Swoopng down with terrific force, n
gust Of wind literally tore the roof
from Walter Macfarlane s house at Ka-
hnluu. on windward Oahu, last Sun
day morning and flung it off to one
side. Without the slightest warning to
1he people in the house and in the
neighborhood, the whirlwnd came and
conquered. All was quiet before the
swoop and Immediately afterward the
mir became as calm as any day in June.
Mrs. Walter Macfarlane and her chill
dren were in the house at the time,
which was about s clock in the morn
ing. and although no one was hurt. the
shock of seeing the roof rise above
her head and sail away has left Mrs.
Mncfarane in very nervous state.
Walter Macfarlane was in field
some distance off, and just before the
house was struck, the wind picked hun
mn in air. whirled him around and
threw him, none too gently, on his
face. As he raised himself up from the
ground he saw the timbers splitting

itself down from the hills in one great
effort, but there were no subsequent

One rumor, which can not be con-
firmed, has it that Mrs. Macfarlane and
her children heard the ripping noise as
the roof was being torn loose and got
under bed. This, it was said, was
all that saved their lives, as the story
goes on TO the effect that the greater
part of the bracing timbers of the roof
tumbled directly inward. 1t was also
stated that Mrs. Macfarlane had re-
ceived some slight injuries, but this is
denied by Fred Macfarlane.

Chronicle = Royalty from opposite
sides of the earth came to San Fran
cisco yesterday and registered at the
Hotel st. Francis in the persons of
Princess Kawananakoa of the Hawai-.
ian Islands and Prince francesca Ro.
spigliosi of Italy.
Both are young, the Princess, aged
about 26, being widow of a few
months, and the Prince a bachelor
about 26 years of age. They were in
troduced New Years Eve on the
steamer from Honolulu by John Tarn
McGrew of Paris and Honolulu, and
last night in company of about a
dozen, including William NJ. Erb, the
Goldfeld mining man, and several
other congenial spirits, the Italian
Prince and the Hawaiian Princess par

late Prince David Kawananakoa, broth.

in the Islands. She is now on her way

after her recent bereavement. She il

considered beautiful young woman
and has regal figure.
She is the daughter of the late James
Campbell, hardy old Scot who went
to the Islands years ago, landed as a
ships carpenter, built and operated
the first sugar mill, amassed a for
tune rated at few millions, was kid
naped in San Francisco twelve years
ago and unsuccessfully held for ran
som. On his death his widow married
Sam Parker, former Chamberlain under
Queen Liliuokalani.
The late Prince David was cousin
of the late King Kalakaua and of ex-
Queen Liliuokalani and nephew of
the former Queen Kapiolani, consort
of King Kalakaua.
Prince Rospigliosi is from Rome and
is a member of notable Italian fam
lily. He is making a pleasure tour of
the world and is now ON his way home.
He is tall, athletically built, rather
comely young fellow, of very much the
same physical and facial appearance as
the Duke of Abruzzi, Polar explorer
and prospective husband of an Amer
lean heiress.
The Prince does not like American
interviewers and tried very hard yes

the Hawaiian Princess, so say those
who noted his attentions to the fasci-
mating young widow New Years Eve

PUAKO WIRELESS STATION
1 ALMOST ENGULFED in KONA

Puako wireless station on the Island
of Hawaii was almost washed away
yesterday during a kona holua prevail
ing there all day. The plucky wireless
operator, Albert Todd, stayed by his
key while sea water entered the station.
There was considerable relief at the
local wireless office at four o CLOCK yes
terday afternoon when Manager Balch
received the following news from Todd
via Barber's Point:
"At 1890 almost washed out com
pletely. Houses all upset. Battery
house washed fifteen feet away. One
accumulation jar broken. Things look
bad yet. Have got help"
AT noon the local wireless people
heard from Todd, but it was dismal
message that was ticked in from Bar
ber's Point, reading as follows:
~ don't know how much longer ]

desk, now, sending this. Big waves

quit. This may be goodbye for this
station. Sorry"
After the 4:l5 message came in an
The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-01-15

nouncing that help had arrived, the
young operator began to send in an ac-
emulation of messages as if he was
seated in cosy, dry, sunny office, with
pilikia thousand miles off.
In response to Todd's statement of
damage, Manager Balch will leave for
Puako today. Mr.. Balch was little
doubtful as to what the night would
bring forth, as there would be high tide
at midnight and the story of noon yes
terday might be repeated, but with
more alarming results.
The station at Puako is not far from
the beach and is about six feet above
ordinary sea level. The kona must
have blown with unusual severity to
have thrown the waves so far ON land.
Albert Todd, the operator, is an old
hand at the wireless key. When the
transport Sheridan went ashore at Bar
ber's Point few years ago, Todd was
the wireless operator there, his hut be
ing close to the lighthouse. He was 6
cool head then, and in spite of the rusl
of newspapermen, curiosity seekers
and persons connected with the govern
ment service, worked his key and at
tended to the wants of everybody as il

