HERE To SEE

Australian Life Saver Will See
How HaWaiians Ride
the Rollers.

Walter Y. H. Biddell of Waverley,
New South Wales, life governor of
the Royal Life Saving Society and of
the affiliated Surf Swimming and Open
Sea Life-Saving Association of n. s.
w, arrived ON the Makura to remain
here a few months for the benefit of
his health and to observe the method
of surfboarding at Waikiki Beach. He
brought many letters of introduction
from the various societies to which he
belongs, addressed to the secretary of
the promotion committee. One from
Waverley introduces Mr.. Biddell as
acting president and examinerin- chief
of the association there. The secre-
tary of the association, in this letter,
sets forth that Mr.. Biddell is pio-
neer Of surfbathing for Australian
beaches. Mr.. Biddell's untiring and
valuable services in the advancement
of the cause of life-saving on Austria
liam ocean beaches have been especial
ly recognized by the Prince of Wales,
as president of the Royal LifeSaving
Society.
Mr.. Biddell has trained many classes
in life-saving without the aid of the
lifeline. as well as with it,. at Bronte,
the toughest beach on the New South
Wales coast. He has devoted consider
able time to the invention of lire-sa.-
ing appliances, among which is the
''Dr. Lees Torpedo-shaped Life Buoy, -
which can be taken 0us through al
most any sea and which experts de-
clare to be an improvement on the
ordinary life belt. Mr.. Biddell brought
one Of these buoys to Honolulu to have
Islanders express an opinion as to its
merits.
Mr.. Biddell anticipates much pleas
ure in learning the ways of the surf
at Waikiki and will be taken in tow
by George Osborne Of the Outrigger
Club.

SURVEY MONEY
IS SET ASIDE
Thirty Thousand Dollars to Be
Spent by the Territory the
Coming Two Years.

One more step towards obtaining a
perfect and minute scientific knowl-
edge of the Islands for purposes of
making surveys for topographic maps,
studying possibilities of water-economy
and waterdevelopment, was made yes
terday when the board to determine the
expenditure of the special fund created
by the special income tax law set aside
100000 to gather data for photographic
and topographic maps.
The board, consisting of Marston
Campbell, J. P Cooke and E. V. Will
cox came to this decision at meeting
yesterday and the resolution drafted
making the appropriation was approved
at once by Governor Frear.
This stands as an evidence of good
faith on the part Of the Territory that
it will share the burden of the work
tentatively commenced by the federal
government in laying the foundation
for the future scientific work in con
serving the water resources of the
various islands. In his report to Camp
bell, Mendenhall states that if the Ter
ritory is willing to pay the field ex-
penses of the biologists the government
would probably pay their salaries and
advises two $1,000 appropriations, one
each for the winters of 1901 and
1911-12. The response of the Territory
was far in advance of this figure.
The wording of the resolution brings
the appropriation. If it can be called
such, into use at once, to be expended
under direction of the superintendent
of public works. The resolution is as
follows:
Resolved, That there is hereby al
lotted and authorized to be expended
under the direction of the superin-
tendent OF public works of the Terri
tory of Hawaii. out of the one-fourth
of the special fund provided by Act 80.
Laws of 1909. for the development. con
servation, Improvements and utilization
of the natural resources of the Terri
tory. the sum of $4,000 for each of
the fiscal years ending June 80. 1910.
and June 80. 1911. for a photographic
and topographic survey of the Territor,
of Hawaii. the sum hereby allotted for
the current fiscal year to include the
sum heretofore authorized 10 be ex-
pended for q photographic survey"

START WORK On
PHONE BUILDING
The Mutual Company Has Com
menced ExcaVating for
New Structure.

