DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When a thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves Us to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face of this idea the "impos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
q will, there's a way. elf we
could but rob cod liver oil OF
it's sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable.'
So said famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be DONE" he added.
"You can no more turn Goa liv-
er oil into palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in

IN wARSHIP LANE.

The Oceanic steamship company's
liner Alameda, Captain Thomas Dow
dell, which arrived yesterday from
Honolulu, met the armored cruisers and
destroyers of the Pacific feet about
10 O'Clock Saturday morning. The
cruisers, with Admiral Swinburne g
flagship West Virginia in the lead,
We're each towing a destroyer and were
strung out in a long line when the
Alameda and the fleet first came into
view. Before the warships met the
merchantmen signal from the West
Virginia IS yard caused change in the
formation. The cruisers formed in
two lines about half mile abreast, and
the Alameda was invited to steam
down the lane between.
There were four cruisers and as
many destroyers on one side and three

WASHINGTON, September I-Ship
builders and their representatives to
the number of fifty gathered at the
Navy Department today to witness
the opening of bids for the constitution
of ten torpedo boat destroyers author
lied by Congress, not to exceed in cost
100000 each, and for the acquisition
of three golfers, not to exceed 1925, 900
each. Bids for the torpedo boats will
be submitted under the Government
plans for hull and machinery, and also
proposing that the builders install their
own designs of machinery.
All the proposals made were at a
figure considerably below the Congress
sional limit. If the bids are found
to conform to the specifications awards
may be made this week, as the Navy
Department is anxious that work shall
begin on the vessels as soon as pos
sible. 1t is likely, in the opinion of the
responsible officials, that each of the
FIVE firms making bids will get a con-
tract, as the law contemplates that no
firm shall be given an award for more
than three vessels.
A notable feature was the offer of
various firms to construct high-speed
destrOyers, proposals of this character
being made under the class permitting
bidders to install their own machinery
designs. Proposals to furnish vessels
of thirty up to thirty-five knots per
hour were made.

The plan for gthe ladies auxiliary
of the Outrigger Club is now actively
under way. Arrangements have been
completed with the Seaside Hotel man
agement for strip of land along the
Diamond Head side of the property
facing the sea. Here the club will con.
struet a forty-room bathhouse with
roof lanai, exclusively for the use of
women. The style of architecture will
be colonial, in keeping with that of the
Seaside Hotel. Twenty of the bath
rooms, the parlors, surfboard room and
roof lanai will be the exclusive proper
ty of the lady club members. The
Seaside Hotel will undertake the main
tenance and upkeep of the bathhouse,
retaining twenty rooms for the use of
its lady guests, save when there is
crowd of lady outriggerites, when they
will have the right free to ten addi-
tional bathrooms. A part of the roof
lanai will be reserved as a lunching
place where the members may set their
own eolahous or order from the hotel
The following letter is being sent by
the club to a number of prominent wo-
men in Honolulu:

In the Baltic sea, forty miles from

Cortland. Mecca for students OF early
Gothic architecture. In WHISKY alone,
the chief town OF the island, with it's
population OF 5000 souls. may be
studied what remains OF no less than
ten churches. some Of which date from
the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The
oldest OF them is the Church OF the
Holy Ghost completed about 1046.

man music school. and especially inter

questionably the oldest known organ
In existence. The case alone has sur
vived the fret OF seven centuries; the
holes for the pedals and manuals are
placed as In modern Instruments. and
inside one can see the chember for the
bellows and judge OF their action; the
exterior Is adorned with paintings dat.
ing from about 1910.
When this ancient instrument could
ne longer serve Its original purpose, II
was used as sacristy. and for the
safeguard OF holy vessels and vest
ments was kept IN careful repair; hence
Its excellent preservation to our day.
