w P Page Twelve THE PILQT—Sotilher^ Fines. North Carolina Friday. September 5, 1952 Saucers No Mystery To Hawaiians; Just 900-Year-Old ‘‘Akualele” Back Kick-Off Dinner Tliose flying saucers that were* buzzing the Sandhills a few weeks a go may 'be a big question- mark to this area and topmost of the world, but they’re no mystery to the. sages of Hawii, reports the Associated Press. The Hawaiians are a little sur prised that the U. S. is making such a hullabaloo over these ghostly objects; they’ve known about them for a thousand years and even have a name for them. They call them akualele, or “fly ing spirits.” The Sandwich Islanders will tell you that these flying spirits come in many shapes, sizes and colors—balls of fire, cones, or the modern, streamlined saucer- shaped discs. They say they’ve been watching them for years and, what’s more important, they can get along with them very nicely. A priest of Kalaipahoa, the old Hawaiian poison god, who lives on the island of Molokai, put the flying saucers on the map soon after the Polynesians first land ed here some 900 years ago, so the story goes. He chipped bits from a sacred tree, soaked them in water, roll ed them into a ball and threw the ball across the sky. The Hawaiians will tell you that the ball appear ed like a flame in the heavens. It even tuurned corners and dip ped at right angles with no change of pace, like the saucers today are supposed to be doing. And as the ball sped through the air, the priest sang a little chant to the spirit of the poison god. It went something like this; “Fly straight to your destina tion. There you will get food and drinil.” » This was strictly a line. Even the Hawaiians admit it. There was no food or water waiting where the saucer landed, only the priest’s intended victim. The famished fire god, natural ly, would have to make do with him. The trick, the Hawaiiaps say, is to know about the visitor from space beforehand. Have food and water handy, and a welcome mat upon your doorstep. The god of fire, warmed by your hospitality, will turn from a hungry foe into a mighty friend. And all your ills will disappear.
