WHIRLWIND AT NOON
IN FRONT OF PALACE
CAUSE OF EXCITEMENT

Not less than a hundred people on
their way to lunch gathered on King
street during the noon hour today to
watch the antics of a gigantic whirl-
wind that had developed on the dusty
pavement of Palace Square and which
extended high into the heavens. ~
Old Hawaiians on their way home
from Kawaiahao church where the
body Of Queen Liliuokalani is resting,
paused to watch the unusual sight
with words of apprehension. The
dusty spiral, Is or 90 feet in diameter
at the base, passed down King street
toward the Judiciary building, circled
the statue of King kamehameha, and
then taking a different course passed
up the roadway toward the capitol
building, gradually losing force until
it passed from sight.

cut slip automatically when caught up on
the bayonet. A hole through the block in
line with the rifle barrel comes out at the
bottom of this recess, and compels the bull
let to pass through the wires. Several
wires can be cut by one bullet, which, in
fact, is capable of severing much thicker
wire than could be used in actual warfare.
The device has no detrimental effect upon
the aiming of the rife for ordinary use,
and similar appliances can be attached to
pistols and revolvers.

w yar Is Villany Raised
w To the nth Power

"War is on precisely the same ethical and
intellectual level as perfdy and violence in
private life. The only ethical and intellectual
difference is that war is the sum of all
villanies.' 1t is worse, for in it villany is
vaised TO the nth power.
Strange as it may seem, there are millions
who do not think that war is 'ipsa nstura'
wrong. Historically it has been the bust
ness Of gentlemen Kings were glorious in
proportion as they conquered And to-day
men verify believe that war is a normal and
proper method Of international competition,
that it is rot only inevitable but right for
the strong nation to conquer the weaker ma
ton. and so to extend its dominion. Not only
the Hohenzollerns and the Junkers, but mill
ions of the common people of Germany be
lieve IT, And there is grave danger that
Americans will believe it, that when the blood
Of our sons begins TO be split we shall be
given over TO the spirit of national bgotry
and hate and the lust Of conquest, and that,
if we do conquer, we may become drunk with
the delrum of Imperialism.
There was a time when men as moral as
Abraham believed in polygamy, slavery and
nfanticide. Polygamy and slavery were
quite as thoroughly intrenched in human
nature as war. But common sense now con-
dennis them; it is time for US to have COM
mon sense condemning war. 1t is no more a
justfable form of competition than for rival
storekeepers to rob and murder each other or
for rival candidates for political Office to
eliminate each other by lurking in the dark
with daggers and shotguns.

"The villagers gather in the schoolroom on

their simple religious services are held in
