heavens, and Europe saw In 1t the
scimitar OF Gilman, fortelling the
subjugation of Christendom. Its APP
pearance. according to the chroni-
clers of the time, was terrible; 1t
stretched across the sky like a wav-
ing flame, and was the color Of
molten gold. The Pope, Calixtus
ILL.,, ordered that the bells OF the
churches should be rung every day
at noon, and that universal prayer
should be offered up to exercise the
portent and to check the advance of
the Turks. Then at last, to the
great relief Of Europe, the fiery va
taghan grew DINNER and fainter,
and at last disappeared from the
heavens.
When next 1t appeared, in 1881.
Solyman l had just been repulsed at
Vienna, and Europe had become ac-
customed to looking on Austria and
Hungary as the barrier against the
Turks, and so comparatively little

In modern times comets have
been looked upon chiefly as the
means which will bring about the
destruction Of the earth, and in
1882. 1857 and 1872 the end of all
things terrestrial was positively pre-
dicted. However, like the comet of
1856, these visitants passed harm
lessly away, and the most worldly
minded were content to note that
the years in which comet appeared
were usually remarkably good crop
years. In fact, vintages of comet
years were greatly sought after, es-
pecially that of 1911. Although Hal
ley's comet has never been famous
for the excellence of the crops
grown under 1t, let us hope that this
year will be an exception to the rule
in this respect.

regular runs has had some ac-
commodations for passengers, not
elaborate, to be sure, but neverthe-
less recognition OF local needs.
This line will launch this week q
new steamer that has accommoda-
ton for one hundred and fifty pas
sengers. Unless some blow is struck
at the American merchant marine,
we feel confident that other steam
ers will be built by the same COM
pany.
This paper would solve our trans
portation problem, and 1t is a real
problem, life size and full grown, by
bringing to time the lines that carry
our freight.
What an exhibition for this Terri
tory that during the last fiscal year
we should ship to and from Hawaii
and the mainland merchandise val
ued at sixty millions of dollars, and
still not have proper accommoda-
tion for passengers.
They say that passenger business
alone will not pay. We grant this.
But haven't We. millions of freight
to bestow? Are not the people of
Hawaii captains Of their own des-
tiny? Have they lost the power to
say to whom they will give their
freight? Are the great interests OF
the islands in the grip of a great
transportation combine IL which
they are afraid?
Or is It that the commanding inter-
csts of Hawaii have not given pas
senger transportation the place in
their discussion that II deserves?
The solution of this transporta-
ton problem is in our own hands,
and since this Is so. and since 1t will
eventually be poor business to turn
our patronage over to the foreigners,
1t seems the better part OF progress
sive citizenship to devote our ener-
gies to commanding the American
owners and building up the American
lines rather than opening the door
to aliens. ..f

Freight and PASSENGERS,

That was n timely reference made
by Congressman McLachlan to the
freight-carrying steamship lines that
take a very large percentage of the
freight of this Territory and up to
the present day do not reciprocate
with accommodation for single
passenger.
Although one line has sufficient
patronage between Honolulu ana
Pacific coast ports to maintain two
magnificent freight steamers on a
regular schedule, It does not provide
for one passenger. And although
the matter of passenger necessities
was brought forcibly to the atten-
tion of the operators of the line both
by local people and the local agent,
the only recognition gained for Ho-
nolulu's passenger needs In the
splendid new steamers now building
especially for this route. was plans
Tor only forty people.
We are pleased that this has at
tracted the notice of able thinking
men coming here on tour of OBJ
servation, particularly men who de-
sire that the American merchant
marine shall be retained in at least
this portion Of the Pacific.
There Is not the slightest doubt
that the passenger traffic of these
islands would be amply taken care
of If the lines that carry the freight
of Hawaii made provision for the
passengers Offering.
One steamship line, we are happy
TO say, is building up on this basis.
1t has made good start. Every
steamer 1t has built and placed on

HALLEY'S HISTORIC comet.

Appearance of Halley's comet in
the heavens almost co-incident with
the discovery of the North Pole fur
nishes all the setting for revival
of the portents associated with this
famous heavenly body since It was
discovered centuries ago.
This comet is one of the travellers
of the sky that is not seen by every
generation, and those who get a
view of II this year have another
cause for congratulation that their
present tour on earth includes the
year 1903. II is one of the greatest
of astronomical exhibits.
The two most celebrated historic
cal appearances of Halley's comet
were in 1866 and 1456. The first
date was that of the Norman inva-
sion Of England, and each side
claimed the comet as portent in
favor of themselves. The Normans
said that the comet was set in the
heavens to guide Duke William
across the channel, and those who
have visited the little museum at
Bayeux will remember that 1t forms
a notable figure In the tapestry OF
the Duchess Matilda, which is kept
in a glass case In the second room
In the thirty-second scene of the
tapestry is an object like a huge
shuttlecock above castle with a
group of Normans staring and point
ing at 1t, striking Anglo-Saxon at
titudes by anticipation at the same
time. The foremost of them is sup
posed to be prophesying evil for Har-
old, and the inscription above them
is "Isti Mirant Stella" William !,
was great believer in portents,
and he made the most of the comet
in his attack upon Harold and the
English.
The other famous appearance OF
the comet was in 1856, when II
spread terror all over Europe, and
in all the churches people prayed to
be delivered from the Turks and the
comet. Three years earlier Con-
stantine, the last Emperor of By
zantium, had died the death of a
hero on the Sandjakdar Yokushar
the Sultan Mohammed had entered
the city, and the Church of st. So
phia had become mosque. The
Crusades were over, and Christian
ity seemed fated to succumb to Is
lam, for nothing was able to stop
the conquering Moslems. Then In
