pears that the police of Honolulu
are making a special effort to
- compel pedestrians in the down.
town section to observe traffic
signals.
Pedestrians In this town never have
observed the stop" and go" signs
when 1t was not convenient and safe
to do so. We are still "small-town-
minded" and cross the street when and
where we seem to think it safe to dodge
between the cars. One reason there are
fewer accidents from this cause Is that
traffic In town is slow, as downtown
traffic goes in most cities. But II the
movement OF automobiles is to be
Speeded up along the main arteries of
Honolulu as it should be to avoid con-
geStion the time is coming when peo-
pie on foot must observe the rules as
much as the cars. At present, any mo-
torist passing through town at more
than slow speed Is taking q chance
Of humping into some one.
The process of educating our public
10 rules for the pedestrian undoubtedly
will be a slow one, but 1t is nevertheless
step in the right direction. In the
long run, the pedestrian loses no time
and gains much in safety by abiding
| by the regulations.

Woman Jurors
Untrue to Tradition.
FL Concrete, Lima.-At Detroit re-
Gently the plaintiff In a suit for nom
fulf1llment OF promise Of matrimony has
been Unidentified to the fairly reason
able amount of $450,000 by the decision
of the jury that considered the case.
The most curious aspect OF the out
| come Is that the jury was composed of
| eight women and four men. Untrue to
tradition, which recites woman's I'M
kindness to woman, the feminine ma
Jority on the jury undoubtedly deter
mined the triumph of the petition for
damages lodged by the pulchritudinous
plaintiff.
"YOyO' Gains Freedom
From Jail for Mexican.
Ell Universal, Mexico City--One of
our countrymen, who has been priS-
oner in q Texas jail, Is free and IA
nous now for having invented a toy.
| This is the famous 'Yoyo" aerial top,
or spinning toy, constructed out of two
discs or spools of wood connected by
an axle This top Is capable of the most
amazing gyrations, which are controlled
or instigated by thread or string, the
ends of which are either held in the
| hands or attached to two wooden sticks
In the United States everybody Is en-
tertaining himself with this toy. Men
women and children are spinning 1t In
the parks, streets and Offices. The de-
vice is not only scientific and interest
ing, illustrating, as 1t does, all the prin-
cipleS Of the gyroscope and the dynam-
les Of rotation, but is exceedingly di-
verting as well, and great skill can be
acquired either in keeping. the discs
spinning in the air or on the string or
on the ground always returning and
never out of restraint Of the hand that
| operates 1t.
! The Mexican prisoner who invented
this trinket to while away some OF his
idle hours in jail was pardoned as the
result Of his ingenuity.
This is all We are able at present TO
narrate regarding the latest NORTH
