WAIKM SIDE OF HARBOR
Acquarium-Locatlon and Site
for
a Magnificent Recreation
Ground Park Scheme.
It is evident that this community
takes a lively interest in providing
suitable places for public recreation. It
is a matter of sanitary importance tnat
public provision should be made for
such needs of any community. It is
promoter of morality, as well as health
to 'have suitable places for simple socia
enjoyment.
The readiness with which the Legis
lature passed the acts setting aside
Aala park as a public recreation
ground, and the old Makiki baseball
grounds, at opposite extremities of the
citv. is significant of a general con-
. . .
Puonc neea.
I The drive up Tantalus and around
punchbowl, gives mountain views that
are exhilarating and invigorating, as
well as delightful. It is hoped that at
no distant day, River street will be con
tinued along the Waikahalulu stream,
from King street bridge to Kuakini
street, and so give a charming river
drive with bits of lovely riverside
scenery.
There is still another project that
opens up another possible source of re
creation, combining instruction with
enjoyment.
I It is understood that the attention of
the Cabinet has been called to the
desirability of setting aside some avail
able acreage for a sea side park. The
land is that part of the reef on the
Waikiki side of the entrance to the 'har
bor, which the Government has already
begun to enclose with a stone wall, and
to fill up with the material obtained by
dredging out the channel.
It is proposed to build a drive way
100 feet wide on the inner side of the
enclosing wall. At the entrance point,
that never can be available for
commercial purposes, on account of the
roughness of the surf, there will be an
opportunity for the public to enjoy the
cooling sea breezes at an easily acces
sible localitjr.
Along this drive way will he a border
of turf 10 feet wide, with an occasional
coco palm. "One coco makes the tro
pics, rsotmng could be more cnarming
to strangers visiting Honolulu, than to
look -on such a bit of a park, projecting
away out into the ocean, as if o ex
tend to every stranger the hospitable
greeting of "these sunny isles amid
tropic seas."
It is further proposed that the trus
tees of the Bishop Museum, who have
funds available for this- special pur
pose, shall build and equip a Marine
Biological Laboratory on this portion
of the park, and ultimately erect and
rrmintnin nn annar:um. where the life
of the various inhabitants of the coral
reefs and adjacent waters, can be seen
and studied. Few of the exhibits at the
U,,, rvmrwut r.hen at-
tracted greater attention that the glass
tanks in the United States Government
Building, showing so manj- of the fishes
of the seas and rivers amid accessories
wonderfully alike their natuarl habitat.
The marine fauna of the Islands has
never been thoroughly investigated.
and now that the Ethnological Depart
ment of the Bihsop Museum has been
so finely housed, and so thoroughly
furnished, the museum trustees may be
expected in the future devolopment of
the resources, which Hon. C. R. Bishop
has so generouslj- placed at their dis
posal, to furnish the means for stu-Jy
and observation in the zoological de
partment of scientific investigation.
The place suggested is an ideal local
ity for such an institution, and no time
would be lost in making ample provi
son for the purposes of investigations,
collections and preservation.
While a certain portion of the area
' enclosed may be set aside for museum
"buildings, there is available space,
without encroaching on what may be
needed for commercial purposes at the
east end of the harbor, that may be
laid out for suitable walks, plats, pool?,
shrubbery and drives. A colonnade
and band stand have been suggested.
Architects will have opportunity, un
der the City Improvement Circle of the
Kilohana Art League, to prepare orna
mental design posts for electric lights,
and bridges over the water ways along
side and within this sea side park. It
fact, Messrs. Ripley & Dickey have
taken such interest in this inchoate
project, as to prepare a bird's eye view
cf the park as it may be, and to plot
the grounds, or the area that may be
reserved, according to the survey pre
pared by Mr. Dodge of the Survey De
partment.
Such a project as this should appeal
of itself for warm and generous sup
port from every public spirited citizen,
or intelligence and taste. There is
much of such spirit, artistic and scien
tific as well as broad minded, in this
little community, not wholly domin
ated by the greed of getting, but with
a world wide reputation for giving lib
erally to all that concerns the wellfare
of individuals or of the general public.
So soon as possible the Advertiser
will present views of the ground plan
and bird's eye view of the assignment
of the entire 28 acres.
"ON
TO
KAIIUKU."
Roadbed Beyond
Contract for
Waialua is Let.
It is now "on to Kahuku" in earnest,
and a few more years will witness the
belting of the Island of Oahu by Mr.
Dillingham's railway.
The contract has been let to Carl
Jensen for grading from Waiarua to
Kahuku, and it is the belief that trains
will fbe running to that place by De
cember 1st of this year. Mr. Jensen is
one of the most active and capable con-
ractcrs on railway work ever in busi
ness in this country, and works quite
in harmony with the railway people.
He wrill begin work immediately on ex
tension of the road bed from Waialua
to Kahuku, establishing headquarters
for his first big gang of laborers at
Waimea. There will be some of the
heaviest and most extensive work at
this gulch.
Contractor Jensen is placing the rails
for the new road beyond Waianae. He
hopes to be around Kaena Point this
week with the steel. Then the 12 rniies
or road bed lying between the point
and Waialua will soon be negotiated.
