He sits in state from sun to sun,
and hands out wisdom by the ton.
One Anxious Correspondent writes for
something that cures chigger bites;
and Old Subscriber wants to know a
good receipt for canning snow; and
More Anon would like to have a for
mula for making salve. From dema-
gogues he takes the hides; he gives
advice to blooming brides; with scorn
assails the idle rich, and oft pre-
scribes for BARRIERS itch. He shows
how wildly Congress errs, and tells us
how the cockleburs may be removed
from horses tails; and then with joy
Gus Zest he sails into an estimate of
Taft or jolts the referendum graft.
His soul with mystic lore is fraught;
he has to be an aeronaut, a poet and
an engineer, pugilist devoid of fear.
He should be skilled enough to shave,
or milk cow, or dig a grave; to
write a dirge when someone dies, and
wink three times when some one lies
He ought to know all things, and then
impart his wisdom with his pen, and
not give way to grief or fear, if he is
busted all the year.

The track seems clear for a pleasant little
controversy between George r. Carter and Dele
gate Kuhio over that now famous cancelled in
terview with the president. Delegate Kuhio in
letter received here some time ago and pub
lished by the Star Bulletin told of visiting Sec
retary Tumulty and cancelling the interview, in
timating in language not particularly charac-
ferized by regeneration that someone had blum
dered and limiting that the someone was Mr..
Carter. Hence, explained the delegate, he had
cancelled the interview He also told Of visiting
the president in company with Mr.. w. A. Kin
ney and of having a forty minutes interview
with him on the subject of sugar and Hawaiian
conditions. Now Mr. Carter, his rebuttal en-
tirely destitute of circumlocution, answers the
delegate in terms that bristle. incidentally,
prominent sugar men are reported to have in
their possession statement of the Kuhio Kin
ney interview with Mr.. Wilson in which, it is al
legged Kuhio introduced Kinney to speak for him
and Kinney spoke for the forty minutes the in
lerview lasted. There is raw material here for
interesting give-and.take and, as mentioned
abore, the two principals show no tendency to
resort to periphrasis. They do not speak OF a
familiar instrument used for the excavation of
common or garden soil when they mean spade

STRIDES OF SCIENCE.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: One is sometimes surprised
to learn how very little news the
great newspapers of the world give
us of the discoveries of science, the
progress of Invention, or even of the
great achievements in various lines
of work.
For instance, how many people
know that a two-story house worth
$4,000 WIS recently erected in the
United States in one day or in "a
hours? 1t is true some 140 men were
working on the job, but this does not
make it any less remarkable an
achievement.
Still more wonderful is the fact that
the Ford Motor Company recently
erected and set up in complete run
ming order a Ford automobile in just
two and a half minutes.
And still more surprising is the fact
that an old automobile was sold for
junk for $50; repaired and remodeled
by the purchaser into a racing ma
chine and was put in race in which
40 of the finest racing machines in the
world had been entered, and won the

hall in their section of the city voiced by KAPPA
hulu residents to Sheriff Jarrett this morning,
the sheriff would be perfectly justified in refus-
ing to issue the permit and letting the applicant
take the case to court if she so wishes. He need
not ask for an injunction restraining him from
issuing the permit, in order to get a test case.
Let the other party take the matter to court to
compel him to issue it. .<.%

GuBAR PREFERENTIAL STAYS

Much needless misinformation regarding the
Cuban preferential of 20 per cent in the sugar
tariff has been spread in Hawaii lately through
the insistence of the morning paper that its re-
port was correct Now comes an authoritative
statement to Alexander s Baldwin, bearing out
precisely what the Star Bulletins correspondent
cabled from Washingto that the Cuban pref
erential remains in force.
The Associated Press report that came into
the "a 2. San Francisco office from Washington
appears to have been indefinite, leading to the
I9lmor that the Cuban preferential had been
dropped by action of the tariff conferees. The
uncertainty caused the Star Bulletin to cable to
its Washington correspondent, and on October
our correspondent denounced the rumor as
false. The Advertiser since then has been in
sisting that the Cuban preferential was dropped
The Star Bulletin went right to headquarters
for its information, got it and published it. And
it was correct

