GREAT JANSEN

Seeking the solution for the
strange and the sensational, the peo-
pie of the world have at all times
turned to magic, at first as a belief,
attributfng supernatural powers to
the masters of the art. Their powers
have been and are supernatural only
to the extent that their minds have
passed beyond the common ability to
conceive and their ingenuity sur
passes that of their fellows who won
der at their works. From the Orient
to the Occident have come strange
tales of the illusions wrought by
faRirs, almost revered as a profess
sion and whose powers have been
described as more than human. In
the Eastern world have arisen many
magfcians, and iIlusionists, each add

up with a sword in his hand. Such 6
heroic enterprise was Unprecedented
in the annals of Japan. and it would
infinitely elevate the spirit of the
Japanese people and influence them m
favorable direction. Lieutenant Shir.
ase's action was not an empty bonn
hastic example Of grandiloquence, but
it was the firing of the shell itself
This shot would awake the indolent
nation from its slumber and inspire
" with alertness and vigor. The pro
found faith of the lieutenant would
not fail to crown him with success
in the exploration. He (the speaker),
in common with the people assembled
would bid goodbye to the heroic lieu
tenant and his party, and hoped to
welcome the party at the head of
Shinegawa Bay on their triumphant
return.
Lieut.. Shlrase and Captain Nomura
master of the Koinan Maru), re-
spending to the farewell messages,
thanked the Japanese people for the
support given them, and assured them
that they would not fail to accomplish
their object.
A long, rakish-looking vessel light
grey in color, with three masts of
equal height, and squat, dark stump
of a funnel, briefly describes the
Japanese vessel. At the stern, where
projecting rack is fixed to the bull
wark, is bundle of very lightly-al-
most precariously-con sledg-
es. Forward of that is the wheel
house, sort Of wooden hood, which
shelters the steersman. Just in front
OF the wheel is the entrance to the
chart-room and officers quarters. The
hunks are crowded into a small space
in the crews quarters, forward, and
are reached by yawning abyss of a
stairway. They are arranged in tiers.
However, it looks comfortable enough,
and should, certainly be warm and
snug. Between the officers quarters
and those of the crew is the cooks
galley, quite a commodious pace, with
a bricked-up fireplace, and generously
equipped with cooking utensils.

cities of America, and have placed the
name Jansen at the head of the list
of entertainers throughout the Occi-
dent. His personal history has been
the> record of phenomenal success.
His acts have always borne the stamp
of originality. He has not copied.
+ Suggestions in the minds of the most
fanciful writer's have by Jansen been
demonstrated, until they appear as
facts. For the first time, by anyone,
/ will be presented by Jansen on this
world tour, acts that heretofore have
had no existence outside the imag-
ination Of story writer's. He cannot
afford to allow promise to fail He
stands at the head of his art and illu-
sionists, and he has helped to make
their success a possibility, conceiving
and producing the paraphernalia
which is all important to the skilful
manipulation. Jansen carries more
effects than were ever transported
for his presentations. Time may un.
fold new wonders of the human mind
and prove new triumphs of the hui
man hand, but until now, in the field
he has chosen to make his own, Jan
sen stands forth as the commanding
figure and supreme intellect. Jansen
is supported by an all-star American
company, among them De HALLS and
Valera, the famous jugglers; Miss
Daisy Thorne, operate soloist;

American company will be in Homo

DURING WARM WEATHER.

Honolulu is pleasant at all times
of the year, but during the summer
months Haleiwa offers greater at.
fractions to those who are inclined
to field sports as we'll as those who
demand quiet and rest. 1t is an ideal
spot and now is the time to get room
reservations for the summer vaca-

comfortable. He arranges little en-
tertainments for them and looks after
the cuisine and service as it was
never looked after before. For a long

Pole. Captain Amundsen reported
that the health of the expedition was
excellent. The Fran is proceeding
to Buenos Ayres and will return the
following season to embark Amund
sen.
The Terra Nova left for M'Murdo
Sound, and found message from the
Discovery hut depot Thee party
we're all well. The vessel proceeded
north and encountered a heavy south
erly gale off Cape Adare She was
blown over a hundred miles north,
and made land east of Smiths Inlet.
She followed the coast for a distance
of two miles, to Robertson's Bay.
Landing was impossible, owing to the
precipitous and heavily glaciated
coast.
The eastern party are winterlng at
Cape Adare. The ship proceeded to
explore to the east of Cape North
finding no pack south of Balleny
Island in GO degrees 40 minutes
south. She encountered strong winds
TIL February %, when mountainous
land was discovered in about latitude
SO degrees so minutes south and
longitude 1853 degrees % minutes
east. The ship was hampered by
cloudy and foggy weather, and was
forced away from the land by heavy
pack ice. She found the coast line
again in February 25, in latitude 90
degrees 20 minutes south and longi-
tude 159 degrees east. She was I'M
able to approach nearer than twelve
miles, and was caught in an excep-
tionally heavy pack. She was re-
leased the next day by the wind
shifting.
The ship followed the coast line
northwest for thirty miles, but was
unable to approach closer than ten
miles, owing to the pack. The whole
coast is hi1ly and rugged, with numer-
GUS glaciers. The higher land was
mostly obscured by low clouds the
whole time.
The ship was prevented from get
ting further west than 6S degrees 80
minutes south and 1853 degrees Is
minutes east, and was forced east
ward, skirting the pack, until in the
vicinity Of the Ballenies. She was
frequently stopped entirely by the
pack, and was once stationary for
three days. She cleared the pack on
March 8, in latitude Ga degrees 20
minutes south and longitude 161 de-
grees 80 minutes east.
Interesting soundings were taken,
and the biologist obtained some ex-
ccllent travis in 200 fathoms.
The health of all is excellent.

The performances that were detailed

particulars with regard to their in
mates, they completed their enumeraL
ton in a week, February 9th to 18th;
all schedules were checked by the
end of the following week, and the
results of the preliminary ennmera-
ton were available on March 6. I
personally inspected the work of 200.
enumerators and can testify to the,
careful and efficient manner in which
the large majority did their work.
Il think it will be found that the
number of rickshaw coolies and beg
gars enumerated at this census in Co.
lombo is very large! The enumeration
of these two classes presents consid-
cradle difficulties. The outdoor popu-
lation of Colombo at night is very con.
siderable, and special measures were
taken to enumerate the coal, wharf
and boat coolies sleeping on the fore
shore, the numerous rickshaw stands
and the wanderers who make the
Racquet Court, Price Park and other
open spaces their resting places for
the night. Many of the enumerators
were working until and 6 o'clock in
the morning, The attitude of the peo-
pie was excellent. Lights were dis
played in near'y every house, and per-
sons remained awake with the doors
of their houses open until the arrival
of the enumerator, often at a very Lite
hour Considerable interest was taken,
especially in the poorer quarters, in
seeing that every one was enumerated,
and many persons who were not in
their houses at the time the enumerat-
ors called came to inquire whether
their names had been included.
Considerable help was rendered by
the police in keeping the streets clear
and warning persons that they should
be at their houses when the enumer-
ator visited them. The Superintendent
of Police of Colombo, the inspectors
and other police officers visited all
parts of the town. The census of the
police forcein Colombo was also very
carefully taken.
81 desire also to acknowledge the
great assistance rendered by the many
labor forces. Steps were taken at the
principal mills and works to inform
the workmen that they should see that
they were enumerated that night, and
that they should stay in their houses
until the enumerator visited them. At
most works there was no night work
on the census night"