It is more than likely that the con
struction train will whistle into Waia
lua by May 15th.
Reading Othello.
About 20 young people gathered at
the King street home of Mr. and Mrs.
B. Atherton last evening, to read
Othello writh Miss Cora McDonald,
whose lessons in literature have met
with such success in Honolulu. Parts
of the play were read for an hour and
half. Quite close attention was given
to the study of the play and the ana-
ysis of the characters and the action.
Miss McDonald led in the comment.
ler presentations evidenced the most
thorough study of the play. There
was read by Miss McDonald the short
Italian novel upon which the great
play was based. The character of Iago
came in for especial attention. The
reading will be continued on Tuesday
evening next.
Critical Stage Passed.
John Lot Kaulukou, Speaker of the
House, has been a very sick man. For
several days his friends have enter
tained the gravest apprehensions. Dr.
Burgess, the attending physician, an
nounced yesterday morning that the
critical stage of the illness had been
passed. It is now belived that Mr.
Kaulukou will be able to leave his bed
in about 10 days, but it may be three
weeks before he can resume his place

TART REPAIR!
Legislature AsM to Appropriate
$27,500 for Roads and Briflps.
THIS IS DUE TO RECENT STORM
The House Passes Amended Sake
Bill - Argued That It Would
Hurt Annexation.
SENATE.
Forty-seventh Day, April 11.
It will cost the Government just $27,
500 to repair the damages done to pub
lic roads and bridges during the recent
storm, $1S,300 for this Island and $9,
200 for Kauai. This is the amount
named in an emergency appropriation
bill, introduced in the Senate by Min
ister Damon. The Superintendent of
Public Works has made his estimates,
after a careful investigation of the
flood ravaged territories, and consulta
tions with the road boards of the vari
ous districts. Under suspension of the
rules, the bill was allowed to he intro
duced on the day of the declaration of
intention, first and second readings
were passed without printing, and the
bill sent to the Public Lands Commit
tee for consideration. This was to
hasten the appropriation of the money,
if possible, that the work of repairing
the immense damage may rroceed
without delay. Detailed plans have al
ready been prepared and were furnish
ed the committee to assist them at
their work. The reconstruction of these
roads and bridges has been temporar
ily suspended, pending the passage of
the emergency appropriation.
It was announced that President Dole
has attached his signature to a
providing for extending certain streets
in Honolulu, and a bill to encourage the
cultivation of coffee and ramie by ex
emption from taxation.
The Senate bill relating to the sub
mission of differences to the Supreme
Court passed third reading, as did also
the bill creating public recreation
grounds at Alaa and the old Makiki
baseball grounds.
The Senate substitute bill allowing
appeals from all cases in Circuit and
appellate courts and Courts in cham
bers to the Supreme Court, except in
cases of appeal to a jury, passed first
reading and went to the Printing Com
mittee. The House bill limiting the time for
recovering land to 10 years passed
first reading.
The House bill providing for the is
suance of licenses to steam laundries
passed first reading.
The plumbing bill was read by title,
and referred to the Health Committee
with Senator McCandless added.
The registry of vessels hill was set
for third reading for Tuesday.
At 10:45 o'clock the Senate ad
journed.

Third reading of Hcuso Billl 42, re
ating to the duty on sake.
Rep. Gear, as a member of the Fin
ance Committee, spoke at some length
on the injurious effect of sake on the
native Hawaiians. He had spoken to
three chemists of the city on the anay
sis referred to by Rep. Robertson when
the bill was up before and had found
that this was all right as far as it
went. Rep. Robertson had said that
the analysis showed nothing deleteri
ous in sake. The process had not been
carried far enough. The alkaloids had
not been separated and it was there
fore impossible to separate the active
principle which i3 supposed to come
from a seaweed used in the prepar
ation of sake. Undoubtedly there was
something in the liquor that had a bad
effect cn the people using it. The Jap
anese were in the habit of drinking
their sake hot. This destroyed the de
leterious effect of the liquor. Natives
were in the habit of drinking it cold.
In this state it was dangerous.
Rep. Achi asked why the previous
speaker found it necessary to expatiate
on the evils of sake. He could say the
same thing about a lot of whiskey and
gin imported into the country.
Rep. Robertson said that the Fin
ance Committe was coming to feel that
its report to indefinitelj' postpone the
bill had been rather weak. Since the
second reading the members had been
skirmishing about for arguments to
support that report. The arguments
just put forth by Rep. Gear had not
been to the support of the bill, but
rather to, if possible, break down the
arguments of the friends of the meas
ure. The liquor men of the city had
told him that a great mistake had
been made when the duty on sake was
raised to one dollar. They also ad
mitted that a reduction of fifty cents
would not reduce the sale of California
wines. Rep. Robertson then moved to
amend the bill, changing 14 to 17 per
cent of alcohol in both line.g 5 and C
so that the part should read: "That
all spirituous liquors, all stiH wines
and other beverages made from mate
rials other than grape juice when im
ported into the Hawaiian Islands shall,
if containing 0 per cent, and not more
