HISTORIC JEWELS co
UNDER THE HAMMER

Buyers and interested spectators to
the number of over two hundred and
fifty attended the auction sale of his
toric jewelry held in the Kapiolani
Estate building yesterday morning, the
jewelry being portion of that belong
ing to the late Prince David and con.
sisting of the many pieces bequeathed
to the late Prince by King Kalakaua.
Many of the pieces, including all the
orders, were bought in at private sale
by the Princess Kawananakoa.
Among the buyers were several ma
lihinis, who appreciated the historic
value of many of the pieces and who
made the bidding lively, forcing good
prices for the greater part of the col
lection. Among the local buyers,
George Davies, Sam Parker, S. H..
Bickerton, F. ]. Lowrey and Morris
Rosenbledt secured several of the best
relics.
The latter secured possibly the best
buy from the standpoint of intrinsic
values of the sale, this being a gold
bracelet, formerly the property of the
Princess Poomaikalani. The piece of
jewelry was massive and set with five
white and one black diamond and a
number of other jewels. The bidding
on this piece started at $3.50 and the
knock. down price was $3.50. A Ma
sonic sword, which had been a presen-
tation to King Kalakaua from a for
eign Masonic lodge, went to Mr.. Bick-
erton for $780, and gold cigarette
case, bearing a diamond crown, a pres
emit from King Kalakaua to the Prin-
cess Poomaikalani, fell to Sam Parker
at a price of 1865. The bidding on
this was the most spirited of the sale.
George Davies secured an unlocked
for bargain in kukui-nut locket,
which he bid in at comparatively
small price. After the purchase the
new owner discovered secret spring
and on opening the locket it was found
TO contain a beautiful miniature OF

plate inscribed with Hawaiian charac-
tiers.

CAPT. JOSSELYN ONE OF MANY
WEATHER BUREAU OBSERVERS

Six thousand ship captains comprise
a list of wandering correspondents of
the United States W Gather Bureau, who
file reports of their daily observations
Of the weather taken during voyages
from one port to the next. When Cap
tain Josselyn of the bark Nuuanu ar.
rived last Monday from New York, via
Cape Horn, one of his first missions
ashore was to visit the local weather
bureau in charge of Mr.. Stockman and
leave with him small pamphlet filed
with valuable data of the voyage.
The thousands upon thousands of
similar reports fled at the various
weather bureau stations are forwarded
to Washington, where corps of stat
isticians enter the data in reports. After
a few years of such entries general
average is struck, so that the general
weather conditions in this or that part
of the world at sea can be sized up and
the mariner can judge that when he
visits certain parts of the globe he may
expect in such ana such a month Ger

meet them.

Mr.. Stockman of the local weather

many of the masters of vessels plying

In its book Of forms given to mas.
ters of vessels, in which to record
their daily observations, occurs the fol-
lowing instruction as to the use of
oil:

With long fingers clutching her throat
Madame Lambert, a dressmaker, awoke

an intruder in her cottage on Richards

he got away.

box was found beneath one of the
windows and traces were left Of an
attempt to break in. The knowledge
of this attempt alarmed the woman and
she has been on her guard since.
There are roomers in her house and
only one was home on the night Of her
adventure. During the evening she had
been absent from the cottage. On re
turning and preparing to retire she no
ticed that the hook attached TO the in
side of the French shutter doors hai
been bent and after working sometime
over it she abandoned the task, ant
the door was therefore not locked whei
she retired. In the light Of subsequent
events the midnight visitor is believed
to have watched the cottage and whei
she went out, entered and bent tn
hook so that it could not easily be use,
for latching the door.
Having fear that efforts to ente
her cottage might be renewed, Madam
Lambert kept her dog in her bedroom
when she retired. The dog, however
awakened her several times by contir
