Liner HOLDS Up
Night PRACTISE
OF FORT RUGER
New Shot Correction eNStem
Used for First Time Oh
Oahu; Good Results

. Because the Matson liner Lurline
passed through the field of danger
last night when the 12-inch mortars
of Fort Ruger were firing during night
target practise, it was necessary TO
suspend firing for half an hour. .
The liner left Honolulu harbor and
steamed to sea, right through the CEN
ter of the firing zone, disregarding
warning published in both newspapers
here and printed notices posted In
prominent places for the last two
weeks. In order to prevent possible
damage to the steamer the fort ceased
firing until the Lurline had passed out
of the field of danger, headed for Ka-
hului and Kaanapali, Maui
Last night firing was featured by
the initial use Of system Of shot cor
rection devised by Capt. Carr w. Wal
Ter, commander of Battery Harlow.
the 12-inch mortars Of the fort.
BY Capt. Walters method correc-
lions for the fall OF shots were made
after each salvo Heretofore there
have been no corrections made during
mortar night practise This is be-
liesed to be the first time in these
islands that fire correction has been
possible at night and the results
plainly indicated the value OF the new
system.
Trial shots were fired at o'clock
last evening, two into the fifth and
two into the sixth zones Of fire, to
obtain data for use in the record prac-
tise after dark. 80
Starting at o'clock, record prac-
tise was commenced. Many specta-
tors watched the firing from points
Of vantage along the beach from the
harbor entrance to Waikiki. Search
light batteries of Forts Ruger and De
Russy played on the target continu-
ously as II was towed through the DIFF.
ferent zones OF fire by tie U. S. tug
of war Navajo, which sent up rockets
to indicate her changes in course
from one zone to another when di.
rected to alter her direction.
Lieut.-Col w. e. Ellis, commander
OF Fort Ringer, was in general charge,
with Capt Frederick w. Phistere-,
who is daily expecting his promotion
to majority and who leaves on the
September transport, acting as fire
commander. Capt. Waller was bat.
terry commander.
The average range at which the 80
record shots were fired was 5000
yards. Apparently /. very satisfactory
results were obtained.

Every Voter Must Have His Name on
Books This FAN no, Matter
When He Last
Registered.
TO THROW AWAY BOOKS
Former Lists Will be Discarded and
Brand New Ones Must be
Made Up For This
Voting.

In preparation for the election No
vember Z, w. S. Allen, secretary of
state, is calling the attention of the
proper officials to the laws governing
the printing of the ballots, registra-
ton and the absent voters law.
Travelling men and others who will
be away from home on election day,
are planning on voting by mail. The
absent voters law will for the first
time in Iowa be given full test 1t
might have been used in the primary
last June. but only few voters took
advantage of it.
In cities of 300 population or over,
new registration books must be made
up this year. The old books will be
thrown away. Voters in order to cast
ballot at the November election
must go through the form of register
ing again.
Registration boards will be In ses-
sion October 26, q and % in every
voting precinct from a. m. to 9 p.
NJ. for the purpose Of registering vot-
ers. The boards will be in session
again Saturday, November 4.
Absent voters ballots can be Sc
cured by applying to the county audi
tor not earlier than October "a and
not later than November 4. Each abb
sent voter must secure ballot from
the auditor Of the county in which he
resides. The auditor has regula-
ton form of application for the bal
lot, which is to be filed out.
The law makes no provision for reg
istering by mail.
All electors must register again in
their voting precinct some time be-
fore election, If they expect to vote
in person or by mail, the state Off
Gals say.
Persons who vote by mail will fill
out their ballots in the presence OF
some official authorized to administer
oaths, but in manner that the off,
cial shall not know how the ballot is
marked. The ballot then shall be
placed in an envelope and sealed by
the official.
The envelope may be mailed or de
livered in person to the county audi
tor, who, on election day shall see
that the ballot is placed In the ballot
box in the proper precinct.

CUT THIS OUT
Old English Recipe for Catarrhal
Deafness and Head

ll
II you know someone who is
troubled with head noises, or Ca
tarrhal Deafness, cut out this for
mula, and hand 1t to them, and you
will have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. Recent experiments
.. have proved conclusively that Ca
tarrhal Deafness, head noises, ETC.,
were the direct cause of constitu-
tional disease. and that salves,
sprays, inhalers. ETC., merely temper
ize with the complaint and seldom,
II ever, effect permanent cure.
This being SO, much time and money
has been spent of late by noted
specialist in erfecting pure, gentle.
yet effective tonic that would quickly
dispel all traces of the catarrhal
poison from the system. The effective
prescription which was eventually
formulated, and which has aroused
the belief that deafness will soon be
extinct. is given below in understand
able form, SO tnat anyone can treat
themselves In. their own home at
little expense.
Secure from your druggist OF.
Parmint Double Strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home and add to
it n pint of hot water and 4 OF. Of
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take one tablespoonful four times a
day. 81
The first dose should begin to re-
lieve the distressing head noises,
headache, dullness, cloudy thinking,
ETC., while the hearing rapidly returns
as the system is invigorated by the
tonic action of the treatment. Loss
of smell and mucus dropping in the
back of the throat, are other symp-
tors that show the presence of
catarrhal poison. and which are often
entirely overcome by this efficacious
treatm ent Nearly ninety per cent
OF all ear troubles are directly caused
by catarrh; therefore, there must be
many people whose hearing can be
restored by this simple home treat
ment.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness. or
catarrh in any form, should give this
prescription trial. Wilkinson & Co.
can supply you.

saw to the carrying out of the ar
rangements. 1t was due to him that
the tour was proposed and that 1t

It is safe to say that when he an.

On account of its simplicity, it naturally
stands for efficiency, as engineers will

lest design is invariably the most eff

1T REQUIRES NO ADJUSTMENTS
MANY people who hesitate to buy
WHY'S might motor because they fear
garage men over the country do not
understand the Knight motor need not
hesitate on this account, as my WHY'S
Knight motor scarcely ever needs ad-
justment, and whatever adjustment it
may need | can do myself
1T is ECONOMICAL.
ri find my Willys-Knight motor is
very economical, as | have no repair
bills, and my oil consumption is low
REV. ERNST FURTHER SAYS:
II want it clearly understood that it
is not my object to induce anyone to
buy Knight car but as was asked to
give my opinion on the above points, |
felt that could conscientiously do 50.
Having driven my car myself for SIX
months at an average OF five hundred
miles per month, feel safe in saying
that if anyone is inclined to purchase
Wills-Knight car, questions Of power
economy, durability and smoothness
need not cause him to hesitate"

IT IMPROVES WITH USE

Experience shows that my WHY'S
Knight motor improves with use.
notice from day to day the engine runs
smoother and quieter. There is never
any cleaning or grinding of valves and
as far as missing is concerned, that
scarcely belongs to the vocabulary OF
the Knight motor"
1T IS MORE POWERFUL
81 have travelled over some of the
worst roads in the country and found
that when other cars would hang on the
hillside | could keep right on with the
more powerful Knight motor
IT is MORE FLEXIBLE.
ri find that it picks up very easily
and eliminates much gear-shifting and
becomes more flexible with use"
IT is QUIET IN OPERATION
AND STAYS so.
passing of time naturally improves
the smooth and quiet running OF my
Knight motor, whereas many motors be-
come noisy with age. Often times my
Willys-Knight touring ca. runs so quiet
ly that I have asked my wife whether
the motor was running or not.
1T is SIMPLE.

sary to understand the Knight motor
