more after an absence of several
months in the orient, said he had no

The Hawaiian islands are not in the

apparently are under the delusion
that they are if a letter received a
few days ago by Acting Collector of
Customs Raymer Sharp, from two bro
theirs living in Daytona, Florida, is to
be believed.
Mr. Sharp made the letter public
today. In part it reads:
LAS We are DESTROYS of making a
cruise among the South Sea islands,
we wish to ascertain the draft of
trading vessels which navigate those
waters, also the number and cost of
modern large-scale charts and sailing
maps.
What are the best months to cruise
in latitude 10 to 80 degrees south in
the Pacific:"
Mr.. Sharp's answer will leave We'd

searchers after South Seas informa.

Tahiti. As Honolulu is 81 degrees
north latitute, Mr. Sharp feels the
matter is slightly out of his jurisdic-
ton, inasmuch as Tahiti and the
South. Sea islands are 1889 miles
south of this port.

CAPITOL Being
MADEOVER;
AS GOOD AS new
Interior and Exterior of Old
Palace viii Soon Be in
Trim Condition

When tourists, old and new, assem-
BILE in Honolulu at Carnival time next
February, they will see among other
things a territorial capitol so renewed
and remodeled by the cunning hands
of painters, carpenters, plasterers and
mechanics that it will be for the most
part a new capitol.
With the new elevator now prac-
tically complete, and receiving its
coat OF aluminium which is to underlie
its final coat of bronze, with practical
ly all Of the new ohia floors down, and
with the walls receiving their final
touches of paint, the interior of the
building is rapidly assuming look OF
completeness. which it has not had
during the past months of the sum-
mer when alterations were in full pro-
gress.
On the outside, the walls of the
capitol are to have a thorough over
going, which will clean them up and
make them spick and span. Also there
is to be a new roof for the entire
building.
All Of the stairs have been repaired.
The first floor stairs will be laid with
rubber carpet, while cloth carpets will
be laid on the other. Most Of the old
ratings will be kept being repaired
here and there as need be.
Eight or 10 large picture frames
which have hung for years in the up
per hall have been renovated and
painted in bronze, which harmonizes
we'll with the elevator color, and with
the general pearl gray Of the walls and
ceiling.
One Of the unique features of the
decorations in the big hall, and one
that appeals especially to the heart of
Inspector A. Richiey, who has direct
charge Of all the inside work under
Superintendent Forbes, is a series Of
lights surrounded with cut glass crys-
tails. The effect Of the light when
turned on in the evening is said to be
magnificent.
In the center of the hall is the big
dome, the top of which is to be COW
cred with a glass Of some sober color
to harmonic with the rest of the dec
orations.,
