NOTiD[Es ABOARD
STEAMER MARIANA

There were a number of interesting
passengers aboard the S. s. Mariana
arriving from the Colonies yesterday
aud which resumed her way toward the
north last night. The company was
a most pleasant one and there was no
incident to mar the enjoyment of the
voyage to this port, with the exception
of an accident Detailing a Storage
passenger at Suva. While the steamer
was unloading her cargo a box fell on
the man, injnring his head to some ex-
tent. It was lucky thing that he
was not killed outright.
Among the through passengers were
Mr.. and Mrs. Chance, the latter a
multimillionaire whose home is in
Paris. They intend to stop over here
for a short time and are registered
at the Alexander Young Hotel. Il
Another millionaire arriving by the
Mariana is Mr.. Gibbons, who was ac-
eompanied by his doctor and valet, and
who expects to spend three weeks here.
He will return to his home in England
via the United States. Mr.. Gibbons
resides at Stratford on Avon, having
been born next to the home of Shake
speare.
W. G.. Allen, who is connected with
the sugar refinery at Suva, is a passen-
ger aboard the s. s. Mariana, returning
to his home in Vancouver.
Another notable passenger aboard
the steamer is F. d. Kidd, well-known
Californian mining man, who is re
turning to his home after three
months visit to friends in New Zea
land. Mr.. Kidd Is brother was manager
for the Auckland Electric Car Go. when
the concern was first started. The com
pany is privately owned, all the Other
systems in New Zealand being under
municipal ownership. In this connec
ton it is interesting to note that the
Auckland company is the only one OF
them all on a paying basis.

same principle applies to cod lis-
er oil. It's virtues are not in its
fatty matters much less in its
sickening taste and smell. No
consumptive, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, was ever
greatly benefited by the so-called

it gives to the nerves, the repul-

stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses Of smell and

being indigestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among the elements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-

highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
