ncapaeity have been attained because If anything
improbable happens than the latest Ho police achievement
l will refuse to credit it.
What Hilo has done this time to put dead Filipino

him for nine days until the itself had remind the
community that it was still hanging around waiting for

the good people that burg that was something

Nothing was said heard Of the deceased until nine

the discovery resulted. 4"'f"t
After conducting hurried funeral Inspector Caceres
of the board Of health dsnfected himself then sought
the police station leaving those whom he overlook and
passed in doubt whether the sulphur smell came from his

noulu Gas Company who has recently returned from the
mainland with suitcase full of ideas whereby the
public Of Honolulu may be better served also brings back
report the latest scientific of beating quarter
inthe-slot meter, such many in Honolulu have in
order to let the Oriental cook realize that it is money burn
ing up when he touches his match to the range.
.The man who rented this meter" says Mr.. Strange,
twas known to be tamperng with it and for year the
company at complete loss to locate even clue
to his method
'IIe would not put quarter in the meter and yet he
used great deal Of gas The company changed the

to the Questioning of the company officials he would just
reply that the gas did not give out and that he would
not put a quarter in until it did.
The gas company threatened wrote letters, sent nspcc-
tors and did many other things to get him TO turn from
MS method but all to No G avail A. FAST tney made hm

steel mould and ether freezing machine such used
in connection with certain applications of the microscope
He poured aie water into the mould and few seconds

Danees-Lioensed and Unlicensed.
There has been considerable said pro and con- during
the past week regarding the public dance halls of the city
of it but have this to add concerning them that
the Worst licensed dance hall of Honolulu does permit
the style of dancing the limit vulgarity that
be at the Country Club OF the hotel dances
and at more than few OF the affairs which figure in the
society pages Of the papers If the Kulsu street dance hall
the Filipino dance hall Hotel street would tolerate
of the dancing affected today by society the police
would pinch the pace-and they would be justified This
is phase of the dance hall situation in Honolulu that
reqtires some consideration
know than woman in Honolulu society refuse
to open their homes to dancers at the time because
they approve of the Little Egypt steps in vogue
and at the time know that they very well
do the management of the Palama Settlement dances
does for nstancemake Raging against the rule and
that it is not done / trust that am not prudsh but |
must confess that when want to hosiery well displayed
prefer to pay my way into variety show than view it
from the Wall Flower bench of society function
