Don't Waste Nervous Strength and

The immediate cause Of neuralgia Is
poison in the blood; therefore our
object is to keep the blood pure and
healthy. as it is only when the blood
is poor that the neuralgia poisons de-
velop in it. Poor blood is caused by
lack Of sleep. lack of fresh air. i'm
proper food and overfatigue. BY too
little exercise and by mental worry.
Nothing is easier to say than Don't
worry" and few things so difficult to
carry out. But by Don't worry the
doctors mean do not waste valuable
nervous strength and energy in fret
ting over things beyond your control.
Make a point Of putting all anxiety
from you during meals and above all
when you go to bed. Train yourself to
think of something cheerful as you try
to 50 to sleep: otherwise your sleep
will be harassed and fitful and will do
you very little good.

HYSL0P CLAIMS He
TALKS TO SPIRIT
Of the Late Prof. William
James, the Psychologist
of Harvard.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19-With the
positive statement that he has held
several conversations with the spir
it of the late Professor William
James. the psychologist OF Harvard
James B. Hyslop, secretary of the Am
erican Association for Physical re
search. has returned from Boston tC
New York with important material
collected in a series of recent expert
ments.
II can say nothing more now" Pro
fessor Hyslop said. except that ! have
talked with the spirit Of Professor
James.
II have talked with 1t several times
in the last year. What the spirit said
am not ready to divulge. They have
been trying over in England since
Professor James died. to get in touch
with his spirit. but from what l have
heard. however, had no success"
Professor Hyslop declared he IL
quite positive as to his facts, and will
make his proofs public within short
time.
1T would require Volumes" said
Professor Hyslop. TO detail just how
! communicated with the dead and to
prove that did so; yet the fact re
mains that l have now proved that
the souls of men and women-of lit
tie children, in fact-who have gone
before are capable of communicating
to us as they please. In greater OF
thnu ~~\ Y
ing US know their presence. This is
not spiritualism but spiritism."
Asked in q general way how he
would proceed to establish the iden
tity OF communicating soul, PROBES.
sor Hyslop said:
1T is accomplished in a way SINH

ample. ! might 60 to London and wire
q friend year later that l wanted to
borrow $50, but the friend might say
! was dead and I would have to estab.

this by telling him what we had done

Souls or spirits of the departed
take a similar course. They may turn

billions of of souls freed from their
earthly castings. Not all of them are

laughable to those who can not or will

me to prove conclusively that the soul

soul has material weight, however, as
some say, has no claim in reason"

Inter-Island Brevities

HILO, February A3.-The highest
trestle in the islands, located on Ha-
kalau plantation, was completely
destroyed last week by the wind and
the floods of water brought down
as the result of the long and severe
storm. 1t was located at Nanue Gulch
and was two hundred and twenty-five
feet in height and about fifteen
hundred feet long, being used
for f1uming purposes. Manager Ross
states that the water in the
sUlches was higher than he has ever
seen it and that it is surprising that
there was not more damage done.
The railroad company got off rather
easily, when the extent and character
of the work being done on the big fills
is considered At Kahakina Gulch,
which is located just beyond Honomu
and on the Hamakua side of KolekOle
Gulch, part of the fill was washed
away but in almost every case where
fills were being made, the diverting
tunnels proved that the engineers who
designed them had done good work,
as their capacity was ample for the
torrents which rushed down.
Harlakua suffered far more than
any other district and when the sun
began to shine on Saturday there was
great sigh of relief throughout that
section of the island. Bridge after
bridge had been washed out and not
bit of mail got through for the
Mauna Kea last Wednesday. There
were no accidents to persons, however
and the only animal known to have
been drowned was mule, which was
swept away, while its rider was trying
to ford a gulch at Kukaiau.
A bridge in Honokaa, opposite the
residence of Manager Pritchard of
the telephone company was washed
out, as we'll as one at Kukaiau and
one at Kukuhaele, while numerous
culverts suffered and the roads were
badly torn throughout East Hawaii
and Kohala.

which interfere with the ingress to
what has become, since the break

What is known as Kuhio bay, to the
east of Cocoanut Island, in the great

considered too rough and disturbed for
the accommodation of vessels; but
since the breakwater has been put
under way and has been pushed to

The deceased had no relatives in
this country, his only relative being
married daughter living in Honolulu,
in the Hawaiian Islands, and who is
the wife of prominent physician and
surgeon of that place. No one, It
seems, knows the name of his daugh-
ter, and although a careful search
among the papers and effects of Mr..
Smith, which had been left with
Squire Thomas here by that gentle
man when he left Redwood some
days ago, nothing could be found
showing or giving any clue as to her
name.
Mr.. Smith had been in declining
health for some weeks, and he said
to the writer that he felt that he was
nearing the end, that he expected to
die suddenly and that before long,
and when he was asked for the name
and address of his daughter he re-
fused to divulge it.

we never knew him to be other than