Preliminary work on the construc-
ton of the new telephone building on
Adams lane has already been begun,
following the letting by the Mntual
Telephone Company of the contract for
the excavating work. The ground is
now being cleared and the work of
digging for the foundations is in
progress.
The telephone building will adioln
the proposed new Y. NJ. c. A. building.
and there was a question as to whether
the two structures should come to-
gether and have but one wall between
them, or whether there should be two
walls and an air chamber George F..
Carter, however, stated yesterday that
the telephone company is planning on
leaving a ten-foot space between the
two buildings.
Meanwhile. the company is going
ahead steadily with the work of put
ting its wires underground. 1t is stat
ed, furthermore, that the board of SUI
pervisors has practically decided to
give up the losing fight for which it
had no justification, and to offer no
further opposition to the telephone
company. In effect, the supervisors
eoncede that the superintendent <of
public works has jurisdiction over the
streets and that they themselves have
no right to interfere or to try to pre-
vent the company from putting its
wires underground. This is the result
of conference held between represen-
tatives of the telephone company and
certain of the supervisors. The board
will not insist upon the company tax
ing out permits or paying an inspec-
ton fee.

Killing of Birds by Japanese
PoacherS Cause of the
Federal Action.

Max Schlemmer is no longer the King
of Laysan. He has been deposed; his
kingdom has been taken away from
him and he is now a king without a
throne, monarch exiled from his land.
There has been no revolt among the
subjects of King Max. His rule has
been mild and benefcent and his peo-
gle have always been well satisfied.
It is only a case of a stronger power
stepping in and taking away his land.
The United States government is the
power that has .deposed the King of
Laysan and annexed his country.
Yesterday The Advertiser received
the following cablegram from its spe
.cial correspondent at Washington:
"Ballinger has cancelled Max Schlem-
mer's guano lease. holding that the Ter
Titorv had no authority to lease the IS
land of Lavsan.'

APANA USED
WATERP|PE
OIdtime Gambling Den Raided--
Located Up Among the
RafterS.

To the daring and ingenious plan
the successful raid made last night
about eleven o clock by Deputy Sheriff
Rose and officers on the gambling den
in the fourth story of the Junction
building, where King street and Bere-
tania avenue meet in Paiama. Twenty
five Chinese, many of them oldtime
professional gamblers, were caught in
the joint, which is located in the fourth
story directly under the roof, a room
which has been used for years for
gambling purposes, difficult place for
police officers to enter on account OF
the many stalrways, glass doors, watch
men, barred doors and electric bells.
Apana watched his chance to climb
slender waterpipe at the rear of the
building which landed him in the see
ond story where a kitchen Is maintain
ed. He hid in a dark corner of q hall
way until two Chinese came up the
main stairway and were admitted by
the Waterman when Apana made a
dash and tried to get through the doors.
The Waterman slammed the door and
almost mashed one of Apana S fingers,
and then yelled and endeavored to con-
meet the electric bell wires. Apana
dashed up the stairway to the third
story. broke down the door leading to
the attic and on arriving in the room
found the gamblers scattering from the
table and making an effort to appear
at ease. The deputy and other Off
GERS were right upon Apana S heels.
Some of the d0minoes and dice could
not be found. A long search under
the rafters and above the third story
ceiling brought them to a place where
finger marks in dust covering a piece
of wood wedged between rafters. They
lifted this, turned the glare of search
hgh5s into the opening, and about
twelve feet below in the space between
wall partitions saw the missing evil
dence. This was procured by removing
a board in the room below.
The electric bell is ingeniousIy hid
den between the wall partitions. The
Waterman IS All Nun who formerly had
an interest in the games running in
the old Liliha livery stable. The pres
emit game is looked after by All Nun on
behalf Of the leading gambler of Wal

A great pin! siciaa oncr remarked that, despite ifs compleXity, there was no organ of the body reader to adapt itself 10 circumstances or more caph

When we have regard to the tremendous Woek the hcart accompishes we might well with Wesley say, Strange that harp of thousand strings should keep In tune so long" Estimated in scientific fashion, mans heart in twenty four hours performs an amount of work which if represented by the energy de mandcd for big lift would raise l2o tons of weight one foot high. Such calculation can be accurately deter mined by measuring tbe force expeDd- ed in one beat or cycle of movement of the heart and multiplying the short work into that of the day.
