PLANS
FOR THE START

Director Wall of the Floral Parade
yesterday spent some time looking
over the Capitol Grounds where the
Floral Parade will assemble on Wash
ingtons Birthday morning. Measure
ments were made of the width of the
gates leading into the grounds; and
as these are only a few inches over
thirteen feet, notice has been given
to all who are decorating floats to
keep within this width The overhead
of the trolley lines which carry from
seventeen to eighteen feet above the
street, will fix the heighth to which
any of the FLOATS can be built.
1t is planned TO give each section
of the Parade 9. special position in
the grounds for the assembly. Each
car will be previously supplied with
numbered cards to be hung on either
side of the entry, and it is by these
numbers that the attendants will be
able to place the cars in their proper
position without confusion. The EIks
Carnival committee will furnish free
cards choosing who the numbered
enterers are.
AS the Parade this year will doubt
less be a good deal larger than any
heretofore, it will be very important
for all who have entries to have them
III the grounds not later than nine
o'clock on the morning of the Parade.
AS the Parade moves promptly at
ten o'clock this will give none too
much time for the judges and photo
graphers.
1t is the intention this year to
keep the crowds off of the drive ways
of the Capitol Grounds entirely. This
is made necessary in order that the
judges may have an opportunity to
properly inspect the various entries.
Last year there was much complaint
on the part of the judges, that they
were unable to get a good view OF
the cars on account of the crowds
which assembled there almost con-
tinuously 1t is probable that ropes
| will be stretched to keep the sight
seers from encroaching upon the
I drive ways; and Director Wall states
| that ample police will be provided to
see that the lines are not encroached
upon.
Within a few days a reviewing stand
will be erected upon the gore adjoin-
ing the Hawaiian Electric Building;
on which the Judges, the Members Of
! the Legislature, and a few Of the
Territorial and Federal officials will
have seats reserved. Director Wall
received an acknowledgement OF his
invitation to Queen Liliuokalani AS
she is not strong, it is probable that
arrangements will be made for her to
occupy her automobile close to the
Reviewing Stand during the time the
Parade is in motion.

HILO RAILROAD
EXTENSION BUSY

A few days ago the writer had the
pleasure of a trip over the Hamakua
extension Of the lilo railroad, along
with the good fortune of meeting on
the train Superintendent Filler, who
gave some interesting information re-
garding the construction. Regular
trains are now running to Painaaloa
station, about FIVE n.i,es out Of Hilo
Although the ballasting is not quite
finished, the cars run very smoothly.
Everything in the right Of way is
constructed with an eye to durabili-
~. To secure an easy grade, and the
minimum Of curves at the outset, in
stead of waiting until the traffic
should become so great as to com.
pei expensive alterations to attain
those ends, the engineer has made
vast cuts and fills as we'll as great
bridges, some of the cuts being from
60 to 20 feet deep and fills as high
as 80 feet.
Traversing the Waikiki river at
Hilo is a bridge 700 feet long, set
upon concrete piers and abutments,
the middle part under which the riy-
er flows being 400 feet wide between
piers AS this width is twice that
of the river span of a highway bridge
above it, there is no fear that it is not
ample for taking care of any flood
that may ever occur.
Over Honolii gulch is bridge 81
feet high, on steel columns, and 81
feet in length. Beyond, toward Pal
haaloa is a bridge of similar construc-
ton, 73 feet high and 400 feet long,
There was an entire absence of vibra
ton from the train in crossing these
bridges.
There are no drains to the long and
deep cuts, but Mr.. Filler said the wat.
er never gave any trouble in the
heaviest rains. 1t simply disappears
in the porous soil as fast as it falls
There are some big fills to be com.
pleted before the road can be opened
to Hakalau, which is thirteen miles
out and the objective point of con-
struction at present.
1t was surprising to note the large
+ passenger traffic on the short bit OF
track open. There was a good car
! load of second class passengers going
out, besides several first class among
whom was Hon. S. NJ. Damon, who
was on visit to Olaa plantation ant

Private coleridas.

In his young days the poet Coieridge
had a little love affair which ended in
disaster, for the lady refused him. In
despair he enlisted in a cavalry regi-
ment which he hoped would be or
dered on foreign service. For family
reasons he dropped his correct name,
but from a feeling of sentiment re-
tanned the initials, SO Samuel Taylor
Coleridge became Private Silas Tomp-
kins Camberbatch. The regiment did
not leave the country, and it was not
long before his soul wearied of bar
rack life and it's utter absence Of ro-
nance. His military life ended in a
curious fashion. One day while Cole
ridge was doing a weary sentry go
two officers strolled past. One Of them
made use of a Greek quotation which
the other corrected. The first insisted
on his correctness, while the other
was just as positive he was wrong.
While they disputed the sentry sud-
denly presented arms and respectfully
informed them that they were both in
error. He gave the exact quotation,
name of the author and other circum-
stances. This incident led to an in
quiry. and the poet was restored to
the bosom of his family.-London

In a Japanese Temple.

