ELEVATOR CABLE
PARTS DURING
REGULAR TEST

Tenants of the Bank of Hawaii
building took considerable compulsory
exercise today. walking up and down
stairs, because the elevator went out
of commission at $3.50 o'clock this
morning when the weight cable broke
while it was being given its regular
strength test.
The inspector had just pulled the
safety trigger, as is usual during the
test The additional ton or more of
weight added to the cable pull proved
too much for the strand of steel anu
it parted. The cable weight dropped
about 30 feet making loud crash
when it hit the bottom of the shaft.
No passengers were in the cage at
the time, the only occupant being jim
my Wong. the assistant elevator boy.
The cage stepped two and half feet
above the second floor, making it nee
essary for Wong to crawl out as best
he could after opening the elevator
door shaft *>.-

/ The Hawaiian Department will be
without a single officer of the signal
corps for some weeks, owing TO
changes of station and leaves of alb

corps here.
Capt George s. Gibbs, who for three
years has been both commanding off,

The new C. o. of Field Company E,
Capt. Joseph B. Douglas, will not ar

coast and as Lieut.. r. E. Love, on
duty with the company, goes on leave
today, Lieut.. ]. A. McAndrew, I'd In

addition to the field company.
Capt. Gibbs leaves many warm
friends in the Hawaiian Department.
He and Mrs. Gibbs and their children
have occupied quarters at Fort Shat
ter where they have been generally
popular. Capt Gibbs and his company
probably know Oahu better than any
single outfit stationed on the. island.
While other organizations have spe-
cialized more or less in sections of
the island, the Field Company has
every range and camped at
every bay. They have made wireless
tests and laid land lines and made
themselves generally familiar with the
terrain.

EASTER

Easter" of course means, or
is a derivative of rise" Easter
Sunday is the rising Sunday"
or the day on which Jesus, the
Christ, was risen, hence we have
or are supposed to have, on
Easter Sunday, a holy Celebra-
tion recalling the time and cir
cumstance of Jesus rising.
In most churches, bad as it is,
the real cause of the day is OBJ
scured and the things most
talked of are. collections and
millinery and what so & so
had on. This is a total shame
but we call your attention to
it not so much as a dictator or
censor, but in order that you
may quit your foolishness and
do better. If we are wrong, you
be the judge.
Friday is called good Fri
day." on Friday, Jesus was cru
cited or mobbed. by law or
custom and buried in Joseph's
tomb, because he had no lot in
the cemetery at Jerusalem. The
people or prophets had said
that He would rise again so the
authorities ordered soldiers to
guard the tomb, though mas
sive stone lay over the dead,
they were afraid someone would
steal the body, not that he
would or could rise from the
grave or sepulcher, Early Sun
day morning, three days past,
He rose. The Angel was there
and is said to have said to Ma
ry Magdalene, sthe first there,
"why seek ye the living among
the dead, He is not here, but
is risen as He said and become
the first fruit of them which
slept, come and see the place
where He was lain, not where
He is" So ever since then we
who believe in the Christian
religion, accept these things and
celebrate this occasion, having
done so for 1915 years. So
you can see that this is no day
for clothes alone, such should
be secondary, go out on Easter
realizing its significance and
what Christianity is and what
your duty is. Take flowers and
perfume the Church .edi6ce and
study and learn the truth and
the truth will give you light
and you will see.

ARTISAN WATER IS
 FLOWING IN M'NEAL
First We'll Struck has Flow of 75
 Gallons per Minute.

McNEAL, April There is arte- sian water in the Sulphur Spring valley. The first real artesian well was brought in last week on the ranch of Leonar Berry twenty-four miles north of McNeal
 The well was rilled to a depth of Gao feet, the strongest flow coming in at less than 400 feet. Professor Smith, of the University, measured the water in the we'll flows a con tinuous stream of seyenty-fve gal Ions per minute. The pipe at the bottom of the well is but three inches, while the discharge pipe is four inches While testing the well a tenfoot pipe was aded to the discharge and the flow was not di- unfinished, which showed that there was a good force behind the we'll The cost of this well was about $500
 The problem of artesian water has long been a question in the Sulphur Springs Valley. There have been many stories of artesian water flow ing from wells in various parts of the valley in days gone by Before the bringing in of this Berry well, there was not a flowing artesian well in the valley, although there were good wells in the valleys on both sies of this.
 The contract Berry has for the drilling of this well was unique. The driller. who came from the San Si- mon valley, was to drill ia a depth of $50 feet If he struck arr tesian water Berry could borrow the money to pay for the work, In case of a dry hole, the driller would be given deed to the farm for his work and Berry would move away.
 With the announcement given by the bringing in of this Berry well, other wells will be started at once. Nearly every rig in the valley is busy now. Two wells are being drilled between McNeal and Tomb stone Holt and Dannely have been working day and night shifts with their rig
 If one artesian well can be made to flow continuously in this great basin. there is every reason to be- Heve that many more wells will be brought in, as the formation of the valley has everything to do with the making of the well, and the forma' ton is quite regular all through the valley.
