jj' Promotionisf
Visits
Sidney P. Jordan, of the Hawai
ian Promotion Committco staff, was
a visitor to Maui last week. He
came up on a Hying trip and, be
fore leaving for Honolulu, was"
shown over a good deal of the isl
and. W. II. Field took the Oahu
man up Iao Valley and right to the
tableland. Mr. Jordan was delight
ed with tho scenery, and declared
that even he, though in touch with
the scenic attractions of the islands,
had no idea that there was anything
as beautiful a3 Iao Valley. The
Needle claimed much of tho visit
or's attention and he. said that the
pinnacle is a wonderful sight. Mr.
Jordan was also taken over Paia
and Puunenc way, and ho remarked
that the Maui roads are better than
most of tho streets of Honolulu.
Ho had nothing but praise for tho
roads and wished that something of
tho sort existed on Oahu.
About seven year3 ago Mr. Jordan
was on Maui for a trip, and it as
tounded him to see tho progress
that has been made at Kahului,
Wailuku and the surrounding dis
tricts since ho was hero last.
Hawaiian Lost Life Near Power
House Warm Wben
Found.
Through an unfortunate accident
onhc beach, near the power house
of the Electric Light Company, a
young Hawaiian man was drowned
at half-past eight on Thursday
morning. The unfortunate's body
was recovered about twenty minutes
after the man had disappeared from
sight and every effort was made to
revive life. A hurry call to the
police station brought the automo
bile to the beach, and tho corpse
was taken to the Malulani Hospital,
where further efforts were made to
resuscitate tho man. All was in
vain, and life was pronounced to be
extinct. An inquest was held, and
the jury returned a verdict that
Mokubalii, the Hawaiian, had met
his death through accidental drown
ing. It appears that the man and some
other men went fishing from the
beach and that Mokubalii went too
far out in the breakers, which were
running very high. Ho was seen
to loso his footing and to be over
thrown by the waves. The under
tow, evidently, then caught him
and ho disappeared from the sight
of his companions.
The alarm was turned in to the
police station and tho Sheriff and
Deputy Sheriff raced down to the
scene of tho accident. In a few
minutes the body was found, and,
as it was still warm, it was thought
that there was a chance of saving
the man's life. By the time the
hospital was reached, however, life
was extinct and nothing could be
done to save tho man.
Well Known
Men Sick
County Attorney D. II. Case is
rather seriously ill in Honolulu. Ho
was to have been operated on last
Monday but, owing to a bad cold
and weakness, tho operation could
not be performed.
Mr. Case has been advised to
take a rest of a couple of weeks be
fore submitting to tho surgeons
knife, and ho and his wife are now
living at the Athcrton homo in
Nuuanu Avenue.
R. A. Wadsworth, of this town,
is also in Honolulu for medical
treatment, and may also have to
undergo an operation. This news
was received by the last mail. All
Wailuku wishes the two well known
men a speedy recovery from their
aicknes3.

HONOLULU, Dec. o. Well, the
lightning has struck where a good
many thought it would, and still not
a few believed it would miss. Pink
ham is governor of Hawaii and
there is said to be a rattling among
tho bones of some of tho ollice
holders. In The Advertiser on Sun
day, or was it in tho Star Bulletin
on Saturday, Superintendent Cald
well is quoted as believing Governor
Pinkham is just about right. 1
think Caldwell's appointment comes
from tho governor. There may be
other active patriots who believe as
Caldwell docs. 1 talked with Mr.
Waller on Saturday, just after the
news came that the candidate had
been confirmed by a vote of twenty
six to twenty-four. He expressed
his surprise and said ho hud not,
until he read the news, believed that
Pinkham would get the plum.
McCandless went further in a re
ported interview, and spoke as
though tho action of Wilson and
the Senate was dead wrong. Mr.
Tenney thinks Wilson lost the
chance of his life in putting in a
republican instead of a democrat
and considers it, apparently, a
weakening. All eyes arc on the
wharf at this time and the scene
will shift in a few weeks to the
capitol. Of course there is a belief
that tho new oflical will storm the
camps of tho enemy, and do what
he can to get even for their retard
ing the confirmation as long as they
did.
IIO.MU 1SUYING.
The question of "Home Buying"
is still being kept before the public
by way of advertisements and com
municatioiib to the newspapers.
Smne of the latter aro really inter
esting, more so than the advertise

