THE RAPID TRANSIT PROBLEM.

There is not a railroad in the United
States run by steam or electrical mo-
tive power which could give the public
the service it pays for unless it's cars
were permitted to make up time.
Delays happen in the best regulated
systems. With trolley lines one car
may have more stops than usual and
it must increase its speed between them
to reach the switch or transfer point
On time or the whole system will be
affected. Some slight accident or the
use of trailers may cause delay. Shall
the whole system be thrown out of
order because of that fact. and every
body put to an inconvenience?
1t is not a question of saving life
At not a single inquest on the bodies
of people killed on the Rapid Transit
line has the coroner's jury found the
company guilty of contributory neglig-
ence. In each and every case the speed
of the cars had not gone beyond the
statutory limit. Nor are the trolley
cars permitted to make up time on
crowded streets. What they do in that
respect is done where the street is rea-
sonably clear.
There is much in the origin of this
proceeding against the Rapid Transit
which will not bear examination-but
of that more anon.

The Oregonian, which sailed yester-
day for HiiO, is one of the best known
OF the fleet to which she belongs. She
is of 1861 tons, and, like her sister
liners, is splendid vessel, of staunch
construction and capable of carrying
heavy cargoes. Unlike the Nebraskan
and Nevadan, she is coal burner, ana
can develop considerable speed.
Captain Carly has many friends in
Honolulu and in shipping circles he
has reputation as an experienced and
careful mariner. He is student
of the birds of the sea and has a col
lection of rare tropical and Antarctic
specimens in his apartments Among
these is a boatswain or trOpic bird,
which is found in the vicinity of the
equator. This denizen of the tropics
lives on flying fish, and is found many
miles from shore. His distinguishing
feature consists of two long tail feath-
ers. Another unique specimen in Cap
tain Carty's collection is marlin
spike, white in color, speckled with
black. He also has a tern, found in
the Straits of Magellan, and has stuff
ed specimens of the Straits of Magel
Ian geese, which are smaller than the
varieties found in North America. The
female is of a variegated color, while
the gander Is a spotless white.
Several voyages ago Captain Carly
caught three perfect specimens of the
albatross, which are taken with hook
and line from tn" ships stern. These
birds were ehloroformed and placed in
the refrigerator, where they were fro
zen stiff. They We're the most perfect
specimens ever taken into New York,
where they attracted no little atten-
ton. Captain Carly home is on Long
Island

DELIBERATE MISREPRESENTATION.

The would-be oil monopolists, who
are irving to shut out one third of the
oil of California from competition in
this Territory. so that they can there
by be in a better position TO cinch the
oil consumers of the Territory, are max
ing deliberate Misrepresentation as to
the existing laws of Hawaii on the sub
ject of the flash test.
They are stating. both in public and
i'm private. that the present law of Ha-
wall requires that fuel oil shall stand
a flash test of $50 degrees, and that
an attempt is being made TO lower
such test.
AS matter of fact. the existing law
fixes the fash test of kerosene oil at
lis degrees, and of petroleum at 100
degrees.
The statute fixing the flash test of
kerosene oil. is section 979 of the Re-
vised Laws. 1t reads as follows:
TT shall be unlawful. except as in this
chapter provided to sell, offer for sale
give or in any way furnish or dispose
of any Kerosene oil for illuminating or
any other purpose. in this Territory,
which shall ignite or evaporate an in
hammable vapor at any, temperature
below rs degrees Fahrenheit.
The statute fixing the flash test of
Petroleum now largely used as fuel
oil, is section s72 of the Revised Laws.
t. x-eo5c &c follows
1T shall not be lawful for any per-
son or persons to sell within this Ter
ritory. benzine. petroleum, or any oils
of which the component part is naphthn
or gasoline, which gives off an infiam-
Unable vapor at a temperature of Jess
than 100 degrees Fahrenheit
There is no other statute, either on
the books of Hawaii. or of the United
States, applicable to Hawaii. which
even refers to the flash test of oils, re-
fined or crude.
A recent superintendent of Public
Works. without right or authority of
law. issued what he called ''regula-
ton" by which he undertook to set
aside the above statute, and make the
flash test $50 degrees.
1t has been pointed out to the Super
intendent of Public Works that the law
gives him no power to raise the flash
test. and as a matter of fact the so
called regulation fixing the flash test
of petroleum at $50 degrees has never
been, and cannot be. enforced.
The statement that the present flash
test of fuel oil is $50 degrees, and that
an attempt is being made to lower such
test. is deliberate misrepresentation.
In fact, the present flash test is 100
degrees. and has been 100 degrees ever
since 1873; and a desperate attempt is
now being made to raise the flash test
to $50 degrees, for no other purpose
than to stifle competition, for the sell
fish ends of those who are promoting
the attempt

Automobiles run in this city at the
rate of twenty, twenty-five and thirty
miles an hour and they are not con-
fined to a beaten track. So far the
authorities have not asked to have
bursts is confined to the cars the peo-
pie use and which they were glad to
get as relief from the mule service;
and when legal action is taken against
rapid transit it shuts its eyes to all
else even though a dozen autos are
skurrying by like locomotives. In
other words the common citizens car
is permitted to zip.

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS rule it is only
necessary to give the child dose of
castor Oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the oldfashioned castor oil, and
see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has tendency to grippe.
If this does not check the bowels give
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy aud then a dose of
castor oil, and the disease may be
checked in its incipiency and all danger
avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once
and kept ready for instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit confidence
even in cases of cholera infantum. For
sale by all druggists.

TIME IS THE TEST !!
The Testimony of Wausau People
Stands the Test.

The test of time is what tells the tale.
The public soon finds out when mis-
representations are made, and merit
alone will stand the test of time.
Wausau people appreciate merit, and
many months ago local citizens public
ly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills; they
do so still. Would citizen make the
statement which follows unless con-
WINGED that the article was just as repre-
sented? A cure that lasts is the kind
that every sufferer from kidney ills is
looking for.
Mrs James Morrill,, of 112 South First
St., Wausau, Wis, says: Several
years ago | had a severe attack of rheu-
matism, and after that my kidneys trou-
bled me greatly. Ihad severe attacks of
backache and l might say / was seldom
free from it. 1t was almost impossible
to do anything requiring me to bend.
Too frequent passages of the kidney
sccretions annoyed me especially at
night, and usually in the morning | felt
as tired as when went to bed Procur-
ing Doan's Kidney Pills at Albers drug
store they gave me complete relief.
That was at least eight years ago and |
have had no backache nor any need for
kidney medicine since. Mr.. Morrill, has
used Doan's Kidney Pills and recon-
mends them as strongly as l do"

Alex. Empy, the barber, was out shoot
ing rats back of his building last Sunday
and firing of the pastime, entered the
building, and as he did so, dropped the
revolver into his hip pocket la some
manner the action caused a discharge
of the weapon, and being muzzle down

course, and passed directly through

of his anatomy in line, and while
he is recovering all right, sitting down

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when II was simple indges-
ton. 1t is scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result Of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting 1t up against the
heart. This interferes with the action OF
the heart, and IN the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

trouble and WIS in bad state as had heart trouble
