Tho Life Saving Salvation Army
Band completed its Season" by the
Tour of Kauai,- following that ..of
Hawaii and Maui, during the last
week.
Landing Wednesday morning at
waimca tney were entertained by
Mrs. Cox during the day and gave
one of their unique sacred enter
tainmcnts in the evening, at the
Waimca hall, which was crowded
for the occasion.
During Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday they were the guests of Mr.
Alex. McBryde at Lawai, where, on
, tho huvn, anu in the sea, and on
the shore, they literally " had the
time of their lives."
Thursday evening they played
at Lihue, Friday at Elcele, and
Saturday at Koloa, mostly to crow
ed houses and enthusiastic au
diences. Sunday morning they conducted
the service at tho Lihuo Union
Church, and in the evening gave a
sacred concert at tho Tip Top.
While in Lihue they were quar
tered at the Armory, which with its
equipment of cots, blankets, etc.
was placed at their disposal by the
courtesy of Dick Oliver. While
there, as elsewhere, they took care
of their own cbmmissariat, as they
were abundantly able to do.
Mondav afternoon the children
of tho Lihue Union church gave
them a reception on .the church
lawn and inducted tho Band girls
into the mysterie's of base ball and
"Ory, ory, outs in frco," also
showed them how: to get away with
soda water and sandwiches.
Tuesday thcywere the guests of
Mrs. Byandt and. opier Waimca
ladies on an auto tour of! the Island.
They had also. been inVitcd' to spend
the day and lunch at Papalinahoa,
by Mr. and 'Mrs. .S.W.Wilcox,
but alas there was no time to get it
in. . '
They left by the Kinau moic
than pleased with the treatment
they had received, and with the
assurance that "Kauai is allright,
even though it hasn't quite all
gone Salvation Army yet 1 " - '
The Return of the Weoweo
Every Hawaiian that is tho least
of a fishermen, and every Hawaiian
is that, is very much excited just
now over the appearance of th
"weoweo" on tour coasts, and every
path thereto is lined with fishermen,
and fisher-Inaidens too, with rod
and lino, in the late afternoon wend
ing their way to the best point of
vantage for 'fish ; and later in tho
evening they come trooping back,
fairly ladpn down with tho catch;
and there is fish-feasting and rejoic
ing in many a simplo home far into
the night.
The "weoweo" is a little red fish
about three inches long, which when
broiled or fried are "ono loa,"
delicious.. They are caught with
hook and line, and though sm.all
they aro fine fishing, as they bite
greedily; you caii pull them out in
a steady string like a belt conveyor,
ofter they once get started; but
when they once take a notion to
stop, it is pan, no more!
In Ilawaiian story the weoweo is
a prophetic fish that always por
tends the death of an "alii" or
high chief; it never fails; and there
are all kinds of interested specula
tions as to who it will bo this time.
I Owing to the dearth pf aliis ip these
,7t haole days some think that it means
tho downfall of Governor Pinkham.
The Ukulele it seems after all is
Hawaiian only by adoption. It was
brought to the Islands by tho first
Portuguese immigrants from the
Azores where it is known as the
Braga. Tho name ukulelo was giv
en facetiously by Edw. Purvis, tho
brother of tho Mr. Purvis whom wo
know so well, who was the royal
chamberlain at the timo and a very
cifted wit. Ukulele means "jump-
I', ing mite." or flea.
i The Picnicof the Band girls on tho
P- ..r.m Ann f i Min in it in tivn fin I
flxpmitivaof Mrs. Lvdirate: it was all
B arranged in a few hours when it was
learned that they had a little spare
v' time. "
Out of the Ordinary
Mr. and Mrs. Hopper, Mr. and
Mrs. Clapper, and Mr. and Mrs.
Wood accomplished a strenuous andd
i , i , ,
unusual wceK-cnu ouiing last wcck
that will put them. at tho head of
ths list for some time.
Starting in the small hours of the
morning on Saturday they mado
Ilaena lalo by daylight and Hana
kapiai, over the hazardous cliff trail,
by 9 o'clock. Hero they camped
on a bit of sandy beach in the shel
ter of an overhanging cliff that pro
tected them, in imagination at
least, against any weather that there
might havo been, From this head
quarters they explored and enjoyed
the wonders and beauties of this
little known and interesting region.
They also fished ; but to little pur
pose; tho fish were on a vacation
too.
They returned early Monday
morning very much impressed with
the charm of tho region but also
with the conviction that one ought
to give it more timo after going so
far.
The Ball Games
The second series of the Baseball
season started off Sunday afternoon
with two games, ono being between
the Lihues and MeBrydes, at Ele
slc, and tho other tho Makawelii
and Makees, at Makaweli. There
were good crowds at both places,
and the best of weather favored the
contests.
The Lihues, crippled by the loss
of their pitcher and catcher, put
up a game fight at Eleele, but
blew up" in tho fifth and sixth
innings, letting tlicir opponents in
for six runs. Tho final score was
six to two in favor of the homers.
The game at Makaweli was sharp
ly contested throughqut, and closed
3 to 2 .in favor of the home team;
the visitors having full bases at the
time.. The "Makawelis mades all of
their runs, in a single inning'. ,
It is interesting that' the victors
in the first games of the first series
are-losers in the first games of the
second series, indicating that some
fast baseball is m prospect.

