MARVEL At
MOVING PICTURES
MANY AT MoLokAi GET A FIRST
GLIMPSE OF THE
WORLD.
SOME THERE WHO HAVE NEVER
BEEN IN OR SEEN A
CITY.

San Francisco, Cal, May lone
of the most marvellous experiences IN
the history of the Molokai leper set
Element on the Hawaii islands, came
to the people of that shut-in isolation
last week, when moving picture ma
chine was installed in Beretania hall,
their public place of assemblage, for
their entertainment
1t was not merely that they saw
moving pictures for the first time, but
for the first time, to very great
number of them, it was their first
glimpse into the world beyond the
narrow confines of the settlement.
Very many of them had never seen a
city until they saw those projected on
the moving picture screen. Elephants,
camels, bears, lions, and the other an
imals of the circus or the zoo were
presented to them for the first time.
Fire engines, police patrols, moving
troops, the thousand-and-one common
places of the picture machine, came
to them not only with the force OF
novelty, but with the effect of some
thing unheard of and undreamed of
before.
Some months ago. at the suggestion
of Superintendent McVeigh of the
settlement, movement was started
to procure a moving picture machine,
to be sent to the settlement for the
entertainment of the people there. A
fund was contributed, the machine and
a supply of film was bought, and r.
X. BONNIE, who has travelled the world
over securing strange scenes for NOV
ing picture exhibitions, volunteered to
go over and install the machine. This
he did last week. The intensest in
terest in the matter was felt at the
settlement. Every operation of the
process of installing the apparatus
population. And when finally the first
exhibition was given, wonder and ex
element knew no bounds.
In addition to the films that have
been provided by the donors for the
settlement, Mr. BONNIE took large
number of his own films to exhibit
there for the entertainment of the
people. So intensely interested were
they that no amount of repetition OF
the pictures seemed to tire them. AT
their earnest invitation, Mr.. BONNIE
decided to remain another week at the
settlement to exhibit his own pictures
often enough so that every one in the
settlement shall have opportunity to
see them, and more thoroughly to in
struct some of the lepers how to ma
nipulate the machine so that there
need be no interruption in the regu-
larity or frequency of the exhibitions
after he leaves.
1t is expected that funds for new
films will be donated from time to
time by the public here, so that the
people at the settlement will have
new moving pictures to look at at in
tervals. Mr.. BONNIE says that in all
his experience he has never seen such
absorbing and intense interest in
moving pictures anywhere.

nette won a notable victory in the as
sembly Yesterday morning when he
saved from indefinite postponement

Mr.. Leroy explained that under the
buy liquor if supplied with a written
order from parent or guardian, but
the statute is being fagrantly violat-
ed in all parts of the state owing to
the laxity of parents.
Mr.. Bichler opposed the bill be-
cause he feared the governor, in ac-
cordance with the idea expressed
when he vetoed the anti-cigaret bill
few days ago. would also refuse to
attach his signature to this measure
Mr.. Brockhausen argued against
the bill because it prohibited a tired
laboring man, after his days toll is
ended, sending a child after a pail of
beer. He had special reference to
Milwaukee, where this practice is in-l
dulged in extensively.
DR.. Smith, Mr.. Johnson and Mr..

4. r. Lindsey Is reporter OF 10
years experience In English, Spanish
and United States courts. Reported
all the big military cases during the
Philippine insurrectIon. Handled
the political investigation at the
Bremerton navy yard against George
w. Trahey and others In the fall of
1907, which was at that time the
largest single job OF reporting ever
done in the state of Washington.
In that work 1t became necessary
to use monographs and Mr.. Lindsey
thus became the pioneer in the use
Of the Edison machines In large cases
Since that time he has used from
three to Ave continuously In his re-
porting business. and brought them
with him to Spokane In January last,
and they have proved such an advant-
age In the reporting work that no
first class reporting office In the city
Is without them today.
Mr.. Lindsey has his outfit of three
machines in Occur d'Alene, which

make an outfit OF Ave machines with
the accessory shaving machines,
which viii be used In getting out
the record OF the Washington Water

Spokane agent OF the Edison ma
chine, Is prepared to furnish more.
With the use OF a proper machine
outfit such as the reporters have on
this case every mans efficiency is
doubled and the reporters are able
to keep the record up to within a
very few hours of the witnesses.
Mr. Lindsey was for four years the
official reporter Of the Ninth judicial
district OF the Philippine Islands and
for the year 1908 was deputy offic.
ial reporter for British Columbia
where he reported many large cases
one especially being OF international
note that of the king VS.. the ship

Needle Dust

In factories where needles are made
the grtndstones throw on great quaint
ties Of minute steel particles. with
which the air becomes heavily charg-
ed, although the dust is too fine to be
perceptible to the eye. Breathing the
dust shows no immediate effect, but
gradually sets up irritation. usually
ending in pulmonary consumption. In
effective attempts were made to screen
the air by gau2e or linen guards for
nose and mouth. At last the use Of
the magnet was suggested, and now
masks Of magnetized steel wire are
worn by workmen and efrectually re-
move the metal dust before the air 10
