THE HOODOO
FIRE BOX

Everybody is familiar with the re
spect paid to the thirteen" supersti
ton in hotels and steamers, by elimin
ating the unlucky number from thu
enumeration OF chambers and state
| rooms. In those cases the cause is M
doubt generally strictly business
one 1t is not so much, that hotel keep
ers and steamship owners are super
stitious as that they recognize thu
wide prevalence of the weakness in tn,
general public. So many people vii
not voluntarily occupy a room num-
bered 10. 1t is easy to avoid trouble BY
having no room with that number.
Perhaps the Honolulu Fire Depart
ment furnishes the first instance under
the American flag. II not any national
banner, of stamping the thirteen su-
perstition with official recognition
This it has done In the late readjust-
ment Of signal boxes in the electric fire
alarm system.

good many Arms have originated from

latter 1t Is what might have been ex-
pected from the location of the box
at one OF the most deserted points in
town after nightfall excepting for stag
gering sailors and other waterfront
The sight of the box must
have made the fingers OF many a stray
roisterer itch to have some fun at tho
expense of the fire ladies.
Whether from the tally of the record
or not, the department concluded that
box Is gave it more running for its
payroll than any other. Therefore, in
the new schedule box 10 is located at
Beretania and Alakea streets. This
being within sight and stones throw

STORM AFTERMATH
From TIE BEACH

Waikiki suffered greatly at the hands
of the storm which has prevailed for
the last few days. Many fine trees
have been blown down. breaking tele-
phone and electric light wires ana
leaving great gaping holes where the
roots should be.
The Seaside Hotel received the most
damage caused by the fall of large
algaroba tree over the arbor next to
the dinningroom. The hotel was with
out electric lights on Wednesday night.
as another tree fell on the wires and
broke the connection. The large tree
at the entrance is uown.
The Moana Hotel sustained no dam
age whatever. A couple of canoes
were out yesterday but no bathing was
INDUCED in. The novelty of the baths
has In all probability. something to do
with this.
A large number of trees at the Kunst
property were blown down. otherwise
no damage occurred. Prisoners are al
work bringing the wreck OF the III
fated schooner Lavinia, which was
wrecked last Sunday. to shore. They
have the wreckage nearly all In. Al
boat load OF men rows out to the reef
and fastening pieces of the wreck to
the boat. drags them to shore.
The sand on the beach has not piled
up as was to be expected. Several OF
the Waikiki residents say that the surf
has not been much higher during the
storm than at any other time.

Tatuets for Anolers,

Not long ago several wood disks,
one foot in diameter, painted white,
and each provided with a line and q
lead weight, were placed in the pool
in Central park, this city, by
the Anglers club, for targets for fly
and baitcasting. As granitoid walk
adjoins the eastern end of the pool,
and the targets furthest from the
casting platform are near this walk.
thousands of park visitors worry the
lives out Of the policemen and park
employees with questions relative to
the purpose of the white disks. They
have been asked II the strange things
are early lilypads and-everything un-
der the sun an idle lounger can i'm
agine. One of the patrolmen told me
the other day that his naturally sweet
temper had been ruined since the ap'
pearance of them things But the
most curious questions Of all was
fred at me one day as ! watched the
anglers practicing.
Are those tin cans used In fish
breeding?" asked the visitor.
What cans?" / queried, not grasp
ing his meaning.
"Why, those tin cans In the lake?'

In small church in one Of the min.

about the size and shape Of a fou'
barrel, was elevated from the floor
about four feet and was fastened to
the wall. The ascent was by narrow
winding steps.
A minister from neighboring town.
a man OF great vigor and vehemence,
preached there one Sunday. While
preaching he bent forward and shout.
ed out with great force the words OF
his text:
1.-THE righteous shall stand, but the
wicked shall fall"
lust as these words escaped from
his lips, the pulpit broke from its
fastening. and he fell out and rolled
over on the floor before his congre
cation. In an instant he was on his

Missionary Says We Will Do Well
Not to Undere stmate Brown Men.

San Francisco.-The Rev. Henry c.
Mabie, general secretary of the AM
erican Baptist Mission union, re-
turned from the Orient Thursday on
the steamship Korea. He has been on
a four months tour of the Orient, in
speeding the mission stations. He
gave careful study to the Japanese
question and says that Americans
should be warned against underesti-
mating Japan's strength.
"They have a standing army of a
million men," he said, land their drill
work is not the performance Of per-
functory evolutions. They go at 1t In
the greatest earnestness. Every day
of their lives they are put through
the jiu jitsu exercises and the result
is a stocky, straight setup soldier, as
square cut and trim as the English
Tommy Atkins ever was. No nation
can afford to hold the Japanese eff.
ficiency or valor in contempt"

New Austrian Railway.

Hitherto tourists from the United
States who chose the southern trip to
Europe left the steamer at Gibraltar
or Naples, but many, chiefly those
who had already been in Italy, now
come to Trieste and continue from
here their voyage by the new Aus
trian railway. There can hardly be
more beautiful country than the
regions which are made accessible by
this new Transalpine railroad. The
new railway is owned by the state,
and is 1870 miles long. There are 4s
tunnels, with total length of ten
miles. There are so bridges, one OF
which, across the river Izonzo, has
the longest stone span in the world
There are, besides, as many as SIS
