THE SENATE
FORTY-THIRD DAY.
Afternoon Session.


Woods presented a report Of the Sc
lect committee of Hawaii members on
House bill to prohibit the takino gr
fish with nets in the waters of the |
Bay of Hilo, saying:
Your committee finds that the Bay
of Hilo is four miles long and one
and one-quarter miles broad, and be- |,
lieve that if this bill should become |
law a large fleet of patrolling vessels !
would be necessary to enforce the
same. Your committee therefore rec
ommends that the bill be laid on the
table. If, however a majority of the
members of Senate do not agree with
the members of this committee, and
this bill becomes law, your commit
tee recommends the insertion of a
suitable amount in the appropriation
bill to provide for its enforcement
Adopted, tabling the bill.

port on the ACCESSIBILITY of having the

more expenditure.

TABLET FOR THE UsKNowN.


There has just been turned out by
the Hawaiian Iron Fence and MOnu-
ment Works a handsome tablet to be
mounted at the entrance to Kawaia-
hao cemetery as a memorial to the
unknown dead buried there. Many
of the graves of the very Old days
are unmarked-some of them of Ha
waiians of note and influence in those
times. 1t has been found impossible
to identify any large number of them
and the beautiful tablet is dedicated to
them all.
The tablet is Of dark granite and
the lettering is bold and clear. On the
front appear these words: In mem
orial to the dead whose ashes lie in
unmarked graves Of KawaiahaO ceme-
terry this tablet is affectionately dedi-
Gated" Beneath the inscription are

The tablet will be placed on eXhi-
bition at the King street offices of the
| designs, and in about a week will be
set upon a pedestal at the entrance
to the cemetery.

Mistake Somewhere.

A story comes from a Kentucky
town that is worth repeating. There
lives there a woman who says that
she has immediate communion with
the Almighty. and now and then de-
livers to those Of common clay a mes
sage that she has received from on
high. The fact that these messages
sometimes take on very Materials

One day she went into the office of
well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reveal
an awe-inspiring secret.

she announced.
The attorney looked up and smiled.

of all this, there is NO reason to be
lieve that agriculture is entering op

from the extravagant hopes raised IL

general record Is one of steady i'm

occasional bad season will always
have to be reckoned with. The pres

been unfavorable to the cultivation o.

that land usually brings satisfactory

to thank mainly that great crowd o

Miss Mary Hartman Soon to Be

becomes the. bride Of Robert Walton
Goelet.
1t has been admitted by relatives of
Miss Hartman and Of Mr.. Goelet that
had the financial wizard lived 4 few
weeks longer there would have been
an elaborate wedding in the hill top
castle at Arden. And now they admit
since q decent interval has elapsed
after the burial of the master Of Ar

The original plans were that Miss
Hartman should become Mrs. Goelet
before the snow whitened the forests
Of her fathers great estate. That meant
some time during October or early
November. Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman
and the other children of the family

the bride and bridegroom for their

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid Of "coffee Heart"

The Injurious action of Coffee on the
heart of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caf-
feline. This is the drug found by chem.
lists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof.
fee. as that was the principal cause
Of the trouble. She writes:
my heart was SO weak 1t could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and 1t would seem that
would never breathe again.

TRAVELLING SPEED OF BIRDS
Their, Flight Now Known to Be Much
Slower Than Has Been GEN
orally Supposed.

A writer on birds says: "If you
consult the usually accepted authori-
ties on the speed of birds in their
flight you are likely to be misled by
an exaggeration of from 100 to 300
per cent. This is because figures
have been given on hearsay. appear
ance and very superficial observation.
But recently American, English and
French observers have been compar-
ing notes, and are practically agreed.
after most careful calculation, on the
speed of the best-known birds. They
started with the carrier pigeon and
have made him a base Of comparison.
He has heretofore been credited with
ITO miles an hour, but it is now
agreed that he Is entitled to so. A
long distance, carefully conducted
test of 592 miles, from the Shetland
islands to London, showed that the
most rapid pigeons made 81 miles an
hour. On shorter distances none
made more than so miles. Because
frigate birds have been seen far from
land, and have been supposed not
to fly by night or to rest on the wa
ter, they have been credited with a
speed OF from $50 to 200 miles an
hour. II they did fly at that speed
they would have to overcome an at
mospheric pressure of from 112 to
100 pounds to the square foot of fly
ing surface. There is no certainty
that they fly more rapidly than pas
senger pigeon or that they do not fly
at night or do not sleep on the wa
ter The swallow that is indeed a
rapid flyer, has been credited with
1870 miles an hour, but he must be
cut down to 65 miles, and the martin
is FIVE miles behind him. though au-
thorities have placed him ten ahead"

We'll, the night came. the bell

was crowded, and every thing went OF
as the young man wanted 1t. When
the ceremony was over, the young
couple waited, instead of leaving the
chancel. So the bishop held out his
hands, shook hands with the bride
and then held his hand out to the
groom He had his hand deep in his
trousers pocket, and as the bishop
stood with hand out, he said. some.
