KEALOHA IS
DROPPED OUT
Roads Committee Will Get Alone
Without the Man From
the Country.

Kealoha was dropped with a dull
lthud from the Roads and Bridges COM
Imittee of the County Supervisors at
the meeting of the board last night
and no one, not even Kealoha, pro-
tested. No one even inquired why, it
being apparently the case. that those
who knew We're satisfied and those who
didn't know were afraid to pry too
closely into the particulars. The drop
was announced just at the close of the
meeting, Chairman Hustace announc-
ling that hereafter the Roads and
Bridges committee would consist of
Archer, as chairman, and Dwight.
| This was the only feature of the
meeting that approached anything like
a sensation, the reports of the Treas
urer and the Sheriff being listened to
without anyone commenting on the
figures in any way. There was no OBJ
lection either to any of the bills of the
past month presented for payment, the
whole number being allowed.
The one proposition advanced which
was defeated was the proposal made in
report of Archer's that the Board
recommend to the Tax Commission the
increasing Of the rate of taxation to
one and one-half per cent, the county
to share in the increased amount rails
ed. The other Supervisors evidently
saw that something else besides the
taxes would be raised if this recon-
mendation came from them and they |
turned down the proposal, laying the |
report on the table.
The report of Sheriff Iaukea was an |
one, giving the figures of |
his department for the past six |
months. The report in full was as fol- |
lows:
THE POLICE REPORT.
The following is the police report,
County of Oahu, for the six months
ended June 20, 1907:
The police record of criminal arrests
and convictions for the first six months
Of 1907 is as follows:
Total number of arrests, 2408.
Total number of convictions, 1866.
In the first six months Of 1906 the
total number of arrests was 1000, and

CURIOSITY AND
CHRONOMETER
Brief Visions of an Internal
Machine for Prince
Fushimi.

There were a few moments during
Prince Fushimi IS stay in Honolulu,
when it was not known but what the
international fat was in the fire. There
were thoughts of an internal machine
and a plot, which if successful would
have sent the Japanese-American en-
tente cordiale a-glimmering.
While the Prince and his suite were
at lunch in the Waikiki diningroom of
the Young Hotel yesterday, two
strangers, men, came up to the dining
room floor and asked to be permitted
to 90 in to the Waikiki diningroom
to see the Prince. Their request was
denied and they went away. Presently
the returned and again asked to be
permitted to take look. This was
again denied. and then they went into
the Eva diningroom and ordered lunch
themselves.
But before going into this diningroom
thev left with the cashier small Ieath-
er covered box five or SIX inches long,
about three wide and perhaps an
inch and half thick. The cashier
thought nothing of it for the time, but
presently she observed that there was
the sound of clock-work mechanism
from within the box. Coupling TINS
with the anxiety of the men to get IN
to the diningroom where the Prince
was, she sent for Chief of Detectives
Taylor and Officer Reeves, who had
been On duty about the Prince since
his arrival, and told them the crcum-
stances. Chief Taylor took the box to
an open window and snapped back the
lid. This disclosed through an aper-
ture the face of a watch, but still did
not make it clear thus it was not an
internal machine. Then second I'D
was thrown back disclosing a fine
pocket chronometer ticking away the
seconds as complacently as could be.
The lids were closed back and the :
,ox returned to the cashier, with the
Injunction to say nothing about the
natter until the Prince and his party
lad sailed away, so that no confused
+ distorted account of the incident :
hould reach their ears.

