The German Cruiser Arcona arrived
last Friday and was warmly wecom-
cd again to Honolulu by her hosts OF
friends. All the officers have a warm
spot in their hearts for San Francisco,
having been treated royalty while
there. The one regret that seems to
prevail is that the time spent in the
metropolis was all too short.

The advent of a warship in Hawaiian
waters usually means an activity in
social circles, and the arrival of the
German cruiser Arcona caused the
same pleasant 1utter of excitement,
as on its previous stay only perhaps
more interest was exhibited this time
the ship coming, as she did from a
scene of riotous days of festival, such
as were seen in the metropolis over
the sea.
From the moment of her arrival, the
officers of the good ship knew no idle
hours, the German Colony here en-
masse endeavoring to create in the
minds and memory of all the boys a
vivid picture of hospitality.

coUNTERFEITED IN SICILY.
Much of the Bogus Money Brought
to This Country,

John L. Wilkie. chief of the secret
service, has submitted his annual report
to Secretary MacVeagh, covering the work
of the Office for the year ending June 20,
1909. The reports show that 400 arrests
We're made by the officers of the service
OF these $50 persons We're convicted; ;
thirty-seven are awaiting the action of
the court and thirty-nine investigation
by the grand jury; twenty-five were not
indicted and a few others were allowed
to go free. The nativity of the 400 ar
rested shows the American far in the
lead, with 277 and the Italian second
with sixty-three. New York furnished
the largest number of arrests, sixty.
and Illinois second, forty-six. OF the can

Chief Wilkie calls attention to the fact
that much of the counterfeit money in
circulation in New York is made in
Sicily by men intimately connected with

in the big city. The secret service has
been successful In discovering much of

DISCHARGES FOR DISABILITY

The military authorities have become
exercised over the large number of en-

recommendation which will tend to re-

This will have a direct result on pen

be counted as certainly an applicant
for pension, and probably a successful

that when soldiers are recorded as dis

RARE ADDITION TO MUSEUM
SPECIMEN OF THE CHINESE
TAKIN JUST MOUNTED.
Queer Beast That Inhabits High
Latitudes and Is Mighty
Hard to Catch.

The mounted specimen of the takiT
just added to the United States Ma
tional Museum is regarded as perhaps
the rarest species of the animal king
dom now known to science. The frs,
living specimen, Il fine young bull OF
the Bhutan representative of those GU
rious ruminants, is now the center OF
attraction in the ZOO in Regents Park
London. 1t is the first living specimen
of it's kind ever seen in Europe.
The name is of Chinese origin, and
is pronounced tarkin, and in a scien-
tific sense means ox-gazelle, or ox-ante-
lope in alIusion to the bovine form OF
the horns.
Species of this animal became known
to naturalists in 1850 by British resi-
dent of Kharamandu, where specimens
were brought down from the Mishmi
country, section of northern Assam
absolutely impenetrable to Europeans
on account of the hostile character OF
the natives.
With the exception of an occasional
pair Of horns brought into British ter
ritory nothing was known of the takin
until the French missionary. Pere Da-
vid, in northwestern China, sent some
skins to Paris in the early seventies
The late 7. W. Brooke. who was MUIR
dered by the natives of SZe-Chuew in
December. 1908. secured several speci-
mems of the Chinese taken.
The animal has an interesting his
tory, and there has been much contro-
yersy about the growth and shape OF
its horns in the male and female. II
has been suggested that the arctic and
American muskox is a near relative, in
asmuch as this animal, though restrict
ed to the arctic regions of the west
