RY Mrs. KARL vON RARE.

Did you ever hear Of the trasko
waltz?
/ suppose not. It's new But in a
few months everybody will have heard
Of IT, Everybody Will he dancing it,
The trasKo waltz will unquestion-
ably be the dance OF the fall. Most
dancing masters, ourselves included,
will soon be teaching II. The new
dance fulflls better than any other
the requirements adopted at the
Cleveland convention.
There il was decided that we must
break away from the sensuous inhu-
ences of the south. The voluptuous
movements Of the Argentine tango
will give way TO the colder, more
graceful and more wholesome meas
ures OF the European folk dances.
For after this wild fad for foreign
steps. during which we have gone 10
Spain, Brazil. Argentine and even TO
China for the Tatao, we have come
back TO the good old. natural peasant
dances. which were the originals Of all
society dancing.
The trasko waltz is one Of these.
It is based on the charming folk
dances Of Denmark. It's prettiest fea-
ture Is the pirouette which, by the
way. was one OF the movements es-
pecially recommended by the Cleve-
land convention.
The dance starts with the familiar
waltz step, either the old waltz or the
hesitation After four measures of
this. comes the pirouette. in which the
lady makes one or more complete
turns, while the gentleman stands
still. The movement is we'll illus
trated in the accompanying pose.
This may be followed BY a few
measures of the waltz step with the
lady in front, facing the same way as
the gentleman. with another pirouette
and a resumption Of the normal waltz
movement.

MANY JAPANESE

The greatest. activity displayed
throughout Japan at the present time
appears TO be found in its shipyards,
which are scattered along the east
and west coast in large numbers.
bodybuilding has considerable to do
with keeping a large percentage OF
japanese at home" was, the comment
offered by an officer In the Pacific
Mail liner Nile that called at Homo
lulu en- route to the Pacific coast.
with unusual activity in the con-
struction of coasting, deep-sea steam
ers and vessels for the imperial Japa-
nese navy, all the yards are working
with increased shifts and under forced
pressure" was stated.
The Japanese are declared as reach
ing out for trade to an extent that
there is a constant clamor upon the
part OF the business men of that coun-
try for additional tonnage. The big
Nippon Yusen Kaisha has complied
with the request for more ships and
before the Nile sailed from Yokoha-
ma that company had placed two new
steamers in a coastal and Australian
service. ..E.s
The largest vessel said to be on
the way In japan is the superdread-

taken from places where We think
they can be spared. We can not give
you a definite promise that it will
be the last thing ever done there.
but it should be practically the finish
ing up Of that work. AS far as We
can see it finishes it.
The general character Of the land
defenses is a line OF strong works,
taking advantage to as great extent
as possible of the actual lay Of the
Iaud. 1t is designed from a military
standpoint, to protect the great ma
val station at Pearl Harbor, which
is, in a naval sense, the key of the
Pacific and one of the main defenses
of the Pacific coast, and, indirectly, of
the Panama Canal. The line also in
closes the city of Honolulu, and it
begins on the east at the old extinct
crater known as Diamond Head; 1t
follows the ridges up the mountain to
a point above which it is considered
impracticable for troops to pass; it
commands the pass through the noun
tains, and then drops down into the
valley, utilizing various craters, ra-
vines, bodies of water, and terminates
on the west side of Pearl Harbor.
1t is very strong line, but like all
natural lines it requires considerable
amount of work to give the proper po-
sition for guns and to supplement the
breaks in the natural barriers by
earthworks, and along the harbor-
front, in one or two places, by canals
dug to separate our batteries from
the mainland. l can give the commit
tee the general line of the works on
a map so that think you will under
stand perfectly the scheme of defense.
1t is rather difficult to give you a
word picture of the country, because
it is very broken and irregular, but
the main features are the central
plain, between two rugged mountain
ranges; the southern end of the plain
is indented by the bay of Honolulu
and by Pearl Harbor The line of
works runs from this old crater which
is, as it were, spur of the mountains,
incloses. the town and harbor, and
comes down to the sea on a volcanic
plain at the foot of the more easter!y
mountain range. 1t is a good line,
line that think we can hold for any
reasonable length of time, but it is
line that we must fortify pretty
strongly in order to give us any Sc
curity so far as holding the naval base
goes. The original thought was that
there were few places for landing on
the islands, but a careful survey has
shown large number of landing
places, probably Is or 20 places where
men can be landed in boats. The gen.
eral lay of the land is such that this
central plain is not accessible from
either side; that is, ono the west side
you come down along this westerly
range of mountains until near Pearl
Harbor before you can reach the GEN.
trail plain, and on the east side they
can only get into Honolulu through a
very narrow stretch of seacoast coun-
try which we hold pretty strongly. To
get in any other way from the east
side they would have to go about SO
miles around the seacoast and come
down, so that we are trying to hold
the line between the two mountain
ranges inclosing the city and naval
base.

KILLED
WHEN STRUCK BY
new TAN.CAB

The first accident followed by
death due to a collision with the new
taxi-cabs occurred shortly before $50
last evening on King street between
the entrance to the cemetery and the
intersection of Kapiolani street, at
which time Kon Seu, a Chinese, own
er of automobile number 1445, mar
ried and leaving a family OF eight
children, died while being conveyed
from the scene of disaster to the hos
pital.
Investigation followed by Special
officers Chiffon and Ferry indicates
to the satisfaction of the authorities
that the Chinese met death through
being struck by taxicab number 1853,
driven by NJ. Kanamoto.
Kon Seu's car became disabled
while en- route to town., He halted
about one hundred feet Waikiki of
the Mormon church, and prepared TO
replace a punctured tire According
to eye witnesses the disabled car was
stopped with the mauka wheels about
five feet from the curb. 1t was found
today that no tail or head lights were
displayed by the machine owned by
thet Chinese, and to this neglect. of
the rules of the road is attributed the
fatality.
Taxi No. 1859 was coming down
King street into town at pace said
to be ABOUT 10 miles an hour. Kama
motto, the driver. declared today that
as he approached the spot where the
Chinese machine has been stopped,
he saw brilliant lights from, a touring
carr coming. in an opposite direction.
This machine is said to have bowled
along at between So and 40 miles an