public to come and buy, and which

At the annual meeting of the
Maui Teachers, the following inter
esting paper was read by Mr. O. T.
Boardiuan, of Lahaina School:
The human mind is so constitut
ed that, in order to remain fixed
on one thing for any length of
time, and to make lasting impres
sions, the subject must be attract
ive, must appeal to the mind, must
be interesting. How often do we
hear people say that they do not
remember what the lecturer said or
what the story was about because
they were not interested in it. And
the experience of each of us is the
same. We listen attentively to and
remember the things that are in
teresting to us, and our attention
and the duration of the impressions
on our minds are exactly in pro
portion to our interest in the sub
ject. Now, if this is true of adults,
how much more is it true of chil
dren. How much of .the listless
air, how many of the mischievous
pranks, and to what extent the re
tardation of pupils are due to lack
of interest, I shall not attempt to
say, but we d o know that when a

fail to slimK. the difference between

called to my fjJlcntion tho other
day that shows thidrift of things.
A college class of ru.)proximatelj,
sixty students, decidedto adopt a
class pin. They sought prices and
were quoted S3. GO each. TlmXtncant
S21G.00 for the -;unch. TheVoast
price for the saivta article, both shops
to make them to order from furnishA

from the coast dealer because the
class thought it best to' put the
difTeicnec in money to other uses.
Yesterday a member of the Hut
Nalu showed mo a "gold" medal
ho won at a meet last year in the
harbor. The charm was a regula
tion A. A. U. medal, marked "10
K. ""which is supposed to indicate
the purity. Around the edge of this
ten karat gold medal the wash was
wearing off, showing a silver base,
the ten karat gold being merely in
the plating that covered tho silver.

though the phrase has long gone out
of use. Now is this the custom re
garding competition medals, or is
it merely a custom heroin Honolulu

The agitation on the subject of
homo buying is interesting, and
is prolific of results not always in"
favor of the homo merchant, as one
of the communications in tho Sun
day Advertiser prove3. The mer
chants seem to think they have a
grievance that should be corrected
and the public are under tho im
pression that the merchants aro the
people to correct by way of lower
prices. But mail order houses will
exist until the sun grows cold, and
their owners will continue to make
money out of the people w.ho buy

child is deeply interested in hib
work he is alert, has no time for
pranks and wants to be at the head
of his class.
From this point of view, and
the best authorities agree that this
is the correct point of view, it
seems to me that it is of paramount
imnortance for a teacher to study
how to make the school tasks inter
esting to the children. Some
teachers think that in order to
make school work interesting it
must be made easy. In their
efforts to make the work easy they
do what the pupils should do
themselves. It is much easier for
a teacher to do the hard work her
self than to arouse the pupils' in
terest so that they will be eager to
do it.
If a teacher wishes (a interest
her pupils she must give them
something interesting in an inter
esting way. She must be interest
ed herself. If a teacher has a list
less don't-care air, the most inter
esting subject will fall on dull, list
less ears; hut if she is full of life
and vim, the children will be wide
awake and eager listeners. As the

