GREAT OCTOPUS
SAFELY LANDED
Fisherman's Struggle With a
DsviIfish on Allen Street
Wharf.

An immense squid took the bait of a
fisherman casting his line from the Al
len street wharf yesterday afternoon,
and after hard struggle was pulled
out of the water.
Brook Amin, a part Chinese boy, was
fishing from the Iumberyard wharf with
hook and line when he felt pull at his
line which he thought to be caused by
an ulua. The line was very stout one
and Amin held on with might and main.
Unable to get the devilfsh out of the
water and fearing to be pulled in him
self, the fisherman shouted for help, and
several people, attracted by his cries,
were soon on the scene and assisted
the boy to pull the great octopus from
the water.
The squid was taken to nearby
scale, and weighed fifteen pounds. Its
length from tentacle to tentacle was
over eight feet.
An old waterfronter who saw the
squid said that it was the largest that
has been caught in the harbor for It
long time; in fact, the only one which
has been taken with hook and line for
years
Every now and then report goes
the rounds of great squid which has
been seen in the harbor, and about a
year ago an octopus weighing well over
twenty pounds was speared by torch
light near the Healani boathouse.
After the great kona of 1902, d see
ton of tentacle of squid was found
in the mass of seaweed which had ac-
cumulated in the harbor, which was as
thick as a grown mans thigh.
Now and again immense squids are
seen by the fishers along the reef, but
they are usually left alone, for they
are ugly customers to tackle, especially
in a boat.
One of the large octopi is known to
haunt seawall near Kaalawai, and is
occasionally seen by fishermen toward
the time of sunset. It's body is as big
as a man IS head, and it appears to fire.

HAWAII JAPANESE WON
EXAMINER $4,000

NJ. Mochihata, japanese cane
planter, of Kaumana, Hawaii, has been
notified that he has drawn the ten
thousand dollar prize given by the San
Francisco Examiner to one of its sub
scribers. He has been notified of the
coming of the money, but refuses to
believe that there is that much money
in the world until he sees it piled up
in front of him and can handle it. Not
that Mochihata is a poor man, for the
Scriptural maxim that to him that hath
shall be given is proved in this case.
He has over two thousand dollars saved
up from the results of his labor al
ready, and the prize money will make
him a wealthy man.
Mochihata is one of the three or four
hundred japanese who take the Exam
liner regularly, although unable to read
a word of English, subscribing for that
intellectual journal on tie same basis
that they buy chefa tickets. So little
does the winner of the premier prize
know of English that he carried the
letter OF notification around with him
for several days before he could get it
translated, and it was several days
more before he grasped the idea con-
veyed.

ever is going 10 be Speaker Of that
F House ought to have AT least the
training Of the last or short session
Of this Cong ess, not only to tit him
for his parliamentary duties. but
also to make a more il innate ac-
auaintance with the personnel on
the Democratic side than he per-
haps otherwise might have. IT,
upon the other hand, the next
E. House shall be Republican, the pre-
liminary training will be just as
+ necessary in order to fit him for
the very arduous duties of leader
ship during the S]xty-FIr-t Con-
gress.
