ROCK FOR THE
BREAKVA9ER
BLASTING BIG CHUNKS OF STONE
IN PUMA FOR HILO HARBOR
PROTECTION.
Especial Correspondence

kAPOHO, Hawaii, November IL
Forty-five men are now busily engaged
at Kapoho getting out rock for the
breakwater. From morning till night
the precipitous cliff some fifty feet in
height, is being attacked with giant
powder. Immense segments of stone,
rent from the solid front, roll thunder
ously to its base, anG a crowd of care
free Hawaiians, perched on the top
of the precipice, enjoy the exhibition
every day.
The larger rocks are again subjected
to treatment with giant powder till
they average somewhere round eight
tons, when they are loaded on the
cars by a powerful crane and rushed
to their final resting place in the wa
ters of Hilo bay.
A spur of the railroad follows the
base of the cliff for some five hun
dred yards and as the cliff recedes un-
der the assaults to which it is sub
jected, the rails are re-aligned close
to its base. Hawaiians, Japanese and
Americans are employed, under the SUI
pervision of j. M. Jones, an old Colo
RADIO and Nevada miner, who is very
familiar with this class of work.
The inhabitants of Kapoho, Puma and
other places are circulating a petition
praying for the establishment of a
nOstoffice at Puma The mail facilities
are certainly wretched, and with the
increase of population in the neigh
borhood it is to be hoped that Uncle
Sam will accommodate us in this res
peet.

of prominent Honolulu people last

Primarily there was nothing start
ling in the interrogation, made by
lady who has been reading of the Won

but, secondarily, there was the excite

"Why, how did such a question oc-

"A very dear friend of mine, said
the first lady, who was a great cleo
trician and something of a discoverer
and whose name would at once be re-
cognized, should mention it, once took
particular pains to explain to me the
close association of the familiarity with
electricity and that state of mind we
sometimes see in others and which
leads us to call them psychics.

ERuPTIvE
AND PETERS WAGE
PICKWICKIAN WARFARE OF
WORDS IN COURT.

| There is plenty of excitement in the
trial of Kimura, who is before Judge
Robinson charged with assault with
a deadly weapon. The assault took
place at the Moana Hotel, where the
defendant is alleged to have chopped
up one of the Chinese cooks with
big carving knifo. II the scene was
any more interesting than that in
court this morning when Attorney
Prosser and Peters were venting vo-
lumes of verbal lava at each other,
it must have been a wonder Each
side was accusing the other of having
tried to settle the case for a none
tary consideration and the words false
and falsehood were mixed in the con-
versation more than once.
Though both are big enough to eat
an ordinary sized man at a gulp, there
was nothing of the sort, the occasion
being one of that pleasantly which
lawyers create against each other
when in the heat of case and forget
five minutes later Peters is attempt
ing to show that his client acted in
self defence, though he has not yet
placed any witnesses on the stand.
According to Prosser the affair was an
outrageous one in which the Japanese
wilfully cut up an innocent Chinese.

1t really does look very serious for
w. c. Achi, the politician and real
estate dealer, whose land transactions
are being Investigated by Deputy At
torney General Whitney under instruc-
tions from Chief Justice Hartwell of
the Supreme Court. The first COM
plant that was made against Achi
came through Mrs. Hiram, who had
paid Achi $3.50 for land to which she
never received title, but since that the
complaints have been coming in with
great regularity, and each complainant
who calls on the Deputy Attorney Gen
eral gives the names of others.

Up to the present time there have
been eight cases, all practically similar,
that have been investigated, but there
are many more to look into, all OF
which will be examined before any de-
finite step is taken AS has been said
before there appears to be no sense in
the bringing of civil suits, as there are
judgments on file against Achi which
aggregate many thousand dollars, but
which cannot be collected. AT the
present time the question seems to be
whether there will be criminal proceed
ings brought or whether the steps for
disbarment will be all that the charges
ensure at the hands of the courts.

wireless lines He described what is
considered was necessary in a man to
make an ideal wireless operator, in
other words he said that the only
really successful wireless operators,
men who can catch messages at dis
tances greater than can the ordinary
man, even with the same apparatus,
must be psychics, and that their ge-
MUS, their mental atunement, their
personal electric force and even their
spiritual bent, we're all part and parcel
of what goes to make up an unusually
clever wireless operator. have never
seen Mr.. Isbell, but from what I've
read of his success, I'm convinced that
he is a psychic and, moreover, that It
would be impossible to injure him by
electricity"
There was present at the gathering a
theosophist who remarked that there
had always been wireless between
minds and that perhaps the materiali-
zation of thought transference in the
form of wireless telegraphy was some
thing so sympathetic to unmechanical
mental telepathy that familiarity with
one helped to develop the other and
that this might explain IsbeL's great
success.
