Royal Palace at Honolulu
 Reproduced at Exposition

SEATTLE, Jur ', "A beautiful part of the Hawaiian exhibit at the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition is found in the reproduction of the Royal palace of Honolulu. The structure so well known by all visitors to the Paradise of the Pacific is constructed to correct scale, and the handsome lines are made from pure white sugar It occupies space 50 by 50 feet, and the various halls for parliament meetings and royal receptions are faithfully shown.
 It was in this building that the once queen, Lillionkalani, was confined as a prisoner in her own land, during the tempestuous days of the Hawaiian rev olution. To its great hall of state, Kalakaua, king and bon viviat, was brought following his deeease in the city of San Francisco, and the royal splendors of the pre-burial ceremonies were conducted.
 From the main tower the national flag of the Hawaiian monarchy was low. cred for all time by the short-lived Hawaiian republic, and Mark Twain s "Toy Kingdom" became but few pages of history. It is still the seat of government, however, and its pur. poses are much the same as they were in the days when the name Hawaiian stood for all that was hospitable, kind and generous.

Stray Topics from
 Little Old New York

A rather unusual story was brought the request of his own father a boy of fourteen years was arrested, and sent to the House of Refuge, to keep the youngster from his aunt, a woman of twentysix years. According to the statements made by the father and cor roborated by the boy and other wit nesses, the young woman, whose hus- band died more than a year ago, fell desperately in love with her husband s son and some time ago persuaded him to elope with her to Philadelphia, where they lived together until arrested. The woman. who is evidently out of sound and normal mind, declared, when she was arrested, that she loved the boy and wanted to marry him. although he is only fourteen and her nephew.

 At times it is quite difficult even for hotel clerk, 10 tell the difference be tween a sane man and lunatic, The other day an elegantly rsssed stranger VI oi iotN''oh'N "IHN"AeHNN ~" one of the most mistocratic hotels il New York, introduced himself as '' Ba- ron Wurz' and said that he wished to engage suite of rooms for himself and hsi bride. He asked for the best rooms in the house and thought that d suite of six rooms with extra accom- odations for his valet and his bride s maid would be about what he wanted. The question of cost was a matter of indifference to him. The clerk, greatly impressed with the grand airs of the stranger, hastened to escort him to the millionaire floor, to show him the best the house had to offer. The stranger was somewhat critical and hard to please. but declared himself at last sat isfied, after the clerk had agreed to make certain changes in the arrange ment of the suite. When the clerk and the stranger had returned to the office, the Baron was promptly nabbed by keeper of the lunatic asylum from which the Baron' had escaped. It is scarcely necessary to state that this title of nobility is merely a product of his diseased imagination.

 New York offers more remarkable op. portunities to lovers of the fishing sport than any of the famous resorts usually sought during vacation time by the dis ,iples of the lamented Isaac Walton. If they still like fishing they may sit Dn the end of any one of the hundreds of piers and hang their lines in the water, to have the bait nibbled off by .rabs or eels If they like trolling in salt water, they may drag line from he stern end of Coney Island boat md, if they are in luck, they may nook on to the carcass of some deceased log or pussy But the most exciting sport of all they may enjoy, whenever me of the hydrants is turned on for flushing the streets or sewers. These lydrants spout not only water, but also ny number of live fish, from small white fish and river carp to eels and atfish of quite respectable size. These ish may be caught with hook or net, Ir they may be speared, but the work as to be done quickly, before the fish ,re flushed down into the nearest sewer basin. Trout and salmon fishing is anne sport compared with that.
