The Weather Prophets.

knowledge has advanced so rapidly in
nearly every branch Of science that GER
tain exceedingly useful undertakings are
now and then made TO suffer unjuStly
through unfair comparison.
The Weather Bureau is a case in point.
II has grown from the smallest beginning
TO a position in which it reaches and
serves great portion Of the population,
and therefore is constantly in the public
eye. Its work is scientific, and conse-
quently it is judged by the standards Of
science, which are exacting. UnsucceSs-
full forecasts call forth sharp criticism.
Many of those who speak slightingly
of the work of the Weather Bureau are
guilty Of false reasoning. Because they
know that meteorology is a science, they
assume that it is an exact science. That
il never can be. II is as sensible TO de-
ride the practise of medicine on account
OF the mistakes of doctors as TO denounce
the whole meteorological service because
a local prediction fails OF fulfilment.
The number of those who receive the
daily bulletins of the Weather Bureau,
and the vastly greater number who con-
suit them, those interested in shipping,
engineers, physicians, men of science,
commission merchants and representa-
tiveS of scores of other occupations and
interests. These persons have learned
that in the main they can depend upon
the accuracy Of the work of the bureau
Every new characterization helps
the accuracy of the daily bulletin, even
though predictions of rain or snow can
never be made without the possibility OF
error, for precipitation depends upon a
multiplicity of things.
The person who makes the rash state
ment that the weather predictions are
not right half the time" is recommended
to keep diary Of the weather for per-
iod, say, OF six months, and TO paste the
daily weather forecast on the correspond
ing page for comparison.

Believing that the old woman had been
"conjured" and because she refused to
eat parched meal TO drive away the spell,
Adelia Miller, colored, of Lynchburg, on
Sunday afternoon tied Mandy Hart, a
negress fully seventy-five years old, to
her bed and whipped her with a strap.
In less than an hour the old woman was
dead. Late Sunday night the police went
to work on the case and in short time
Adeia was arrested. Dan Butler, who
lives in the same house, was arrested as
an accomplice, and he admits he tied the
old woman to her bed for Adelia TO whip.
There is hardly a doubt but the dead
woman had been i'll for month OF typhoid
fever, while the negroes with whom she
lived believed that she had been "con-
iured." Some Of the neighborhood ne
groes believe that Mandy was murdered
for her insurance policies, of which she
carried three. The police are investga-
ting.

KING Giles
BUGHOUSE

George f.. Giles, the King of Ha-
wall, left his throne at the police sta
ton this morning and is now en-
sconed in a new home at the insane
asylum. He was given a hearing a
1890 by Judge Andrade, and soon aft
er was turned over to Superintendent
Peterson.
Giles, who is part white is a native
of the Friendly Islands, aged %. Some
five months ago he came here from
California, having shifted from place to
place in the States for four or five
years Most of the time since his ar
rival he has worked for John Ouder-
kirk as a carpenter He lived at the Po-
pular House on upper Fort street.
Last Saturday. according to Mr. Gu
derkirk, Giles was laid off, together
with fourteen other men, owing to lack
of work Immediately ahead The con-
tractor did not notice anything unusual
the matter with him.
Deputy Rose and DR.. Emerson both
testified as to the delusion under which
the young man was laboring. He
stated that he had been elected last
Saturday King of Hawaii and was pre-
pairing to take charge of the govern
ment. His plans in relation to de-
partmental reorganization were as yet
incomplete; but one thing he would in
sist upon was the elimination of every
thing American in the government. The
/ American government he declared, had
cheated him out of a house one time
which had cost him $500 and he would
now get even.
: DR.. Emerson based his opinion of
insanity largely upon the mans lilo
gical and ridiculous talk. 1t was not
claimed or even suggested that the fell
low was a user of drugs, although the
sound of the wrangle over the Atcher-
( ley case has hardly yet died on the
atmosphere about the police court. It
was brought out however, that King
Giles was a heavy drinker at times, he
having appeared often at his lodgings
in decidedly hilarious condition.

IS DEAD
RELIEVED AFTER IA YEARS OF
SUFFERING WHICH BEGAN IN
REVOLUTION.

James Lane died last night at the
Lane residence at Alewa, this city,
after fourteen years of suffering and
more or less mental darkness which
was the result of his being made a
prisoner, with many others, as a re-
bel, in the revolution of 1895, and OF
his being struck in the head with the
butt of a rifle when he endeavored to
escape, in 1895, from the guarded po-
lice station wherein twenty-seven were
confined.
But a few days ago an operation,
the second during his illness, was per-
formed, a portion of the bone of the
skull being removed from pressing on
the brain and, after fourteen years, it
was hoped that he was on the road to
recovery, but other ailments Indirect
ly induced by his mental condition
fastened the end of him who was nat
urally in feeble condition following
the delicate operation, and he died OF
dropsical affection.
James Lane was one of those who
Joined in the vain movement for res
toration of his country's individuality
and at the time of his Imprisonment
as rebel in the police station, the
old armory, the jail and the police sta
ton were full of Hawaiians and their
sympathizers.
Joseph j. Fern, now Mayer of Ho-
noluIu, was a prisoner with Jimmy
Lane, as was also Ferns brother, Hen
ry, and many others who are today
prominent citizens of this Territory
The twenty-seven confined to the po-
lice station had been kept in the cells
below for number of days and then
were taken up to the police court
room, number of armed guards herd
ing them in.
While being marched upstairs from
the cells to the court room one of the
guards, man who died only the 9TH
er day, teasingly told the prisoners