"Asakuse temple is dedicated to the
goddess Kwannon, tiny image Of
gold, about two and one-half inches
high" writes traveller in Japan. "At
the entrance to the temple grounds on
either side of the immense gate stand
two large and fearful looking figures,
guarding the sacred precincts. Hang
ing outside the wire grating are a
number of sandals for their use if they
wish to take walk. and rice is
sprinkled about. Each worshiper, be-
fore entering the temple, calls at a
small building, and after contributing
small amount, washes his hands and
rinses his mouth. In front of the main
shrine is a large aperture in the floor,
covered with latticework, into which
the worshiper casts his gift. After
clapping his hands to awaken or at
tract the attention of the god, he
kneels, but his prayer is only brief.
While there is one chief shrine there
are many others under the same roof.
One shrine especially attracted my at
tention; it was made of wood, and
quite disfgurcd AID worn through the
constant rubbing of hands on the spot
corresponding to the afflicted portions

Tower of Hercules.

p.
Travellers may still see on the coast
of the English channel at Dover the
ruins Of Roman lighthouse that was
built at the time of the Roman con-
quest of Britain. Another ancient
lighthouse, built less than century
after the tower at Dover, is still serv-
ing it's original purpose. 1t was partly
rebuilt and some alterations were
made in it, but in the main it is the
same old structure that guided the
Roman galleys as they skirted the
coasts of the bay of Biscay, making
their way to the Roman port of Bri-
gantium. This is the modern harbor
of La Coruna, and the lighthouse is the
most ancient thing about it. The
Romans called it the tower of Her
cules, and the moderns have perpetu-
ated the name. The exact date of its
erection is not known. but inscrip-
tons and other evidence show that it
was built in the time of Trajan, be-
tween 9S and III A. D.-Exchange.

Within the walls of Buckingham pal
ace and constructed on the strong

the "secret library" and in this are

reign Queen Victoria assiduously
stored away in nice order all family
and other important papers, her only
assistant in this duty being secre-
tary, who entered her service within
fourteen years of her accession to the
throne and who retained his place IN
til her majesty's death, though he him
self had no access to nine-tenths of
the papers which are docketed, the
late queen alone retaining the keys of
the safes and cabinets in which her
secret library" was contained.
Just before her death her majesty
added to the list of her papers a batch
of letters of the most private and con-
fidential kind, addressed by the late
prince consort to his brother, the Duke
Ernest of Coburg, and it is well as
certained fact that when possible she
acquired every scrap written by her
late consort to his private friends. 1t
is said by those who are qualified to
surmise that the "secret library" not
only tells of royal marriages, births
and deaths. but that it is virtually the

Curious Plants. That Will Travel
Ac1oss a Desert.
1.-THE isolation of the desert lowlands
of Lower California. combined with
alterations of long continued droughts
and heavy rains. has resulted in the
development of the richest and most
extraordinary desert fora. in the
world" says e. W Nelson in the Ma
ltional Geographic Magazine.
"Cactuses of many kinds abound,
varying from giants standing with
massive futed trunks fifty to sixty
feet tall to little struggling stemmed
species too weak to hold themselves
upright. The fruit, of many of these
cactuses is edible and much sought for
by birds and mammals. They were
once one of the main crops of the In
dians who lived in this arid region.
The cactus forests often form thorny
jungles through which it is impossible
to pass.
After months among these thorny
plants we supposed we had seen them
in all their eccentric variations Of
forms. One morning. however, while
crossing the Llano de Yrais, in front
Of Magdalena bay, | rode out from a
dense growth of bushes into an open
area and pulled up my horse in amaze
ment at sight of the most extraordi-
binary of them all. Before me was a
great bed of the creeping devil cactus.
which appeared like swarm of gigan-
tic caterpillars creeping in all direc-

away from the common center of the
group, and saw many single sections
twenty or thirty yards away from the
others. The part of the stem resting
on the ground sends down rootlets.
and the older stems die in the rear at
about the same rate as they grow in
front, so they slowly move away from
the colony across the fats where they
live"

Unwilling to Pay the Price.

Let us not deceive ourselves.
Maryland is not a Republican
State Under normal conditions the
Democratic party commands the
strongest and probably the most en-
lightened following in Maryland,
But the votrs of Maryland are not
willing to pay the price which the
Democratic party demands. They
are not willing to endorse and sus-
tain a Democratic regime which is
founded, in Baltimore at least, on
corruption and rottenness.
Maryland doubtless wishes to be a
Democratic State, but if ii has to &C
cept the dictatorship of John Mahon
and Frank Kelly and Bob padgett
and others of their like in order to
remain Democratic, then this State
is absolutely unwilling to pay the
price. The handwriting on the wall
is very elear.-Baltimore News.
