 penguins that mistook them for vege- tation. There does not seem to be a square foot of the cliff that is not oc- cupied by the fowls. Stealthily the vessel steals up to the birds and when but few hundred yards away two cannons are discharged simultaneously. Then what a sight Is to be witnessed. The affrighted birds rise enmasse; the roar of their pinions Is deafening and their millions of bodies cut off the light of the sun. One feels as though he was resting under a mammoth moving canopy. But the fowls soon re- turn to their roosting place. the pen guins being the first to settle down again. This penguin is the drollest creature I ever saw. He stands straight up like a priest % a bottle His wings do not fit close to his body like those of other fowls, but hang tri1e for ward, so that they look like the arms of a garment and reminded me of boy who donned a mans shirt. Then when he walks 1t is impossible to take him seriously. His feet protrude straight out sideways like a splay footed crea ture and he waddles like a rocking chair No one who chanced to possess a pet penguin would ever suffer with the blues" or be subjected to melan- holia.
 At o'clock anchor Is dropped at the foot of the North Cape and all await the hour of the midnight sun
 PiOus Fraud Practiced
 During this interval a pious fraud Is practiced upon the passengers by the crew who are advised that excellent cod fishing Is to be had. The sailors spread long lines and naked hooks upon the deck and the passengers are invited to help themselves. No bait is used and superb specimens of the fnny tribe are hauled in by the score.
 One of my catch measured four feet In length, and 1t required the assistance of two sailors to land him deck. The sport is fine, but the fraud consists in the fact that the passengers are uncon- sciously supplying the ship with pro visions. A half dozen sailors are on deck dressing the catch and we had fish every day on the table during the remainder of the voyage
 An hour or so of such pastime suffees and one is occupied in contemplating the great rock that towers above him. It is generally impossible to curb patience till midnight approaches and the ascent of the Cape is begun immediately after the serving of dinner. The climb is steep, rough and arduous For many it would be impossible were 1t not for the as- slstance of ropes fastened in iron stanch- ions all along the route. The path is zigzag and laid out in sections, but with all this the descent is worse and more perilous than the climb After the mount is made a mile over stony ground must be traversed ere the pavilion is reached. Here champagne Is served and one at tends the phenomena of the midnight sun.

When he was born on a cold March morning in 1870 his mamma foretold that he would live by blood but die in peace. And at the age of 3, healthy Issa was found playing in the blood of an Albanian mur- dered by robbers and left on the road. Thus Monsieur Issa began.
 Issa's first political exploit was hls ven- geance on Russias consul, Stcherbina. That was nine years ago. Issa had been raising the devil in the hearts of the men -and of the maids-of Mitrovissa; and he was particularly incensed because the brown checked Albanian maid, Lihme. served in Stcherbina's house. Issa threat ened Mitrovitsa. There Schamil Pasha had 12 battalions, about 7o00 men. and Issa had i500 Nevertheless he threatened to attack the town. When Steherbina heard that Issa was talking big and threatening to abduct his servant, he re- quested Sehamil to turn his artillery or the hills where Issa sat.

Chapter of Casualties.
Lapala, an old Hawaiian woman of
Waihee, was found dead in the Wal
hee stream last Wednesday. 1t is
supposed that she wandered from
home, and that she slipped on the
edge of the bank
There have been three narrow es-
.capes of laborers this past week. A
Korean at work at Paia was run over
by a sugar train, and, although not
expected to live, was pulled through
by DR.. McConkey The same skillful
physician and surgeon saved the life
of "A Japanese who was loading sugar
in the Paia mill The fellow got too
ambitious in placing a bag and fell
twenty feet, badly smashing his head,
and death was feared, but his life
was saved by a very skillful opera
ton. A Russian at Maliko also took
a tumble with the result that he was
minus one ear. The mass of cuts
were superficial and he will be all
right except for that ear.

that were pretty thoroughly discussed

the fruit fly and the Kihei landing.
w r Pogue, chairman of the board
of supervisors, stated that that body
had already applied to the board OF
agriculture for the commissions OF
several police officers, who should be
stationed at the various Maui ports
TO watch the incoming baggage Of all
Messengers and destroy all fruit that
might be found.
The harbor commissions indiher-
ence to the hurrying on the matter OF
wharf at Kihei has led to the sus-
picion that it did not intend to pay
attention to the expressed wish OF
Maui people Hence resolution was
introduced by ]. N. S. Williams, which
PASSED unanimously, declaring 1t to
he the sense of the chamber that such
steamer wharf is an urgent necessity,
and that steps looking to its construc-
ton should be Immediately taken
Personal.
The many friends of D. ID. Baldwin
will be glad to know that the wire

past week state that his condition is
encouraging.

Letter From the Attorney General
Says He or a Representative
From His Office VIII be
In keokuk.
FIRST OF NEXT WEEK
Evidence by Citizens Showing Viola
tons Of Law Submitted to the
Office of States
Attorney.

Attorney D. F. Miller today re-
ceived,a letter from Attorney General
George Cosson stating that he or a
representative of his office would ar
rive in keokuk the first of next week
to investigate the violations of law
reported to be of common occurrence.
The attorney generals office has been
informed as to Keckuk conditions and
evidence has been prepared and sub
mitted to the attorney general.
A rumor was current on the street
yesterday that Attorney Cosson was
in keokuk which proved untrue. and
another rumor was put in circulation
that the attorney general or his office
would not take any notice Of the Keo-
kuk situation, all of which in view OF
later developments has also proven
false. Attorney Miller has been IN
correspondence with Attorney Cos
| son relative to the Keokuk situation
and has had no doubt but that the
proper consideration. would be giver
| to conditions here. The letter from
Attorney Cosson today is conclusive
that a legal investigation will BIZ
made. If conditions prevail such a.
are alleged the responsible part!
should be made to suffer and If no
guilty he should be vindicated. TIL,
citizens who are complaining abou
the frequent violations of law hav.
full confidence they have ample evi
dence to support their position.
