SAILING SHIPS
BEING LAID UP
Only Two Old Planters Line
Boats Retained in
Service.

Two Of the crack sailing vessels Of
the old Planters line win hereafter
be kept on the San Francisco Honolulu.
Hilo run, and it is likely that by the
end of the year the two vessels win
also be relegated to the mooring grounds
in Oakland creek, sad reminder Of
the former glorious days when sailing
vessels were the chief means OF freight
communication between the Coast and
Island portB.
The bark Andrew Welch, commanded
by Captain Kelly, one of the best
known mariners who have run into Ho.
nolulu for years and years. has been
laid up in Oakland creek, and the crack
little bark Annie johnson, which re.
Gently made the run from Honolulu to
San Francisco in the quick time of
fourteen days, has also been sent to
the mooring grounds.
The bark Il. p. Rithet, commanded
by Captain Drew, which is now in port,
and the schooner w. II. Marston, which
generally runs to Hilo, may be the two
vessels retained in service, but accord
ing to rumors among shipping men,
they too, will have to give way to the
great cargo steamers which ply so fire.
quently between San Francisco and
various Island ports.
The reason for this laying off of sail
ing vessels is that they cut in on the
cargoes which the local agents need for
their steamers. The steamers are the
greater. expense. They have to main
tain regular schedules, both for passen-
gers and delivery of freights, and il
the sailing vessels are in the way, they
have to go. The Andrew WEIGH, An
ME johnson, r. P. Rithet and w. II,
Marston are vessels taken over from
the Planters line by the Matson COM
pany, but they have been confined, how.
ever, to Brewer Co. The local Mat.
son agents have their hands full look
ing after the steamers of the Matson
| fleet. comprising the Wi1helmina with
q capacity of 1000 tons of freight; the
Lurline, with 5000 tons capacity; the
Hilonian, with 1000; the Hyades, with
$500 tons, and the Nevadan which car
ries a big lot of freight. The local
agents are kept hustling to corral
cargoes for no sooner is one ship filed
and dispatched than another puts into
port, and their holds are very big and
roomy and yawn for cargoes
For some time the sailing vessels
have had precarious existence. They
have brought only average-sized cargoes
and taken away very little sugar, and
in some instances have returned in bal
last to San Francisco, which is rather
unusual. The Annie johnson waited
here few weeks over time to get a
cargo.
Ten years ago big feet of sailers
piled between the Islands and the
Coast. Gradually the big steam freigh
ters of the American Hawaiian line
and the smaller vessels of the Matson
line, and the new boats of the Oceanic
company, crowded them out Of theiI
legitimate business. The only vessels
doing business as of old are the vessels
bringing lumber cargoes from the
Sound, but they all return to the Sound
in ballast.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms-pain
in the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you win have no trouble with
your kidneys.
James @. L. Armstrong, Nuuanu
Valley, Honolulu, Hawaii, says: "I
was sufferer from kidney trouble for
three years and Doan 3 Backache Kid
ney Pills completely cured me. / have
had no return Of the complaint during
the past year. can not recommend
this remedy too highly"
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and storekeepers
at so cents per box (six boxes $2.50)
or win be mated on receipt of price by
the HOLSTER Drug Co., Honolulu, whole
sale agents for the Hawaiian Islands.

HOUSE JUMPS ON
JAPANESE OWNER
Alteration Between Man and
Building Ends Sadly-FOr
the Man.

Robert Clark knows more about houses
now than he did last Saturday. Not.
withstanding his name, he is Japa.
nese who conducts bicycle store in
the downtown district, which informa.
ton is only by way of preface and
has nothing to do with the calamity
that befell him Saturday afternoon.
This calamity struck him in the form
of a house, which fell on him,
After his house fell on him, his neigh.
bors ran for shovels to gather up the
remains (of himself, not the house)
but he is alive today without mark
and the only thing that worries him is
the question Of raising the house again.
He is the owner of small but sub.
stantial building that formerly occu.
pied a small plot of land in Kama lane,
Palama, and which he desired and still
desires to move to another location
nearer town. The commencement of
the buildings journey was undertaken
under suspicious circumstances and it
swung gracefully into the street at the
laborious behest of several men and a
stout windlass.
Clark having an eye for symmetry
and beauty, suddenly perceived that
the house was out of plumb and that
one end was lower than the other three,
promising dire results to its backbone
unless it were hastily readjusted.
So he secured a jack and crawled
under that end, whereupon a gust of
wind came along and blew the house
eight feet, dropping it CONTEMPORARY
on its owner.
The neighbors screamed and tele.
phoned for the police, who quickly APP
peared on the scene. By that time,
with characteristic Japanese prompt.
ness, they had gathered around the
house that had fallen from its high es.
tate and made careful surveys of the
spot where they had the best reason to
believe Robert Clark was at that mo.
ment in the process of decomposition.
The building, while not in the least
injured by it's fall, rested easily and
unconcernedly on the roadway, quite
fat. There was crack of perhaps q
half inch between the floor of the house
and the road and portion of this half
inch crack the unfortunate Robert
Clark was then occupying.
On the advice of the police the neigh
bors went for shovels and a sack and
prepared to recover the damage. They
dug hole under the house at the spot
they had selected and their engineering
capabilities was attested to by the fact
that they did not miss the victim by q
half.inch.
When the hole was sufficiently en-
larged Robert Clark emerged and there
WAS sudden exodus of very scared
Japanese from the district. 1t was moi
until police assurance was given as tc
the solidity of the apparition that they
dared return.
The man had been caught between
the underpinning and had not received
scratch. Police officers measured of
the distance between the house and the
supports where it formerly rested be
fore it was blown down and found that
the gust Of wind had carried it just
eight feet.

Aeronaut Broke Worlds Record
for Height Showing His
Great Nerve,
THE ENGINES STOPPED WORK
Gasoline Exhausted and Flying
Was the Real Thing on the
Way Down.

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey, July
l0.--In flight that broke the worlds
record for altitude and which included
one of the most remarkable gliding
feats in the whole history Of aviation,
Walter Brookins sprang into national
prominence yesterday. His feat was
one Of supreme nerve, combined with
intrepid daring and heretofore match
less skill.
Flying in a Wright biplane, in an ox-
hibition fight, Brookins suddenly de-
cided to force his machine as high as
possible, Circling, he sped upwards,
his sudden change in direction attract
ing the attention of the great crowd Of
people along the Boardwalk. Upwards
and upwards he scared, until the ma
chino became a mere speck against the
sky and at times was lost to view.
Then he reappeared, gliding in wide
circles and rapidly descending, When
he came closer to the earth it was seen
that his engine had stopped and that
he was depending entirely on gliding
to reach the ground in safety. When
he finally landed, coming down without
damage to himself or his machine, he
was surrounded by an admiring throng,
which became an enthusiastic one when
his aerometer was examined and it was
found that he had flown to a height of
six thousand, one hundred and seventy.
five feet, beating the worlds record
and winning for him prize Of $4,000.
Brookins states that almost at the
time that he shifted his planes to de-
scend his supply of gasoline gave out
and his engines stopped, making it nee
essary for him to glide for five thou
sand feet.
Another Record.
