Some time ago this paper mentioned a plan which had been proposed in or der to relieve Fort street of some of its traffic. It was suggested that a cut be made through the premises oc cupied by the Arlington Hotel, then through the lumber yard of Lewers & Cooke, th(nce to Queen. It would take comparatively little trouble to com plete it from that point to the water front. As Union street starts at Ho tel street, just opposite the Arlington entrance, this plan, if carried out. would afford a continuous thorough fare connecting the waterfront with all parts of the city. "The idea is most certainly a good one," said Minister King yesterday, when the subject was brought to his attention. "On account of Fort street being as narrow as it is something will have to be done in the near future to relieve it of a portion of its traffic. The idea suggested would accomplish the end sought for. It will probably be a long time, however, befyre that could be done, as a special appropria tion by the legislature would be nec essary. The traffic of all the streets has largely increased lately, but this is especially true of Fort street, which is the great business artery of the city. There is no easier way for a Kamaaina to realize Honolulu's growth than to walk nown Fort street on a pleasant afternoon and compare its present ani mated r-.ppearanee with that of a few years past. AWESOME TREES. We made a side trip to the big trees of the Mariposa group, which are about one hour's ride from the '"hotel, says ia correspondent. If the smallest of these trees could be planted any where in Pennsylvania the railroads would run excursion trains to it and make money. The trees dn this grove are so large that it takes a good Avhile to fully appreciate the facts about the size of the biggest of them. The 'Grizzly Giant" is 34 feet through at the base and over 300 feet high. This tree would overtop the spires on the Pittsburg Cathedral by about 100 feet. The trunk of this tree is 100 feet clear to the first limb, which is 20 feet in circumference. Many other trees here r.re nearly as large as this one, and there are 400 in the grove. Through it several tunnels have been cut, and a f 01111 orse stage can go through thes tunnels on the run and never graze a hub. You get an ap proach to an adequate idea of their size by walking off a hundred yards or so While the stage is standing at the foot of a tree and glancing from top to bottom, keeping the stage in mind as a means of comparison. The stage and horses look like the little tin out fit that Santa Claus brought you when you were a good little boy. trpps uarfi.no longer to be called the largest in .the world, how ever. A species of eucalyptus has been found in Australia as large or larger. Emerson warns us against the use of the superlative, but when you are in this region of the globe vou can't get along without a liberal use of it. He 'himself says of Yosemite "It is the only spot I have ever found tVinf initio im to the brag." And as I stood in the big tree grve I remem bered that some one called Emerson himself "the Sequoia of the human race." Pittsburg Dispatch. STEVENSON AND THE BEGGAR. n American who visited the Stev ensons at Samoa relates that the Sa- moans have a practice of begging. They boldlv ask for whatever they may covet wherever it may be found. The novelist became tired of this practice, and therefore said one day to a Sa moan friend who had acquired from him a necktie, handkerchief and some other trinket, "Is there anything else vou want?" The Samoan made a hasty survey of the 'room. "There is the piano." suggested Mr. Stevenson, ironically. "Yes," replied the native, "I know, but," he added apologetically, "I don' know how toplay it." Philadelphia Saturday Press. The operation in the British nava maneuvers which began July 3, were to decide how best to protect grain vessels from American attacks. The plan of the maneuvers began with two vessels in charge of a cruiser crossing the Atlantic. One squadron made an effort to capture the vessels, and an other atempted to defeat the plan The first squadron brought the vessels safely to England. Each squadron was equipped as in actual war.
