trouble such as has not been seen in
this country since the ComanChe and
Apache rode the plains of Texas and
Oklahoma.
The 'reapportionment plan furnish
ed many hot fights during the legtS-
lative session of 1911. The Hawaii
delegation, sometimes helped by
Kauai, played considerable politics
with the reapportionment plan, which
was in the form of concurrent resO-
luton. for the simple reason that I'M
Ger the proposed reapportionment.
Hawaii and Kauai would have the
delegations cut down and Oahu would
be considerably strengthened. Al
though required by law to make the
reapportionment, the. Legislature did
not do so. The House passed the
.ienate's concurrent resolution and
then, on the last night of the session
when everything was in an uproar, the
House reconsidered its action, voted
against the resolution and returned
it to the Senate. 1t was all part OF
political play at the time which has
little present significance, except as
it has deferred the fight until the Leg

LETTERS ON TIMELY TOPICS

correspondence from the governors
party on beard the Thetis To my
certain knowledge, this is the first
time the Z-Ray has been used in news
paper communication, though scien-
fists have for some years been bring
ing it into state OF perfection.
\ word about the Z-Ray from a
scientist may not be amiss, as there
is considerable doubt in the layman
mind on this subject The Z-Ray was
discovered by DR.. l.. f. Armed, Phd..
cid, F.R.G.S. and W.XY.Y.Z., early
in the year 1909. while experimenting
with the X-Ray. The Z-Ray is at the
extreme end Of the chromatic scale,
measured in terms of light. 1t has
a vibration OF $4,000. 600 100000 per
second, which gives it it's remarkable
power of penetration. Unlike the
wireless or. Hertzian wave, it travels
best in daytime. The Tray can
circle the globe over a billion times
per minute AS means of Communi-
cation, scientists regard it as un-
eXcelled.
The Z-Ray or "thought-wave," as |
have noticed your paper calls it, is
wave of the fourth dimension, whose
coefficient is thus expressed:
Xxx plus 2y--HH2 equals .0O07111144.
Its principle is that of atmospheric
sound waves, just as the Hertzian
wave, but so strong are the waves
that there is no need for a head
phone. the operator receiving the mes
sage being able to take it down di-
rectly. The sound wave is also of
such frequency that it causes the
diaphragm to vibrate with a speed
greater than the naked eye can de-
tect. By means of the oscillograph,
the sound may be photographed, which
is exceedingly important. The beam
of light is refracted from miunte
crystal prism at a known angle but
unknown traps, and by a clever cleo
trical arrangement, may be made to,
form notwithstanding ideaographs
on a piece of mauve or lavender
paper. ...
The Z-Ray gives great promise of
revolutionizina wireless >communica-
tion and it is interesting to know
that here is the Hawaiian Islands,
where the common or garden variety
of wireless was first displayed, the
Z-Ray is to be developed.

BAR ASSOCIATION POLITICS

4. The warm discussion in the Bar Association
didates for office here shows quite c0nclusivcly
that politics is playing part in the association
even Though the members do not wish it. Tn.
Fortunate indeed is the situation when the dis
trict attorneys office is dealt with as political
job, yet the Bar Association itself yesterday. set
a line of demarcatiOn between the judgeships
and the federal attorneyship, calling one. side
political and the other one nOn-pOlitcal. 1t DC,
ours to the lay mind to wonder why, if the
Judges represent noH craftsmanship, such weight
is given the statement that the South Carolina
lber of the Hawaiian circuit bench, and why the
fight for Judge Edings is led by his fellow party
members. s@e.-.- ~--..--
Indeed, the discussion of political affliation
seems to outweigh that of personal qualifica-
items. The bar association nevertheless has rec
Iognized merit on the bench by Endorsements of
four judges for reappointment. f.
The opposition TO Judge Kingsbury appears
Ito have been coming to head for long time.
Some weeks ago attorneys began discussing the
|question of a successor for the Maui man. 1t
has been urged against Judge Kingsbury that
he flouts juries and attorneys alike and handles
cases with little regard forpthe feeling of the
learned counsel in the case Withal it may be
well to remember, in this day when the delays,
the wearisome technicalities Of the.law, are sub
jected to SO much criticism, that Judge Kings
bury has again and again lifted his voice in adj
v0cacy Of common-sense dealing with court
cases and that he has declined to be bound by
what. he considers merely trivial and outworn
customs He has shown backbone and indie
pendence, at least 5 ~.
