Power Of Attention.

ne Iact that the mind of man iS
easliy distracted from any subject in
contemplation accounts for the Slow
ness OF the development OF most minds,
ana Tor the extreme slowness of the
development OF the human mind coll
Iectively, says Century, editorially.
Anere are historical periods when gen.
eral enlightenment seems to have adj
sanced by leaps and bounds: but when
one takes cognizance of the tens Of
thousands Of years that man has been
= play In the kindergarten of crea-
tlon' one is aware of the very gradual
.Ao deliberate character of human
progress as a whole; and this delib-
elateness Of growth, and the remains
y ignorance and superstition even in
aands regarded as educated, come
largely from the inability of men to
1eep their thoughts employed stead
A4astiy on the various objects and prob
aems OF matter, mind and life. The
Aaculty OF attention is strikingly lack
ing IN the savage man; It increases as
clViiszatton increases, and is a large
factor In the advance Of civilization
ana Of culture. When the power of
attention is exceptional in the indi-
viduai, he is set apart from his fell
Rows; he Is a genius in the busi-
ness world, or perhaps a poet, artist,
inventor, discoverer. philosopher, re-
former, statesman or conqueror. When
the power of attention in community
mas been stimulated by one attentive
mind, or by group of attentive minds,
tne world passes through periods OF
great mental activity; great reforms
take place; there is great material or
intellectual advance; or, there are re-
vlvals IN letters and In the plastic arts.
The supreme object Of the teacher
y to cultivate attention in his or her
charges. When a child has learned
now to pay attention he has learned
now to study and to learn. "Object
lessons are favorite devices for fixing
attention. According to the orthodox
thologies, religion has been taught to
mankind largely through object les
sons In the form sometimes OF PRO
gressive revelations;" and the sys-
tenn Of symbols in all religions may
be called simply devices for fixing the
wandering attention of souls, for their
sustenance and lasting benefit. We
see, year In and out, the coming and
going OF beliefs, customs; popular he
roes or mere popular pets; best sellers
among books; sports, movements and
fads Of all kinds. which figure prom
lnently only as long as they are able
% claim the attention Of large groups
or OF the entire community. The
whole system of business advertising.
and the Infinite number OF publicity de-
partments publicity as to all sorts Of
wares and all manner OF causes-aro
nothing but means Of securing atten-
ton; OF spreading Information and In
ducing action through suggestion.

kauai VIEWS ON
THE DELEGAT TESHIP
THE GARDEN ISLAND SPEAKS OF
THE COMING CAMPAIGN-POLI-
TICS BREWING ON KAUAI

LIHUE, Kauai, April 16-Maui has
choice for delegate to Washington. The
island thinks Hawaii can do no better
than to give Kuhio a third term, and
has gone to work for him with a will.
Here on Kauai there has not been
much talk about the delegateship, al
though some three months ago, when
Speaker Knudsen returned from abroad
he was asked whether he had any as
pirations i'm that line. He at that
time denied that such was the case,
and said that he desired the nomina-
tion for senator. He did, however,
not say that he would decline to run
under another heading and chances are
that if he saw that there was a wish
among his constituents that he take
up the responsibilities Of representing
Hawaii before Congress, he would exert
himself to get the nomination.
Mr.. Knudsen possesses advantages
that would fit him admirably for such
a position. He has been educated at
Harvard and has therefore a wide ac-
quaintanCe among many of the men
who now sit as representatives of their
districts at the national capitol. He
is born here in the islands and has
all his interests here and is therefore
well acquainted with the conditions and
needs of Hawaii. He has acted as
speaker of our House of Representa-
tives and has in that capacity shown
himself cool and self-possessed, fair to
friend and opponent and gifted with no
small amount of tact and diplomacy,
all of which are qualities that are
eminently needed at such a post as the
one i'm question
We notice that the Honolulu papers !
have commenced to consider him as a !
possible candidate, and there is no |
doubt but that tn Kauaians will assist |
them in boosting one from their own |
Garden Island.

NEW MAGISTRATE
At KAAWIHAU
DAVID KALAWAIA'S TERM AS
DISTRICT JUDGE EXPIRED AT
KAPAA.

