HANDLING GREAT GUNS.

The work of the discharge of the
Diamond Head fort armament has ex-
cited admiration among all who in any
way observed the operations. In San
Francisco it took over eleven hours
to place in the hold of the S. s. Hilo-
MAN five 15-ton mortars, two 17-ton
sections of carriages and several S-ton
pieces, besides a large number of
smaller sections, but here in Honolulu,
and herein are the facilities of the
port well illustrated, it took less than
six hours to put ashore the 200 tons
of war material which had been loaded
in the City of the Golden Gate.
Captain Peter Johnson of the Hilo-
MAN, who superintendent the special
arrangement of heavy tackle necessary
to the delicate and somewhat danger
Gus discharge of the ordnance, de-
serves great credit for the mastery
manner in which the work was per-
formed, and to Harry Denison of the
Oahu Railway & Land Co., who saw
to the placing of the guns and car
riages on fiat cars for moving to the
railway yard, much credit is also due.
From the railway yard the Honolulu
Construction & Draying Co. takes the
great guns and the rest of the mate
rial. Already have the drays of this
company transported the smaller Sec
tons of the Diamond Head battery
to their destination, and the big truck
capable of handling twenty-five tons,
will in day or so be ready to con-
vey the heavy pieces to the end of the
island

THOUGHT DETECTIVES
WERE HOLDUP MEN

A Rapid Transit conductor telephoned
to the police shortly after midnight
yesterday morning that there was a
suspicious character hanging around
the corner of King and South streets,
who, he feared. was a footpad with
designs on his money belt. The story
he told the police was that the man
had stepped out suddenly before him
from behind the tin sign board that
beauties the corner. but had promptly
stepped back again out of sight as soon
as he, the conductor, pulled his trans
fer punch out of his pocket and made
a noise like a gun man. The police
were inclined to be scepticaI of any
holdup artist being abroad. but posse
of plainclcthes men, headed by Chief
Taylor, went out to investigate. Then
there was a holdup and merry chase
to the music of a barking six-shooter.
The police Were scouting about
through the bushes at that corner
when someone came tiptoeing through
the lot from the direction of Kewalo.
The police stopped in the shadows and
waited They were suspicious. So was
the one approaching. who stopped
short a hundred yards away and shifted
for danger. He winded something. for
he wheeled and made a break back for
the waterfront and the posse streamed
after him. Halt or I'll fire. yelled
Espipda, but there was nothing doing
in the hesitating line and the five bull
let's that whistled around him only
made the runner let out another notch |
Or two of speed. When he was finally |
winded he threw up both hands and |
told his pursuers to take what he had. |
but spare his life. He thought he was |
being held up and there had to be a |
general explanation all around

BUBBLE RACE
ON THE Taps

There is a proposition on foot to
have a five-mile automobile race at
Kapiolani Park next Saturday after
noon.
Two local owners of machines are
willing to compete with cars of as
nearly equal horsepower as possible,
and it is expected that arrangements
VIII be made for the race today.
The race will be run on the same
plans as the chariot races, each car
changing sides at each turn of the
track. The object of this is to ensure
safety and control of speed. AS a car
must slow up to change it's position.
the chance of accident is minimized.
Each of the racing cars must carry
it's full complement of passengers.
It is understood that E. H. Lewis
will be one of the contestants and that
Henry Lewis will do the driving.
Whether he will enter light or a
heavy machine is not known.
If the event comes off it is sure to
prove of a very exciting nature and
should draw a large crowd to the
track.

SEEING the Wind Blow.

Wind is air in motion. Sometimes
you hear people declare on a sultry
day that there is mo air" Of course,
that is impossible: there is always
plenty of air, but there is not always
a wind. Strange to say it is possible
10 see the wind, if the right means are
employed.
Take a polished metal surface OF
two feet or more. with a straight
edge; a large hand-saw will answer
the purpose. Take a windy day for
the experiment, whether hot or cold,
clear, or cloudy, only let it not be in
rainy. murky weather.
Hold your metallic surface at right
angles to the direction of the wind
j. e., if the wind is north, hold your
surface east and west, but instead of
holding it vertical incline it about AZ
degrees to the horizon, so that the
wind, striking. glances and flows over
the edge, as the water flows over a
dam. Now sight carefully along the
edge some minutes at sharply de-
fined object and you will see the wind
pouring over the edge in graceful
curves. Make your observations care
fully and you will hardly ever fail in
the experiment; the results are even
better if the SUN is obscured.

