COOL, CRISP WEATHER.

A lot of people pick the weekend as
the time for going out of town be-
cause it gives them a chance for
long sleep in the morning and a good
rest. On the other hand, those who
like mild athletic pastime go to Haiei-
wa for the pleasure the links and the.
tennis courts and the bathing affords.
On Thanksgiving Day there was the
better than usual rush by persons who,
did not want the bother of preparing
dinner at home and some of the party
remained to enjoy themselves to the
full. But there is no set time for
pleasure at Haleiwa. There is always;
something doing and it is done well!
This applies to the meals and service.
as well as to other things. Trains ON
the o, R. and L. Co. will carry you to
the edge Of the lawn.

MANsARD's RAscALLY SON.

The great hall of the Hotel de
Vile, of Aries, designed by Mansard,
is the wonder and admiration of
every one who has seen it on account
of the groined roof.
In regard to this a neighboring
GAZETTEER tells somewhat grim story.
King Louis XIV happened to be pass
ing through the city just at the time
Mansard was experimenting the COM
pletion of his creation. The roof was
supported by a powerful pillar. The
monarch admired the work and CON
graduated the architect on his design.
At that moment the architect was
passing through great domestic tribu-
lation. He had a son under sentence
of death, so he thought it would be-a
good opportunity to intercede on be-
half of the lad, says the London
Globe.
Mansard threw himself at the feet
of the King and said: Your Majesty
sees in the centre that massive col
umn? If you will spare the life of
my son | will remove the unsightly
pillar and the roof shall stand with
out support"
"Mansard," replied the King IF you
accomplish that miracle / will pardon
your son, but if you fail l will hang
you with him.
The architect removed the pillar
without great difficulty and with the.
result desired. The GAZETTEER is a phil
osopher and he concludes his story
with the reflection that had not Man
sard's son been scamp the hall at
Aries would be just like any other
hall

WATCHES ARE HARD WORKERS.

Have you ever stopped to consider
how much work a watch does each
twenty-four hours?" asked State
street jeweler. His query was drawn
out by comments made by his COM
panion, standing against the counter
watching the endless throng passing
the door, upon the seemingly inter
minable workday of the human race,
says the Chicago Daily News.
No? Well, 1t is surprising the
number of movements a watch makes
each day" he continued. IF any
human being attempted the same
number of motions he would expire
from exhaustion long before the first
twenty-four hours could pass. Yet the
watch keeps it going year in and year
out without whimper, and frequently
without being given its proper food, n
drop of oil here and there.
Compared to other machinery, that
of a watch does the most work and
requires the least attention. Reason
for it is hardly eXplainable, for there
is the same amount of wear and tear,
"a similar abrasion, in proportion to
the size of the movement machinery,
that there is in the motor of an au-
tomobile
But to return to the amount of
work a watch does in a day. In the
first place, and largest in the scope of
work performed, the tiny roller jewel
makes a total of $4,000 impacts
against the fork each twenty-four
hours. That surely is some going. Try
making semi-circular movements with
your hand and see the amount of en-
ergy you will expend in five minutes,
moving your arm as rapidly as does
the roller jewel.
Then there's the second hand.
That makes total of $4,000 strokes
in each twenty-four hours. Yet the
power back of all these motions or
impulses is derived from tiny spring
that can be snapped with a flick of
the finger. l dare say that no ele-
ment of power human ingenuity has
devised performs so much faithful
work or so great a quantity of effort
as that tiny spring and the delicate
pieces of machinery it propels."

