me that there was more useless for
mality here than at any port | know
of. I was especially struck by the
avoidable delay which took place in get
ting into the berth. These delays all
tend to irritate travellers, and this is
not desirable.
A Fast Service Advocated.
Apart from that 1t seems to me
that it is necessary to improve the
communication. A reasonable fast SER
vice between Sydney and Honolulu,
! say via Suva, Fiji. will enable people
to do the journey in. say, eleven days.
Dates could be arranged with the out
going steamer that would give eight or
nine days in Honolulu. Eleven days
back would enable the holiday-maker TO
cut out his month and give him very
! pleasant holiday. Associated with the
question of service, Of course, is the
question of fares, and cannot under
stand why the shipping companies do
not offer some inducements to travel
ers during the dull season.
A Practical Hint.
"On my trip this time there were
Itwenty-seven first-class passengers on
the ship, which | understand accommo-
dates $50. Surely it would pay the
companies concerned to make some
concession to induce travellers to make
the journey in the quiet times.
A Retrograde Step.
81 do not understand what influences
were at work when the Canadian-Aus.
trala contract was fixed up between
New Zealand and Canada, but what
ever they were the results seem to be
highly ridiculous, insomuch as it
means that Australia with its five mil
lions of people cannot get to Suva, Ho-
nolulu or the west coast of the United
States without making a detour to a ,
small place like New
Zealand, involving every traveller in !
some hundreds of miles of unneces-
sary travel and no doubt involving the 1
companies in extra expense. !
which reacts in a direction of higher
'ares. The position, as / view it, seems
o be a ridiculous one, and although |
know a great deal about local politics,
yet how Australia came to be in this
position is more than, I can compre-
lend.

soIvinq the Old Problem.

When Sir Thomas Lipton was small boy in Scotland he dropped into a church one Sunday morning and was put by himself in a pew directly in front of the minister, who preached a sermon on the. text ''Am my brothers keeper?''
 The parson, who was unusually elo- quent, talked on this theme for about forty minutes and finally worked up to the climax of his remarks. He kept his gaze fixed directly on the little Lip ton, who began to 6dget and look very self conscious. At last. after an over whelming outpouring of long words. the minister, his eyes blazing, made a quick gesture and shouted at the boy:
 Am l my brothers keeper?'
 Lipton could stand the strain no lon- ger, and replied in a meek voice:

The GaIIows Plant.

During the middle ages the botanists. or old "herbalists," gave currency to many curious stories concerning the growth, form. etc. of the mandrake or May apple. which finally resulted in it's being given the name of ''gallows plant" The pseudo scientists of that time declared that mandrakes would grow in no other place except upon which some terrible crime had been committed. The roots were formerly supposed to bear a strong resemblance to the human form.

HAWAIIAN FISH GET
TO SYDNEY ALIVE

Fifteen Hawaiian fish have reached
Sydney alive and kicking, making the
trip in the bathtub in Captain Glib s
stateroom aboard the Canadian-Austra-
liam liner Makura. The fish were put
aboard the liner here by Super
intendent Potter of the Honolulu
Aquarium, the specimens having been
obtained in the deep water off Waikiki.
Captain Glib writes that three days
after leaving Honolulu all the "deep,
thin ones" died. The captain appears
to be short on knowledge of the
denizens of the deep and his descrip-
tion of those that failed to survive
does not throw very much light on the
class that passed away. They are be-
lieved to be those which fly sort of
homeward- bound pennant.
The Sydney corporation sent for the
fish to be placed in their own aquarium.
The fame of the Hawaiian painted fish
had reached Sydney and having nothing
exactly like ours the Sydney authorities
sent for large consignment.

ARRESTED FOR
TRUNK MURDER

PORTLAND, February 3.-Oi Sen
has confessed to the murder of Seid
Bing, the nephew of Portland mil
lionaire, and Wong 81 Sam has been
arrested for completely in the trunk
murder.
The body of Seid Bing was found
packed in a trunk in the Union Bag
gage room at Seattle on January "a.
Only the trousers had been removed
for dismembering the body, and the job
had been done by person familiar
with surgery or meat cutting. Salt had
been placed ON the body to prevent de-
cay and to stop profuse bleeding.
The trunk with the body inside had
been in the station for three days be-
fore it was discovered, having been
shipped from Portland.
Bing was foreman of Chinese salmon
cannery crews at Empire City and
Astoria, Oregon, and in Alaska. He
was nephew of Seid Back of Portland.
