Must Have Soft Spot.

The glider which has been under con
struction at Leilehua, the work beng
directed by a cavalry officer, has not
been fond a great success so far. 1t
has been an experiment and has been
worked at various odd moments. The
trouble has been to find a proper ele-
vation from which the machine could
be used with safety to the operator.
It is not equipped with a motor and
can only be started from an elevation
and the aviator would have to find a
soft place TO fall upon.
Messrs. Scully and Lewis, who are
cooperating with Mr.. Hall, representa-
tive of Mars. Baldwin and Schriver,
who are to arrive here next week Fri
day. are carrying on their preparations
for the meet. II is possible one of the
aviators may he sent over to Hilo for
the big holiday race meet to be held
on New Years Day.

COL. Walter NJ. Schuyler, Fifth Cav
airy. temporary commander Of the mill
rary district of Hawaii, stated yester-
dav that he had received no word from
the department of California to deslg-
nate any Of the officers stationed on
Oahu to observe the flights of aero
planes here First of all there had
been nothing definite about the avla-
tors coming here.
Colonel Schuyler stated that he would
like to see the three aviators-Mars,
Baldwin and Schriver-make flights
all over, or above the Leilehua plain
where Schofield Barracks is located.
He felt that aeroplane flights here
would interest the army men, and
fiji ghts at Schofield Barracks would be
to his liking. But there was nothing
official in his desire to see the flights.
There is a feeling among service
men, however, that soon or late, the
war department viii make demonstra-
tions in aviation over the Leilehua
plains, in the belief that the aeropane

through two thousand miles Of space
and struck the wireless mast at Kahu-
ku, and was received by the operator
and forwarded to town, but the one to
whom it was addressed was not known
here and the message has not been de
livered. but will be today.
feature of the reception of the
wireless message is that it was sent
direct from San Francisco TO Honolulu
and was received intact, in spite of the
long distance it travelled through space
and over a great expanse Of ocean.
As far as known the message was
from an aviation committee in San
Francisco and directed to Miss Ebid
Gregg, one of the most popular San
Francisco society debutantes, who ar
rived here last week with Deputy Col
lector of Customs Hamilton, of San
Francisco. and Mrs. Hamilton, who arr

gloomy and disagreeable, all

things are only participated in at
this time by the most ignorant

proud of the fact that there are
but few of these in our commun-

and the very idea that they will
continue to remain in this low
state Of civilization, and grope
their way on in darkness, blend
ed by the blackness of sin, super
stition and ignorance, makes a
grewsome picturd for the more
intelligent and law-abiding citi-

tomary with the KSmacs to give
a feast at this season of the year
by setting up evergreen trees,
hanging lights in them, and CIV

the Christian people said: eve

on active interest to be taken by fruit
growers in the smudge pot or orchard

frost. and they will be extensively
used this spring. or rather be on
hand for use IL the frost makes their
use necessary. A test has been made
here OF two kinds of heaters. Twenty
heaters of each kind were used. burn
ing for two hours and the temperature
was raised from five to IL degrees
within a certain radius OF the heaters.
It is stated that from 80 to 100 heaters
are required for each acre. The cost
of fuel Is not great. The heater
which uses coal will consume about
40 pounds of coal in eight hours, worth
about 10 cents. and an oil heater will
consume about one and a half gallon
of crude oil in the same time and the
cost is about the same,
Further tests VIII be made next
week at the Farmers school, which
will be held at the university. w.
H. Brereton, president of the State
Bank of Provo. has announced that
his bank will loan fruit farmers money
for the purchase of heaters free of in

question OF securing the title to the
school property in the county When
school consolidation took place here
there was q good deal of opposition TO
it and many of the trustees refused To
turn over the property in their charge.
and practically nothing was done in the
matter after the question of the validl-

consolidating the districts was taken
INTO court. That matter is still in the
courts and as some of the old trustees
