Not Snow, Only
Cloud Blanket
On Konahuahui
Persons who glanced at the Koolau
mountains yesterday evening about
t o'clock in the vicinity of Konahua-
nui and .Mount Olympus were given a
district surprise, the upper slopes on
flirt sight- appearing to be covered
with Know.
Freakish 'wind currents were-evl
dently the cause of the phenomenon,
by spreading an alniobt perfectly
white cloud blanket close to the hills.
The cloud's comparative thinness and
the manner in which it dipjved down
into the valleys and spread upward
over the hillsides made the il his ion all
the more perfect. It required a sec-
end glance to determine the true na
ture of the effect-
The blanket spread over the moun
tain tops for perhaps 10 minutes, fin
ally lifting and rolling back in cloud
foiu. A vivid electric storm played
across the bead of Manba valley at
the time and until considerably later
in the evening. r

ALLEGED DYNAMITER IS
FACING SUSPICION OF
BEING BURGLAR, TOO
While still in custody ; awaiting
trial on a charge of attempting to
commit murder by dynamiting a house
on Lillha street, O. M. Humphrey has
been arrested again on suspicion of
stealing a solid gold watch and chain
from a Japanese place on Liliha street
before the explosion.
In checking up the purchases and
securities of the local pawn shops,
Capt. McDuffie of the detectives dis
covered the beautiful timepiece which
had been stolen. A pawn ticket for
the same watch was discovered on O.
M. Humphrey's person. He says he
found the ticket in Kakaako.
The fact that Humphrey lived near
the Japanese place which was burglar
ized and that he holds the pawn ticket
for the watch makes McDuffie believe
that he has the right man; Humphrey
denies the robbery, saying that tic had
often intended to take the pawn tick
et he found to the shop to see what
he could get with it and how much
money he would need. . . ' ; ?

"Nowhere else in the world will the
tourist view such grandeur as is seen
in a drive around the island," said
W. E. Hardy of Nebraska1 in a talk
before the members of the Rotary
Club at the weekly luncheon today.
"Not even the Riviera, famous in song
and story, can. equal that of the drive
around, the island." v
Hardy completed bis statement by
laying that the roads around Oahu
were practically impassible. Buying
a second-hand car, he had made the
tour with his wife and family but.
although his wife wanted to revisit
the scenes in the drive, he felt that
the conditions of the road were such
that he did not want to take - any
chances. ' V '. ':'.. ;": ,:
Hardy, who is a furniture man and
a booster, suggested that the mer
chants of Honolulu should do some
thing to remedy the conditions. He
said that it was nothing more or less
than a sound business proposition, and
good roads would bring much to the
people of Honolulu and should be
looked at as & real. investment
