Tubes
Explode
Accident to Boilers Tied Up
Rapid Transit.

| I1ONOLULO, April ~. IlOllO-
lulu was yesterday given an oppor-
tunity to appreciate the good service
of the Honolulu Rapid Transit Com
pany such as it has never experience
ed before. Two seemingly unavoid-
able accidents at the power house,
one in the morning and one in the
evening paralyzed the system for
several hours and made people walk
to and from church or seek hacks
and automobiles; and in this adj
ditional energy of walking or the
additional expense of hiring rigs
they were enabled to appreciate
what the cars of the Rapid Transit
system mean to them.
At 9:15 O'Clock in the morning
lower tube in boiler No. 1 in the
Rapid Transit power house, Alapai
street, burst and that boiler was put
out of commission. Fortunately
nobody was hurt in the morning
except that one of the firemen was
slightly scalded about the hands
and arms.
Less than ten hours elapsed when
a similar accident occurred and two
men were hurt.
Nothing could have been a great
er surprise than the bursting of the
lower tube in No. |. 1t was only a
few days ago that the boiler was
cleaned and everything that is re-
quired to be done by ordinary regu-
lations in the conduct of boilers had
been done, and more.
All the chief engineer can say in
this connection is that there may
have been a case of crystallization
in the tube which caused the
trouble, crystallization through
vibration, or otherwise; there is no
means of arriving definitely at the
cause, the unfortunate occurrence
being one of those inexplicable
events which occasionally take place
in spite of the best regulated obser-
vatiOn.
Of course the morning accident
affected the Easter Sunday morning
church crowd and, as luck would
have it, the second accident, came
in the evening just about the time
when it was up to the cars to handle
the home returning church crowds.
But it must be said for the manage
ment of the Rapid Transit that
could be done was done to alleviate
the inconvenience occasioned the
public by those remarkable ac-
cidents.
Announcements were made in all
the churches to the effect that the
car system had been seriously affect
ed by an accident and people were
advised how to connect with those
cars which were running.
Manager C. G. Ballentyne and
President E. Tenney Peck whisked
about in an automobile, as fast as
the law would permit, notifying
cars to go to the barn or continue
as the case might be, and leaving
notices at the churches and, this
being by no means the least of their
consideration, personally calling on
the brave men who were injured in
the accident of the evening
1t was about $50 in the evening
when a lower tube in No. 2 boiler
burst and the engine room of the
power house was for a few moments
filled with steam.
First Assistant Engineer Frank
Boyes, a faithful and trusted en-
ploye and a man of ready resource,
realized in flash what might happ-
en- if the fuel-oil feeding apparatus
was allowed to run after the escap-
ing steam had extinguished the
flame. He realized that there was

"A New Back For an Old One-HoW

The back aches at time with a dull,
indescribable feeling, making you weary

A. Austin Attempts Suicide.

A. Austin, who lives with bis daugh-
ter, Mrs. Frank Guess, two and one-half
miles northeast of Kellerton, attempted
to commit suicide by cutting his throat
about ten o'clock Tuesday forenoon.
Mrs. Guess and the children left in the
morning for visit with her sister at
Alton, Okla, and Mr.. Austin was in
tending to go to Redding in the after
noon to visit relatives. After packing
his clothing in basket and setting it
on the porch he went back to the bed.

forgotten, and it was while he was in
the bedroom that he cut his throat with
pocket knife. His grandson, Sidney
Guess, saw him and after attempting to
stop him, called for his father and
James Daniels, who were also at the
house. They succeeded in getting the
knife away from him but not until after
he had cut cash five or six inches
long.

The Woman's Home Companion fe r
November.

The November Jubilee issue Of the
Woman's Home Companion has special
interest, because it is the Seven Hun
dredth Number of the oldest living
Woman's Magazine. This issue of SS
pages, illustrated by famous artists,
contrasted with the little f1imsy SPACE
peared in 1875, is vivid reminder of
the great strides made in periodical
publishing. That old issue, popular in
it's day, is modest ancestor to the big,
influential magazine Of today.
This November issue, on which the
publishers have spent special effort, be-
cause of it's anniversary feature, con-
tains, in addition to it's regular depart
ments for women, two articles Of inn
portance to home jewellers and home
renters. These articles, with facts and
figures, show the advantage of owning a
home.
Jack London, who is going around the
world for Wnmans Home Companion in
his little boat the Shark, has in this
November issue an account of travel
adventure, rich with the spice Of the
South Seas.
A new novel by Florence Morse
Kingsley. entitled 1.-The Glass House,
begins in this issue. There are also
stories by Alice Brown, Juliet Wilbor
Tompkins, Mary Heaton Worse and
Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews.
A special article on Eyes by DR.
Woods Hutchinson is in that physicians
usual crisp style.
In addition to the usual household de-
partments, and the enlarged fashion de-
partment, there are many novel sugges
tions for Christmas gifts, ard some par
ticularly timely advice regarding the
buying Of furs.

