"We want only white people, to COM
pete with the Hawaiians," " says Judge
Stanley. 1t is well that the Hawaians
have learned in time what Judge Stan
ley and his Republican friends are aim
ing for.
Johnnie Lane says that if he is elect
ed, he will not take advice. Probably
not; he never did yet, which accounts
in large part for his political non-suc-
cess. But, if by any mischance he
should find himself rattling around in
the mayors chair, he would need ad-
vice good deal more than the present
incumbent ever did-and Mayor Fern
had sense enough to take it. But Lane
needn't bother his head about a pri-
vate secretary. He won't need one,
since he is not going to be elected.

When two boys are fighting and one
begins to cry and yell 'you're liar,
you re liar" he is usually about ready
to run. That is the condition of the
Republicans now.

Get out and hustle. Election is only
little over two weeks off, and you

R. HI. Trent ought not to be elected,
according to one of the Republicans
spellbinders, for the awful reason that
he belongs to the Methodist church.
That's reason that sounds rather pc
culiar in Hawaii.

There isn't anything left for the Dem
ocrats to claim they did for Kaimuki,
since one of the Republican candidates
claims that he got the electric lights,
the new reservoir, the ten-minute serv-
ice on the rapid transit, and the new
street work which has been done in that
district He has not yet claimed the
credit for the cool breezes which blow
nor for the sunshine, but he still has

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT SAND
Pouring Water on the Little Dry Parti-
cIes Causes Them to Cling
CloseIy Together.

A very interesting fact about the or
binary sand of the seashore Is that
pint of dry sand and half pint of
water when mixed do not make pint
and half, but good deal less. If
you fill childs pail with dry sand
from above the tide-mark, and then
pour on to it some water, the mass of
sand actually shrinks. The reason is
that when the sand Is dry there Is air
between its particles, but when the
sand particles are wetted they adhere
closely to each other; the air is driven
out, and the water does not exactly
take an equivalent space, but occupies
less room than the air did, owing to
the close clinging together Of the wet
PARTICLES: II you add little water to
some sand under the microscope, you
will see the sand particles move and
cling closely to one another.
Capillary attraction'-the ascent OF
liquid~in very fine tubes or spaces-is
a result of the same sort of adhesive
action. II you walk on the firm. damp
sand exposed at low tide on many
parts of the seashore when it Is Just
free from water on the surface, you
will see that when you put your foot
down the sand becomes suddenly pale
for some seven inches or so all round
your foot. The reason is that the
water has left the pale-looking sand
(dry sand looks paler than wet sand),
and has gone into the sand under your
foot. which is being squeezed by your
weight. The water passing into that
squeezed sand enables its particles to
sit tighter or closer together, and SO
to yield to the pressure caused by
your weight. You actually squeeze
water Into" the sand, instead of
squeezing water "out" of 1t as is
usually the case when you squeeze
part Of wet simultaneously a cloth
or sponge. When you lift your foot
up, you find that your footmarke is
covered with water-the water you
had drawn to that particular spot by
squeezing it. 1t separates as soon as
the pressure Is removed.
