POWER OFTHE DAY
The Research Club Hears
Talks on Electricity.
Addresses By Two Practical Men.
Railways and Telephones-Society
Business Meeting-.
Addresses were made for the Young
Men's Research Club at the home of
Rev. I). P. Birnie last evening by John
Cassidy, Superintendent of the Mutual
Telephone Company, and Stearns Buck,
Superintendent cf the Government
Electric Light Station. The general
subject was the use of electricity as
power. There were about thirty young
men present and all were very much
interested in what they heard. Much
concerning the handling of electricity
that could not have been made plain in
an3' other way was brought cut clearly
by the speakers. Mr. Cassidy explain
ed carefully the generation of the cur
rent, the differences between, or rath
er perhaps the similarity of motor and
dynamo. In illustrating certain points
concerning armature, etc., Mr. Cassidy
used a magnet and some filings. Mr
Cassidy spoke of the fine field here
for an electric street railway, calling
attention to the favorable climatic con
ditions and the absence of heavy
grades, lie told also about induction
effect on telephone lines and gave the
remedy proposed metallic circuit.
There was surprise over the showing
of the leakage or loss of power both
in the conversion of coal and the trans
mission of current. In conclusion Mr
Cassidy said that Honolulu seemed to
offer a most profitable field for an
electric railway.
Mr. Buck, who is but a few months
from the States, told of various electrio
railway systems, explained lucidly the
trolley, the storage, the underground
conduit and the third rail systems. He
thought that the particular under
ground system might be adaptable to
Hawaii. The objection to the under
ground wire or trolley was the expense
of both construction and maintenance
The storage is the ideal system, bui
is not yet perfected. It was Mr. Buck's
opinion that at least a portion of the
new line or lines for Honolulu should
have conduit transmission of power.
In speaking of the induction to tele
phone lines, Mr. Buck said that in the
cities in the States where there were
no metallic circuits for the telephones
any electrician could put his ear to
the 'phone and tell just about what
business a car was doing on the dis
turbing line. For one thing if the
buzzing stopped a considerable period
a lady was bidding a friend good-bye
before embarking. Mr. Buck added
much interest to his discourse by dia
grams on a blackboard and as well
passed about some photographs and
tracings showing portions of the equip
ment of an electric railway
A number of questions were asked
and answered, after which (Mrs. Birnie
intervened and presided, while refresh
ments were served.
The new constitution and by-laws of
the club were read, and with slight
amendments adopted. An election of
officers was then held and resulted as
follows:
President J. T. Crawley.
Vice-President Ed Towse.
Secretary and Treasurer D. H.
Chase.
These officers, with two members to
be appointed by the president, will
constitute the Executive Committee.
There was warm support of the sug
ge tion that Rev. Mr. Birnie be rekuest
ed to address the organization on some
evening before his departure for the
nited States. Mr. Birnie will choose
his own topic and may tell the young
men something of his travel and il
lustrate the account. In accordance
with the wish of Mrs. Birnie the next
meeting, which will be the last of the
season, will be a ladies' meeting. The
program has not yet been made.
The meeting of the Research Club last
evening was one of the most beneficial
and interesting since the inception of
the society. A number of those who
wrere present will continue, in one way
or another, the study of electricity, the
practical use of which was commended
less than half a century ago.

And so the news spreads and spreads
Housekeepers a.11 around are talking o
tne nne quality or goods oougnt at our
Grocery Department. As the news
spreads, so our groceries spread al
over the city, from Waikiki to Palama;
from the wharf to 'way up the vallej-
There is only one conclusion to be
drawn, and that is: that the quality o
goods must be right not only that
but the prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in the right
condition.
Everyone knows of the American
Biscuit Company7 and the class of goods
they make. The following are a few
of the many styles of crackers tha
we carry: Graham Wafer, Honey, Pop
ular, Oyster, Cheese, Noah's Ark Ani
mals (for the little ones), Pretzel-
Butter, Showflake, Milk, Wine, Water
Gluten Wafer. Ginger Cakes, Ginger
Nuts, Nic Nacs, Saloon Pilot, and Pilo

SUGAR.
This is one of the few things that
does not require much mention. Suffice
it 'to say that we have an ample supply
of Dryr Granulated, Cube, Powdered
and Confectioners'.

CANNED FRUITS.
In buying these goods you cannot
he too careful; many people have ex
perienced rather disastrous results from
buying cheap trash, put up in tin. We
can vouch for the brands we carry. In
the Cooking Fruits, wre have a full as
sortment in gallon cans. Very econo
mical when a larger amount is requir
ed. The Table Fruits have the best
known brands in the market, put up
in two and a half pound tins, and
smaller size known as the lunch tins
for campers and picnicers.
