"Br.r-r-ri The coolest weather l
ever knew in Honolulu
So, many have said during the past
few days, especially after the sun has
gone down, to polish his Bishop rings
and the cold, gray shadows try to locate
the places in your overcoat where the
moth corrupted. But it hasn't been so
very cold. 1t hasn't been so cold by
several degrees MS it has been before
in Honolulu. If you have shivered very
much lately it has been through mis-
take. The assistant weather man in
the Alexander Young Hotel says so and
has the statistics to prove it, showing
that what was the matter lately was
that the air was only thicker than
usual to the amount of a few decimal
points.
The lowest temperature recorded on
the Young Hotel roof during the past

search through the records of the
United States Weather Bureau disclcses
the fact that the lowest minimum tenn
perature recorded in the last fifteen
years was in February, 1902, when the
thermometer fell to 50. In March of
1891 and February of 1908, the thermo.
meter fell to SO, and in February and
December of 1900, the lowest recorded
temperature was 55.
During the last week of December,
1908, the one just past, the thermom'
eter fell only to 81 and that only
thrice, on December %, 26 and 81. The
average mean temperature for the
month was 71.9. During the last month
however, the weather bureau recorded
the highest atmospheric pressure, OF
30.2S barometric inches.
In round figures the average mean
temperature of 70 degrees for Decem.
Der, 1908, is full two points above
the lowest mean averages recorded
since 1890. The highest mean averages
for December during the years from
1890 to 1908 inclusive was "a and this
occurred in 1891, 1896 and 1907.
The total amount of rain which fell
during last month was 2.6s inches, and
the wettest day of the month came on
December 10 and 90. On each of these
days the Christmas shopper, provided
he or she made whole day stunt of it,
turned off an inch and a quarter of
moisture from the open umbrella.

Nothing is definitely settled as to
where the Mayor, will have his office

for some reason was refused. Mr.. Fern
then took the matter into his own

the two great gun-stations are we'll
along toward completion. AT present
some of the land desired by the War
Department has not been acquired
through condemnation proceedings and
the proposed barracks may have to be
built on it. Thus far no provision has
been made for barracks for the men
who will man the mortar batteries at
Diamond Head. Barracks, in time,
will have to be erected for coast ar
tillerymen at Diamond Head, at Wal
kiki and at Pearl Harbor. Each gun
battery Will require the services of a
large number of artillerymen. There
is some possibility of central artil-
lery camp being established at Wal
kiki on the swamp ground, near the
present Engineer camp, from which
companies will be detached to man the
Diamond Head and Waikiki guns,
changing at stated intervals.
The piles sunk at old Waikiki to
test the foundations for the gun.st
tons are sinking at the rate of about
an inch per day. The piles have been
driven to a depth of seventy feet and
are weighed down by twenty tons of
sand on top of each pile. The unlock
editor discoveries below the surface
will increase the cost very materially.
At first it was thought coral ledge
was about FIVE feet below the surface.
Drills went through this ledge, disclos-
ing water. Then the drills were sent
down to depth of thirty feet. Twelve
feet lower there was no bottom, and
new methods for testing had to be
adopted, finally resulting in the use of
the pile tests.

MRS. 1901 GAVE
HERSELF AWAY

A sensational story was published in
the Star yesterday to the effect that
the Washington authorities had sent to
Hawaii in company with Special
Agent Harr, Pinkerton detective. The
detective, according to the story, was
to look into the history of the ones in
stigating the Breckon s investigation,
while Harr was to investigate Breck-
ons. The Star located the Pinkerton
in their story and all but published an
interview with him.
The only fault that may be found
with this journalistic achievement is
that it could not possibly be so. There
is an act of Congress, passed few
years ago and still in force, which pro-
hibits any Federal department from
employing a Pinkerton or any other
private detective. 1t may be possible
that Secret Service man is in Hawaii
or has been here, and it is equally pos
sible that there may have been investi-
cations which have resulted in securing
a start in the present expose of the
Twelve Dollar Club, but there never
was, and never could be, while the act
of Congress prohibiting it remains in
force, any Pinkerton man here for any
Federal government work.
AS matter of fact, the present ex-
pose was made more or less by acct
dent, Mrs. Isoi herself relating the
facts as to the collection of money
with which to secure the services of
those supposed to be able to exert an
| influence over the police. The amount
at first collected prior to the arrival
of the Atlantic fleet, was thousand
dollars. This was hawked around town
and offered to several lawyers. Among
those to whom it was offered by Isoi
was w. A. Kinney and Judge Edings,
the services asked from each of them
being that they "see' Sheriff Iaukea
and induce him to pull Off his police.
Both these lawyers refused to have
anything to do with the matter. What
did become of the thousand is now be-
ing investigated.
In Connection with this Twelve. Dollar
Club investigation it is interesting to
note that one of the recent arrests of
japanese for importing women for i'm
moral purposes, supposed to be in con.
nection with these cases, was done in
reality on a warrant which had been