CAT AND CHEESE"

If ever, in connection with cheese
ones thoughts fly to a cat instead of q
mouse it must surely be to that famous
! grinning cat from the county of cheeses
the Cheshire cat But the cat asso-
ciated with cheese in the annals of
a certain family, whose ancestors were
pioneers, was no such amiable crea ture
Neither was it an ordinary cat, nor
was the cheese an ordinary cheese.
Little Lucy, eight years old, was
sent to neighbours two miles distant
on an errand. The road. although
scarcely more than a track. ran through
cleared land, except for few rods Of
wood, and was supposed to be safe.
But in the woods the child became
aware that something, skulking and
rustling in the underbrush was follow
ing her. She ran, and emerged safely
into the open, but to her horror Wild
cat, which must have been extraordi-
narily hungry, burst boldly out of the
brush, and came bounding down the
road In pursuit.
The farmhouse was in sight, and she
screamed for help; but it was plain
she must be overtaken before help
could come.
Just as the creature was about 10
spring upon her, the little girl, with a
desperate flash of courage, stopped,
faced it, and with arms extended hori-
zontally, began whirling wildly around
and round. She kept whirling till she
was breathless and dizzy, then dipped
quickly to the ground, and with her
distended skirts made a cheese"
These amazing proceedings so discon-
certed the wildcat that although it re-
mained glaring and growing near by,
1t did not dare to pounce. BY the time
1t gathered courage to crouch again
for a spring, Lucy gained greath for
another whirl and again her dizzily
mysterious gyrationS averted the at
tack. Three times she whirled and
made a cheese" then a lad from the
house, who had heard her cry, ran up
with his gun and shot the cat
The skin he gave to Lucy, whom he
afterward married, and the tippet made
from 1t was duly handed down with the
story to another Lucy. But furs are
pershable, and Lucy's Lucy can only
pass on the story to Lucy the fourth
Youths Companion.

EFFECTs OF OPIUM
Tho Drug VIII Stupefy Some People
and Excite Others

Tno Drug Will Stupefy Some People
and Excite Others.
Comparatively few persons know
what opium really Is. When they turf
to dictionary and CLEAN therefrUr
that 1t Is the "insplssated juice of the
somniferous poppy" they are still like
ly to be in the dark
! The process of obtaining 1t is tc
score the pods at fixed intervals during
certain period. The milky LIQUID
which comes out soon turn a darker
hue and thickens and it then scraped
Off and nodded into cakes, with poppy
leaves for an outside covering.
1t was ascertained from evidence af-
forded to the Indian opium commission
Of 1896 that In some states Of India
not few Of the natives took as much
as forty to eighty grains of opium
daily and that consumption of forty
grains was common.
Contrary to the impression that death
results from sudden cessation of the
habit, 1t has been proved that when
SO'AAAAiSu opiiul nave btcu uE-
prived temporarily Of their favorite
drug their health has not usually suf-
fered.
The article has varying effect on
different races and constitutions, ex-
citing some and stupefying others. 1t
reduces the average Chinaman to a
state of torpor if he takes it plentiful
ly and not infrequently causes the Ma
lay to run amuck. 1t has been record
ed that the japanese regularly took it
before going to fight so as to wark
themselves up to pitch of excitemtN.
Most Of the drug that is imported
into England Is much stronger than
what is ordinarily consumed in India
and imported into China. The stipula-
tion of the British pharmacopoeia is
that all opium used incidentally shall
yield at least 912 per cent of anhydrous
The morphia percentage in much of
the opium prepared in India for con-
there and expectation to Chi
na is less than half this specific
strength. This is detail which novel
Ists who are addicted to poisoning their
characters should note.
1t is rather striking that opium does
1ot seem to be largely resorted to in
India as means Of suicide. The evil

for her lack of banking knowledge
There is no denying it, however; she
is funny when she gets tangled up in
the paraphernalia of finance. The Den
yer Post tells this tale:

ago, received the following letter from
a lady well known in social circles:
"Gentlemen-Please stop payment on
the check l wrote out to-day, as l acci-
dentally burned it up. Yours.
MRS. BLANK"

fatal SyIuDtOm.

The professional auctioneer, having jus,
told the crowd the usual story to the
effect that the watch he was trying tc
sell was a full jeweled timepiece, with
chronometer balance and solid gold-filled
case, suddenly felt himself blushing at
the aged and venerable lie.
Great snakes. :" he said to himself.
That's the first time such thing has
happened to me in thirty-seven years
1t means either softenin of the brain or

lent partner that he had retired from the
business for good and all.
