IMPROVED PLAN IN ELEVATORS
POSTMASTER GENERAL HAS
BETTER SYSTEM INSTALLED.
Flashlight Signals and Pneumatic
Attachment for Opening and
Closing Doors.

The elevators in the Post Office Depart
ment building are being improved by the
installation of a fiashlight signal system
with a pneumatic alta chment for opening
and closing the doors.
Postmaster General Hitchcock was
much displeased with the primitive equip
ment of the department elevators when
he first came to the department, and
some time before his departure from the
city he gave directions to so equip the
elevators that they would be quite up
to-date.
Over each door of the elevators will be
placed pneumatic device connected with
the door by system Of levers so ar
ranged that full stroke Of the piston
opens or closes the door. The device in
the car consists of a button and finger
lock operated by the elevator conductor S
foot. The car, on leaving a given floor,
closes automatically and the door can
not be opened until the car is at full
stop level with the next floor.
Indicator and Lamp Over Door.
The f1ashhght system consists of an in
dicator and lamp over each door and a
signal lamp in the car. A passenger de-
string to signal the first car pushes either
the up or down button to set the signal,
direction he wishes to go reaches a point
one and one-half floors away the lamp
In the signal fixture in the car is illu-
minated
The light in the car will remain burn
ing until it has passed the floor on which
the signal was given.
Should the first car that receives the
signal be fully loaded and unable to take
ON any more passengers the operator, on
pushing button, transfers the signal to
another car, SO that it Is unnecessary for
the passenger to give second signal.
The two systems combined, it is said,
VIII result In increasing the efficiency of
the elevator service at least Is per cent.
Under the new plan it will be unreces-
cary for the operator to open or close doors
or to ADJUST the indicator signals, as the
car Will automatically take care of this
part Of the operation In addition there
will be a metal mechanical indicator
placed over each door, which will show q
waiting passenger the position of the car.

ing that seven years ago there were
only about forty acres devoted to the
cultivation of pineapples in Hawaii,

ago about 5000 eases were put up in
cans, while in 1908 the output was

the fruit growing in the fields.
President Dole has also arranged for
the sending out of little illustrated
books, giving recipes for serving the
fruit. Pineapple pie, pineapple pud-

ANU SEM ENTS.

Owing to an unfortunate accident
which robbed the dual machine of the
very use for which it was designed, the
largest crowd that Honolulu ever sent
to the Opera House went away from
the Cameraphone show last night great
ly disappointed. While the very first
picture was being reeled off, the regis
ter which connects the talking appara.
tus with the picture machine cracked,
snapped, and then broke in such a man
ner that If was impossible to repair it.
This delicate mechanism will have to
be sent to the Coast to be fixed as a
result of the accident last night, and
it will be fully month before the
Cameraphone is again in working order.
AS soon as the new register is re-
ceived, Manager Adams of the Opera
House announced last night that Harry
Werner, the owner of the machine,
would give free performance for all
of those who had tickets last night.
The Cameraphone has been proven a
success in the States, and Mr.. Werner
will endeavor to demonstrate its charm
in Honolulu before he gives up.