FATE AGAINST THEM
LOVERS ROMANCE SPOILED IN
STRANGE FASHION.
Letters "Posted" in Hollow Tree Be-
came the Sport of SquirreIs-Each
Probably Believed the Other
20 Be Untrue.

In the hollow of an old tree which
Richfield ". j., recently workmen
found two letters The first was in
a woman's hand. 1t said:
Dear JIM got your letter all
right the day it was left here-our
little post oflice-but it is only now
that l have had chance to leave a
reply. ] think you meant what you
said, although at times have believed
you were untrue. | have been watched
since your letter came, and had long
wait before the opportunity arrived for
me to slip out with the reply. | want
10 meet you some night-say, next
Thursday-and we will both go away
together. ! will be all ready, and if
you are not on hand and the letter is
gone I'll be convinced that you don't
want me. Then III go away myself,
and you'll never again hear from me.
Good-by.-Alice."
This was dated Wednesday, June
10. 1881. The other letter, written in
n mans hand, was dated ten days
later. 1t read thus:
Dear Alice: | have waited so
long for a reply that | have begun to
think that yo{l have gone back on me.
] have come ITO the tree many times,
and looked in vain for an answer.
Night and day l have thought of you,
wondering if it could be possible that
you had forsaken me. l have heard
oh h. e. ,nt
make myself believe that you care
for him. ! will wait five days more.
Then if ! don't hear from YOU | will
be convinced that | am not wanted.
After that | will leave you alone to
enjoy the happiness which you may
find with him. I'll go far away from
here and try to forget-Jim."
There was small opening in the
tree about seven feet from the ground.
From this opening the hollow, bored
,'out by squirrels, ran clear to the
ground. The woodchoppers believe
that the missives fell or were dragged
clear to the ground after they had
been deposited in the post office"
Alice" and Jim" were probably in
the habit of leaving letters in the
aperture, which could be taken out
with the hand until the squirrels had
bored up from the bottom and reached
the point where the letters lay soon
after the girl left her last message
there. Both letters were crumpled
and eaten away at the edges, giving
rise to the belief that they were prob
ably dragged down into the hollow
trunk by the squirrels.

BUYING PAINT BLINDLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as a lottery and so it is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with a fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly pat on and the
paint will stay put

Kindred Spirits.

Nothing is more certain than that
our manners, our civilization and all
the good things which are connected
with civilization, have in this Euro
pean world of ours, depended for ages
upon two principles, and were indeed
the result of both combined; / mean
the spirit of gentleman and the spir
it of religion. The nobility and the
clergy, the one by profession, the
other by patronage. kept learning in
existence even in the midst of arms
and confusion, and while governments
were rather in their causes than
formed. Learning paid back what il
received to nobility and priesthood
and paid it with usury, by enlargine
their ideas and by furnishing their
minds.-Edmund Burke.

WHY SHOULD THIS BE NECES-
SARY?
Five Thousand Crates Eggs Recently
Imported into This Country
from England.

Somewhere in this country there are
able bodied American hens that are
Sinking their duties. And they've done
this for some time. Otherwise, why
would America have to send to Eng
land for Eggs?
There are enough hens in this coun-
try TO keep us fully supplied with eggs
if every hen simply attends to her
business.
But often it isn't the hens fault that
she doesn't and cannot lay. Only
healthy hens lay eggs. This means
that poultry raisers must learn what
ails the hens that are not working and
then give them whatever will cure
their ailment, build up their system,
and help them to lay regularly.
The first thing to do is to get re-
liable book about poultry, and read
it. There are plenty that are so full
of big words that only the scientist
can understand them.
But there's one book that tells every
thing anybody ever wanted to find out
about poultry. A practical experience
