Mr.. WARHAM' s NEW
!. MANHATTAN CAFE
BIG, ELEGANT RESTAURANT TO
TAKE PLACE OF FORT STREET
RESORT.

r. William Warham, otherwise Bill
lie Warm" will in few days open the
new Manhattan Cafe on Hotel street
just two doors Eva of Fort, makai
side. 1t may be explained that the
Manhattan must vacate the premises
on Fort street above Hotel, for the
reason that the low buildings now
there are to be torn down to make way
for a modern business block. Mr..
Warham considers himself most for
tunate in securing large quarters so
near the old stand for the benefit of
his customers and friends.
The Manhattan Cafe was establish
ed good many years ago under an
other name by owl Daily, and was a
success almost from the jump. Mr..
Warham reconstructed and practically
recreated it, however; and his friends
say that he made a little mint in it.
But be that as it may, Mr.. Variants
Manhattan Cafe has of late years be-
come a city institution-One of the
standbys in the restaurant line.
And now it is to be moved. Mr..
Warham announces the removal as
September /, but as a matter of fact
the doors of the big, new place will
be thrown open next week. big place"
is used in this connection for the area-
son that no other words will describe
the new Manhattan. It's horseshoe
short-order counter is the longest ever
seen in this city, and will accOmmo-
date more men than the entire Man
haitian Cafe of today. In the center
of the U is the coffee stand, and the
places for the filling of light orders,
In the rear, to be seen through
wide-open doorway, is the kitchen with
it's big range, other cooking appliances
great ice chest and other things, as
neat and as clean as a parlor need
be.
Tall stools circle the lunch counter,
and at either side will be placed tables
for dinner parties, ladies or diners
who may prefer a table.
At the Waikiki side of the entrance
will be the managers office, where.
presumably, Mr.. Warham will receive
his friends, count up the profits and
transact other business that may re-
quire his attention. On the opposite
or Eva side, of the entrance will be
department for cigars and smokers
supplies and at this counter will be
found the allimportant parsonage fam
ilarly known as the cashier. There
the little tags received at the tables
or lunch counter will be turned in and
paid
Mr.. Warham is having the place
painted in oily, bright, but appropriate
colors and when thrown open to the
public the cafe will fairly shine in it's
array of architectural and artistic fin
ish. Screen doors will shield the in
terror from the gaze of the street.
Mr. Warham particularly states that
while the Manhattan becomes a big
ger and better place, his rates will not
be advanced at all. He wishes to
make 1t the favorite cafe of gentlemen
| young and old,-and ladies as well.

AN ODD EXPERIMENT.

Il Explains How Cyclones Drive Straws
Through Tree Trunks.
II a needle is showed into a cork un-
til just the tip end shows on the oppo-
site side and the needle is then broken
OF so that the upper end is flush with
or hidden under the top surface on the
cork an interesting thing may be
shown. known as the increase Of pres
sures. If this cork be now placed
needle point down on a copper cent or
other small coin light blow on top Of
the cork with hammer will drive the
needle through the copper. The expla-
nation Is as follows:
Everything has it's limits Of resist.
ance, and we may define this in terms
to the square inch that will overcome
It. Take q ten pound weight and place
it on a surface Of two square inches;
the pressure is evidently Ave pounds
to the square inch. Now take away
one Of the square inches, and there is
just as evidently a pressure Of ten
pounds to the square inch. Decrease
this surface to the dimensions Of a
needle point and put a Eve pound
blow ON the needle head. The pres
sure to the square inch at the point is
tremendous. So, Of course, it can be
forced through almost anything, pro-
vided the needle is kept from break
ing. For this purpose the cork is sup
piled, which keeps the needle from
starting to bend, having for this pur-
pose what might be called an infinite
ly inclined plane or straight line.
This phenomenon explains several
things of frequent occurrence. Cy-
clones sometimes drive straws through
trees three and four feet thick. The
compressed air round the straw keeps
It from bending, and the enormous
force driving It forces it through.
OF course in the case Of the needle
and, in fact, any pointed instrument
gradually getting larger from the point
the advantage of the inclined plane IL
made use of in continuing the motion
As it takes much less force to roll q
barrel up An inclined plank into door
than to lift 1t directly from the ground
to the door, 50 we can separate two
things or two parts of the same thing
easier with a pointed instrument
(Which is the same thing as round
wedge) than with an instrument Of the
same size all the way.-St. Louis Re

Rajah suran. who was one Of the
entire east with the exception Of Chi
ma, killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh-
tiers. 1t 70 said that when the Chinese
heard Of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called q council OF his
generals and mandarins. and upon the
advice Of a crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails. trees were planted on the deck.
the vessel was manned by a numerous
crew Of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital. When 1t arrived-the
most wonderful part Of the story Is
that 1t did arrive-the rajah sent an
oflcer to ask how long it had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China.
The China men answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In corroboration Of
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which. they said, had been stout
iron bars as thick as mans arm when
they started. You can see," they