DEATH VALLEY "'SCOTTY"
COMING WITH MARINES

stock of gold ore was on the eob, and
"Scottyr didn't come through in the
manner that the menials expected.
Consequently there was big cry of
"false ALARM and the miner was con
demned right and left by the news
papers as vulgar notoriety seeker, as
he undoubtedly was. But "Scotty'
was nothing daunted, or he took the
long trail to the regions of Death
Valley, disappeared altogether for a
couple of months, and came out with
about $4,000 worth of ore.
"Wine, women and song" would be
the literal accounting for the dispose
tion of this money. "Scotty" decided
he would be an actor.man, and conse-
quently secured third-rate aggrega-
ton of transformers with which'he, as
leading man, toured the Pacific Coast.
To say that the miner.actor was given
a decidedly cool reception is putting it
mildly. The newspapers in the North
west simply "roasted the tar' out of
the man, and, exceedingly disappoint-
ed, he accumulated goodsized jag in
Portland, Oregon, and took the train
one night, leaving his company, unpaid,
behind him.
This was several years ago, and since
that time "Scotty" has broken into
print number of times, but mostly on
the strength of his former reputation.
His excuse that he is seeking the
"simple life" in order that he may
break away from the cocktail habit is
characteristic of "Scotty." The fact
of the matter is probably that he has
found himself without funds and with
no prospects for getting any, so has
enlisted in the ranks.

into the hoof. That means that horse
belongs to b Troop, Fifth Cavalry, and
his consecutive number is 2527. A
trooper can easily pick out his horse
and even a stranger can assemble the
horses by troops.''
The horses and ten mules in addition
were closely examined, as they landed,
by Veterinarians Norgaard, Case and
Monsarrat. Interest also centered ON
about sixteen CANNES belonging to
troopers. They ranged from spaniels
and greyhounds to French poodles and
mongrels. The French poodle was Il
fluffy little ball which could be held
in one hand.
The horses show the excellent care
given them by Veterinarian Van Agnew
and the troopers. There was little or
bruised, despite the heavy rolling of
the ship, which brought only about
2000 tons of freight.
On arrival at Leilehua the horses
will be turned into the Dowsett ranch
and kept in quarantine for about two
weeks, after which term they will be
available for army purposes.
One of the interesting features of
the Fifth Cavalry is the band. Being
attacned to the cavalry, it is mounted,
and on formal occasions does all it's
playing on horseback. For instance,
whenever general officer or distin-
guished official visits the cantonment
and the battalion is turned out as a
mark of honor, the band appears in
the van, mounted. On marches the
band accompanies the battalion. On
the last day of each month the bat
talon is mustered and the band plays
on horseback; and also every Saturday
morning when the guard mount cere-
mony is held the mounted band is on
hand. Other concerts will be given in
the grandstand. On such occasions
Leilehua will be just the place to visit
in motors.

"Deputy City and Couty Attorney"
Colburn's Criticism.
John Colburn. treasurer of the Ka-
piolani Estate, Ltd, wrote letter to
the board in regard to the selection
of city and county offices and criticiz-
ed the board for allegedly failing to
consider the question from the stand.
point of economy. The concluding para
graphs of his communication read as
follows:
"We regret that your committee saw
fit to neglect to confer with us upon
this subject, and believe we could have
| convinced, and can now convince, any
impartial committee that the offer we
are prepared to make would be prefer
able to the proposed lease of the Nc.
1ntyre building, especially upon the
score of expense, which is a feature
of lively interest to every taxpayer. We
respectfully submit that the proposed
lease of the Mcintyre building is en-
tirely out of line with the provisions
of economy as set forth in the plat.
forms of the different political parties,
and in the declaration of the members
of your honorable board.
"We therefore respectfully protest
against your honorable board incurring
the proposed expense for city and coun.
ty offices in the Mcintyre building, at
least until we have had an opportunity
| to show your board, or a committee
| thereof, what we have to offer in that
line; and we request that such oppor.
tunity be given us, and that our offer
be therefore impartially considered by
your honorable board.''
| Mr.. Mcclellan, who was on the com.
mittee to look for suitable quarters,
said the Kapiolani building had been
considered but that the location was
finally rejected on the ground that pass
ing street ears made too much noise
and this would disturb assembly meet
ings. The coolest offices would be or
the street side, and to get away from
noise the board would have to sit OF
the Eva side where the rooms were
close.
