A DAY OF GUESSING.

A few years ago while I was spending
my vacation in the country, my friend who
had just come from town told me that when
I went home should be greatly surprised
at " something's. To all my questions she
only answered, "Wait and see.' I was to
go home the next day. I had plenty of time
to myself to think and wonder and the up
permost thought in my mind was of that
Inevitable something" The next day when
reached home the something proved to
be my aunt from Canada. I was very glad
to see her, but as I thought Of all my wonder
ing of the day before, I, felt that had been
my hardest vacation day. 49,: ~. -

MINES AT vLADTvosToK-

The Naval Bureau is advised through
the usual official channels that on ac-
count of the danger from mines, the
commander of the naval station at
Vladivostok has ordered that all vessels
entering that port shall take pilots at
Askold Island, and on approaching the
bay shall proceed only by daylight.
A. Toxic message to the Mainichi
states that it has been aseertained that
the floating mines which have been
found off Kinkazan, on the northeast
ern coast of Hondo, are Russian. The
fact that the mines have drifted so far
has caused great anxiety in shipping
circles. Most of the vessels engaged
on the eastern coast have decided not
to proceed at night north of Soma. AS
the mines are likely to drift further
south, it is feared that shipping on the
Pacific coast will be endangered as
much as that in the japan Sea-

TIDAL WAVE HITS HILo.

The reports from Maui of a twelve
feet tidal wave which did damage at
MaaIaea Bay and Macpherson's Land
ing are rendered more interesting from
the fact that there was disturbance
in local waters last Friday morning
The wave which was observed on Maui
came on Wednesday night SO that II
would seem odd that so long time
should eIapse between the Two. AT all
events the watchman at the Matson
Navigation Company's warehouse on
the wailoa river reported that shortly
after four in the morning the water
suddenly left the river and for snort
space of time, the bed of the stream
was almost dry. 1t returned to the
normal very gradually. Shortly before
ten o'clock, when the S. S. kinau's
passengers were going to the wharf 1t
was noticed that the river was again
acting erraticaIly, running out with
great speed The change of level then
amounted to about two feet which was
not sufficient, of course, to cause any
damage.
The opinion has been hazarded that
the recent seismic disturbances on the
South American coasts may have had
some relation to the waves.-HaWa1i

TIE SUPPOSED
PRISON or CHR|sT

JERUSALEM, August 1.-THE sup
posed prison of Christ has been dis
covered beneath the Via Dolorosa. 1t
is a subterranean cell hewn out of the
solid rock
The cell is connected with the series
of underground chambers discovered
thirty years ago near the Ecce Homo
Chapel. but this was only discovered
the other day by some Greeks who
were clearing out the original cells.
"Christs prison" is one of a group
of cells which appear to be ancient
Roman dungeons; they are hewn out
of rock similarly to the Latomiae in
Syracuse, Syria. 1t contains a con-
trfvance of stone which is supposed to
be an ancient form of the medieval
stock
Below the cell is smaller and
grimmer celia kind of "oubliette"-
full of human bones and rubbish
Already "Christ's prison" which has
been converted into Greek chapel has
been visited by thousands of devout
pilgrims, who firmly believe it to be
the veritable dungeon in which Jesus
awaited His trial before Pontius plate.
