upon that the best routes will be used
by the Australian government in send
ing the mails. If it is quicker to send
by the Panama Canal, then every op-
portunity will be availed OF to use that
route, but Australia is getting a pref
ty good service just now. She has
weekly service to London provided by
fortnightly sailings of the Peninsular
& Oriental Co. and the Orient S, S.
Co., while every other companys
steamers are awaited of where any
saving in time can be effected.
Australia has a lot of steamship
services, including those by the North
German Lloyd, one of the biggest ship
ping companies in the world, the Mes
sageries Maritimes and the White Star
liners. The German and French COM
panies have monthly sailings, so that
/ in many instances there are two mails
week to London, which is $4,000
miles away from Sydney. Then the
Canadian-Australian boats, which call
here, are used when there is any saw
| ing in time.
From glance at the running times,
it would seem that the Panama Canal
will not clip much off the times Of
journey The P e o. and Orient com
panes are landing the mails at AIDE
! laide in about thirty days, and the
German and French companies are
keeping close to these times. From
Adelaide the mails are conveyed to
Melbourne and Sydney by special
/ train
The class of ships used by the mail
companies are among the finest in the
world Every new ship turned out by
the companies engaged in the Austria

Preparations are on foot for
monster parade of the Chinese of Ho-
nolulu to celebrate the birth of the
republic of China and the election OF
Dr. Sun Vat Sen, Hawaiian-born
Chinese, as its first president
This demonstration will not be a
sideshow of the Floral Parade, as a
statement in another paper has given
the impression, although the Chinese
may turn out with a national display
on that occasion like the Japanese.
The celebration of the republic will
be an event of and by itself-an ex-
elusive Chinese patriotic blowout.
One of the main features of the pa
rade will be the marching in it of the
remnant of the Hing Chung Wui, or
the New China Society, organized
fifteen or sixteen years ago with a
real fighting purpose This organiaa-.
ton had more than a hundred mem
bers at the start, of whom there are
only twenty-six left in Honolulu to-
day. The rest of those still living are
in China helping along the formation
of the new government, including the
great leader of the movement himself.
This society used to meet here Sc
cretly with Dr. Sun. 1t organized a
company in preparation for war,
which was drilled with wooden guns
on the grounds of Mills Institute,
kindly granted for the purpose by
Francis w Damon, who has for many
years been a leader in educational
matters on behalf of the Chinese in
Hawaii.
Captain Victor Backe, a retired
Danish officer, was the drill instruc-
tor. William Vat Kwai Fong, Of the
Bank of Hawaii staff, was captain Of
the company, and C. K. Al treasurer
and manager of City Mill Company,
Ltd, its lieutenant
There will be one conspicuous
omission in the parade, from Chinese
professions that have heretofore made
spectacular sights on Honolulu
streets. The. accommodating dragon

claws, hideous scales and saw-toothed
tail-will not be triumphantly borne

THE BICYCLE IN ENGLAND.

1t is believed that the largest en-
ployer in the world of the bicycle is
the British postmaster-general. He
has in his department at present H.
400 of them, about one-half of which
are used by the rural delivery car
riers. Each bicycle averages 10000
miles of travel a year, making more
than 11O,OOO,OOO miles in the aggre-
gate, or 100000 miles farther than
the distance from the earth to the
sun. The life of the postoffice bicycle
averages four and half years, and
that of a tire about nine months. Bx-
cept for improvements in brakes,
change speed gears and other details,
the design of the bicycle has remain
ed unaltered for ten years.

in a trolley car.
Thou shalt not break down the NJ
license law by serving strong punch al
thy parties.
Thou shalt not forget the age Of
thy children i'm the public conveyance

place. Mr.. Schwerin said that Binns
was not a hero, and he would not be
influenced but he gave way
The record was 1890 miles. The
Korea spoke with San Francisco and
in this way broke the record held by
the transport Sherman of $500 miles.
There is nothing like a record about
the distances of 1920 miles and $500
miles referred to- The old Alameda,
when Mr.. Phelps was on her, covered
1900 miles by speaking to her sister
ship the Mariposa. With the Korea

so it is on the Siberia, for their in

BAD MANNERS
IN THE THEATERS

There Is a thoroughly established
code Of good manners for the theater
but there is decided lack Of taste
N the behavior Of many at the NOV.
ing picture shows-ln Honolulu at all
events
The patrons seem to think that
their actions should be in keeping
with the position that the moving pic
uue show occupies in the theatrical
world, and that they are succeeding
admirably is to be learnt by visit
to a show on any night.
People arrive, say in the middle of
song. DO they wait until the person
has finished singing, and then
find themselves seats? Not by any
means. They are ushered into places,
scramble past those seated, flop into
! their seats, and begin an animated
conversation amid the hustle of get
/ ting seated satisfactorily. They know,
/ Of course, that, without the interven-
/ ton of providence, the same person
will sing again at a later stage of the
performance, and then the song can
be heard from beginning to end.
Say on the other hand, the same
people had heard the song at the first
performance To they sit quietly in
their seats until the first song has
been sung, and then find their way
out quietly? No. AS soon as they
learn that they have heard the person
sing before, they make hurried dive
for the aisle and tramp out, quite 90
livious, apparently, of the fact thai
perhaps there are others who have
not heard the song, and are eccentric
enough to want to hear it.
This, of course, is not the onl!
fault. The management allows the
patrons to smoke This is a privilege
that one would think would be eXer
cised with discretion Instead, ther'
seems to be no end to the variety o
smoking material introduced. 1t il
