STRANGE THINGS

United States District Attorney
Breckons yesterday began condemna-
ton proceedings against the John A.
McCandless Waikiki property. This is
wanted as a part of the location for a
battery for the defense of the city
and the harbor.
Uncertainty is being felt in regard
to the formation of the beach at Wal
kiki. Some of the behring's are report
ed by Major Winslow to have indi-
Gated that the formation is not solid
one at this point, but that there are
subterranean chambers or lakes not
very far below the surface. There have
not been enough Of these borings yet
to fully determine the character of the
formation or to give basis for en-
cheering plans to overcome it.
There have been suggestions of such
formation at various points on this
island at different times for many
years, but little, if anything, to give
the color of authority to them.
1t is not believed that there is any
thing in the formation of the shore
line at this point to present formida-
BILE obstacles to the purpose for which
the land is I'd be used.

All the registered vessels plying in
and out of Hilo have been inspected
by Captain William Howe and Carl
Lehners, U. s. Inspectors of bulls and
boilers, the officers returning last Sat
urday from Hawaii on the Mama Kea.
Captain Howe says of the trip:
"We are very much pleased with the
result of our trip. We found the ships
all in good shape and also found that
the law is being complied with. There
is one boat being built by Japanese
that looks as though il might require
registration, owing to its size. but in all
other instances we found that every
thing is in compliance with the law.
Customs Collector Baird of Hilo de-
serves much credit for the manner in
which he has kept watch of all mat
tiers pertaining to ship inspection.
I" At the time that the Japanese there
were exhibiting their whale he descend
ed upon them and demanded that the
launch owners show their licenses to
carry passengers. In every instance he
found licensed operator on board, the
owners having secured them from some
place for the occasion. We found no
cause for complaint anywhere"
