SINGING and the LUNGS.

It is well known that singing, like
whistling, is a fine exercise for the
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to go In for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they, of course,
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit Of
taking the big deep breath, which is
a primary requisite of any kind Of
singing, bad or good, and the physical
Joy derived from 1t will never allow
you to relapse into lazy breathing.

About 4 o'clock in the afternoon a courageous
or very hungry shark attacked the bait four
times before he met his doom. AS eX'

had a much more decisive effect than in the
case of the first fish. The length of the first
fish was 65 feet and that of the second rs

ABLES AS EXPERT
(Cortinued from page Onel

is very close to the estimate of ]. w.
Pratt, though he allows a trifle more
for the land and a bit less for the
building and improvements.
The same old game of trying to find
out just how the witness arrived at
his figures was resumed, Breckons
asking numberless searching ques-
tons. AS regards the rental value of
the premises, Mr.. Ables made the
statement that he would consider that
when firm like Castle & Cooke
enters into a lease with responsible
party, that fixes the rental value Of
the property.
Mr.. Ables was still on the stand
when the court took its noon recess,
and he will probably be there the rest
of the day and possibly part of to-
morrow.
The testimony given by the various
real estate experts is all along the
same line, and so is their crossexam-
ination. The object OF the respond
ents, of course, is to fix fee simple,
rental and lease values as high as
possible, while the intent of the gov
eminent is to break down and dis
credit their testimony as much as pos
sible 1t is probable that the jury, in
arriving at its conclusions, will FIND
some middle ground that will more
nearly represent the true values.
From now on the case will in a.
probability be conducted along the
same lines as those previously re
ported There is little chance of any
thing sensational, except perhaps, il
isloated instances that will have bu
an uncorrelated bearing upon the
main issues.

ANOTHER CHANGE
TO SHOW HAWAII

Hawaii seems again destined to get
a large amount of valuable advertis-
ing through a great semi-religious
gathering similar to that held in Bos-
ton a year ago. This time it is "The
World in Cincinnati" which opens on
March 8. A very prominent place has
been given to an exhibit from Hawaii,
a number of persons who are in close
touch with conditions here being at
the head Of the arrangements. The
spectacular portrayal Of Kapiolani de-
flying the goddess Pele at the brink Of
Kilauea, which made profound SEN
sation in London and later in Boston,
will again be produced.
The Hawaii Promotion Committee
has sent forward a large amount of
printed matter for distribution, includ-
ing a number of large printed cards
graphically setting forth, in brief
terms, figures concerning the develop
ment of the Territory, cost of trip to
Hawaii from various places, Mark
Twain's eulogy to Hawaii, and other
matters of interest to strangers. These
cards will be posted in conspicuous
places about the exposition buildings.
