lieve the calmness of the people was
largely due to their confidence in Dr.
Porter.
And how much greater confidence

porous as if there had never been

We must dissent from the reasons
that Dr. Porter gives for his desire
to retire. We see no signs Of a lack
of activity In BIS discharge Of his du-
ties. We do not see how a younger
man could have been more active.
We cannot see how any man could

within the limits which mark the

The towline is doubtless the earliest

Hltched to a floating los, the genesis
Of all water craft, canoe or sledge it
was used before history learned the
art of writing or mankind the art Of
reading.
The towline was combined with the
suspension cable as a means Of cross
ing streams in the mountains Of Hin
dustan at q very remote period The
suspension cable. often several hum
dred feet in length, was made Of twist
ed fbers or slender stalks Of climbing
vines. This was solidly secured to
large trees or masses Of rocks on the
banks Of the chasms to be crossed. On
this cable a wooden block, groOved IN
derneath, was placed. suspended from
which was aasmall rude platform or at
times a simple loop Of rope for the
passenger or baggage The wooden
block, with its attached load, was pull
ed across the chasm in either direction
by a towllne attached to the block
This rude contTivance is the genesis OF
the most refined aerial ropeways Of the
present day and Of the suspension
bridge also, which is, Of a crude form,
OF very great antiquity.
When the Spaniards first visited Pc
ru they found suspension bridges which
could be uaversed by men and bur
dened animals. Some of these bridges
were Of over 200 feet span and were
Termed Of half a dozen cables OF twist
ed Osiers stretched from bank to bank
and passed over wooden supports.
These cables were bound together by
smaller ropes and were covered with
a layer Of bamboo, which formed a
support for the roadway.

DEFENSE OFFERS
NO TESTIMONY
WAIMANALO MANSLAUGHTER
CASE GOING TO THE JURY IN
JUDGE DE BOLTS COURT.

The case of Otomatsu Kawano,
charged with killing Japanese at
Waimanalo, by an assault with a
knife, was about concluded in Judge
De Bolts court this morning.
This is the case in which the victim
died and was buried before the matter
was investigated. Then the body was
exhumed and it was found that there
were many serious wounds. Kawano
was arrested and indicted for the kill
ing.
DR.. Judd, who had charge with Ches-
ter Doyle of the eXhuming of thN body,
testified this morning regarding the
wounds he found. He described eight
different knife wounds on the body and
declared that they were enough to have
caused the deceased to bleed to death
as there was no medical attendance.
At the close of the prosecutions case
Attorney Cathcart moved that the jury
be instructed to acquit, on the ground
of insufficiency of evidence. The mo-
ton was denied and the defense rested
without offering any evidence. The jury
was excused to o'clock, when the case
will be submitted after argument Dep
uty Attorney General Peters prose

This is a concise and absolutely true

I'll guarantee to prove them to the sat
