Korea Gets Away.

The Pacific Mail liner Korea sailed
away for the mainland yesterday morn
ing promptly on schedule time. a. m.
There was large crowd of people at
the dock and the lei wreathing custom
was very much in evidence, malihinis
as well as kamaainas throwing Hawai-
ian flowers around their departing
friends. Among those who left was
Colonel Sam Parker, who will size up
the land situation in Cuba before re-
turning. 1t is also possible that Colonel
Parker viii, after coming back to the
States from Cuba, go to Egypt with
Governor John T. Baker This was the
plan these two gentlemen had formed
originally. C. S. Desky, the local real
estate agent, accompanied Col. Parker
in the capacity of an expert judge of
land values. Clinton J. Hutchins did
not leave on the Korea, although he
was booked to depart General John
H. Soper was departing passenger. He
will also make business trip to Cuba.
Mrs C. A. Rice, wife of Hon. C. A.
Rice of Kauai, left for a visit on the
mainland

Wireless Talk.

That the Pacific Mail liners will soon
be able to get into communication with
shore by means of wireless telegraphy
while still hundreds of miles at sea is
practically certain now. Speaking of
the matter yesterday morning, one of
the officers of the Korea said:
"While we on the ships have not
been definitely notified of any such ac-
tion on the part of the company, the
rumor has been floating around for con-
siderable time past, and, of late, it
has begun to assume definite shape. We
met one of the boats in the Orient
which had just come from San Fran
board told me that the Pacific Mail
manager had been in consultation with
wireless firms, with view towards Sc
curing a price on the installation of
systems in the ships. This would GER
tainly indicate that the Pacific Mail
boats will soon be as well equipped as
any vessel on any ocean with regard
to wireless appliances.
Passengers want the wireless on
ships. of course, and / will not be at
all surprised when the time comes that
they demand this protection. Tourists
prefer ships on which every safeguard
has been taken, and. for almost senti-
mental reason regard ship equipped
with wireless as incapable of receiving
serious injury. I know that this is an
adsokte fact, for it was not very long
ago when I worked on Coastwise liner
equipped with wireless.

ROOSEVELT IS BUSY
BIDDING FAREWELL
White House Invaded by
Retiring Presidents
Friends.

ANY one in the neIghbOrhood OF the
White House this morning might have
thought that the historic mansion was
being besiesed by an invading army.
Truly II was a busy day for President
Roosevelt, and. inasmUcn as ii vas
his last full day as Chief Executive he
sought to meet and to shake the hand OF
all corners. But there are limitations
10 all mems physical endurance, and
the President had 10 call a halt finally
to transact his remaining business
The early hours Of the morning were
occupied with receiving the bureau
chiefs Of the several departments. They
were headed by their respective Secro-
taries who as members Of President
Roosevelt's Cabinet introduced each de-
partment officer by name and rank
He Knew Many.
Many or these chiefs were known TO
the President personally, and they all
expressed a cordial feeling for the re-
tiring President, and wished him good
luck IN his future.
Next followed a brief reception Of
Speaker Cannon, Chief Justice Fuller.
and Justices White and Day of the
United States Supreme Court. Chies
Justice Fuller will tomorrow administer
the oath Of Office to the President S
successor. and he sought this oppor-
tunity today TO bid GOd-speed to the
outgoing Executive, whom he also swore
in in 1905.
Meantime, while the President was re-
ceiving the bureau chiefs, the lobby OF
the Executive Office became fairly
choked with callers. There were 50
many in fact. and all clamoring 10 shake
the hand Of the President, that the chief
usher was compelled 10 stop the in
rush 10 the Presidents Office.
At no time since the inaugural rush
began have the White House callers
presented themselves I'm such great
variety. Most every State IN the Union
could have claimed one or the callers
this morning as citizen, and these
callers represented most every walk
and phase Of life-
In Great Variety
The high, the low. the meek. and the
belligerent were all there IN force
demonstrating the Presidents oft re
peated claim that hIs friends not only
number a legion. but are drawn from
most every line OF human endeavor.
This mass Of humanity moved or the
! White House under all style Of loco
motion; they came in carriages, auto
mobiles OF every make, cost, and de-
scripiou, and one visitor, an army man
ambled along on horseback. How they
came made little difference. they were
all there after one purpOse-to bid the
President a farewell, and that many
Of these farewells were not spoken "a

