For Honolulu Harbor.

For Honolulu harbor.
Commissioner Wakefield presented.
at the weekly meeting of the Harbor
Commission. one Of the most compye-
hensive schemes of harbor improve
ment for Honolulu that has yet been
attempted. Briefly, he plans to save
money by using the funds proposed
to be used for dredging additional
slips west Of the Alakea Dock for the
construction OF bulkhead wharves run
ming from the Alakea Dock to the
Oceanic. The advantage Of this Is
that II provides ample wharf space
for handling the cargoes Of large ships
and giving quick dispatch. In addi-
ton to this the scheme includes the
eventual opening up OF the whole
water front. through the Allen 4 Rob
inson lumber yard, and running a rail-
way track, under Government control,
along the front, so that the public
whnrves Will have a service, In so far
as prompt transportation Is concerned
equaling that Of any private wharves
Finally It Is planned to run oil supply
pipes along the whole front, so there
will be no necessity for 'haulnig ship
to secure oil supply or to gain more
direct connection with the railway
system for trenshipment to other
parts Of the island. The plan Is a
very elaborate one and will be fully
discussed by business men and bust.
ness organizations before II may be
regarded as finally settled upon. One
Of the best features IL that the money
IL available to carry out the main pre-
liminary factors. namely. the construc.
ton OF the bulkhead wharves. The
other parts OF II can he developed
more gradually.

It is agreed among anthropoiOgists that taking aim'' is a human charac- rerstic that even the anthropoid apes cannot be said to share. Apes and monkeys frequently throw nuts and sticks. sometimes with unpleasant con- sequences to others. but they show lit- tie or no ability to take accurate aim. The baboon is said tO excel somewhat in this respect, but still it would never pass for a marksman. Accuracy of eye and the judgment o: direction and
 distance that are involved in real ain- ing have been developed only by man and are among the tokens of his intel lectuaI superiority.-New York Press.

ANNIVERSARY or ETPST TITLE TOUT BETWEEN A
 WHITE MAN AND A NEGRO

One hundred and two years ago. on Dec. 8. 1910, Eng and was the scene of
 the first championship b'attle ever
 staged between a white man and a
 negro. Thomas Molineaux, Virgin ian, was the representative of the Af-
 rican race, and his opponent was Tom Critib, then heavyweight cham pion of England. The black man had
 arrived in England in 1909 and had proved his prowess in several battles dom. He had a wonderful 'ieyelop-

In the twenty y-eighth Crihb was knocked down and apparently out, and the h7ckers of the negro hailed him as the champion of the world.
