Had LAUGH ON SAILORS.
csvsirymen Turned the Tables on
biue-Cisd Hosts.

A jack tar from one OF Uncle Sans
bsttleshirs who was on a recent visit
TO Washington related I'm conversa.
ton with Star reporter an amusing
story OF how several cavalrymen of
the United States army turned the
tables on himself and several other
sailors. while the battleship was sta.
toned NJ Havana, Cuba
The sailors. who are up TO all kinds
OF tricks, were on shore leave one day
and invited number or the cavalry
men To take = sail with them. This
struck the fancy OF the army men. hut
before the trip was half over every
one or them had become seasick. much
20 the amusement OF the sailors. who
had a good. hearty laugh At their
guests expense. Upon returning TO
he shore the soldiers thanked them
for their trip and returned to their
quarters.
A few days later the cavalrymen
journeyed out to the battieship and In.
vfted the sailors who had been SO
kind az To give them a sail to take n
horseback ride about the island. The
sailors consented at once. IL devsl-
oped that TIE soldiers had picked out
the Understanding horses at the camp
for the sailors to ride. and as all know.
the army horses follow the leader as q
drove OF sheep. one big cavalryman
on a fine steed at once stuck his spurs
Into his horses slides, and he dashed
on at full speed. The others. on
which were the sailors, followed I'm a
line. This pace was kept up for about
nve miles. at the conclusion OF which
each sailor was either holding on TO
the saddle or had his arms about the
horses neck.
The sailors returned To their ship
In the afternoon. but all were so sore
from their horseback ride that they
could hardly stir from their hammocks
the next day. The cayslrymen came
out TO the ship bright and early and
invited them to take another ride. but
the sailors declined with thanks.

THE NORTHUMBERLAND
ntGr Cr-
DISEASES

The nonquarantinable diseases
should be studied by quarantine AMI
municipal sanitary officers with the
view of determining the exact bear
ing which these diseases have upon
the public health, and also whether
some of them should not he properly
classified as quarantinable.
The nonquarantinable diseases are
present throughout the Pacific Are
ma, although in location and degree
varying with the individual disease.
For example amaebic dysentery
will be found mostly in vessels from
the Philippine Islands ports while
bacillary dysentery usually comes
from the japanese ports. Both va
rieties of the disease. however. are
present in almost every port In the
Pacific Arena. Again beriberi is en-
countered most often in japanese int
migrants, and trachoma and anchy-
lostomiasis are seen principally IN
vessels from ports In the Orient. yet
trachoma and nchylostomiasis may
be found today In almost every port
in the Arena. On the other hand,
scarlet fever and diphtheria are sell
dom or never seen save in vessels
from North American ports.
With the expected development of
commerce these nonoquarantinable
diseases will be transmitted from port
to port until their geographical dis
tribution will become more even and
they will become distinct factors In
the mortality records of the various
municipalities. Scarlet fever and
diphtheria are both attended by such
relatively high mortality rate
among POlynesians, that these dis
eases should he regularly quarantin-
ed against at Polynesian ports.

ton, and its presence in China, ia
pan, Australia, and the Samoan ISL
ands is generally acknowledged

According to Manson, the Stego-
myia fasciata is the most widely dis
tiibuted mosquito known, being
found all around the tropical world
The reason for this. according TO
Giles, is the fact that the Stegomyia
fasciata is a good sailor. The in
crease of intercourse between the
lsthmian and South American ports
and those of Asia and the islands in
the Pacific Ocean, consequent upon
the general development of COM
merce in the Pacific Arena and the
opening Of the Panama Canal will
cause the Asiatic ports and those OF
the islands in the Pacific Arena TO
he constantly exposed TO infection
by yellow fever.

touatcIy increased viii show

That the increase in the trade iu tho

Jh1ngcs I'm the trade routes will In

suluto.
In the Report Of the Isthmlau Ca.
nal Commission It is predicted that
Tor each decade mp TO the opening Of
the canal, commerce in the Pacific
Ocean win increase 21g,. 1t is also
predicted that by the year 1924, traf-
Gc will be further increased by
62iaH Of what it Is at present. But
II is not the increase in the traffic
which interests the student Of quar-
gntinc so much as the new trade con-
npCtiuns which will be formed be-
tween disease centres hitherto wide
~ separated. The present trade
route between the Pacific Coast ports
and China and It's bearing upon the
transmission of qua ntin1ble dis
eases IS fairly well undcrHtuod at the
present time and ana increase in vol
umo OF that traffic can be easily met
by a relative increase In ndministra-
tive equipment But prospective
Increase of trade involving new
routes, new climates, and new DIS
eases naturally opens up new prob
lem in the quarantine work in the
Pacific Arena.
In considering the present and pros
pective trade In the Pacific Arena ami
it's probable bearing upon the gem
cral public health, mention Of the
principal ports and the character OF
the trade carried on In them will be
necessary.
The ports In the Pacific Arena may
be divided into North American. Cen
tral American. isthmian. South Amer
lean, Austraiasian, Philippine Island,
Pacific Island, Chinese and japanese.
The North American ports are the
shipping points for food products.
iron and steel manufactured sup
plies. the basic materials of industry.
and general merchandise The Gem
trail and South American ports are
the shipping points for wool, nitrate
of soda, sugar. ores. and cacao.
Through the Austrulasian ports are
shipped wool. coal. food supplies. and
raw materials. The Philippine ISL
ands export hemp, copra, sugar and
/ tobacco.
Through the Japanese ports are
! shipped raw silk. straw mattings,
rugs. tea, notions, rattan, cane, bam-

The trade between the Pacific coast
of the United States and the Hawaii

ways have the same relative bearing

owing to the efficient quarantine
work of the Public Health and Mar
Tie Hospital Service, and also that of
the Japanese Government, cholera
has been confined to the western
ports of the Pacific Arena. It is OF
vital importance that the island ports
of the MidPacific. the lsthmian. and
all South American ports be kept
free from this disease, both on ac-
count of the usual insanitary condi-
ton of these ports and the character
OF their respective populations.

Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1907-04-13

These statistics show such wide
spread infection of the Pacific Arena
with plague that not only may we
expect in the future a still further ex-
tension of the infection, but also that
the said infection will take on a gem
eral endemiclty.