RAISES TROUBLE;
HARVEST is BIG

HARPERSTOWN, Cal, Aug. g.
Sandy Bissert is now harvesting a
large crop of trouble. Mr.. Bissert says
it is the largest crop he has raised, and
he has been raising troubl1 now for
nearly ten years.
He believes that while trouble can be
raised without much trouble effort, still
agriculturists should take more care
with the crop than they have been in
the habit of doing.
Mr.. Bissert believes that farmers who
have in their youth sowed wild oats
are best fitted to the pursuit. He also
finds after some investigation that per-
sons who are acquainted with irriga-
ton do we'll in raising trouble. Those
accustomed to dry farming do not

The last crop of trouble consists
mainly of scraps. He has also got in
some pickles. The scraps he intends to
put up in family jars. while he will set
the pickles away in hot water.
The farmer says that there is more
enjoyment in raising crop of trouble
than anything he knows of. Trouble
does not require much sunlight and Will
grow at night as we'll as by day.
Trouble can be raised at home as
well as in the country, al. there have

NEW GYMNASIUM
FOR HOLLYWOOD
PLANNED FOR USE OF HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS
EQUIPMENT TO BE THOROUGHLY
DOWN TO DATE
Outlook for Strong Baseball, Football
and Track Teams Not Good-c.
Webster of Michigan En-
gagged as Coach
BY RED PERKINS

Hollywood high school athletes are
to have new gymnasium when they
return to school next month, and 1t
Is proposed that it shall be thoroughly
modern in every respect. 1t will be
two stories in height, 60x80 feet in
size, and will be equipped with all the
paraphernalia necessary for the COM
fort and convenience of the students.
Shower baths, of course, Will be IN
cluded as a part of the modern equip
ment and handball and tennis courts
will be built for the use of the stu
dents who desire to use them. Inc
baseball diamond and the athletlc
field also will have thorough prep
aration for the activities of the fall and
winter season.
Despite this very pleasant outlook
the prospects for strong athletic teams
next season are not at all pleasing
to those interested. GraduationS have
taken away many of the crack foot
ball and baseball players, track men
and even the tennis experts of the
school are fewer than was the case
last season.
Charles A. Webster, formerly of the
Michigan state normal school, has
. been engaged to coach the athletes for
next season, he having accepted the
appointment as athletic director. This
is considered an important move by
the faculty, as Webster ranks highly
among the successful coaches of last
season in the east, and comes well
recommended for the position. His
team won The football championship of
Michigan in 1905.
Among the crack athletes of the
school last year who will be missing
next season are Edwin Wallace and
Clinton Carlock. Wallace played tackle
in a most satisfactory manner and Car
lock played fullback in equally as cred
liable a manner. Both will go to the
northern universities next season.
= Douglass, who with Wallace won the
tennis doubles at the county high
school tournament last year, is another
who will be missing next fall.
The baseball team also will suffer in
this regard. as at least two of the Hol-
lywood crack ball tossers will go to
Stanford next winter. Harry and John
Cover were the mainstays of the team
last season, Harry playing short and
captaining the team while his brother
John put up star infield game. Harry
ended the season with a batting aver
age of 1888
Despite the gloomy outlook Webster
expects to put winning teams in the
field Nothing short of winning base
ball, football and track teams will
satisfy him and if the raw material can
be wiped into expert form he will put
them through the traces. Indoor
games, such as handball and basketball
also will receive more than ordinary
attention next season, as already there
is much planning regarding these
branches of sports and good material
is in prospect for them.

FARMERS RAISE CROPS-BARNS TROUBLE, FRElG
RAISING BARNS
FROM BARNACLES

BARI. lGAT, Cal. Aug. Barn
raising will be popular rural pursuit
this fall. The crop of barns raised.
while not large will be extremely val
uable. it being a matter of record that
one barn raised near here was worth
$11 900. That was an exceptionally
large barn and was raised from Sc
lected seed in a dollhouse.
BARNS are raised from barnacles.
This fact is not widely known; in fact,
II Is inst becoming known, and there
are skeptical persons who still doubt
II. In raising barns the barnacles
should be taken when quite young and
placed in moist soil. They should be
given plenty of light.
When they have sprouted they should
he transplanted, and along about the
1st of June they should be placed on
the spot where it is intended to raise
the barn. The weeds should be kept
down. -,
The barn natures late in the fall,
and II is at this critical time that many
persons are required to assist In the
raising. Some barns are raised In the
spring, but they are apt to be weak and
small.
Barnacles that have been brought up
on wood raise the best barns for this
climate, although experiments are be-
ing made with barnacles found on
iron. The objection to these Is that
the barns are apt to be rusty.

The first field day ever held under
the auspices of the boys who are at
tending the Harvard summer school
was pulled off Saturday in "apple pie"
order. Enthusiasm ran high during the
meet. One of the remarkable features
of the event was the fact that Fischer,
14-year-old student, won first place in
every event. Second place in the diff

Castro and Brown. Fischer received
30 points, Brown is and Castro IA.
The average age of the boys who were
in the meet was 12is years, and it was
the first athletic tournament in which
any of them had ever participated.
Coach Hamilton acted as starter, and
he said the youngsters were thoroughly
enthused and carried themselves adj
mirably. Many of the friends and
parents of the boys attended and were
well pleased with the sport.

RAILWAY FARMERS
RAISING THE RATES

SUNDERLAND, Cal, Aug. "a
number of railway farmers have
started an agitation to raise freight
rates. believing that if they succeed
the venture will mean large returns
for the crop.
Not everybody can raise freight rates,
nor would everybody desire to do 1t.
For raising rates is about as pleasant
thing for the country in general as
raising the Canada thistle, which legis-
latures have declared to be a common
nuisance.
The railroad men say that they have
been raising wages and everybody
seemed tickled. They cannot under
stand why any objection should be
raised to further experiments along
agricultural lines.
They say that once they succeed in
raising the rates and shippers see what
they look like no protests will be made
Objection has been made that when
freight rates begin to grow they spring
up so fast that no person can tell Just
where they will stop, and the growth
to use farmers expression, is rank
Still the railroad farmers have al
ready planted the seed and they are
now watering it with stock,
