Oceanic
STEAMERS Will
TAKE MAIL

What TO do about mail service from
Honolulu TO San Francisco. and vice
versa. is worrying the postcffice au
thorities considerably this week in
blew of the fact that neither the So
noma nor the Ventura OF the Oceanic
line will carry mail officially. from
here to the mainland, and the Pacific
Mail is Withdrawing its service nexi
month.
Latest advices received here by
Brewer < Company, agents for the
Oceanic Steamship Company, are to
the effect that the Sierra viii not be
placed in service On the local" run
from San Francisco to this port until
November 8. No mention is made OF
the Australia run for the Sierra.
With this boat reSuming service the
situation is expected 10 be relieved

This contract was let by the post.
office department July /, 1914, to run
for four years, which means that with
the boat resuming service it will also
resume carrying mail, unless the con.
tract has been annulled by the de-
partment in the meantime, due to the
boats being out of commission for SC
long. This is not believed to be the
case, and no word to this effect has
yet been received either by the post
master or Brewer & Company, Homo
lulu agents.
Both Brewer & Company and Post.
master Young are anxiousIy awaiting
word concerning the question of mail
being carried ON the Sonoma and
Ventura to and from San Francisco.
At present these boats take no mail
from the postoffice for the mainland,
although letters left in government
stamped envelopes at Brewer & Com
pany's office will be taken over.
The Sonoraa and Ventura take post
office mail from this city to Sydney,
but not from here to the mainland.
There is no contract existing between
the government and the, company for
carrying local mails, owing to differ
cnces arising several months ago be-
tween the Oceanic and the postoffice
department. Prior to that both boats
carried mail on subsidy basis No
definite. word has been received yet,
but a settlement of the difficulty is
locked for within short time, and is
anxiousiy awaited.

Lean said the company has a con.
tract with the government to carry
mail to McGregor's landing until 1918.
Commissioner Mccarthy told Mclean
that the mail contract was roor ar.
gument. He said the United States
government didn't expect any mail
carriers to land at condemned land
ings, and further added that il would
be easy to get the contract amended
to read Lahaina or Kihei instead Of
McGregor's.
Mclean admitted this. but said that
it would cost the company more
money to transport the mails from
Iahaina to Wailukn than from Metre.

Lyman's bill passing, provided $4,000
for extending McGregor's landing 100

TUESDAY WAS YEARS
SHORTEST DAY,
WINTER SOLSTICE TOOK PLACE
AND SUN STARTS NORTH
AGAIN,

Tuesday was the shortest day of the
year, there being sunlight Of onl eight
and a half hours.
Tuesday was not the only day of the
year on which such short hours Of Jun
light occur. There are eight days OF
virtually equal length, the difference
being in seconds only, the first one be-
ing last Saturday and the last one be-
lnr c X Sunday.
One curious thing in this connection
is that Christmas day, coming in be.
tween, has one extra minute of sun
light, "cording to government tables.
Just why this is scientists fail to ex-
plain.
The reason that Tuesday is regard
ed as the shortest dav of the year is
that on hat day or the following the
"intc" s~ols'ice takes place, that mean.
ing that the sun reaches the farthest
point south in its travels, and on the
following day starts n its journe,
north again.

the joke. They did not remain long as
the suggestion failed to meet public

Amusing incidents have occurred
since Saturday night. Parties who
evidently did not realize t,,aat the "well
had gone dry, came in on Monday
morning and several tried the doors of
their favorite drink emporiums, only
to find the doors locked.
A man came in Saturday from a

to enter a liquor cure institution and
insisted on remaining over for the Gel
ebration, allowing that this was his
first chance to "see the saloons go out
in a wet town." He aided materially
in the swan son chorus Saturday night.

