HAWAII TWINS DYING
Kawewehi's bill to divide the County
of Hawaii into two counties, to be
the counties of West Hawaii and East
Hawaii, was up for last consideration
before the Senate should be given a
chance to get at it with the hammer,
an exercise the Senate is not likely to
neglect, they say, if the twin-Hawaii
bill ever gets that far.
Furtado declared the measure to be
full Of defects that could not be cured
in a week and moved to indefinitely
postpone.
Alfonso said it was full of contra
dictory ideas For example, a bill had
already been passed providing for the
appointment of deputy sheriffs by She
riffs, whereas this bill under consider
alton called for the election of deputy
sheriffs. There were other defects.
West Hawaii probably wanted to be a
separate county, in which event East
Hawaii would not likely want to in
terfere with West Hawaii keeping
house by herself
Kawewehi was ready to maize amend
ments; he believed the crookedness
could all be suaighteend out by Mon
day and moved consideration be defer
red till that time, A motion was also
made to defer until April 10,
All Oahu members and some Kauai
| gentlemen stood when a showing was
asked in favor of the motion to defer
! Hll the nineteenth. The motion to
put off till Monday however, prevailed
and it was so ordered.

And the result of this study was the
discovery of the great fact known as

he sought 70 connect this new discov-
cred attraction" with the force which
holds planets to their orbits and pre-
vents them from whizzing OFF into

proven that a falling body drops 16

medically increased force for every

He again startled the world and

ground, saying only:
"Oh. Diamond. you little know
what mischief you have done"
Then he set calmly to work on the
20-year task again. But the shock
proved too much for his overstrained
nerves. He broke down mentally and
physically. To make matters worse
he was practically penniless.
But with tardy generosity the gov.

show any interest in crops and WAS
forever sneakiLg off into corners to
read some book on science or me-

for such matters at the Grantham
Grammar school, and they weaned
him away from all concern about his

Isaac actually wanted to be a

the crust OF charity and who accom-
plished no good in life. Yet for such
a miserable career Isaac begged leave
to throw away an assured future as
prosperous farmer. And at last,
worn down by his pleadings. the moth

went to Cambridge university. There
