eminent.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE two
aeroplane flights by Orville Wright at
Fort Myer Wednesday, which broke
all records for distance and time, have
aroused officers of the navy to action.
Secretary Metcalf was one of the most
enthusiastic spectators of the flights,
and Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Newberry has been following the Fort
Myer tests closely. Lieut.. George c..
Sweet Of the bureau of equipment has
been detailed to observe the expert.
ments for the navy
Secretary Metcalf was asked Thurs.
day If the navy intended to buy an
aeroplane as beginning in the ap-
plication of aeronautics to that branch
of the service.
Il cannot say what we might do"
he replied "Of course we would need
funds for that purpose There is only
one reason that can see why Mr.
Wright's machine would be imprac-
ticable for use in the navy, and that
lies in his starting apparatus. An
officer has been detailed to observe
the flights and what we do will depend
largely on what is learned from these
tests"
Lieut.. Sweet has been present at
nearly every flight Of the Wright aero
plane at Fort Myer and was so deep
ly impressed by it's performances that
he suggested that the navy department
keep in close touch with the progress
made in aerial fight.
Invaluable in War at Sea.
1.-The aeroplane would prove inval-
liable in naval warfare" he said to an
army officer during Mr. Wrights flight
"Mr. Wright's machine requires a
speed Of "a miles an hour as an i'm.
petus to rise into the air. 1t would
therefore require no launching appa-
ratus if it were started from one of the
scout cruisers which make % or 23
knots an hour, or about 81 miles. 1t
could fly over the advance column of
an enemy's fleet and drop explosives
or obtain valuable information.
Instead of the skids which Mr.
Wright uses, for naval purposes the
aeroplane could be fitted with two
light water skids, similar to rowing
shells, SO that it could land on water
After the machine made a flight it
could be brought alongside Of the ship
and pulled out of the water by means
Of the davits.
"The bureau Of equipment has an
appropriation available for buying
equipment for vessels, and this money
could be used to buy an aeroplane
with which to make a start toward
building up an aerial fleet for the
navy"

Cannon Must Be Fired.

The old Danville smoothbore looks
like farmer; but that is acting. His
clothes may be the clothes of the farm
er, but his heart is the heart of Har-
riman or Rockefeller. His associ-
ations are with the plutocrats. He
swears like trooper SO as to be rated
as rough and gruff and honest; but
his millions are not derived from his
salary as congressman. Rather they
may be supposed to come from that
high finance with Wall street deals.
Do you want to make money by bet
ting? You ought not, but if you will bet
make list of the progressive measures
that have passed in Cannon time, and
bet that he has been against them.
The pure food bill, irrigation, forestry,
rate regulation, waterway improve
ment, everything good-Joe Cannon
has been against; but tariff bills writ
ten by the men who benefited by them,
lieu-laws for looting the public lands,
every scheme whereby private interests
could be fattened at the expense of
the people, for these our "Uncle Joe"
Uncle" in the sense of being the
pawnbroker of legislation-fo these
bad laws he has been enthusiastic.
And this man dominates this nation.
The speaker expects in the next ad-
ministration to stand more firmly in
the way of progress than ever before.
He is national menace, therefore,
a national issue. He rules by the
cowardice of our congressman. We
cannot all vote in his district, but we
can all choose between his tools among
congressman and those who will tear
him from the speakers chair.
Cannon must be fired!
If your nominee will not agree to re-
volt from his rule, vote against him.
Bolt the nomination of a Cannon tool.
1t is strong medicine, but the disease
is fatal to the part that suffers from it.

Nature has provided the stomach with
certain natural fluids known as the di-
gestive juices, and it is through these
juices that the food we eat is acted
upon in such way as to produce the
rich, red blood that flows through the
veins of our body and thereby makes
US strong, healthy and robust, and it is
the weakening of these digestive juices
that destroys health. 1t is our own
fault if we destroy our own health, and
it is so easy for anyone to put the
stomach out of order. When you need
to take something take it promptly,
but take something you know is reii-
able--some thing like Kodol For Dys-

anteed to give relief. 1t is sold by +.

SwimmiugSu Suggested as
Local Scholastic
Sport

Swimming as an interscholastic
sport in which the various athletic
clubs shall also take part was sug-
gested by prominent supporter Of
local athletics this morning. The
suggestion comes in close accord with
very greatly stimulated interest
this year among the secondary
schools of the Pacific Coast in the
sports of swimming and water polo.
Punahou and the Diamond Heads
have once in the past gotten togeth-
er a swimming team apiece. and have
held meet, and the proposition now
on foot is to enlarge this plan. so
as to take in the High School and
Kamehameha Schools and st. Louis
College. The usual forms of compe-
tition would be used.
The proposition seems particularly
happy, with the facilities afforded
the sport of swimming in Honolulu.
The climate is ideal for 1t, and at the
beach and the boat houses fine oppor-
NuhiticS ioi pidNtNt arc oheieu.
Further than this, most Honolulu
boys are adopts in the water, and al
most all of the institutions have men
more or less expert in this branch of
sport.
Just why interscholastic swimming
as pastime has not been introduced
here before seems difficult to explain.
Swimming is so extensively INDUCED
In throughout the year that 1t APP
pears very strange that a league for
the purpose of controlling swimming
races and water polo has not been
formed.
II has been said that Punahou Col
lege would have big advantage over
other schools in this respect. as the
men there could practice in the tank
which they have on their campus.
But facilities for swimming are so
common In Honolulu that this could
not present any very great difficult
ties.
1t seems one of the sports which Is
perfectly suited in every way to this
city.

from the shoulder.
Besides good living in general
way, of eating. sleeping, and the
like, he stressed much good living In
the absolute, abstinence from smoke
works and from the Joys Of the
booze-factory.
Doctor Roller always talks strong
ly on these subjects. but never more
strongly has he talked than he did
last evening. The most startling OF
his illustrations he took from the
records of the five leading wrestlers
at present in the United States
among whom all know the Doctor
