pie who have witnessed the ceremony
have been unable, even' by the keenest
observation and closest study, to dis
cover what.
' On the island' of Maritlus the flre
walklng ceremony Is a, part of the an
nua festival, and is performed every
yearrFire-walklrfg" has heen ' referred.
to by writers on the subject as "The
Maritlus Miracle," and it is a matter
of record that at one time the gover
nor of the FIJI Islands, hearing that
some of his guests were Incredulous,
caused the ceremony to be performed
for the vice-regal party, before about
five hundred native spectators.
The Polynesian Society have given
much attention to the question recent
ly in Its quarterly journals, and a late
number contains as Interesting arti
cle on the subject written by Miss
Teuira Henry, of Kukul street, this
city. Miss Henry was herself born In
Tahiti and Jived there a number of
years, and her article aroused much
comment from able writers and people
who had been eye-witnesses of the
reremonv. Miss Henry gives a full
account of the performance, with r
translation of the Incantations accom
panying the feat According to her
account the fire-walking is a ceremony
that goes with the feast of ti-root, per
formed when the huge oven is made
ready for the baking of the feast
In an excavation some thirty fee
across, both ways, logs and sticks are
piled, and the stone3 are placed on top,
The logs are then set nre unaerneam
and within a period of twenty-iou
hours have burned low, leaving the
stones at white heat, ready for the
baking of the 41-root feast' It Is then
that the sorcerer calls upon his spirits,
summoning them with his ti-leaf
wand, and calling upon them in the
chant of incantation:
"0, spirits who heated the oven! Let
it die out! Oh. dark earth-worms; Oh,
light earth-worms! FresWater and
salt water, heat of the oven, and red
ness of the oven, hold up the footsteps
of the walkers, and fan tbe heat of the
bed; Oh. cold beings! Let us lie in the
midst of the oven! Oh, Great Woman-
who-sets-flre-to-the-skles! Hold the
fan, and let us go Into the oven for a
little while!"
Still chanting, the leader steps into
tbe oven and walks over the stones,
followed by the people who are to par-
take of the feast, waving the wana,
and circling about over . the stones,
without burn or pain.
The "Great-Woman-who-sets-fire-to-
the-skles" Is the leading spirit of the
fire-walkers, and to her is attributed
the possession of the dread lightning
and thunderbolt.
MIsa Henry does not attempt to ex-
olain the miraculous performance, but
leaves the solution or the surprising
feat tn wlentltsta. Her statement Is
merely the statement of an eye-wu
ness.
A Mr. Hastwell. in a San Francisco
pamphlet, gives the following account
"The natives of Kaiatea nave some
nerformancea so entirely out or the
ordinary course of events as to instl
tute inquiry as to proper solution, un
the 20th of September. 1885, I witness
ed the wonderful, and to me Inexplica

the "Fiery Furnace." The furnace
that I saw was an excavation of three
or four feet in the ground, of circular
form, sloping upward, and about thirty
feet across. The excavation was nnea
with logs and wood, and then covered
with large stones. A fire was built
underneath and kept burning for about
a day. When I witnessed it, on the
second day, the flames were pourln

The natives fishing near the shore
Are friends of yore. '

Hawaii nei.
Thy song and lei
Of native art
Give peace in nart '
To aching heart.
Thy mountains high.
Thy changeful sky.
Thy soothing seas,
Thy gentle breeze,
All rest and please. -
Hope whispers low
Where breezes blow.
Faith, steadfast, calm,
'Neath royal palm.
Pours forh her balm.
Love circles round
Thy lava bound.
