THE SAVORY FLYING FISH.

Flying fishes are of considerable
gastronomic Importance, being savory
and surpassed by few others. On ac-
count of their mode of occurrence,
however. regular fisheries are entirely
exceptional. They might be regarded
as unlikely subjects for fly angling, but
they may be caught In this manner
if one happens TO find himself sur
rounded by a school of them. A vari-
etv of bats are employed in their cap
ture-bits of red bunting, small spoon
bats and artificial minnows and flies
the most taking being a large red fly
and small gilt nlfnnow, but all the
bats mentioned are effective. In fol-
lowing the minnow through the water

SAID CITY is
COMPLETELY PRETTY

Among the through passengers
aboard the s. S. Doric, arriving from
the Orient yesterday, were Mr.. and
Mrs. D. j. NJ Sim, WAC are making
a bridal tour of the world.
Mr.. Sim is the captain of steamship
running between London and Calcutta.
He is nephew o. Sir James Lyle Mac
kay the English diplomat and $. eam~
ship man.
While the DorIc was here Mr.. and
Mrs. Sim were the guests of Mrs.
James Lyle and family, who showed
them as much of Honolulu ana its
surroundings as could be crowded into
the limited time at the visitors dis
posal
Mr.. and Mrs. sim were charmed with
Honolulu. 10
"Of all the places L have been in"
said Mr.. Sim to an Advertiser man,
there is none so completely pretty
as Honolulu The number of well-kept
residences is particularly striking and
gives the impression that the town
a large number of very
wealthy people.

A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
City residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.

NOT 4 PORT OF
EHTERTA|N MERT

As a port of call. or rendezvous. fol-
ships Honolulu appears to have been
turned down by the Navy Department.
Months. have elapsed since a United
States war vessel has entered the har-
Dor and it may be months hence be-
fore one will appear. The Asiatic
squadron finds Oriental ports more
convenient for getting general repairs
and certain items of equipment than
Mare Island or Bremerton and con-
sequently the ships are not obliged to
make the tedious and laborious vOy-
age across the Pacific, touching at
Honolulu. Most supplies for the Asia
tic station are sent from Atlantic
ports via Suez and often when it be-
comes necessary for a vessel to go
home and out of commission. the navy
yards on the Atlantic are made pref
cradle in the order from the Depart
ment. The captain is instructed to
sail by the Suez route, which admits
of leisureIy stoppages at the pleasant
cities of the Mediterranean. There is
nothing but a coal pile and a cable
to draw ships TO Honolulu" said a
naval officer THE society is not in
the navy set When you wine and
dine a ships officers as they do in
Trieste. Malta. Marseilles
and Gibraltar you may expect more

THE SPRAY
SPRUNG LEAK
Yacht Was WaterIogged
but Not So Captain
Picker.

The yacht Spray is safe and her val
liant skipper, Picker, is in the same
happy case. The little craft arrived here
early yesterday morning after trip
fraught with unpleasant experience.
The Spray left Honolulu on Sunday
morning with the owner and a mess of
the owners friends aboard. A stop
was made at Waialua and in the even
ing the return trip began, the intention
of the Corinthians being to get to the
metropolis via Kahuku and Makapuu
Point. Off Kahuku a leak was discov-
cred and the water rose so rapidly that
Captain Picker changed his plans and
decided, for safety's sake, to return by
the leeward route.
Off Kaena Point there was two feet
of water above the cabin flooring and
all hands were bailing for dear life.
Owing to a fve-hours' calm met with
off Makaha, Waianae was not reached
until $3.50 a. m. on Monday. There the
yachtsmen went ashore and a patch of
creased canvas was procured and nailed
over the sprung planks, the location of
which was discovered by a native diver.
Repairs having been completed, the
Spray got under way, rounded Kaena
Point at 9:15 p. m. and arrived in port
at 4:30 a. m. yesterday. All s well that
ends well, but there was danger as well
as excitement in the little Sprays ex-
perience.

it was decided to do nothing till his

EARNEST PLEA

In the course of patriotic ser
mon at the First NJ E. church at
Memphis, Tenn, recently Bishop
E E Hess, the most distinguish
ed minister in the Southern
church. said: 1t is the wealthy
lawbreakers that are the chief
menace to the public welfare. The
healthiest possible spectacle of the
day would be that of, -lawbreakiug
millionaires wearing stripes and
breaking stones in a penitentiary.
Especially must all so-called mob
law, which is no law but purely
anarchy, be stamped out. 1t has
a tendency to grow worse and
worse.
Beginning by hanging, shooting
or burning a man, suspected of a
particularly heinous crime, it goes
on to infict the same penalty on
other real or supposed offenders
and finally murders outright and
with indiscriminate ruthlessuess
who ever happens to get in the
way.
Long be the day in the distance
when an infamed rabble in this
dear and glorious old state shall be
turned loose to slay men and wo
men for the simple sin of being
black. There are white 6ends,
but we do not punish innocent
white men for their sins, and
neither should we deal so unfairly
by the colored people, to whom
many of us are bound by tradition
al ties of friendship and love, ana
who, as race, and taking every
thing into account-the weakness
of their wicked enemies and the
stiffness of their fool friends
have behaved during the 40 years
of their freedom in most CON-
mendable way"
The Colorado statesman., 1906-11-17

induced to support him by the
personal appeals of colored friends.
So strong is this feeling that at
mass meeting nearly every Ne
gro preacher in Chicago was pres
ent, and the plan for the Negroes
TO get together, quit both the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties,
and work for their own interests,
joining hands with those white
men who are friendly to them, re-
ceived unanimous Endorsement.
Negroes of prominence among
among their race discussed the in
dependent movement today, and
there were few voices against it.
The following figures show the
strength of the coloreI people in
Chicago.
Number of Negroes in Chicago,
$4,000.
Per cent. of Negroes to total
population, about 4.
Value of property owned by Ne
groes S4900,0 ,00O
