THE PACI
Telegraph Company, and eventually
dot-dashed itself into the ear of OPP
orator Branch It was a message di-
rected to Expert Isbell. Branch wrote
ont the message, although he only re-
eeived il in incomplete sentences. and
rewirelessed il to Mr.. Isbell, who IS
on Hawaii making tests to establish
new wireless station there. The mes
SAGE was signed Hanscom. who IS one
of the exrerts of the Navy, stationed
at Mare Island Hanson stated that
he was coming to Honolulu on the
next transport.
The coming of Hanscom may mean
that the naval wireless plant is to be
rehabihtated or established at an
other point. probably at Pearl Harbor.
The present station at the Naval Sta
rion Honolulu, is far from being use
full. as its transmitting and receiving
power is limited.

bv Captain EflliasTni Howe and Carl
Lehners. u s. Inspectors of bulls and
boilers. the officers returning last sat
urdav from Hawaii on the Mauna kea.
CAPTAIN Howe says of the trip:
eve are very much pleased with the
result Of our trip. We found the ships
all in good shape and also found that
the law is being complied with. There
is one boat being built by japanese
that looks as though it might require
registration, owing to its size. but IN all
other instances we found that every
thing is in compliance with the law.
Customs Collector Baird of HilO de-
serves much credit for the manner IN
which he has kept watch of all mat
ters pertaining to ship inspection.
At the time that the japanese there
were exhibiting their whale he descend
ed upon them and demanded that the
launch owners show their licenses to
carry passengers. In every instance he
found a licensed operator on board, the
owners having secured them from some
place for the occasion. We found no
cause for complaint anywhere.
