SCHEME TO DEFEAT
GEO. CHAMBERLAIN

Portland, Ore, Nov. 11.-What is
probably long looked for scheme to
nullify the popular nomination OF
George C. Chamberlain, Democrat, by
the Republican electorate command
ing about $4,000 majority in this
state, has, it is thought, materialized.
Fifty-one of the legislators are bound
by pledge to vote for Chamberlain as
having received the highest number
of votes in the last previous general
election. The plan is to circulate
documents for signature absolving
legislators who signed the pledge
from adhering to promise. The views
OF the promoters Of the scheme terse-
ly expressed it thus: I'VE are con-
WINGED that the state which gave
Taft $4,000 plurality does not want
a Democratic u. s. senator"

HOW RAIN FALLS IN HONOLULU
Remarkable Variation in Amount OF
Rain Within Small Area-HoW
Strangers Are Puzzled.

Honolulu, Hawaii, Oct. 10, 1908.
The most perplexing thing about
Hawaii's climate to the new arrival,
is the matter of rainfall. You begin
to experience this perplexity before
you have set foot on the dock at Ho-
nolulu, when you consult anxiously
with your fellow travellers as to the
advisability of digging out an UNI
brella or rainproof before you go
ashore, The chances are that you
are all convinced that the heavy veil
Of black clouds which shuts out por-
lions of the mountain scenery from
view, and the few drops OF rain which
the fresh shore breeze dashes in your
face like flashing jewels torn from
that bit OF. rainbow, are warnings too
plain to be ignored, and you prepare
accordingly for the downpour which
seems imminent.
You observe with some surprise
that none of the wearers of the dam
ty costumes you pass on the street
appear to be in the, least perturbed
by the possibility of getting caught in
that impending shower, until after
a while it dawns on you that the
storm keeps right on impending
and nothing more. AS you ride in
