Wierien HG. # ed eee + Nev Ht : 2 5 ’ ada City D a A NT A SRR. RN RENN“ ‘i e LY VOL. LXVI--NO. 10319 NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1894, enone Established Sept. 6, 1860, by N. P. Brown & Co, visemes) PEARL HARBOR, Protected by Sharks and Turtles and Likely, to Be the Pacifie’s Gibraltar, No finer trip ont of Honolulu can be made than to Pearl City by water. The route is just outside the surf line. A light boat with a small load may go inside the breakers: So soon as the bout is fairly’ lieaded for Barber’s point the sport begins. The water is alive with monster turtles and big sharks, You may shoot the former or hook the latter. Every time the craft gets into the breakers interest in the trip is heightened to the point that men who like te adventure glory in. Loss of control of the boat means a ducking, if nothing more, Mullet flop ont of the water in the old Kalihi fishing grounds, and when well into Pearl harbor you pass the famous shark trap and. more mullet presérves. Ducks’ fly overhead, and a short distance back from the shore line there are wild turkeys, pheasants and occasionally apig. Ford’s island is viewed with interest, When Pear! harbor is an accomplished fact, with masked batteries at its entrance, the island will have behind its fortifications the modern mid-Pacific station of the United States. As an ancient salt plant is passed and the abandoned shark rending kettles noted, the great Ewa plantation, with its large mill and wite canefields, melt into the . scene. Glasses are then trained upon the splendid ranches of farseeing pioneers, Each holding is a little empire. Catboats and yachts. going to Pearl river for fresh water are passed by the launch as though they were at anchor. At the landing is tied the yacht Kaiuland, of whose speed some enthusiast tells. She le is waiting to be loaded with rice from the mill with its tramway to the dock. Ricefields, — taro patches, cocoanut groves, banana orchards and truck gar-dens on the main land are cut up by Pearl river and its branches and by irrigating ditches. Natives. sit in the shade. Chinamen pass up and down the track of the Oahu Railway and Land company, newly ballasted. Parties are bathing, lounging at pretty Remond grove, with its green carpets and electric plant, at the depot, store or ranchhouse, A birdseye view of Pearl City and its surroundings is a treat. It is best had from‘an elevation in the future metropolis itself. Maukai there glints and shimmers on the placid surface of Pearl harbor, deep, woellsheltered and with room enough for every warship afloat. Past its throat rolls the grand Pacific, the friendly oceah, pleasant in itself as it is in dreams of conquest. On the Ewa side of the observatory the ‘‘distant hills of Waianae,’’ miniature mountains, have’ the inviting tinge of ‘distance. Barber’s point is low. -Tho lookont can sweep the sea for miles beyond the peninsula ‘and announce the approach. of any vessel. On the Waikiki side Honolulu, with its trees and spires, its smokestacks and masts, seems very close. Rugged Diamond head, which grows upon every beholder, has at 14 miles a better defined shape and. sharper outline than it affords with a closer view. Again the sentinel may command the sea for miles “upon miles. The background of-all this is.a range of hills from which a watcher can scan almost the entire island. It is all a magnificent panorama that can be taken in at a glance. t Pearl City is quite alittle place. ‘It is laid off in wide avenués and large lots. There are stores, residences and a couple of small hotels, In the valleys back are the pineapple ranches, every one a success. The waterworks of the railroad company are prominent, and the courthouse tells of the domain of the law. The location for a city is admirable, — Hawaiian Star. Cleopatra’s Pearl, ; Readers will easily call to mind the story which is told of Cleopatra, to illustrate her luxurious habits of living, that she dissolved in her wine a precious pearl. No one seems yet to have questioned what must have m the effect upon the drink, but Mr. Lewes questions quite .pointedly the possibility of such solution. We are very sheep in our gregariousness of error. When one bdld or stupid mutton takes a leap, all leap after him. It is rare to find men doubting facts, still rarer to find them doubting whether the facts be correctly co-ordinated. Our books are crowded with unexamined statements, which we never think of examining. : Do we not all believe -that the magnificent Cleopatra, regardless of expense, dissolved in Her wine cup a pearl of great price as if it had been a lump of sugar? Is not the ‘‘fact’’ familiar toevery one? Yet, if you test it, you will find the fact to be that pearls are not soluble in wine. The most powerful vinegar attacks them but very slowly and never entirely dissolves them, for the organic matter remains behind in the shape of a spongy mass larger than the original pearl. —Youth’s Companion. Shocking Bigotry. The Rev. Dr. Gunsaulus tells a story of two New: England old ladies who were overheard in conversation to the following effect: ‘ “Hey you met that Miss Perkins et?’ : f ‘*Yes; I was interduced to her yesterday.”’ : “To what sect does she belong?’ . “‘To the Universalist sect, I believe. “To the Universalist sect? An what is their belief?’’ “They believe that all human souls svill eventually, by the grace of God, be redeemed. ”’ “Oh, they do, do they? What bigotry !’’—Chicago Record. Hubby’s Appreciation, “ She—Now, dear, I’ve seen to whole dinner myself. Is everything just as you like it? And, dear, did you get the theater tickets? : He—The dinner is simply perfect, and toshow you how I te it SPRING Come. Early and Don’t Get. Left. by the Irresistible Power of Low Prices.
