The storm struck late this forenoon with velocity of 30 miles an hour, at noon increased to 60, and during the afternoon fluctu- ated between 60- and 70 miles, blow ing in northeasterly direction. At eight o'clock tonight occasional gusts were % miles. The only damage thus far is the destruction of window panes and insecure woodwork on ex- posed buildings.

"A MYSTERY ID
 BE SOLVED
GREAT PONTOONS HAVE BEEN MADE IN SAN FRANCISCO FOR RAIS- ING THE VESSEL.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 16. - The mystery of the sinking of the submarine F-4 off Honolulu Aarbor which has long baffled the naval au- thorities because of their inability to raise the vessel from the bottom of the sea, is expected to be solved with in the next few weeks. Four pom toons have been completed here for a new effort to raise the submarine, and the naval engineers have no doubt that the vessel, with its ill-fated crew, will at last be brought to the surface. The cruiser Maryland is taking the huge pontoons to the har- bor of Honolulu, where the F-4 lies, under the waves.
 Whether the sinking of the vessel was due to explosions, defect of ma chinery, defect in the material of its construction, or to some other cause unforeseen will be known when the F-4 is brought to the surface. The work of raising the vessel has pro gressed to such an extent that the F-4 has been brought from 3OO- foot depth to shelving about 40 feet under the surface.
 The submarine disappeared at the entrance of Honolulu harbor on Thursday afternoon, March 25. When definitely located, some weeks later, it lay on the ocean bed 300 feet be low the surface. The work of rais- ing the vessel has been carefully con ducted, and the submarine is intact, so that the cause of the tragedy of the underwater craft will probably be ascertained.
 The pontoons, especially built to complete the raising of the F-4, are made of metal One or more of them will be placed each side of the sunken vessel, and chains will be passed underneath the "A and at tached to the pontoons, forming a sling. Air pressure will be applied, the water will be blown out of the pontoons. and they will rise to the surface bringing the submarine with them.

It is also announced that brief holiday periods of from two to four days will be granted at intervals of about two months to men and wo- men who are putting in practically seven days a week. The explanation is that work people began to show signs of flag" under too constant employment at the bench or ma chine, and the directors decided it would be in the interest of future output to sacrifice few days now and then.
