her father, Murata, had implored their
help and the police had set out on the
trail of the lover and his fellow alb

Yamagata had asked Murata for the
hand of his daughter, Ojitsuye, but
Murata had refused for the reason that
her fiance was expected soon from the
Orient. Whether Yamagata would

PIu|KIA STARTS OVER
AWNING ORDINANCE
Continued from Page One.)

To the Honorable the Board of SUI
pervisors, of the County of Oahu.
Gentlemen: The undersigned, prop
erty owners and taxpayers residing
within the County of Oahu, or, if nom
residents, duly represented, do hereby
humbIy pray that the Ordinance or
Order Number 9, and being entitled,
Regulating the construction and
maintenance of awnings, shades and
balconies within the fire limits of Ho-
nolulu,' be laid upon the table, or be
NOT enacted as an Ordinance or Order
The reason of this petition for such
action as the case may be, being that
the taxes on property and the income
tax paid are already heavy calls upon
the taxpayers, and the enactment of
this order will cause the outlay of
large sums of money without any re-
turns for such OUTLAWS, and without
being made necessary as a sanitary
measure, and is unnecessary, and in
all probability will cause the expendi-
ture of sums of money by Hawaiians
owning property within the fire limits
who can Ill afford to be called upon
for the outlay that the passage of this
order will necessitate.
And your petitions will ever pray:

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to Tabulate the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural
list endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind of attempt is sure
ly not without interest, but it must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species. and there is yet delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
AS Nurmann remarked to a recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalian" the species of rodents
known in 1880 were only go in num-
Der; now they are 1900. The num-
Der has thus, at least, doubled in 81
years. The number of living species
of this creature now known is about
1900, divided among $50 genera. This
family is the most numerous OF the
class of mammalia.-Wissen fur ALE

DOG SOLDIERS uNpt.a FIRE.
Successful Recent Experiments Made
In the German Army.

The use of dogs for military pur.
poses has proved so successful in Ger
many that the dog soldier is continu-
ally being taught new things. Near
Dresden recently there was a test of
skill which was a great revelation of
their Accomplishments.
Two mocpanies of soldiers separated
a distance of mile and quarter, one
OF them, supposed to be an outpost in
the face Of an enemy, communicated
for some time by the aid of dogs
trained to go back and forth. Each
time the distance betweenthe two COM
panies was traversed by the days in
less than two minutes, in spite of in
tense heat and great deal of con-
fusing firing.
The special object of the use of
these fast dogs is to enable detach-
ments of inform themselves of the
speed at which the enemy is approach.
ing and so to maintain a position up
to the last moment practicable.
On the same occasion the cartridge
dogs performed their peculiar duty,
wrich is to supply the troops with
cartridges during a rapid fusillade.
Each dog wears kind of pack saddle
which carries 800 cartridges. With
this load he travels up and down the
line of men, who help themselves to
cartridges as they have need.
AS soon as the pack saddle is empty
the dog. at command, makes off at
full speed to get it replenished.
Every one has heard of the dogs Of
the "pious monks of st. Bernard"
which are supposed to have a sort of
monopoly of the accomplishment of
serving the wounded and helpless and
calling assistance for them. But the
German military hive dogs trained to
search out and attend the wounded
and call human assistance.
These dogs of the ambulance corps
are trained to divided duties. Some Of
them. carrying little flash of water
or restorative, simply sit and bark or
bay near the body of a fallen man.
Others have been trained to go in
search of assistance and guide a SOL
der of the ambulance corps.
The trained dogs performed all
these functions very sklllfully at the
recent trial near Dresden. 1t is plain
that the German army. if it should be
engaged in another war, would be &C.
companied by greater number of
dogs than ever before accompanied an
army on a campaign.

ADVICE TO VICTIMS
TELLS READERS HOW TO CURE
RHEUMATISM AT HOME.
Directions to Mix a Simple Prepare
ton and the Dose to Take-Over-
comes Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Promptly.

There is so much Rheumatism every.
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read,
ers Of large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one,
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic.
tins OF this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture, and
in most cases a permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.
