The Park Theater.

The public is asked to bear in mind
that this particular Park theater is on
Fort street below Beretania and it is
quite the most comfortable place of
amusement in the city from the fact
that it is in the open, with just enough
shed over portion to prevent the rain
falling on the audience. So much has
been printed of the Wright Brothers
aeroplane that the appetite of the pub
lie has been whetted for it. The ma
chine in full flight will be shown at
the Park tonight and it viii prove even
more interesting than the dirigible air
ship of Zeppelin because it is of an en-
tirely different pattern. The Wrights
have put their ship before the greatest
nations of the world and have made
good. It is a yankee invention and
is destined to become factor in any
great war that may occur in the flu
ture. This picture should be seen by
everyone. Tt is good. 1t is instructive.
1t is worth while. There will be other
good things at the Park tonight in the
picture line and the httl girls will sing
new songs.

At the Bonine.

Nearly all of the pictures to be
shown at the BONNIE motion picture
theater under the Young Hotel, on
Hotel street, tonight are of the edu-
cational sort but so entertaining as to
leave pleasant memories. Rural Life
and Scenes in Korea" is full of in
teresting matter that is entirely new
to the Honolulu public but which it
will enjoy because SO many of the ma
tives of that "Hermit Kingdom" are
resident here. Stockholm and Naples
come in for illustrations in the films
which show the buildings and streets
of the city and the pastoral scenes
away from the crowded marts. Paris
will be seen, and her wonderful dog
show besides others that viii both in
terest and amuse May and Keoho in
clever representations will be on the
bill for tonight.

of history that burnt cork has beaten

With the Jolly Tars from the U. s.
S. West Virginia the fun is in most
cases spontaneous, rather than studied,
and the enjoyment of an audience is
increased in consequence. There will
be good songs at the Opera House to-
night and Saturday night when the
boys appear for the benefit of the AS
ISOLATED Charities and there should be
a large crowd to witness the acts and
hear the music. An acrobatic act of
generous proportions is in the program
and the boys who comprise the quartet
are unusually clever. Not the least to
be offered is the music to be furnished
by the orchestra from the flagship. This
will be a feature worth considering
for the boys can sing and dance better
when the music is as it should be.
No one should overlook the perform

appreciation of the work of the jolly

PILOTS OF The AIR
BROUGHT TO THE U. S.

NEW kind of talent is being
"a brought across the ocean from
= Europe.
Pilots of the air are coming from the
older country to handle the flying ma
chimes purchased by wealthy Americans
who are interested in the latest sport
Heading the list of those who have
purchased flying machines is Mr.. Rod
man Wanamaker. vice president of the
famous firm of John Wanamaker Rod
man Wanamaker is son of John Wan
amaker.
During his recent stay in Europe Mr.
Wanamaker bought a Bleriot monoplane
This is the kind of air craft In which
Bleriot made his record-breaking trip
across the English channel.
Mr.. Wanamaker. who is a member OF
the Aero Club of France, became so en-
:husiastlc over this remarkable exploit
that he at once purchased one of the
same kind of machines, and 1t is soon &c
be tested in the new world. MIR. Wanna
maker will not attempt to handle 1t him
self. He does not regard himself as ex-
pert enough to attempt fight. Hence
he finds it necessary to bring 10 the
United States somebody to sail 1t for him
This makes MIN only one of many rich
men who will have to import air pi OTIS
until the United States catches up and
gets men who can do the work
Mr.. Wanamaker has plenty Of company
in this respect.
1t is surprising how many rich men
have taken up the sport of aerial navi-
cation.
H. Hayden Sands, wealthy New York
er. has Bleriot monoplane and an An
toiaette aeroplane.
Edward Stone OF Boston has a Bleriot
moEoplane. being one OF the many anna
teu.s who were naturally attracted to
this particular type by the feat of the
flight across the English channel.
He has further company in Frank
Mitchell OF Salt Lake City.
Russell A. Alger OF Detroit, Mich,
demonstrated his patriotism by being one
of the first purchasers OF Wright BIZ
plane. one of the foremost machines that
are the product of American genius.
X. .gdon Gould, son of George Gould.
is another believer in the Bleriot mono
plane.
A. W. Warner of Beloit, Wis, has q
Curtiss biplane.
D. 8. Thomas, son of the famous manu-
facturer of automobiles. is building his
own flying machine at Buffalo. N. Y.

ity, for he is building his own machine at

Lightning at Gregory.