Very truly,
GEO. OSBORNE.


that they were soon to be. taken out
and shot.
James Lane became respondent up
on becoming a prisoner, feeling that
his cause was lost, and when he was
told that he was to be shot with the
Others he commenced to form plans
for escape. Two or three weeks OF
confinement in the court room were
enough for him and at least he broke
through the line of guards, knocked
three of them down stairs, made the
fight of stairs from the center land
ing to opposite what is now the door
to the sheriff's office, lettering over
two more guards, only TO be smashed
in the head with the butt of a rife
swung by mounted guard outside,
who at the time was standing near
the curb, the man who delivered the
blow being today an employee of the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany.
James Lane was always tenderly
cared for by his brothers, the idea OF
sending him to an asylum being re-
pellant to their sense of the consider
alton due their afflicted brother.
At times he was violent. but all that
was possible was done to relieve his
suffering At times he was entirely
rational and on those occasions ex-
hibited a rare talent for conversation
and showed his splendid education,
being deeply interested in and CONVEX
SAINT with history and literature
He was giant in strength, as may
be noted from the way he handled five
armed guards in his effort to escape
Imprisonment fourteen years ago.
James Lane was the son of the late
William Carey Lane, mariner and far
mer who at one time controlled the
major portion of the lands of Koo-
lauloa and Koolaupoko There sur
vive him his brothers Patrick, of Wal
alua, and Lot, John and Richard OF

THE OUTRIGGER CLUB

EDITOR STAR: The affairs of the
Outrigger Canoe Club are moving
along, and it now looks as if Ford's
idea of reviving the interest in the old
Hawaiian sports is to be carried out,
if not improved upon. The new Off
Gals have started in in earnest to put
things in ship shape order and to DO
them upon a business-like basis.
For instance, the dancing hall is now
being altered improved and strengthen
ed, and in such manner as to increase
it's beauty and durability. This dane
ing hall, we may say, is to play no un-
important part in the future. And it
is proposed not only to use it for dane
ing, but as a social hall and club house
where afternoon tea parties and clam
chowders etc, can be served and
where the members can bring their
children and unite their funds for an
outing.
Here will be an ideal place for the
children to paddle the small canoes in
the smooth water of the lagoon, right
under their mothers eye; or they can
play in the sand, or battle in the sea,
or lie in the shade of the trees, or do
any old thing they wish. 1t is also
proposed to have this hall and the
grounds fitted with electric light, later
on, and to make the whole place a
thing of beauty and joy forever. 1t
is also proposed to put the grounds in
better order, to build a wall along the
side of the grounds, and to repair the

ALSO
IN BIG PARADE
MORE COMPETITION FOR THE
PRIZES IN THE BIG ANNUAL
FLORAL PARADE.

There is a good opportunity for per-
sons who may not be able to person
ally take part in Honolulus big Floral
Parade on account of press of bust
ness, to help none the less eifectually
by making it possible for others who
are anxious to take part, to do so.
Frank Atherton, Chairman of the COM
mittee on Schools, reports that praC-
tically all of the schools in the city
want to be represented, but that some
of them will not be able to do so un-
less they are assisted in the matter OF
expense connected with decorating an
automobile or float. The pupils OF
these institutions feel keenly the dis
appointment of not being represented
when other and perhaps rival schools
are going to take part, and it is to
be hoped that there will be enough in
terest among patrons of the schools
to supply the comparatively small
amount of money necessary for every
one of them to have some kind of
decorated vehicle to represent them.
Kamehameha Schools, Oahu College,
the High School, Aliiolani College,
and Kawaiahao Seminary have all re-
ported that they will take part and
some others may be able to do so;
but there are a number which state
frankly that they cannot see their
way clear to spend the SIS to $25 ne
cessary to decorate vehicle. The
general committee expects to be able
to furnish automobiles or carriages
without cost to schools who will dec
crate them, but will not be able to
do more than this, so it is simply a
matter of getting money enough to
buy bunting, flags, etc. which the stu
dents will be only too glad to make
use of.
Chairman w. H. McInerny, of the
Committee on Hawaiian Processes is
feeling easy in the assurance that his
section has its success assured. Three
of the Islands have already secured
their representatives, and only Hawai-
and Maui have not yet been heard
from. Mr.. McInerny wroUe to both OF
these by yesterdays mail and expects
to hear something definite within a
few days. Should the two largest ISL
ands not be able to send a Princess,
each of them is well represented in
Honolulu, and it will be possible to
supply their Princess without diffleul-
ty, although it is much preferred that
the Islands each name their choice.
The name of Kauai's representative
has not yet been learned, but assur-
ance has been received from Francis
Gay that he has one selected, who will
come supplied with her own horse.
Molokai, as stated yesterday, will be
represented by Mrs. Thos. G. Black
well, while Mrs Harry Holt is Oahu's
selection. Mr.. McInerny hopes to get
his corps of thirty or more children
who will act as guard of honor to the
Princesses, gathered together within
the next week, for a preliminary drill;
it being his intention that the chill
dren shall ride in various formations
during the march. This part OF the
parade promises to be especially effec-
tive.
