STORM TAKES SEA ROUTE.
Washington Escapes, Although
Weather Man Gave Alarm.

The North Carolina storm which was
bowling along toward Washington yes
terday did not get here last night, as
predicted by the weather man.
The disturbance Is now a thing of the
past. SO far as dry land is concerned,
Prof. Garriott said today. 1t sidetracked
the District and scudded off to sea. after
reaching the Virginia coast. Its d6sec-
ton was northeasterly.
The storm was one of those contrary
happenings in meteorology which deceive
the wisest of fOrecasterS. 1t simply tack
ed after reaching old Virginia and
changed its course over the Atlantic, cut
ting Washington out of its itinerary.
Fair weather will follow in the wake of
the tar heel storm. and the District will
enjoy several days of pleasant weather
The atmosphere will be little cooler to-
night, and then it will begin to warm
up.
BY the end of this week." Prof. Gar
riott concluded we will have some real
old shioned summer weather"

NORMAL SCHOOL
GOES 70 WAH|AWA
Educational Excursion To
Scenes OF Practical
Work

On Friday the Normal School con.
cludcd the second term of the school
year by an all-day excursion to the
pineapple plantations at Wahiawa, to
study the agricultural and irrigation
methods practiced there.
A special through train was provid'
ed for the throng Of pupils and teach
ars, who number 100. Edgar Wood
principal, and Mr. Vaughan McCaugh
~, in charge of the agricultural ana
science teaching, were in charge.
The party arrived at Wahiawa near
the noon hour, and after lunch at the
citation, repaired to the large, dam o..
the Wahiswa Water Co. On The way
to the dam short siiee cureiOns werc1
made into the pineapple litlds, ,yhore|
the methods OF blowing, pientlng etc,
were noted. .,lt t,A ~
Then followed an interesting! exam
.ination OF The. dam, especially In re-
gard to its construction and It's rcla-'
ton to the surrounding water supply
Many of the pupils had never before
actually seen large dam, and thus
an excellent opportunity was Afforded
them to study the mechanics of dam
construction, and kindred topics. n,
The geological and soil conditions
Of the Wahiawa region are worthy oi
note, and attention was called TO Che
canyon formation, kinds of soil, rock
structure, and other similar items of
interest, especially those relating 20
the prevailing agriculture Of the re-.
gion, viz:--pineapples and sugar cane
During the return to the station the
pupils observed the groves OF citrus
fruits and papaias-two plant'indus'
tries that deserve Il much more eG'
tended development than they at pres
ent have in these islands.
At the station, through the kindness
Of the engineer, a number Of tho pupils
gained insight into the actual working
Of locomotive.
A pleasant homeward journey con
cluded day which had been not only
very interesting, but also instructive
along many lines. one Of the ideas
that the Normal school especially EN-.
phasizes Is the real study of actual
things, and II insists that its pupils
going out TO teach shall be alive to the
real Industries and life about them.

reward, but sometimes IT seems that
that is the only reward 1t gets.
Tho story told is that about week
ago Jack Atkinson and Admiral Very
wandered up to the Pacific Club aud
there foregathered with President
Pinkham of the Board of Health.
Talk drifted to the trouble Pinkham
has had with Walach and the Atch-
erleys and its sudden subsistence.
Pinkham remarked that for once his
name was not appearing prominently
in the newspapers, whereupon Jack
offered to bet him case of cham
payne that within two weeks he
would be figuring in big letters at
the top of the first page. Pinkham
took the bet.
Last Wednesday Jack won. And
Pinkham remembered the bet. But
he also remembered that Jack had
blossomed out as the most ardent of
the Auti-SalOon crowd and SO, Of
course, was on the wagon and
couldn't drink champagne. 1t hard
ly seemed right to place temptation
in his way, so Pinkham settled the
bet by sending Jack a case of Tansan
mineral water. The blow almost
broke Jacks resolution and he almost
broke the pledge.
