SHARK NEARLY BITES MANS ARM OFF WHILE
 IN AN AUTOMOBILE
(48sociate- Pressl

HONOLULU, T. H., Sept. 12.-Hon- olulu has probably the only man who was ever bitten by a shark in an au- tomobile. If the sentence appears confused, it is nevertheless correct, for both the man and the shark were in the automobile at the time.
 Carl Nakuina, all employee of a To- cal poi factory. went to Nanakuli on the shores of this island, last Sunday, to fish. He had bigger luck than he anticipated, for he hooked a twelve foot shark
 After a long struggle Nakuina got the monster near enough to the shore to be able to send a bullet into it's head. The shark turned belly-up, ap- parently perfectly dead shark.
 Nakuina and two companions pro ceeded to load the shark into an au- tomobile, with the intention of bring ing it to Honolulu as proof of their piscatorial prowess. The two others stood on the ground and showed the shark head first into the tonneau, while Nakuina, in the machine pulled.
 Just as the animal was nearly into the machine, it opened it's huge jaws and snapped them shut again-with Nakuina's arm between. The arm was badly lacerated, the flesh being partly stripped from the bone. Ma kuina was rushed to the city and his wounds were dressed at the emergen- cv hospital.

AND MRS. WILSON

It was on the 21st of March, old style in 1917, that Pocahontas, lovli- est and most celebrated of all Indian women, died in England, on the eve of her projected return to her native land.
 The climate of England did not agree with Pocahontas, and she was already in a state of decline when she proceeded to Gravesend with her hus- band, John Rolfe, and her infant son, Thomas, purposing to take passage on a ship bound for America. She had no sooner reached Gravesend than she was stricken down with smallpox to which she soon succumbed.
 Thomas Rolfe, the son of Pocahon- tas had daughter named Jane, who, in 1875 married Robert Boiling, young Englishman who had settled in Virginia Jane had one son, and he
 in turn was the parent of one son and five daughters. This sons great-great grand son was William Holcomb Boll- ing. the father of Mrs. Woodrow Will son.-New York.
