
York, at least Is per cen Of them can
be SO rated. OF course, some motorists
own two and three machines. Colonel
John Jacob Astor heads the list of indi-
viduals with twenty-five of various
at Albany.
Next to him w. X. Vanderbilt,
jr., who is credited with fourteen. The
largest owners are the great depart
ment stores and mercantile establish
ments which operate their delivery sys-
tenn by this means. The largest single
owner is a big express company, which
owns thirty-two delivery trucks To-
Gated in New York and Rochester.
The system by which the state keeps
track Of every automobile owned by
one of it's residents requires such own
ers to file with the secretary Of state
his name and address, with a brief de-
scription OF the vehicle, including the
name of the maker, factory number,
style and motive power. Since the law
went into effect. nearly four ear ago.
between 5000 and 16. 900 machines have
been registered. Among these. however,
are many which have worn out and
gone to the scrap heap. Since the law
has been in force only four years, how
ever, and the average automobile is
built to last considerably longer, it is
not likely that the figures would re-
quire much reduction for this reason.
The first automobile owner regis
tered on April rs. 1901. The total num-
Der to March \. this year, was 1854.
The increase has proceeded al a re-
markable rate. At the end Of the first
year the record showed only 1920 We
hicles owned and operated in the state.
A year later, March l, 1903. the number
was 2,0S7. A year g the number had
increased to 9,035. and over 5000 ma
chimes were added to the list between
March !, 1904 and 1905.
