Honolulu Students
TO Learn Far East

Honolulu. T. H., Dec .11.-Gov. Far
rington has requested the territorial
department Of public instruction to
prepare program for the inclusion OF
Far Eastern languages in the public
school curriculum.
My thought is to find out what will
be necessary to place oriental Ian
guagcs on practically the same basis
as European foreign languages in the
public schools on the mainland" Gov
ernor harrington said. This is what
will eventually be done. because the
people who do business on this side Of
the world have the same cause for re-
quiring a knowledge of oriental Ian
guages that the business men OF the
Atlantic have OF requiring knowl-
edge of Spanish. French or other Eu-
ropean languages"

Summarized from letter of w.
stockholders of Centra
Central Maine Power Company
has completed another year Of
satisfactory accomplishment and
adequate earnings.
The redevelopment of the Union
power plant on the Messalonskee
was completed in December
within the time limit and the cost
limit. This plant promises to be
as satisfactory as the Rice Rips
plant on the same stream and
marks the second step in the COM
plete development of the Messa-
lonskee.
Over $450,000 has been expend-
ed during the year by the Com
pany for maintenance and re-
placement. Company officials
are we'll satisfied with the con-
dition in which Company property
is maintained.
Company business increased
steadily through 1922. $500
new customers were added in
II months and a gain in the sale
of electric energy of 100000
kilowatt hours will be shown for
the year.
Gross and net earnings both
showed a gain. The gross reach
ed over three and a third million
dollars and the net $144,823.76.
The Company's present salts
factory earning power is due in
large measure to the ripening of
two projects entered into some
years ago: the development of the
Skowhegan power and the pur-
chase of the Apdroscoggin Elec-
trio Company.

space as free atoms. The substance then
simply disappears like wisp of smoke.
By means of device which have named
the Vibroplex it is possible for me to in
crease the atomic pitch of any substance

finally united to form other combinations,

gone forever. The Vibfoplex will wipe

fnarlSeeS. OnQer the rule or the most
prohigate and wicked of the Roman en-
perors, the Early Christian Fathers were
permitted to flourish unrestrained by legis-
lation. The wicked emperors were not
disturbed by the prospect of their subjects
becoming corrupted by the heretical teach
ings of these rebels against the Roman
Gods. AS long as the taxes were paid
and the wine flowed freely the wicked
emperors should worry. But under the
rule of Marcus Aurelius, a man of the
utmost integrity and highest morality,
Christian maids and Christian fathers feed
with their bodies the lions and the garden
torch. Marcus Aurelius, kind man and
loving father, did his duty as he saw it.
He saved his people from sin. Instances

THE FIGURE IN BRONZE
PART vi
By Mr.. H. W.

THE dusk of evening was swiftly fall
ing, and the cluster of large white
globes that surmounted the stately
ornamental iron posts burst suddenly into
light. Across the broad avenue, the breeze
murmured among the branches of trees in
Central Park.
"What beautiful summer evening this
is," Miss True assured herself, and then
lifting her eyes she turned her gaze slight
ly to her left as she moved slowly along.
Presently she came directly in front of the
great arched entrance to the Pasadena
Club" whose majestic marble dimensions
spread out along the walk. Fluted COL
umns, of harmoniously hued marble, sup
ported an overhanging roof. While win
dows of great size ran in tiers across its
great expanse. Here was the rendezvous
of the city's upper-class of business and
society people.
Directly over the main doorway was a
window of art glass, now beautifully
illumined from within, and Justice paused
entranced as her eyes fell upon the pic
ture. A green-carpeted woodland, pale,
soft moonlight streaming gently through
the foliage of tall, stately trees; a glimpse
of lake, upon whose mirrored waters
sat se@ssral white swan encircled by tiny,
silvery, ripping circles. Toward the left,
a CLINT of moonbeam revealed the figure
of soldier Clad in armour and helmet of
steel, surmounted by gorgeous scarlet
plume. A few feet beyond and to the
. right, appeared a page" whose flowing
cape of purple, embroidered with vine of
gold, and thrown from one shoulder, re-
vealed blouse of white and silver hilt
of sword, while gorgeous ostrich plumes
of purple and white dropped from his
broad -brimmed hat to his shoulder. 1t
was the scene of the Kings garden, from
the famous opera of "Parsifal."
"Wonderful" exclaimed Justice in rap
ture.
While she thus stood gazing at the pic
ture in glass, large blue touring car,
richly upholstered in light brown leather,
drove silently up to the curb and stopped.
A lady of perhaps thirty years of age,
and neatly attired in gown of black
georgette with black silk lace over all,
stepped out upon the walk. Jet spanges
gave touch of richness to her costume,
while hat of like materials graced her
round, pleasant, and rosy features. She
wore little jewelry; only long golden
chain looped from about her neck, and
single diamond sparkled upon her finger.
Mrs. Evangeline Densmore was not the
richest of the many ladies who often
called at the Pasadena, but she was,
nevertheless, social leader in the better
circles of society. OF proud colonial an
cestry yet very democratic; kind and
winsome of personality, she was popular
with all she met.
AS the lady approached the entrance to
the Club, she glanced toward Justice who
was still standing entranced by the mar
yelous window.
Miss True, slightly startled, turned
about. "Why-Good evening, Mrs. Dens-
more. IL beg your pardon-I was so
engrossed with that picture page 2, Col. s)
