Miss Mary Jones was an old maid.
Possibly if she had lived in an up-to-
date town and been up to date her
self she would have been Miss Marie
Jones, a bachelor girl; but as it was
she was simply an old maid. Pretty
she had once been, and perhaps she
was not far from it now, but who ever
stops to thiuk whether an old maid 10
pretty or not?
1t was bright morning. The out
side world-God's world-was full OF
sunshine; the inside world-Miss
Mary's world-was peaceful. To-day
was her birttGay-forty years OF
spring and sunshine, Of cloud and
shadow; and yet she did not feel old.
She looked out at the beautiful bright
ness, past the nodding white flowers
in the garden, past the dusty road.
Again she seemed happy girl, wan
dering through the green woods. float
ing upon the bosom of the lake whose
waters were just visible from her
window. She had Eot been alone then,
and every tender word he had spoken
was dear. to her even now. The flow
ers they had gathered together had
withered. but their fragrance was still
IL her heart.
Presently the gate clicked and with
sigh, for only her God knew how
lonely her life was at times, she
reused from her day-dream and hur-
ried out to meet a tall, graceful girl
that was coming slowly down the gar
den walk.
why, Helen! When did you get
back?" she exclaimed joyfully, taking
the girls hands in both OF hers. How
good to see you again!"
The girl smiled down at her. She
was tall and strong. and everybody
loved Helen. "Only this morning."
she said, kissing the soft cheek of the
older woman and drawing her down
upon the rustic bench upon the vine
covered porch.
II have SO much to tell you" she
said as she loosened the strings of her
hat and let it fail beside her upon the
floor.
I'll be glad to hear it, Helen," said
Miss Mary, caressing her fondly. "You
know that l am interested in anything
that concerns you"
\ smile dimpled the girls face.
"Well, we had an accident" she said
slowly.
"Accident-what kind of an acct
dent?" asked the little woman.
Railroad" she answered seriously.
"a broken rail dumped us down an en-
bankment into a sand bed"
"Oh! Was anybody hurt?"
Some had scratches and bruises,
but we came out free, although our
coach was turned upside down and /
was shut in for two hours"
"Oh Helen!"
"Whom do you think was shut up
in the compartment with me, Miss
Nary"

THE STAR
Gives NEWS
THE STAR ISSUED THE ONLY EX-
IRA OF THE DAY GIVING THE
PUBLIC NEWS OF DISASTER.

The news of the great Aisaster which
has overtaken the ,dty of Valparaiso
was given to the public by means of an
extra edition of The Star very soon
after the arrival of the cable with the
momentous news,
With the arrival of tie cable prep
arations We're quickly made by the
staff of The Star for the issuing of an
extra which was puc on the street al
most Immediately, giving to the pub
lie the first story of the disaster.
That the public appreciated the ex-
ira is shown by the large sale of pa
pers. Nearly every newsboy in town
was out with the extras and they came
back repeatedly for more
The story of the destruction of VAL
paraiso was all the more interesting
on account of the recent similar de-
struction of San Francisco, the tidal
wave on Maui and the disturbances at
Buenos Ayres as told by the morning
cable. The public were eager for the
news, and it was through the columns
of The Star this h-srning that they
learned Of what promises to rank sec
ond in horror of modern catastrophes.
1t is the duty of a newspaper to give
the news to its readers promptly and
this morning The Star fulfilled that
duty to the letter

an oscillation from the normal state of
the tide of between three and four
hours.
Assuming that the earthquake in
Valparaiso occurred sometime yester-
day afternoon, as the cable dispatches
indicate, the time when the tide gauge
began to show disturbances would be
about the time an impulse from VAL
paraiso would reach here. That is tidal
waves move at the rate of about $50
miles an hour, depending somewhat of
course on the force of the initial inn
pulse. So that we could expect the
wave to reach here from the Chilean
coast in approximately awelve hours.
"The tide gauge continues to show
this disturbance indicating that what
ever it's origin, it was of great force
and violence"
The tide gauge of the survey depart
ment is between the Oceanic wharf
and the Allen & Robinson's wharf, and
is of modern kind, automatic in the
record 1t makes.

