new CAR DEVISED.
Brennan Monorail Car Capable of
Great Possibilities.

New York. March S-Dr. AIexan-
der Chessin of Washington university,
St Louis, gave a demonstration of the
principle of the Brennan monorail
car in the physical laboratory at Co
lumbia university yesterday. The
model car has all the essential fea-
lures of the large car, to perfect
which the British government has ap-
propriated 100000 The two opposed
horoscopes which give the car its re-
markable powers of balance are four
inches in diameter and are made of
solid steel.
While the gyroscopes revoIved after
having been set in motion at an initial
speed of 5000 revolutions per minute
Dr. Chessin placed the car on a cop
per cable stretched across the room
and although the center of gravity
was three inches above the point of
contact, the car maintained its bal
ance perfectly. 1t successfully bal
ances more than ten pounds and did
not tip until almost two-thirds of the
entire cars weight was attached to one
side.
1t is DR.. Chessin's opinion that the
Brennan car has great commercial
possibilities and he suggests that a test
be made on the New York subway.

ALL ABOUT A SHIRT WAIST,
Wife of Laundry Proprietor Has an
Employe Arrested.

Cora B. Harris has sworn out a
complaint for the arrest of Esther
Bulor, or Stewart, as she is some
times known. charging her with steal
ing shirt waist from her husband,
Charles T. Harris. proprietor of the
Keihl laundry. The shirt waist is said
to have belonged to a patron of the
laundry, but it seems to be only an
incident in connection with the affair
The woman arrested is comely and
good to look upon and has been in
the employe of the KeihFs for some
time and it is said that the green
eyed monster has lurked about the
laundry since she was employed. The
defendant in the case denies that she
is guilty of the theft charged and
claims that her arrest at the instiga-
ton of Mrs. Harris was prompted by
other motives. The matter will be
thoroughly aired in the city court
tuesday morning unless the complaint
is withdrawn by Mrs. Harris, and real
interesting testimony will be de-
veloped according to the story of a
number of people who are familiar
with the case.

THE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding The Pre-.
vention of Coughs and Colds.

VI OOuSuS SOIuS.
If people would only properly
fortify and strengthen their system,
about SO per cent of coughs, colds and
pneumonia might be avoided These
troubles are simply the result of
weakn ess, which produces a catarrhal
condition of the mucous membrane,
which is as an internal skin of the
body. When this skin is weakened, it
becomes infected with germs which
are carried through the system by the
blood. These parasites attack and
break these delicate tissues and set
up a soreness which produce what is
in reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is a
medication which is absorbed and
carried by the blood so that the dis
eased membrane is disinfected,
cleaned, soothed and healed
We have a remedy which we hon
estly believe infallable and unsur-
passable for the prevention and cure
of coughs, colds and all catarrhal
conditions. It is the prescription of
a famous physician who has an
enviable reputation of 80 years of
cures gained through the use of this
medicine. We promise to either
effect a cure in every case or make
no charge for the medicine. We urge
everybody in Topeka who has need
of such medicine to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy if we were not abso-
lutely positive that we could sub
stantiate our claim in every par
ticular, and we see no reason why
anyone should hesitate to accept our
offer and try it. We have two sizes of
Rexall Mucu-Tone. Price soc and
$1.00. Sometimes soc bottle is
sufficient for cure As general
thing, the most chronic case is cured
with an average of three large bot
ties. Remember. the medicine will
cost you nothing if you are not
satisfied in every particular. Fred A.

LF-M|LL|ON FOR
HARBOR WORK
Continued From Page one.)

The entrance channel, through a
coral reef, and the harbor proper, were
dredged from time to time by the
monarehcal, republican. and territorial
governments of Hawaii prior to July
l, 1904. On this date there existed an
entrance channel having minimum
width of about 200 feet and a depth
of about 80 feet at mean low water.
The harbor proper had a general width
of 900 feet. The water for about 200
feet Immediately along the wharves had
q depth of from 30 to 80 feet Else
where there was only about q feet at
low water. The bend at the lighthouse
point was so sharp as to make it some
what difficult for large vessels to make
the turn.
''Work on the present project was

river and harbor act of March 3, 1905,

cubic yards of material were removed
from the harbor and deposited on

made of the condition of the harbor
This survey showed shoaling to have
taken place at the following points:
A general shoaling throughout the en-
trance channel; a noticeable shoaling
in the Nuuanu slip at the head of the
harbor; slight shoaling in front of
the wharves of the naval station, and
very slight shoaling in a few other
localities.
"The approved project is about 40
per cent completed On June 80, 1909,
there was minimum depth in the en-
trance channel of about 33 feet; with
in che harbor proper there was, outside

The operations for the improvement
of Hilo harbor by the construction of
a breakwater are covered in the re-
port. "Hilo Bay" says the report, ''is
practically deep open roadstead, pro-
tected to a limited extent by Blonde
reef, but otherwise exposed through
the angle formed by lines drawn from
Hilo town to Kanaha and keokea
points-that is, from about north to
north IA deg. east (magnetie). Strong
northeasterly trade winds prevail most
of the time. These winds cause chop
by sea outside of Hilo Bay and consid-
cradle swell in the bay, which at times
makes it unsafe for ships to lie at the
existing wharves and renders loading
and unloading in the bay difficult. The
heaviest seas, however, come from the
north during northerly and northwest
erly storms, and during this weather it
is often impossible for ships to lie at
/ the wharves or even work in the bay.
"The present project, adopted by
| congress March 2, 1907, consists in con-
! structing rubble mound breakwater
along Blonde reef to point on shore
about 5000 feet east of Cocoanut Is
/ land, at an estimated cost of $1,000, 900.
GAS authorized IL the act of March