There is an amateur wireless
station somewhere near Paia, and
the other day the operator caused
much excitement when he ' caught
what he thought was the "S. O.
S." signal of distress from the oil
trAiker Santa Maria. The vessel
was some hours out from Kahului,
on her way to Hilo, when the ama
teur wireless man began to cut in
and listen to a message.
The amateur became excited and
,raug up Kahului, and gave out the
information that the Santa Maria
was in trouble of some sort. That
teleplibme message stirred things
up a lotuid the agents at Kahului
began to sbrrt something in the
way of rescuework.
In the uieantiJ.ue the professional
wireless station at Lahaina
x Jviuniuia was
gotten into touch wituJjy telephone,
and Operator Ralston was asked to
call the Santa Maria andNsee what
was wrong. Ralston soon got the
steamer and was informed that, all
was well on bnhrd. nml tlmt the
business ones that had nothing to
do with any pilikia. It then dawn
ed on the Maui people that the
amateur wireless operator had fail
ed to read correctly some message
sent out by the Santa Maria
operator, and that he had fancied
that he heard the "S. 0. S." call
which is so dreaded by all operators.

When the county supervisors
met this week in special session,
they did nothing much except pass
bills for payment "-and order the
issuance of salary warrants. There
was some difficulty in gettfng a quo
rum, as Druiniuoiid and Meyer did
not put in an appearance. However,
Supervisors Ilenning, Kalaina and
Lake got together on Wednesday,
and transacted what business there
was to be done.
It was decided to instruct the
county clerk to write to Mrs. Fos
ter and inform her that the position
of District Nuise at Makawao is to
be abolished on December 31 .
The regular meeting of the
supervisors will be held on Wed
nesday next and it is said that
some important matters will be
taken up-

On Wednesday evening last the
Maui Loan Fund Commission held a
meeting and talked over the Keokea
reservoir matter. Contractor Howell
was in attendaance and stated that
he could, in sixty days, finish the
job of making the reservoir water
tight. There has been some small
trouble about the floor, but a new
reinforced cement bottom is to be
put in.
The commissioners also took up
some other matters which were dis
posed of quickly. Messrs Pogue,
Kalatna and P. Cockett were at the
meeting, but R. A. Wadsworth,
who is at present in Honolulu,
could not attend.
Some more inipartant work will
be undertaken as soon as funds are
available, which should be before
the end of the year.

All-Maui Team Loans Battery and
Is Then Defeated
4 to 3.
There was a great surprise wrought
on the Wailuku diamond last Sun
day, when tho "Next Best" bunch
of ball tossors took the scalp of the
All-Maui team, to the tunc of 4 to
3. That looks bad but, when it is
explained that the All Maui boys
loaned their battery to the "Rest",
the defeat of tho representative
team is explained.
It was a great game and tho big
crowd of rooters that attended had
the time of their lives. Tho score,
after eleven innings of fight, tells
the story pretty well. It was a
game that kept the fans on their
toes all the time, and one that every
fan on Maui should have seen.
The interest taken in baseball on
Maui is the admiration of all visitors
to this island. The reason, in many
people's opinion, is because the
teams that make up the league, are
from different districts and, conse
quently, each has it's own fol
lowing. That is a good stunt,
and one that is not possible where
several teams are formed from the
sahie to"-n or village.

the All-Maui team, was on tho

Injured
Hypnotist Barnett, who has been
showing on Maui for some time
past, had a narrow escape the
other night when he was slightly
wounded on the top of the head by
being hit by the missle that was
fired from a rifle on the stage. The
wound was a slight one, but could
easily have been very dangerous,
if a little lower.
Barnett was going through his
stunt of allowing expert riflemen
to fire at him. His stunt was to
catch the bullets in his teeth. The
act had been given several times in
Wailuku by Barnett, and there
never had been any trouble. Oa
this occasion, however, the hypno
tist was seen to flinch after the shot
was fired. An examination show
ed that he had been hit on the top
of the head.
The narrow escape from serious
injury has not scared Barnett, and
he is traveling all over Maui, doing
the same stunt. He shows at La
haina next week and is proceeding
to liana later on.
The new fixtures for the First
National Bank of Wailuku, have
arrived and are now installed. The
effect is splendid and the bank
looks like a metropolitan one. The
tellers cages and the counters are
models, and many favorable com
ments have been passed on the
improved appearance of the bank
interior.
