teresting article:
An automobile ll-climbing contest
took place in Montecito yesterday af-
ternoon. only one car competed, the
contest being finish fight between
the motor and the hill, but the event
did not lack interest for this reason.
The feat of climbing the Hot Springs
hill from the bottom to the very door
of the Hot Springs Hotel was accom-
plished yesterday afternoon by a 1906
White steamer, owned by d. C. Will
liams of Pennsylvania. The car, con-
tanning five passengers, made the climb
with great ease and at a big rate of
speed, over road that was in wretch
ed condition. This is really a remark
able performance considering the ex-
tremely steep grades which occur at
several points of the road. The White
took all the hills with great ease and
with plenty of reserve power, making
steam all the way up

FOR CHARITY
AND SPORT

Judging from the sale of exchange
tickets "The Cheerful Liar to be pre-
scented at the Orpheum Theater, on
Thursday evening the Goth inst, is sure
to be greeted by crowded house.
As everyone must know by this time,
4sThe Cheerful LIAR is a comedy in
three acts, full of the most ludicrous
situations. It will be presented by a
company of local players headed by
those versatile old-stagers Messrs.
Drum and Auerbach. Mr.. Henry Vieira,
the originator of "Konohi.o and sew
,eral other Chinese sketches, has kindly
consented to take part in the produc
tion of "The Cheerful LIAR this in
Itself should insure crowded house, as
local comedians.
Honolulu folks are noted for their
readiness at all times to respond to the
appeal for help. The purpose of the
presentation of "The Cheerful LIAR is
a double one, to wit: in aid of the Kona
Orphanage and Lusitana Athletic Club.
What more worthy cause could one who
is ready to help the unfortunate, or
true sport willing to contribute his
mite toward the promotion of clean and
manly games, ask for?
The box office will be open on
Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a. m.
to 5 p. m, at the Orpheum Theater.

parachutes. In other words, the flight
is precisely similar to that of a fiat
stone when thrown up so as to rico
Chef from the points where it touches
the water till it finally falls.
In the second paper, published in the
January number of the Annals and Mag
azine of Natural History. the author,
Lieut-Col. c. D. Durnford, takes pre-
cisely the opposite view, maintaining,
on mechanical grounds, that the aero
plane theory, as the above may be
called, is an absolute physical impos-
sibility, owing to the fact that the
wing surface is far too small in pro-
portion to the size and weight of the
body to sustain the fish during its
long flight.
This being admitted, the only al
tentative is to suppose that the wings"
are moved with an exceedingly rapid
vibratory motion throughout the whole
flight, and are thus, after the first
initial impetus, the propelling power.
The author further maintains that the
wing movements which many obser-
vers have noticed when a flying fish
touches wave are not movements de
novo. but merely such a. slowing down
of the continuous rapid vibrations as
to render them visible to the eye. If
Col. Durnford's mechanical data are
trustworthy-as they seem to be-his
case appears to be proved.
The next point, however, to ascer-
tain is whether the muscles which
work the pectoral fins of flying fish
are really capable of imparting to
them the power of maintaining these
rapid and continuous vibrations, which
are the essential part Of the new
theory.
