In Lucky Omens Now

ployed in the dismantling Of Grace
Methodist church, believes in black
cats, horseshoes and other omens; in

After working almost all day in the
spire Of the church. about 100 feet
above the ground, without mishap,
he went down to the sidewalk to
assist in pulling the spire down, and
when a rope with which they were
pulling broke, he fell on the pavement
and sprained his ankle.
Just my luck" says Abshire.

GUN PRACTISE
ISSTARTEDl AT
FORT De RUSSY

Big gun firing from Fort De Russy
and Fort Kruger this morning was not
atm attacking fleet, as some people
may have imagined when the husky
fellows began to boom, but the results
the men got out of the practise showed
what might be expected should an
enemy suddenly loom on the horizon
4 The fact that the firing was to be
held this morning had been kept secret
from officers and men at the batteries
and when the order to man the guns
was given it came as surprise party
TO the artillerymen. -..''
That they responded we'll is the be-
lief of persons along the waterfront
who watched the splashes. Seven shots
were fired from Battery Randolph's
14.inch guns, beginning about 9 o.
clock. Capt r. o. Edwards, 9th Co.,
C. A. c., was in command, and the ar
tillerymen are believed to have OBJ
tanned "straddle," which means three
shots each on the near and far side of
the target. The DETECTION also looked
good. T.. 49,. -.
Firing from the 12.inch mortars at
Fort Ruger commenced about 11:35
o'clock today, the target being invis-
ible to the gunners but observed by
men in the station at Diamond Head.

dent of Gould & Ash, chemists, whose

WILL NOT PLACE
GREAT NORTHERN
ON HAWAIIAN RUN
This is Belief of F. L. WaIdron
Who Thinks Big Steamer
May Be Communicated

SO much do the officials of the
Great Northern Railway and Steam
ship Co. anticipate that the steamer
Great Northern will be commandeered
as a transport by tho government
that they are making no plans for
placing her in the Honolulu service,
declared Fred l.. Waldron. the local
agent for the company. this morning.
This was in answer to the query
if it was true that the Great North
ern had been booked full for her first
voyage to Honolulu this fall. as had
been reported. There are no book.
ings for a Honolulu voyage. | do
not believe the company would
trouble TO write down the name OF Il
single person who wished to come to
Hawaii on that ship until the govern.
ment gave some assurance that she
is not to be Communicated Mr. Wal
dron adds
Due to the fact that the Great
Northern will carry about 500 passen'
gers, it is assumed by many that she
would make an ideal transport. Mr..
Waldron points out the fallacy in this
belief by explaining that while 5000
soldiers might be transported on the
Great Northern, the equipment or so
many or even half as many could
not be carried. The Great Northern
has a cargo capacity for only 1000
tons, and half of this would have to
be used to carry fuel for a return
voyage on the Atlantic under present
conditions. With such comparative,
ly small cargo space the Great North
ern will not be as valuable as the
Maui, which has space for the equip
ment of all the troops she could trans
port.
Nevertheless Mr.. Waldron makes II
plain that he does not expect the
Great Northern to be placed in the
Honolulu service this fall, because he
thinks she will be taken over by the
government.

GERMAN OUSTED
FORFRENCH IN
OAHU COLLEGE:

Because it is believed that in the
future the rising generation will have
little occasion to use the German Ian
guage, the study Of German in the
Punahou schools has been subordin-
ated to French. This may be the first
step toward the ultimate adjustment
of this course from the schools.
The study Of German in the Puma
hou preparatory school is being sub
stituted by the study Of French. No
course in German will be given to
pupils entering the seventh grade, al.
though the course will be continued
in the eighth grade this year for those
who started it the year before. The
study of German will be continued in
the academy as long as that language
is listed among college entrance re-
quirements.
The entire subject of foreign Ian
guage study will receive a thorough
investigation during the coming year
from the educational committee of the
school. Mr.. and Mrs. C. F. Schmutz.
Ter, while on their leave Of absence,
will make a special study of meth
DDS of teaching German and French
in the grades. 1T is proposed to start
the study of foreign languages in the
lower grades.
Two new teachers viii teach Ian
guages in the preparatory school this
year. Miss Helen Storms, who takes
up the new course in French in the
seventh grade is a graduate of the
T~t - IL 10 T..
Paris, and has taught French for
eight years in the Denver high
schools. Miss Clara Frazer, who will
teach German in the eighth grade is
a graduate Of the University of Cal
ifornia and has taught in the Oak
land and HOLSTER high schools.

ROUGH WEATHER
PLAYING HAVOC
With SHIPPING
Heavy Seas Compels Mauna
Kea to Transfer Maui Pas
T. .senqerS to CIaudine

3 Unable TO land her Maui passengers
10 Lahaina due TO the tremendous SURF
which was breaking over the outer
reef and about the frail little wharf,
the Mauna Kea transferred all passen-
gers destined to Valley Island points
TO the Claudine while out at sea on
last Monday night. The Claudine al
'terwards took the passengers TO Kahu-
Iui on the other side of the island,
where there is a substantial wharf.
Some indication of the weather con-
'ditions at the Maui port, where an
Inter Island boat was swamped over
q year ago and a number OF passengers
drowned, can be gained from the big
waves which have been breaking upon
the shores of the Waikiki district since
the beginning of this weef
AS the Mauna Kea failed to make
the Lahaina landing, it is asserted
that a number of Maui residents who
had intended to leave for theAcoast on
the Maui today had to postpone their
voyage until the sailing OF the Mat
sonia on September 19. as there is no
Matson boat to the coast next week.
Commenting upon the impossibility
Of the Mauna Kea to make the La
. haina landing on her last voyage. John
Guild, secretary Of Alexander & Bald.
win, said this morning that It would
cause considerable trouble TO the Maui
residents, whose correspondence to
the coast would be delayed. as well as
the intended departures Of passengers.
He suggests that he similar
weather conditions are anticipated
the ter-Island should dispatch
the Mauna Kea to Honolulu from Hilo
by the way Of Kahului. instead of La.
haina, and that wireless be sent to
the Maui people to notify them Of the
change IN course.
AS 4 am living at ,Kahala and
noticed the big waves which were
breaking on the beachs there, pre-
dicted early Monday that the landing
at Lahaina would be unsafe" he says.
He thinks much dissatisfaction
among Maui patroio of the Inter.Island
could be ayerted by the sending of a
wireless from Lahaina to the Mauna
Kea Informing her master when bad
weather prevailed at that port, so a
Kahului call could be made.