ably be complaining that they have a
lot more big cities to learn about than
their elder, brothers of today. For
just as Chicago jumped in few
years from a small and ugly town to
be one of the worlds biggest cities,
so there are many mighty cities Of
the near future that are now only in
their babyhood.
Today you may not even have heard
their names. Take for instance, Ho-
nolulu, small port on dot of an
island in the heart of the Pacific.
The opening of the Panama Canal
now due in two years-will make Ho-
nolulu rank with Liverpool and Ham
burg. 1t will be the hub of the Pa
cific, a halfway house to everywhere,
and the Pacific, all geographers are
agreed, is going to become buster and
buster at the expense Of the Atlantic.
The criss-cross of steamer routes
from New York and Europe to Japan,
from Vancouver to Australia, from
San Francisco to the Orient will all
help to boom Honolulu its population
will jump to hundreds of thousands,
and its steamer traffic rank with Liv-
erpool.
China from the Orient.
The p. NJ. S. China arrived late
yesterday afternoon from the Far
East with a fairly large number Of
through passengers and fifteen for
here. The China received a big ad IL
ton to her passenger list owing to
the military authorities canceling the
departure of the Sheridan from Ma
Mia for San Francisco. Orders were
received that the vessel was to be
held for transporting soldiers to
China from Manila, if necessary, and
this meant that those who had taken
up their berths had to leave and pro-
coed some other way. The China was
leaving Hongkong almost Immediately
and quick connections had TO be made
to catch her.

ALLEGED DEATH
PRAYER IN COURT

Mrs. NJ. Scott appeared in the dis
trict court this morning to answer to
a charge preferred by Mrs. Pavao of
having threatened to pray the latter
to death.
Defendant is a well-known Hawaiian
lady, prominent i'm building society
circles and a dealer in real estate.
The two women reside in the Ke-
walo district and are neighbors. Mrs.
SCOTS husband is Captain Scott Of
thesteamer Mokolii.
1t appears that Mrs. Scott some time
ago sold Mrs Pavao a piece Of land
and has since regretted selling it so
cheaply. To get square with the pur-
chaser, Mrs. Scott is alleged to have
threatened to pray her to death be-
fore Christmas and to pray all her
children to death after her.
Mrs. Pavao, viii is terribly scared
over the threat, has retained Attor-
pey Straus to assist the prosecution.
Have you an attorney" asked
Monsarrat of Mrs. Scott.
Il can defend myself" replied the
defendant.
The case is booked as the cause
celebre of tomorrows police court ses-
sion.

Continued from page nine.)

and San Francisco, and a new British
line was established between Europe
and Pacific Coast ports by way of Ho-
nolulu; the Japanese and Canadian
Australian through lines to San Fran
cisco and Vancouver, respectively, are
gradually replacing their smaller
steamers by larger ones. The passen-
ger traffic between Honolulu and San
Francisco, however, keeps pace with
the increasing passenger facilities, and
therefore the Iong-felt need of suspend
ing the coastwise navigation laws as
to passengers between Honolulu Snl
the mainland is practically as great s
ever. This is desired, not as special
privilege, but as a relief from special
burden, inasmuch as there is no alter
nate possibility of travelling by rail; it
is desired also as a matter of national
Importance for the peopling of this
Territory with Americans. In the case
of freight there is not the same neces.
sity for that involves merely a ques-
ton of cost, but in the case of passen-
gers, as in the case of mail, it is a
question of speed and frequency.
One of the greatest needs is that of
suitable harbor for deep-water yes
sells on each of the larger islands, and
two on the largest island, one on each
side, to serve as terminals for rail
ways. Work has been instituted and
is rapidly progressing under the fed
eral government for meeting this need
at the harbors of Honolulu, Hilo and
Kahului, on the islands of Oahu, Ha-
waii and Maui, respectively, and in
making the necessary investigation to
determine the best harbor for i'm
provement on the island of Kauai; and
the Territorial government is con-
structing the necessary wharves as
rapidly as practicable. The last legis-
lature made appropriations, mostly out
of loan funds to be expended during a
period of several years, to the amount
of 1921 800 for wharves, chiefly at HO-
nolulu, Kahului Hilo, Mahukona and
Kealakekua, these being among the
principal shipping points and railroad
terminals or proposed terminals.
The construction of railroads is pro-
crossing, and one or two new railroads
are contemplated. Appropriations to
the extent of $1,27O,00O have been
made out of loan funds to be expended
during the next few years for the more
rapid completion of the principal
wagon roads around the larger islands
Additional ocean steamers have been
equipped with wireless apparatus, and
now most of such steamers are SO
equipped
Vessels.
Transportation facilities by sea NAV
be classed as follows: % Inter-Island
traffic, (2) traffic between the Terri
tory and the mainland and Mexico, and
co trans-Pacifc traffic, making Hawaii
a point of call.
mter-lsland Trafic-This is conduct
ed almost entirely by the Inter Island
Steam Navigation Company with Six
teen steamers, which visit regularly
nearly all ports in the Territory. Dur
ing the year they carried 64,1OS pas
and approximately 409,714 tons
of freight, an increase Of 1872 passen-
gers and a decrease of 42S9 tons Of

ing year.

