WASHINGTON, December IL. -
News of the resignation of President
Zelaya, of Nicaragua, which was sent
into the Niearaguan senate yesterday,
has been received at the state depart
ment here. The resignation was reeeiv-
ed with great deal of satisfaction, but
the fact that he has given up the reins
of government will not result in his
escape from the attentions of the Amer
lean government.

MANY PORTUGUESE
APPLY FOR WORK

Many more of the recently arrived
Portuguese immigrants made applica-
ton at the planters shed for work
yesterday. These were all taken on
as soon as they applied and arrange
ments were made for feeding and hous-
ing them until such time as they are
assigned to various plantations.
Those who did not care to apply for
work have scattered to take up their
abode with friends or relations. Many
of these hope to get work at their
trades in Honolulu, while others are
waiting to see what may turn up before
they decide to go to work for the
planters.

Carolyn Lila. Miss Pleasant had the
wardrobe for these six different parts,
complete in every particular, hanging
in her room at her hotel, and when
she got notice, took a cab, fastened to
her room and was soon in the spot

One night the audience at the Prin-
cess was kept waiting some little time
before the curtain went up. and the
people would have been highly inter-
ested had they known the cause. 1t
appears that Miss Lila was taken
sick and Miss Pleasant was called up
on to play her part. She assumed the

disclosed the familiar campus Miss

Ore. Of the things which it seems
difficult for the public mind to grasp
is that there is decided difference be-
tween the knot and the mile. 1t is
certainly about time to have it thor
oughly understood that the two are
not the same thing. 1t seems easy
enough to remember that mile is only
about 81 per cent of a knot, the latter
being approximately 6,OS2 feet in
length, while the statute mile measures
$3.50 feet. Three and one-half miles
are equal, within small fraction, to
three knots. The result Of this differ
ence, Of course, Is that the speed of a
vessel In miles per hour is always con-
siderably larger than when stated in
knots, and the confusion Of the terms
sometimes gives rise to rather remark
able claims Of speed performance.
When a twenty knot ship. for example,
Is lightly mentioned. it should be re-
membered that this really means a
little over twenty three miles. Similar
" with higher figures. which are often
glibly enough stated. the difference be-
tween the terms Is worth bearing in
mind. 1t will help to guard against
the forming Of ridiculous estimates Of
4 vessels capabilities.