drew near he yelled to the driver:
For heavens sake run over that
brute. He's got me freed here"
There was laugh from the other
car and the driver backed away and
rushed at the bulldog full speed. The
dog disappeared under the car, but
arose behind it barking and unhurt.
Again the automobile was aimed at
him and again the dog emerged un-
harmed. At last the newcomer grew
tired of his job and, declaring that he
couldn't hit the dog, put on power
and drove away.
For half an hour or more Mr..
Kurtz sat a prisoner, and then along
the street came a belated citizen,
whistling merrily. At the sound the
dog pricked up his ears and dashed to
the newcomer, springing up and show
ing, as only a dog can, how glad he
was to see him.
The artist called to the man, who
admitted that the dog was his. and
then Mr.. Kurtz recounted his nights
experience. The man laughed loud
and long, and when the artist asked
his name refused to give it. However,
when he walked off in the darkness
the dog went with him, and after an
hours more work the artist repaired
his car and drove home.
He slept late next morning, but bis
waking hours were spent in a hunt
for the dog. 1t was unsuccessful, but
the artist declares he will continue
the hunt until he finds that canine If

Why a Cat Lights on Its Feet.

Why cats when dropped from a
height light on their feet nine times
out of ten is one of the smaller prob
lens that from time to time attract
the attention of certain type OF sci
sntists Some years ago learned men
in Paris gravely studied the phenom-
ena. even hau n lot of films taken of a
cat falling from a great height. These
showed that as soon as puss began to
fall curious turning movement OF
the headquarters began, and just be-
fore she touched ground she was right
side mp.
A German professor went his fellow
scientists one better and proved a cat
in falling changed its center of gravi.
ty by rotary twists of the tail. The
professor further observed that these
twists were the reverse OF those of the
rest of the body. So convinced was
he of this fact that he fixed a movable
tail to operate by clockwork on a dunn.

New Yolk.-Samuel E. KurtZ, an ar
list, who lives in Manhattan terrace,
Flatbush, spent an entire day trying
to find a brindle bulldog which fol
two hours at midnight kept him
prisoner i'll the tonneau of his auto
mobile after the car had broken down
in such a way that to fix 1t Mr.. Kurtz
must have lain down beneath it.
That w9e what he was doing when
the bulldog hove in sight, and De es-
capped into the tonneau of his car only
after the loss of a bit of trousers leg
and much dignity.
Mr.. Kurtz and his wife and young
daughter Virginia had gone for a
long ride and were returning home
at II o'clock at night when the car
became disabled about half a mile
from the artists home. Mrs. Kurtz
took Virginia home by trolley car.
Mr.. Kurtz agreed, and, divesting
tools conveniently on the ground, and
stretched himself under his car to eff
feet repairs.
The arrival of the bulldog followed
closely upon the departure of Mrs.
Kurtz and her daughter, and when the
artist had scrambled into the tonneau
to safety his wife and daughter were

help. All Flatbush was asleep at this
hour, so Kurtz tried to cajole the dog
With a growl the dog lurched for
ward, and with yell the artist sprang
back into the tonneau, the dogs jaws
swapping together less than an inch
behind him BY this time it was 11:30
o'clock, and from then until nearly
the artist sat in the tonneau hoping
that the dog would weary and go
away, With his tools all in the road
there was nothing in the car that Mr..

Joaquin Miller is to establish q

I'VE poets will, of course, argue

Matthew Arnold, Swinburne, Tenny

not like political or religious argu

ways make me think of three Maine

while three Maine divines were
supping together, two of them be
gan to argue about the comparative
religious merit Of the royal houses
of Stuart and Orange. The argument
became heated. The divines grew ex
cited and angry.