LIHUE, Kauai, April 10 Mr.. Da
vid Kalawaia's term as district judge
at Kapaa expired last week, and the
residents of the district were wonder
ing who his successor was to be when
the news came that Mr.. j. H. KawelO
had received the appointment. He took
his oath of Office before Hon. Jacob
Hardy, Judge of the Fifth Circuit
Court, last Wednesday and entered up
on his duties the next day,
Mr.. Kawelo is well and favorably
known in his district where he has re-
sided for many years and been en-
ployed as a clerk by me Mallee Sugar
Co.
The retiring judge was a capable
man, but the disclosures of his con-
nection with gambling den in Ka-
paa, brought to light at this term of
court, necessarily precluded all ques-
tion of Observation-Disclosures Island.

FRISCO A CITY
OF EARTHQUAKES
PREDICTION GENERALLY MADE
THAT SUCH DISASTER WOULD
SOME TIME OCCUR.

san Francisco has always been known
as city of earthquakes. AS long as
she has been a city at all, she has had
several of them every year, but they
have been practically harmless. They
have been tremblors of varying force
which frequently caused considerable
alarm, and often did slight damage but
that was all.
The prediction that there would some
day be a great disaster like the one
which occurred yesterday morning has
however been very general. No one who
has lived in the city can fail to heard
the oft-repeated statement that some
day" san Francisco would get a real
earthquake, which would send her
high buildings topping in ruins The
city is built on small peninsula. The
district adjoining the waterfront which
appears to have suffered the worst, and
over which, according to the operat-
ors' reports, the water was rising, are
largely made" land. Old-timers re-
member when the waters of the harbOr
came up as far as Montgomery street
The messages this morning indicated
that the water was doing so agaln-the
earth had apparently begun to sink,
and water was flowing up Market
street.
Such "A disaster as this would mean
billions of loss 1t would put under
water whole blocks of highly valuable
real estate and ruin endless fortunes.
The ferry building, which was re-
ported as having suffered much, is
comparatively new structure. 1t is a
splendid building-the entrance to the
city from the water, and had am i'm
posing high tower, i'm which was a
large clock. The subsistence of the
earth here, would mean the loss Of this
structure and of all the ferry slips at
which streamers from the other side
land passengers.
All the dispatches indicated that the
worst of the destruction was in the
district south of Market street, to the
waer front from where Montgomery
street ends at Market. This district
contains a number of factories and big
business buildings, also many ware
houses.
Hon. Charles r. Bishop, formerly Of
Honolulu, was one of the steady guests
at the Occidental Hotek The hotel
was reported safe at about $50, San
Francisco time, in a cable to Robert
Cation, stating that his daughter and
the hotel were safe. The latter reports
however showed fire i'm the vicinity,
the cable operator stating that fire
was within a block of the cable office
on all sides The Occidental is three
or four blocks away

OF FRISCO
TO HONOLULU
SCORES OF PEOPLE FROM THIS
CITY ARE IN THE CITY OF THE
GOLDEN GATE.

outside of some of the more imme-
diate sections of the Pacific Coast there
is no community that is greater in
terested or concerned in the terrible
disaster to San Francisco, than Homo
lulu. Aside from the commercial and
social relations between the two places
there are a great many Honolulu and
island people now visiting in San Fran
cisco and there are likewise, scores Of
former residents Of these islands living
i'm San Francisco. Relatives of local
island people are also residents of the
stricken city and besides many San
Francisco people who have visited
these islands are well known i'm this
city.
When the full import of the shock
ing disaster became known i'm Honolulu
there was naturally the greatest excite
ment and apprehension felt on the part
of local people having relatives and
friends i'm San Francisco. Eager and
insistent application was made to the
local office of the cable company for
news of the extent and for details Of
the loss of life. None was to be Sc
cured during yesterday forenoon. Scores
upon scores of people presented cable
grams at the local office for rush" dis
patch to San Franc SEQ, to inquire for
the safety of those held dear. No
guarantee that the messages could be
delivered was given by the cable COM
pany. The messages were accepted TO
await the ability of the company to

FELL FROM TREE

LIHUE, Kauai, April 16.-Last Mon
day, however one of the men working
on the Kalihiwai section met with an
accident that cost him his life. 1t
seems that Yamada had climbed a
tree in order to remove some branch
es reaching over the trail in such a
way as to interfere with the wire, In
doing this he lost his balance and fell
distance of about twenty feet, strik-
ing a heavy piece of timber lying un-
derneath the tree, and suffering instant
death. The Deputy Sheriff was noti-
fed and soon arrived, but found no
necessity of holding an inquest as the
cause of the death was evident-Gar-
den Island.
