questions by visitors. but the latter is
the latest and most unique?
This stcckyard is a livery stable, If

A recent arrival. apparently an AM

head-or mops it--when one asks him
anything, but this bracer made him
run his fingers through his curly locks
three times.

II SEATTLE GIRLS ASK

What is the correct pronunciation
of Honolulu" Three Seattle high
school girls want to know and have
written to Supt. Henry w. Kinney of
the department of public instruction
to find out. Is it pronounced Homo
lulu or "Honolooloo?" :.-
The girls letter is as follows:
in our class at school we are study
ing about the Hawaiian Islands and
had discussion whether your largest
city and capital was pronounced
Honolulu or Honoloo-loo as it is in
our geography. Which is It? Would
you please give me the markings Of
the word. -
How long have the islands been
called Hawaiian Islands? In our book
it says Sandwich Islands. How did
they happen to change 1t to Hawaiian
Islands and when ?'
Kinney says he thinks he knows
enough good Hawaiian to be able to
answer the query about pronunciation
He will also give the girls the other
information.

One pair of No. shoes are want
ed at the city jail Let them be black

If anyone in Honolulu has. just one
pair in reasonable repair that he can

Just hand them to the desk sergeant

there is no doubt of that-he admits
it himself. 81