TIE OWNING ROD AGAIN

German scientists are reviying the oft.argue,
question Of the adiviningrod" which, it will
remembered, WAS threshed out pro and con il
Hawaii fevnlhonths ago The Rev IL Aasol
came here from Australasia tosfipd water TO
several dry spots, one Of which was Lanai Al
last accounts, his discoveries had not beel
marked with permanent success.
The scientific side Of this question has beer
seitating a German congress, from a. report o
which the following points are taken:
Although the entire diyining-rod matter is gener-
ally considered being connected more less with
fraud and superstition. many scholars and learned
men. geologists mineralogists and miners were
e1t ct the congress
"A staggering array Of statistics was produced
which tended show that the diyining-rod question
has scientific value and iustifies scientific defense
r was said that among others the kaiser is firm
believer in the value Of the dvihing rod for locating
water. a2
II was said that at the time the city engineer at
Kiel harbor was unable to find water supply for
the city Councillor Uslar. who had learned how TO
manipulate willow twig in Africa was sent for at
the request Of the kaiser and he found iPexhaus
tible supply.
An affidavit was laid before the congress from
engineers of the Munich municipal wuer depart
ment In which it was affirmed that after they had
tried in vain to find a subterranean leak in big
pipe line which made It impossible to keep up the
pressure, 4 was decided to send for diyining rod
expert before resorting to the extreme measure of
tearing up the line to find the leak. diyining rod
was procured and It quickly indicated the spot
which proved to be where the leak was situated.
Before the assembling of the congress several
members decided to make some practical tests with
diyning rod. and in the presence of biologists
and mineralogists, Scharf. mine inspector, with
hazel stick indicated spot where water would be
found In large orchard where repeated borngs had
failed to strike water Borings were made today at

THE PEsKY FLY.

The flies, the flies, the pesky flies,
they crawl upon the bread and pies,
and on each bite Of food we eat they
wipe their nasty, dirty feet. They buzz
around defying foes, they dance upon
your face and nose and then without
apparent fear they dig and tunnel in
your ear. They light upon your hair
less head at early dawn when you're
abed. They fly and frolic everywhere
and make the housewives almost
swear. They fall down in the crock
Of cream; they get mixed up in the
cake and all the housewife, tries to
bake; they drop down in the coffee
cup and in the 'lasses get mixed up.
With nimble feet and active wing
they leave their germs on everything,
and then their presence they explain
with dots upon the window pane.
The above mentioned things would
not have occurred had that home been
screened with material which we have
on hand at very reasonable prices.

MINOT'S GARBAGE.

It seems to the Independent that one
of the most important propositions
that confronts Minot at the present
time is that of disposing of its gar
bage. This is getting to be large
city. Garbage accumulates in large
quantities every day. Some of the
citizens are careful to place it in cans
but others throw it in great piles
where it soon smells to heaven, fur
nishing the finest kind of breeding
place for flies. The dumping grounds
are now located two miles from the
city and the haulers have increased
the price of removing the garbage
from one dollar to two dollars load.
1t costs dollar to get garbage can
emptied. This is too much under the
circumstances. Commissioner Dor
man has been trying to hire gar
bage man who would look after this
work exclusively, but at this writing
nothing definite has been done. There
are still places in the city that have
not been cleaned for months but no
one seems to care. Let's clean up the
city in thoro manner.

The Mexican situation presents one
of the knottiest problems with which
our government has had to contend
for some time. Several Of the Euro
pean governments have recognized the
Huerta government in Mexico, but
Ambassador Wilson, acting under in
structions of the secretary Of state,
has been doing business with the Mex
leans in an informal way. Huetra
is in control of the city of Mexico and
two or three adjacent provinces but
there is great opposition to him in the
northern part. This government has
desired to withhold its recognition
until after the October elections. Am
bassador Wilson has been called to
Washington and there is some talk of
Intervention on the part of Uncle
Sam.

What's the use of being pessimist.
Every country has its failures. Back
in Indiana there is a failure of the
wheat crop this year. The farmers
don't mind that, however, for they
have good corn crop in sight. They
have the cow on the farm. They have
some good mich cows backing them
up. They have a nice bunch of hogs,
and they 60 about at though their
wheat was yielding them twenty
bushels to the acre, instead of reap
ing from seven to ten. The farmer
who gathers about him few head of
cattle and hogs, the farmer who be-
lieves in diversified farming, the
farmer who farms a little less and
does it better, is the farmer who new
er becomes pessimistic over threaten
ed crop failures.-Mott Spotlight.

New Rope.

A new rope, particularly if it be
sisal, often causes trouble because Of
its stiffness. If used as q hay-fork
rope, or in any place where it runs
through set of pulleys, it is apt to
be troublesome until it has been used
for some time. This trouble may be
avoided by boiling the rope in water.
The plan usually used is to coil the
rope in boiler or large soap kettle
and cover with water and bring to
stretched out and allowed to dry, when
it will be found to be soft and pliable.
Manila rope is usually soft enough
to use without such treatment.

A move is on foot to ask congress
to provide way whereby states may
tax nonresident catalogue houses on
the amount of business they do in
such states. For instance, catalogue
houses in Chicago do thousands of dol
lars worth of business in Minnesota
yet contribute not cent in taxation
to the state, and they do this business
in competition with the local mer-
chants who are taxed heavily for the
support of schools, building of roads,
etc. The local merchant is discrimi-
mated against and the catalogue house
should either be required to obtain a
license, the same as a pack peddler,
or pay taxation in proportion to the
business it does in state.-1nter-
