miral Switzerland, and interchanging

panied by his stan.

Real Estate Active.

In the real estate market the activ-
ity continues at good figures. The
kaimuki Land Company, which spec
ializes In featuring particular sec
tion of the city, has year of con-
tinued progress to its credit, and there
are probably more new homes now In
process of erection. and more new
homes erected during the year ut Kai-
muki and Palolo Hill than any other
section of the city.
Manager Stanton of this company
In a recent talk with the Blu letin
man expressed the opinion that the
coming year will see not only con-
tinuation of the home building, but
new departure In the construction of
apartment houses adapted to our sub
tropical climate. The progress of con-
struction Is shown by the record of
the CITY building inspectors office,
from which were issued during the
last six months 534 building permits
for structures valued at a total of
S134,517.1O. This covers buildings of
every character. Every contractor
and builder is busy; every plumber Is
busy. The trades were never more
active. There are two excellent rea-
sons for this. The population is in
creasing as result of the Federal
work in and around this city and also
through the influx Of tourists; and
money Is easy on account of the ex-
ceptional income from the sugar and
pineapple crops, Added to this Is the
confidence in the future growth of the
town following the opening of the
Panama canal. People are beginning
to realize the reality of the canal and
get ready for it. Honolulu real estate
cannot fail to be first class invest
ment.

Of YEAR
SHOWS TRADE
REMARKABLE

The close of business on December
30, 1911, found Hawaii with the larg-
est cash balance and the most favor
able trade conditions of its history
In every field of business endeavor
the year has been most successful
one. One best evidence Of this is the
bank and trust company statements
that are published in this issue. The
statement of Bishop & Co., the largest
and the Oldest banking institution of
the islands is indicative of the stead
lily increasing deposits both in guam
tity of coin and the number of indi-
vidual dcpositors.

to possess those youngsters trust and

GunpoWdcr,

The explosive nature of gunpowder,
which Is made of charcoal, sulphur and
saltpeter, Is due to the fact that when
fired the charcoal and sulphur are
burned at the expense Of the oxygen
in the saltpeter, much heat is devel-
oped and large quantities of gas are
produced. This gas exerts great pres
sure on the sides of the gun; hence its
disruptive or propulsive effects. When
gunpowder is fired in n gun the explo-
sion is not instantaneous. The eXpan-
sive force Of the gases produced acts
on the shot all the time 1t is moving
along the barrel and gradually In
creases its velocity. If the explosion
were so sudden as to be practically in.
stantaneous the greater part of the
forces would be exerted mainly on the
sides of the chamber containing the
powder and not, as is actually the
case, on the shot

The Hotel Hoodos Room.

"We used to have room in the old
Fifth Avenue hotel that was known as
the suicide room," said former clerk.
"Of course the name was an office Sc
cret, but whenever one Of us rented
that room to stranger we never felt
quite comfortable about him until aft
er he had left the hotel. Now that
the old hotel Is gone there can be no
harm in mentioning that the number
of the room was $50. l don't see how
even the most superstitlous person
could get hoodoo out of that number,
and nobody ever refused to take. it so
far rs I know, but 1t is n fact that of
the twenty-five suicides that took place
in tho Fifth Avenue hotel during fifty
years, seventeen occurred in room 500.
The last that took place was that OF a
young woman. who drowned herself
In a bathtub. You will find that In
any big hotel that has been running
for any length of time there is n room
chat has hoodoo of some kind on it."

musical notes TO the benedlction of the

other the grace after meat. These
knives usually went in sets of four,
representing four part harmony OF
bass, tenor, alto and treble. They
were kept in an upright case Of stamp
ed leather and were placed before the
singers according to the adaptation OF
each one to his particular part. As
may DO supposed, the Inscription was
