PHOTOGRAPHY
OF AMATEURS

Amateur photography in Hawaii Is
to be given a boost through an exhi-
bition to be held at the Promotion
Committee rooms in the near future.
At a meeting held on Wednesday,
Messrs. Perkins, Warren and DR.. Sin
clair were appointed committee to
arrange the details for the exhibit.
The committee will make up the CLASH
fication for photos, comprising por-
traits landscapes. marines, etc.
A. Gartley. one of the best amateur
photographers in the Hawaiian Islands,
is secretary, and this insures a fine
exhibit. The Gartley photographs are
becoming famous, not only in Honolulu
but on the mainland. There are num-
bers OF amateurs in the islands and
some beautiful pictures have resulted
through their efforts, but they are
seldom shown in public. The exhibi-
ton will doubtless prove valuable in
many ways for the islands, and the
promotion committee is favoring the
project in every way possible.
There will shortly be a new oppor-
tunity for amateurs to display their
art. The Ridgways of New York have
sent out circulars to photographers all
over the United States drawing their
attention to a weekly sixteen page
publication they will soon issue. which
is to be devoted largely to new pho
tographs from all parts of the United
States. Hawaii is asked to be a con-
tributor All photographs which bear
any relation to news dispatches, etc.
will be acceptable and Hawaii is asked
to send on whatever photo news it may
have. Pictures of wrecks, prominent
men and women visiting here. and all
strange features which have a news
value are acceptable.
With this opportunity in view and |
the growing demand of mainland pub
locations for photographs, the coming |
exhibit should be very successful |
one.
Photographers generally hope that |
the Hawaiian edition of the New York |
Independent will be replete with photo
graphs of island scenes.

TOUGH JAPANESE
COAL PASSER.

That r. Kikuchi. a coal passer on tn,
japanese liner Nippon Maru, is aliyS
and able to take curry and rice anG
shovel black diamonds, is about as
wonderful as Japan itself. Judged by
the ordinary limitations of human en-
durance, Kikuchi should have been
mangled into shapeless pulp in the
Nippon's stoke hole. He should have
been suffocated. He should have been
scared to death. He was not even
scratched.

Yokohama to Honolulu, on the voyage
which ended with the Nippon's arrival
here late Monday afternoon. The liner
was rolling heavily in the Pacific swell.
kikuchi was in the Nippon's stoke hole,
trimming coal. Attacking the fuel
where 1t was heaped high, Kikuchi I'M
dermined the pile. AS he stopped to
shovel out little more of the heaps
foundation the liner rolled and the
coal collapsed, Kikuchi underneath.
For an hour and a half as many of
his shipmates as could crowd into the
bunker worked like little brown furies
to disinter the remains. They had no
hope of finding Kikuchi alive but they
had scruples about feeding their ship
mate with the coal to the liners fur
naces and wanted to recover as much
of him as possible.
At the end of ninety minutes a hand
was uncovered. 1t was not long be-
iore the coal passer's apparently life

DR.. Manning, the liners surgeon, dis
covered signs OF life. but 1t was some
minutes before Kikuchi responded to
the medico's efforts. He came to all of

THE STORY.

THE STORY.
THE day on which the children Of
i Israel crossed Jordan was day
the king had sent out to watch the
movements of the Israelites had re-
turned in haste telling strange sto-
ries Of how the waters OF the Jordan
had divided and the people and all
their flocks and herds had crossed
over on the dry bed of the river, and
were even now on their way to attack
the city.
In their excitement and alarm the
10000 fighting men which had crossed
the river in advance had been magni-
fled into a great army, and quickly
the orders were given that the city
gates be closed tight and double
guard be placed upon the wall. All
the fighting men of the city were
speedily summoned and slept upon
their arms that night, expecting that
an assault might be made upon the
walls under cover of darkness.
That was a terrible night in Jeri-
cho. People ran through the streets
like mad, cursing and fighting with
each other in their wild terror, and
alternately shouting maledictions
upon the Israelites and their God, and
calling upon their gods to hear them
and help them.
Rahab and her kinsfolk gathered
with her in her little house upon
the wall listened to the tumult with
out and wondered If already the Is
raelites had taken the city. But no,
II could not be, for that evening as
the sun had set and Rahab had gone
to the window to see that the scarlet
cord, the pledge Of her deliverance,
was still in it's place at the side of
the easement, she had looked out
across the plain and had seen the
lIsraelites peacefully encamped.
But they will come tomorrow,
she thought, and as the tumult with
out Increased, she turned to reassure
her relatives gathered about her,
when loud pounding upon her outer
door was heard. Tremblingly she
went to the door, and without draw
ing the bar shouted to know who
was there and what was wanted.
"The Israelites be upon us, Rahab,"
shouted a gruff voice, which she recog-
nized as that of the captain over the
guard which kept the wall, and who
had been frequent visitor TO her
house In times past. Flee into the
heart of the city, where the women

One of the vicissitudes of life has

THE life of rich man is worth
more than the life of n poor man,
and the physician has a right to
charge the millionaire more for his
services than he does the laborer," is
the opinion recently handed down by
a Philadelphia judge, who went on to
say:
THE physician is unlike the mer-
chant who has goods of different
quality to sell at various prices. He
must give his best service in every
case. But it does not follow that the
service is worth the same in every
case.
Human life has a pecuniary value
of variable quantity. greater In the
millionaire than in the laborer. Thus