Tidal WAVE
FELT At NIU
AT LOW TIDE YESTERDAY A Sue
CEsSION OF WAVES CARRIED
WATER ABOVE HIGH TIDE MARK

There is every reason to believe that
tidal wave was felt on the shore of
Oahu beyond Diamond Head
For several days the sea in that di-
rection has been exceedingly rough.
Late yesterday afternoon, people in
bathing at Niu experienced and OBJ
served a very peculiar manifestation
of the water 1t was about low tide,
and at that stage of the tide the people
go pretty far out on the reef to where
some pools afford good bathing. All
the inner portion of the little blight at
this place is a mud fiat While the
people were in bathnIg the water be-
gan coming in rapidly from the ocean.
But instead of a succession of waves,
each rolling in, and receding, to be
followed by another, there seemed to
be a succession of twenty or thirty
waves, following one after the other
with very little recession of the water
between them, the whole effect being
to cover the reef and mud flats, al
though it was low tide Eventually
the water rose on the land from one
to two feet above high tide.
For several days, as stated before,
there has been an unusually rough sea,
and the waves have broken very high
and strong on Koko Head.

The Nuuanu dam report by Engineer
Kellogg is against the dam as describ-
ed i'm the present plans. At the same
time it is not a vindication of the Pat
terson complaints, for Kellogg aRRears
to have found defects of his oV and
had little regard for those which Pat
terson claimed to find. The report
as a whole calls for some important
alterations in the plans.
The report was received early this
afternoon by Superintendent Holloway
and he and Engineer Howland at once
began reading It together 1t is a
very long typewritten report, accom-
panied by numerous drawings and
tables, and some study is required to
thoroughly digest it, After one hasty
reading neither the superintendent nor
the engineer were prepared to discuss

In the opinion of Territorial Survey
or W. E. Wall, the tide gauge in Ho-
nolulu harbor is at this very time reg
istering impulses that have come to
it clear across the ocean from distant
Valparaiso.
"The tide gauge in Honolulu har-
bor," said Mr.. Wall, when inquiry was
made of him on the subject, ''makes no
record Of the disturbance which was
felt in Maalaea Bay on the southerly
side of Maui, and which assumed
there, according to reports, the char
acter of a tidal wave. This is conclu-
sive that that disturbance, whatever
it was, did not manifest itself here, as
the tide gauge is automatic and makes
record of all manifestations of that
sort.
"But at $40 o'clock this morning, the
tide gauge began to record a series of
waves which are undoubtedly the re-
suit Of a disturbance other than the
regular movement of the rise and fall
of the tides, and apparently of distant
origin. These waves come in a series

The book of Clarence Edward Dalton
on Earthquakes" has the following to
say concerning Chilean earthquakes.
'On November 10, 1922 a great earth
quake shook the Chilean coast for
distance of 1900 miles south and north,
the greatest energy being shown 100
miles north of Valparaiso. In the
vicinity of that city the coast was
found to have risen suddenly from to
feet for a distance which has never
been accurately ascertained but which
is known to have exceeded 95 miles.

Whether the disturbance was regis
tered at the seismograph station at
Sisal or not, is not known as yet. Mr..
Nyswander was in town this morning
and said that no films developed up to
the time he left showed any disturb
ance. 1t is probable, however, that the
seismograph did make a record.
Mr., Nyswander left this morning by
the Mauna Loa. Mr.. Weinrich will be
in charge during his basence, 1t can
not be known for certain what record
if any was made until the photograph

earthquake happened, has been devel'

SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER REPEATED
HAS SUFFERED SEVERITY BEFORE

says L have convincing proof that this
portion of the continent of South
America has been elevated near the
coast at least from 400 to 500 feet, and
in some parts from 1000 to 1900 feet,
since the epoch of living Shells He
finds his evidence in the raised beaches
near the coast in which these shells
abound and sometimes constitute al
most the entire mass of beach deposits.
That this uplift has been going on by
small and sudden movements, raising
from foot or two to ten feet at a
shock, is attested by good evidence.
The coast in many places is proved
to be from twenty to thirty feet higher
today than it was in the middle of the
seventeenth century"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-08-17

1t seems altogether probable that
the earthquake that destroyed VAL
paraiso is the same one reported by
the morning cable as occurring at
Mendoza in Argentina. The two cities
are only about $50 miles apart Men

Chile on the line of the trans-conti-

Whether the tidal wave felt at Maa-

with this seismic disturbance or not.

at Niu yesterday afternoon had, it
seems almost certain that the disturb