Mauna Loa's Farewell Appearance.
The Mauna Loa came in this morn
ing and concluded a long and honor
able career on the Kona-Kau- Homo
lulu run What will be done to the
Mauna Loa has not yet been decided.
All that is known now is that she
has finished with the Kona-Kau run,
and that the Kilauea will take her
place on Tuesday next. The Maua
Loa now has a speed of about ten
knots. Her successor has a normal
speed of about fourteen.
Captain Simerson, it has been
finally decided will take the Kilauea.
He has proved a popular commander
on the Mauna Loa. He took the
Mauna Loa over when she took up
her running fifteen years ago, and Las
been on the bridge ever since. He
has won for himself the distinction Of
being one of the most popular skip
pers sailing out of Honolulu. The
Mauna Loa, it is understood, will he
thoroughly overhauled before she is
assigned any fresh duties.
The Mauna Loa this morning
brought one donkey, three horses, two
dogs, five boxes of pigs, eight crates
of turkeys, seven boxes of ginger,
nineteen bags of fish nineteen barrels
of fish, twenty-four boxes of chickens,
twenty-nine head of cattle, thirty-two
barrels of tobacco, thirty-fve barrels
of fruits, fifty-two pigs, fifty-nine

The company has ordered another
steamer, the Kilauea, which is OK
pected to be in service by the close

class accommodations for 100 passcn-
gers and a lightweight capacity FOR
1000 tons of freight.
Traffic Between Hawaii the Main
land, and MeXico-The American
Hawaiian Steamship Company, with
headquarters in New York, handles
nearly all of the freight traffic be
tween the Territory and the Atlantic
coast by way of the Tehuantepec Ma
tional Railway through Mexico. Only
one steamer was dispatched during
the year by the Strait of Magellan
This line connects at the terminals
Of that railway with eight other
steamship lines on the Atlantic side
and five on the Pacific side, thus af-
fording excellent facilities for traffic
between the Territory and European
and South American ports. The com
pany has two services: (a) A trian-
gular -welye-day service between Ha-
wall, Salina Cruz, San Francisco and
Puget Sound, with six. steamers OF
1850 tons lightweight capacity each
Nine smaller steamers operate on the
Atlantic side in connection with these
These steamers carry about 100000
tons of sugar year besides other
products to Philadelphia and New
York and large quantities of mar-
chandise in return. (b) A Pacific
coast tri-weekly service with from
three to four steamers between Salina
Cruz and Pacific coast ports as FAR
north at Seattle and Tacoma, making
connections with the triangular serv-
ice above described.
The Matson Navigation Company
handles the greater part of the traffic
between the Territory and the Pacific
coast. 1t operates six steamers of
from $500 to 1000 tons each on vari-
Gus routes between the island ports
and Pacific coast ports and on SEIZED
ules of from twenty-five to forty-two
days. Four of these have passenger
accommodations, although three of
them only to a limited extent, and
nearly all are equipped for handling
fresh fruit and ice house goods. One
of these is a new steamer, added dur
ing the last year, and is owned by
the American Hawaiian Company,
above referred to, although operated
by the Matson Company.
The Oceanic Steamship Company
operates one passenger and freight
steamer between Honolulu and San
Francisco on a three-week schedule.
The Union Steamship Company op-
crates nine tank steamers and barges
between California and Hawaii for
the transportation of crude oil.
The Associated Oil Company oper-
ates two steamers, two sailing vessels
and one barge in the crude oil traffic.
A few American sailing vessels con-
tinue to carry sugar around Cape
Horn.
Through Service.
Besides the United States army
transports, which call regularly at
Honolulu on their voyages between
San Francisco and the Philippines,
there are three regular through
steamship lines.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany is the only through line engaged
in the passenger and freight traffic
between Hawaii and San Francisco.
It operates five steamers, one of
