wife and himself above Hananiaulu
a fow weeks ago, was arraigned in
the Lihue district court last Thurs
day and committed to the grand
jury on a charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon. The wife was not

K.uii'i had a splendid view of the
eclij -e of the moon Sunday even
ing. The sky was perfectly clear.
The mi ion entered the shadow of
the earth at 7:20. The total eclipse
began at S: 30 and ended at 9:59,
the moon leaving the shadow anil
shining brightly again at 11:9.
People all over the island were out
watching the incident.
It may be of interest to know
that tlio Hawaiian Islands will have
another total eclipse of the moon
this year. It will occur on the
night of December 27, starting at
9:35 p. in., the moon clearing the
shadow at 12:57 on the morning of
the 2Sth.
There will be still another total
eclipse of the moon this year. It
will occur on July 4th., but on ac
count of that being America's In
dependence Day, will not disturb
this part of the world.
The sun-will not favor the Islands
with any unusual stunts in 1917,
although it will be partially shaded
to other parts of the world, four
times January 22, June IS, July
IS and December 13.
The eclipse was made the finer
by the fact that it was ''full moon"
night.

D. Howard Hitchcock, returning
from the Waimea canyon on Satur
day last, gave an informal exhibit
'of his preliminary sketch for the
! Kauai diorama, at the home of Mr
'and Mrs. J. M. Lydgate, which was
attended by a goodly number of
those most interested.
In spite of adverse weather con
ditions, the artist had been success-
uu in malting a very impressive
sketch about five feet by fifteen
inches, which gives an excellent
idea of the vivid coloring and the
impressive grandeur of that won
derful region.
This sketch will be carefully and
accurately enlarged for the diorama
to a finished picture, 30 by 10. feet
which will be set in the alcove,
with a prepared realistic, natural,
foreground, and then skilfully light
ed, the whole to give the effect of
the actual scene. The Kauai' view
is to be one of seven, representing
the chief attractions of the Islands,
including the Volcano, Ifaleakala,
Honolulu from Tantalus, and the
view from the Pali. They will bo
' housed in a .special building of ar
tistic design, on Bishop street, op
posite the Young Hotel. Work is
being rushed on the whole enter
prise so that it may be ready for
the Mid-Pacific Carnival.
Hitchcock has in hand two of
these dioramas, Waimea Canyon
and Haleakala, and Waldron the
others.
Kauai is to be congratulated in
having her glorious scenery set forth
by a son of the soil, who has known
and loved them intimately for
years, and who will display them
with an affectionate as well as an
experienced and skillful hand.

BURGLARY ON THE
ISLAND OF NliHAU
For the first time in forty years a
burglarly has occurred on the islond
of Niihau, the victim being John
Ronnie, manager of the interests of
Gay it Robinson. The guilty par
ties are native boys, they taking
813.50 and 818.50 respectively in
cash from Mr. Rennie's oflice.
The burglarly was committed last
August, but it was a long time be
fore the guilty parlies were appre
hended. The boys were brought to
Kauai last week and appeared before
Judge Dickey, sitting as juvenile
officer.
A problem confronted the court,
for the reason that the boy's under
ordinary circumstances, would be
less likely to go wrong again on the
peaceful and law-abiding island of
Niihau than in the reform school.
It was, therefore, decided to send
them back to Niihau on probation
and under certain restrictions
The boys broke into the ranch
office all right enough, and the
burglarly was committed in regula
tion style, save that only a little
(money was taken, 8150 in cash be
ing left behind.
