W. A. Carter, Fred Madden and
Chas. Crocker have just returned from
a 1900 mile drive through Beaver
county where they have been listing
school lands. They think il great
country and much better for farming
than the reputation it bears. The
land is fast being homesteaded and
settled upon.
Owing TO the general scarcity OF
farming land to be had for the taking
in the West, Beaver county land is be-
coming aluable.-Guthrie Register.

PICKERING IN HAWAII.

Professor Pickering, the Harvard as
tronomer, just returned from the sand
witch Islands. says the Hawaiian vol
canoes seemed like old friends to him
because of their close likeness to those
he has been used to study in the moon.
He has a theory that in early times
big continental mass, of which Hawaii
was the core, fetched loose from earth,
and sailing out into space, rolled in
to shape and became the moon. So
he sees in the moons volcanoes the
long-lost brothers of the volcanoes in
Hawaii. The hole the moon mass left
is now known as the Pacific Ocean.
The theory is interesting, seems rea-
and will no doubt be welcom-
ed by persons who believe that what
has happened may happen again, and
that the need of another moon may
some time clean up the Pacific and
relieve Congress of the care of the
lippines.-HaTper' Weekly.

BUILDING
General Activity in
Erecting Fine
Homes.

| There is considerable activity in
building circles especially with private
| residences. Many alterations are be-
| ing made to the old Schmidt home on
| Pensacola street, recently. purchased
| by Mrs. Samuel Parker for her daugh-
ter Mrs. Walter Macfarlane. Among
other improvements is the addition of
lanai which is being built on the
front side of the residence. 1t will be
very commodious affair. and sug-
gests that there will be considerable
social activity there.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank B.
McStocker on Lunalilo street, Waikiki
of the Lowrey residence, is one of the
most valuable additions to Makiki. The
residence will be completed in about
a month. 1t is a home especially de-
signed for Honolulu's climate, with
broad verandas. 1t has high eleva
ton and commands a sweep of the
ocean. It has been built in ready-made
grounds, filed with fruit trees and
other choice shrubbery. The home is
also suitable for entertaining on
large scale.
Mr.. Frank Howard who bought the
Gilman home on Keeaumoku street, is
removing the old dwelling and will
erect on the premises a costly home,
the plans being selected to suit his own
ideas of architecture. The house he
will build will be one of the most
creditabIe architectural additions to the
city.
The residence of DR.. Baldwin in Col
lege Hills is rapidly going on toward
completion. It stands on the most COM

It is often very desirable to know how
to seal a letter so that it cannot be
opened without betrayfng the fact
steam or hot water viii open envelopes
closed with mucilage and even a wafer.
A hot iron or a spirit lamp dissolves
sealing wax. an impression in plaster
having been taken of the seal. By the
combined use of water and sealing wax,
however, all attempts to open the letter
otherwise than by force can be frus-
frated. All that is necessary is to close
the letter first with a small moist wa
fer and to pierce the latter with a
coarse needle (the same applies to Iau-
cilage), whereupon sealing wax may be
used in the usual manner. This seal
can neither be opened by dry heat nor
by moisture.
