CEN, MCCLELLAN WOULD
USE MORTAR BATTERY
To CURE THE DROUTH

Editor Advertiser: I would like to
suggest to the members of the. Pro-
motion Committee a use for the NOR
tar battery at Diamond Head-an
idea which may not have occurred to
them.
We have had dry weather of late and
the want of rain is beginning to pe
felt in Honolulu. way of producing
rain is now at hand, and on many
days, when clouds hang over the
mountains and rain threatens, but does
not fall, 1 believe it could be pro-
duced by firing the mortar in the new
battery at Diamond Head.
Many experiments of this kind have
been tried and some have been sue
cessful.
1t is well known that sudden shock
administered to the air will cause the
condensation Of the moisture into
drops, provided, of course, there is
sufficient moisture present in the air.
On this principle, all the experiments
for breaking droughts by firing cannon
have been based.
The ordinary observer must have
noticed that during a thunderstorm it

TIE IRRIGATION RULES.

Editor Advertiser: II is very un-
fortunate if at this time. when we are
about to spend a considerable amount
of money to make the city look at
tractive to the fleet, II is going to be
necessary to restrict further the irri-
cation privileges. Such restrictions
for the period from this time until
the middle of July will do more to
than can be made up in any amount
of decoration. While small grounds
might be kept in fairly good condi-
tion with two hours of irrigation, the
larger ones could not. The published
notice would restrict all users of
water, while the shortage is in the
Nuuanu supply, I presume. as we
have heard nothing about any great
drop in the artesian level Is IL nee

generally rains harder just after a
loud clap of thunder.
Well, what I mean to say is that.
when the mortars are in position at
Diamond Head, very good imitation
thunder will be produced when they
are fired, and if there is sufficient
moisture in the air above rain may
be produced and this mortar battery
be fhe means of making an experiment
which may be of vast Importance to
Honolulu and the Island of Oahu
Of course, the government will not
give the expensive smokeless powder
used in the mortars for such a pur-
pose, but it doubtless has on hand
some old black or brown powder,
which would make sufficient noise and
shock, or the Territory could afford
to purchase a few barrels of such
powder to make the experiment.
It must not be supposed that the
success of the experiment would make
possible another Eva plantation in the
vicinity of Koko Head, but it may
easily be the means of saving many
trees and many lawns in Honolulu
and also the reputation of the water
supply of the city.

POLICEMAN WILL
Be DRUMMED OUT
kalaukoa to Be Publicly Fired
From the Mounted Patrol
for Cause.

John Kalaukoa, a member of the
mounted police force, viii be drummed
out of the service at the police inspec-
tion this morning. The officer is now
under arrest, booked for investigation,
while booked with him is Annie Bailey,
an eighteen year-old girl whom he has
wronged. Their case will probably go
to the Federal grand jury, as Kalaukoa
is married man.
The girl entered the officer s family
some months ago. leaving her home and
refusing to return, although the matter
was brought before Sheriff Iaukea by
her parents. As the officers wife. was
friend of the girl and her age en-
titled her to live where she wished,
the advice of the Sheriff could not be
enforced. Then the wife, lately,
brought complaint of neglect, telling
her suspicion that the girl was being
kept somewhere by her husband. In
vestigation proved this to be true, and
the Sheriff was about to discharge the
officer, leaving his punishment in the
hands of the grand jury
Yesterday. however, the officer ap-
peared before the Sheriff and stated
that he had been the victim of con-
spiracy, a conspiracy acknowledged by
the girl and her parents. The Sheriff,
accompanied by Father Valentine again
visited the parents and learned that
the officer had urged them to misstate
the facts to the Sheriff in order that
he might be retained on the force.
With this knowledge the man was
arrested yesterday and this morning,
when the force is drawn up for in
speetion, the Sheriff will take off Ka-
laukoa's badge and publicly expel him
from the force before the men, giving
him dishonorable discharge. 1t is
probable that he will take advantage
of the opportunity to refer to the Du-
vauchelle dismissal and again impress
upon the men the fact that honesty of
service and Observance of the laws are
requisites for service in the depart
ment.

MANCHUR|A LANDED

The mysterious evolutions of the
Pacific Mail liner Manchuria off Dia-
mond Head on Friday night, when she
hove to and lowered a boat, was ex-
planned late last night when Police Of
f1cer Reeves took into custody three
youths near the sewer pumping sta
ton, the boys explaining their pres
ence there by stating that they had
been kicked off the liner the night be-
fore. They came to Honolulu on the
transport Thomas, thinking to bask
away a few easy months amid the
kindly South Sea Islanders,a only to
find that there was more hustling than
asking needed in the Paradise of the
Pacific San Francisco and home look
ed better to them from here than they
imagined could have been possible, so
they made a break for the Manchuria
so soon as they heard that her nose
pointed for the Golden Gate. They
appeared on deck to watt a goodbye
to Honolulu too soon, however, and
were transferred to a sampan for fer
demand made on the Pacific Mail
agents by the japanese for his ferry
fee. which was not understood.

w. r. Sims was arrested last night
and charged with being drunk, although
it is probable that a further charge of
carrying concealed weapons viii be
brought against him. He fourished
a gun at the corner of Hotel and Nuu-
anu last night, this being found in his
pocket when he was searched before
being locked up at the station. He
came down in the patrol wagon will
ingly enough after his arrest, but ere
ated a scene when the turnkey at

struggling and holding on to the eoun-

Its Chief Use and q Method of Deter

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t Ii
made by corroding metallic lead into
a white powder, through exposing II
to the fumes of weak acetic acid and
carbonic acid gas; this powder is then
ground and mixed with linseed oil,
making thick paste, in which form
it Is packed and sold for painting
purposes. The painter thins 1t down
to the proper consistency for applfca-
ton by the addition of more Iinseed

The above refers, Of course, to
pure, genuine White Lead only. Adult

which there are many brands on the
market, is generally some sort OF
| composition containing only a per-
centage of white lead-sometimes no

similar cheap substances are used to

ance of pure White Lead.
There is. however, a positive test
by which the purity or impurity of
White Lead may be proved or ex-
posed, before painting with 1t.

DEMAND CHIOoRY.
Foreign Born Americans Introducing
n New Product.

Foreign Born Americans introducing
New Product.
| The steady demand by those whf
have emigratsd to this country IRON
Europe is daily creating greater oe
mand for chicory to improve the ma
vor of coffee.
II Is a fast not generally known tc
| Americans that chicory, owing to Its
/ peculiar properties, neutralizes the
harmful effects which result from the
drinking of straight coffee as a bev.
erage. :.
Now that it is becoming so difficult
to secure coffees at any price which
are really palatable, 1t is worth re
| membering that mixture OF coffee
and chicory will give a beverage
which we have diligently sought for
but so often failed to find. for the
family breakfast, viz, the same good
coffee we so much admire in first
class restaurants and hotels.
We have our European citizens by
adoption to thank for this. Used as
they have been for more than hun
dred years to add little chiocry to
their coffee this was custom that
chung to them after coming to Amer
lea.
Their constant demand for it upon
our merchants led to it's being import
ed in largely increasing quantities
until one of the largest foreign firms
engaged in preparing 1t established
great works here in America.
Since then its use has widened un-
til nearly all classes are now using it
daily. Because 1t improves the taste
of coffee and takes away its bad eff
fects.
Leading merchants are now put
ting up their package coffees with
the addition of the proper proportion
of chicory and plainly labelling the
package accordingly.
This insures you coffee and chicory
of the quality that will produce a bev-
erage like that served in the best ho-
tells and restaurants.