Gregory Times: During the storm
Friday night a bolt of lightning struck
the Al Walton house about o'clock
in the morning and seemed to go over
the whole house, as every room was
damaged to some extent. 1t struck the
chimney and went into the partition
between the hall and the boys room
and it burst out on both sides, the
main bolt going through the boys
room, striking a bureau which stood
against the wall, tearing the glass and
top off, then jumped across the boys
bed in big ball of fire right over the
boys and burst out through the wall to
woven wire trellis which ran to the
ground. The boys bed is iron and it.
is thought that the only thing that
saved them was that they were Sleep
ing on a feather bed. Another bolt
went down through the floor from a
post of Mr.. and Mrs. Walton's bed and
threw plaster over the children sleep
ing on the floor down stairs. Before
going down it broke two lamps on the
table, one of them being lit at the
time, but went out when struck. If 1t
had not there would have been a ter
rible fire, as the oil was scattered all
over the room. One bolt went out
through the gable and one followed
the ridge, going down the northwest
edge of the roof, ripping path about
foot wide through the shingles. The
strangest part of all is that none of
the family was hurt and not one got a
shock.
On Saturday night a bolt struck the
upper story OF the land Office about the
middle of the south side, and tore the
frame of one of the big windows to
pieces, but not breaking a glass. No
damage appears at all on the other
side. The bolt must have gone out on
the telephone wires, which were at

Tilden Girl Has Pet Skunk.


Probably the only pet skunk in cap
tivity is owned by Miss Lucille Bliss,
daughter of d. w. Bliss, of Tilden.
City Clerk Ed Harter who was at Til
den for a short visit with the Bliss
family Thursday was much surprised
when the young lady requested him
to come and see her pet which she
had enclosed in cage.
When she opened the door the
skunk commenced a series of dances
and finally jumped on the young
lady's shoulder rubbing it's nose on
her cheek and in every way acting
like a pet kitten. The skunk follows
Miss Bliss wherever she goes and
obeys her commands with the obed.
fence of a pet dog that has gone
through much training.
Neighbors disdain the idea of hav.
ing a skunk for pet but this does
not break the close attachment the
skunk and Miss Bliss have formed for
each other.
Among the other pets which Miss
Bliss has is a squirrel which also is
playful and the three friends spend
delightful hours romping on the
lawn.
Owing to the fact that Miss Bliss
has had this skunk ever since its
birth it has become almost as harm.
less as a kitten. From her own hand
does the skunk receive its daily meals
which consist of bugs, worms, and for
dessert usually he gets a frog for
which he shows great relish.

eREeoRY's VERSION OF GAME.
Gregory Paper Tells Story as Seen by
the Visitors.


Here's what the Gregory Times has
to say about the Norfolk-Gregory ball
game which ended in a row last week:
The champions went down to Nor
folk Friday and played the Norfolk
team to a standstill, neither side being
able to score in the seven innings,
when our boys refused to play without
new umpire, as Howe, of Norfolk,
had given them rotten deal all along,
calling men out who were clearly safe,
Every time Gregory got a man on third
he would call strikes until he retired
the side. Norfolk never got man to
third and didn't have look in. Greg
DRY outplayed them at every point, but
couldn't beat the imp and the game
broke up in a row over decision.
Gregory objected to Howe going in
before the game started, but the Nor.
folk management promised square
deal and to change if he gave any rank
decisions, but when the pinch came
they wouldn't do it. The imp calls
the game forfeited to Norfolk 9 to 0.
The break came over decision at
third. One man was out, Haak Of
Norfolk was on second and Anderson
on first, when the batter hit to Ora
ham, who was near the line between
second and third, and when he at
tempted to touch the runner out Haak
ran ten feet out of the line to avoid
him, whereupon Graham threw to first,
knowing that Haak was out under the
rules for running out of the lines, but
Howe called him safe.
Our team refused to go on with
Howe in the game, although Norfolk
offered to call the man out on third,
because our boys knew that they just
couldn't get fair deal from Howe
who had it in for Gregory on account
of some past grievance.