GIGANTIC BIPLANES ADD ONE
MORE TERROR TO WAR

In the January American Magazine
Merle Crowell tells some inside facts
about Canada's new giant ~biplsnes:
Dressed up in its armor, Canada
is known as a war destroyer; in a gadb
of peace it would be called an aerial
express or an aeroplane-de-luxe The
general set Of the planes resembles
that Of the original America. In
other respects the two machines have
hardly a family resemblance. The
America is a flying boat; the Canada
looks like an armored touring car with
enormous wings-provided that one

spreads out several feet on both sides
of the planes, the guns have a full arc
of fire. On each side of the cabin,
where fuselages run back to the rud-
der, or tail, is set a 100 l.orse power
Curtis "V" type motor. The two mo-
tors, which run Without vibration,
drive the staunch mahogany propell-
ers to the tune of ninety miles an
hour.
The Canada's wings are constructed
of selected woods and steel wire, cum
ningly wrought together; in some
places they are foot thick. The ribs
arethree-ply, gumwood within and two
thicknesses of birch without, all solidly
glued together and reinforced with
brass tacks. When they are finished,
the planes, like those of all the new
warbirds, can absorb shot and shell
with the immunity of a professional
sword swallower.
By virtue of the Sperry stabilizer,
which has contributed much more to
the stability of aeroplanes than any
other invention, the pilot, if he wishes,
may Disregard the controls and de-
vote his time to the gentle art of drop
ping bombs. The stabilizer, with it's
little horoscopes rotating at twelve
thousand revolutions a minute, looks
after things during the bombardment.
They claim that a stabilizer makes a
plane "fool proof"
A bomb-dropping device is hitched
to the stabilizer; and by an intri,ate
mechanical device the speed of the
machine, the wind-drift, aind the ex-
act angle of the plane from the hor-
izontal are determined with cxactness.
When the pilot, looking thru 4 sight
ing-glass, sees the object which he
wishes to hit, he pull a lever and a
bomb drops thru the bottom of the
machine straight to the mark"

KIDNEY CURES"
BEING SEIZED
PREPARATIONS CONTAINING A
HIGH PERCENTAGE OF ALCO-
HOL REGARDED AS NOT ONLY
WORTHLESS BUT HARMFUL.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 22.-Action
against several so-called "kidney
cures" has recently been taken under
the Food and Drugs Act by the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
n case the shippers of Z preparation
Tabled as "a Sure Cure for Bladder
and Kidney Trouble" were prosecuted
on the charge of falsely and fraud
ulently mis5randing the product. They
pleaded guilty and were fined s256 and
costs by the court. This particular
kidney "cure" was found to contain
over al per cent alcohol. 1t Tabled
"Old Jim Fields Phosphate Dill and
Gin Mankind's Greatest Friend. A
Sure Cure for Bladder and Kidney
Trouble. It is also u Great Aid in
Case of Urinary Trouble. Allenberg
e. Meister, Sole Agents. Memphis,
Tenn" An analysis of the product
showed that it contained no material
amount Of either dill or phosphate.
In another case 4S bottles of "Stu-
arts Buchu and Juniper Compound,
prepared by the Stuart Manufacturing
Co., Atlanta, Ga, We're seized. The
court issued a decree of condemnation,
forfeiture and destruction on the
ground that the claims upon the liable
We're misleading, false, ind fraudu-
lent. On this liable the manufacture
ers recommended their product as a
remedy for a great variety of kid..y
and bladder diseases ana stated that
the medicine contained16 per cent al
cohol. 80
According to the medical experts Of
the Department, alcohol is a kidney
irritant and is dangerous in many cas-
es of kidney disease. For this reason
many physicians advise their patients
who suffer from any kind of XII ,ney
or bladder trouble to .bstain from the
use Of alcohol eve in moderate guam
titles. Some manufacturers of kit ley
medicines viii h contain considerable
quantities of alcohol also advise t. cir
customers to abstain from all alcoholic
drinks, showing in this way that they
know the harmfulness o: alcohol in
kidney diseases, oven thor h they use
1t in their w preparations. 1t is the
opinion of the medical experts of the
departmet that so-called "kidney rem
edies" as those recently seized are not
only worthless but actually harmful,
because of the amount of alcohol
which they contain.
