Hawaiian Japs, Strike.

Honolulu.-Every Japanese labor
er on the Honolulu plantations walk
ed out on strike today, demanding
higher wages. A quiet attempt is
being made by the leaders of the
japanese to enlist the sympathy of
plantation employees OF other nation
alities and the situation is extremely
critical.
The japanese consul is on the scene
and has promised there shall be no
violence. The strikers however, are
well organized and it is feared cannot
be held in check if agitators succeed
in melting them to riot
There is some dissension among
the strikers because they are being
assessed for maintenance of the
strike. This is looked upon as ia
vorable indication by the planters,
who hope that by disrupting the or
ganization they will be able to break
the strike.

AGE RECORD HELD
BY FOUR BROTHERS

New York.-Such quarters as the
one made up Of the Leach brothers of
this city are exceedingly rare. Their
combined ages total S44 years. an
average of SO years, which is "go-
ing some," to use the vernacular, says
Port Huron (Mich) special to the
Herald.
Each one has a beard of snowy
witness. which gives him a patri-
archal appearance, and it is a happy
ing together each with his cane and
wearing a smile that radiates good
nature on all whom he meets.
In spite Of their greatly advanced
years, each one having served more
than his allotted time, these brothers
enjoy life to the fullest. Each is
possessed If adj his faculties. and,
strangest of ALL none Of these brothers
has been i'll day in his life. They
are not active in their advanced years
but all live a retired life, and they
enjoy their existence about as well
rs kids in knickerbockers.
In addition to the manner in which
they have pulled the wool over the
eyes of Father time. every one of the
brothers can brag some on the weight
question. Each one tips the scale at
more than 200 pounds, and altogether
rhey are about as husky a quartet
for octogenarians as will be found in
a search the world over.

MODERATION IN PHYSICAL
EXERCISES.
(sacred Heart Review.)

NpdNIcu I1tdTl REVIEW
Moderation in physical exercises is a
necessity. Intemperance in this direc-
ton carries with it the same risks and
penalty as all other forms of interper-
ance. The great value of daily sys-
tematic walking, which the American
people seem to be neglecting more as
the years go by, lies mainly in the fact
that it is a natural exercise, that it
must be done in the open air and nerve
nourishing sunshine fortified by the
Vitalizing and invigorating influence of
pure atmosphere.
The attitude, too, for proper walking
is perfect, animated erectness with
shoulders held down and pushed well
back While the stomach is held in,
the head erect, the chin squared and
drawn in towards the chest, the stride
should be made from the hip, and the
heel should meet the turf before the
toe. This, the best and only style of
proper walking, can be easily acquired,
and the resultant benefits of it's adop-
ton both in the improved air, health,
and physical symmetry of its support
ers are more readily experienced than
in any other known exercise.
You will observe that l speak of daily
walking exercises in proper form and
in practice of proper judgment. To the
great majority of people of both sexes
such walking will prove a benefit, and
to many a real pleasure, though there
are some others, largely in the minority,
TO whom pedestrianism in any form is
hard. I personally have known athletic
men who could row a mile with less
exertion than they could walk it in an
ordinary decent pace, but, as / say,
they are the exceptions who do not APP
pear to derive as much benefit from this
as from some other form of exercise.