The Civic Convention
Arrangements havo been perfect
ed by J J. Belser, chairman of the
civic convention's sub-committeo
on transportation, which will land
Kauai delegates to the convention at
Honolulu on the morning of Satur
day tho fifteen of September, which
is Regatta Day. and take them
homo Tuesday night, after the final
banquet at tho Moatia hotel.
Just when tho Tuesday night
boat will sail deponds on how good
a representation Kauai sends to the
convention. The Inter-Island Steam
Navigation company, while willing
to do everything in its power to
oblige and assist the convention,
does not feel it ought to inconveni
ence a majority of its Tuesday night
passongers for the pleasure of the
minority.
' But if Kauai sends the delegation
expected by the central committee,
the shoe will be on the other foot.
Then tho delegates will be in the
majority and tho boat will be heldl
until 11 o'clock. Raymond C.
Brown, chairman of tho central
committee, says he expects Kauai
to send forty. One estimate of
seventy-five lias reached him, but
he. wants to be on tho safe side.
Whichever proves to be the cor
rect figure, it is certain that this
years convention will- be the best
attended the Islands have- ever
known. Maui and Hilo both are
counted on to send forty delegates
each, while from Kohala and Kona
on' the Big Island a dozen more are
expected. From Honolulu the re
presentation will be ninety.
Provision will be mado this year
for a limited number of members at
large to cover some persons who,
for one reason or another are not
members of tho constituent organi
zations and who arc yet interested
in Civic Convention matters Such
persona can receive the necessarT
credentials by communicating with
Raymond C. Brown, Secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, Hono
plu.
Something We Need
Some of the teachers returning
from the coast tell with interest of
the School Survey which has been
mado recently- in San Francisco,
11 Ml 1 1 1
which win unaountccuy icau to a
more or less thorough rcconstruc
tion of the schools of that city.'
The survey, .which extended over
several months, dealt not only with
the actual teaching, but with the
course of study, tho equipment of
the teachers and tho methods em
ployed, finding, we understand.much
to criticiso in each department.
The survey was so unostentatious
ly conducted that very many of
the teachers involved didn't oven
know that it was going on. Never
theless it is reported to be a most
thorough and exhaustive mvestiga-
tidn. Such an investigation, im
partial, thorough, and conclusive
in its findings should bo conducted
on these- Islands, that we may have
some intelligent knowledge of where
wo stand.
To Get Films of Kauai
Mr. O. C. Gilmoro of the Prismic
Film Co. of New York has been on
Hawaii and Oahu making films of

THE NEW HIGH
L
Mr. Wm. McClusky, tho new
principal of the Lihuo High and
Grammar School, arrived. last Wed
nesday with his family, and are at
present the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
S. W. Wilcox.
Mr. McClusky is a man of excel
lent equipment for tho position; in
ability, education and winning per
sonality, and of much experience
as an educator both aboard and on
these Islands. He was recently
Supervising Principal for the Island
of Maui, and before that was prin
cipal of various large schools in the
Territory.
Appointed to the position of
Statistician of tho Board of Educa
tion, he pcrferred to remain in the
more direct educational work, so ho
effected an exchange with Mr.
Avery that ho might come here.
Ho eivcs every assurance of suc-
cess'in hisdliosen work; wo welcome
him to it, and to a position of in
fluence and usefulness in the com
munity; in all of which he will bo
materially assisted by a gracious and
attractive wife.
A Scientists Conclusions
Dr. Campbell whose visit to Kau
ai wo chronicled a few weeks ago,
has completed his investications
here for the present, and has found
what he considers pretty conclusive
evidence of the land connection of
these Islands with the East Indian
Islands and tho Malay Peninsula.
His study has been devoted to
the liverwort mosses, which show
many forms almost identical witli
those of Java especially, which
would seem to indicate a continuous-land
connection at ono time,
ages ago. This indication is con
firmed by a striking similarity of
some notable plants of the higher
orders, for example, the kukui,
the puhala, the ie-ic, etc. These
are common throughout tho Pacific,
a distribution that would seem to
involvo lines of land travel for their
dissemination.
Dr Campbell will devote somo
considerable time to the careful
study of his data before formally
publishing his results.
Manufacture Of Liquor
The manufacture of distilled
liquor will cease ncxte Saturday,
September 8. After that date it
will be unlawful to distill any grain,
feed or fruit for tho purposo of

however, may be commandeered by
the President if ho so elects.

there is no grinding, the Mauna
Loa will mako hut ono trip a week.
She will sail as usual for Honolulu

When tho bridal party loft for
Hanalei after the ceremony the oth
er day, it was discovered that tho
back of the car was decorated with
a big poster "Just Married" in
letters largo enough to be road two
or tliree blocks away; and a goodly
array of old shoes that had done
much servico along the Homestead
roads. They immediately mado a
strenuous effort to remove them
but were prevented by their friends,
and set out anyway, on their jour
ney with these things very much in
evidence.
The Band Girls were conveyed to
tho church lawn Monday afternoon
in autos belonging to Mrs. Hogg,
Mrs. Wedomeyer, Judge Dickey and
others, who found tho girls very
appreciative of their kindness. There
were 45 children on the lawn and
some dozen Lihue mothers and
friends. They made lots of noise
at least the children did.
