Honolulu.—The ancestors of the Hnwaiians, the Maoris, were the greatest navigators of all time, in the opinion of Dr. Peter H. Buck, himself of Maori blood, who haa come from his home in New Zea land to join the staff of the Bishop museum. Dr. Buck points out that the Hawaiians in returning the 2400 miles from Tahiti to their home land, following journeys to the south, which they apparently made for the sheer thrill of adventure, had to contend with the trade winds, which would drive them too far to the east. They would travel on until the north star wag as far above the horizon as they had been accustomed to seeing it in Hawaii, when they would swing sharply to the west and sail until they reached home. The Hawanans used a calabash cut off at the top and with four holes bored near the open inf. They filled it with water, so they could tell when it was level, then looking through a hole to the top of the farther rim they would sight at the north star. In this way they could tell with mathe matical accuracy when they had reached the latitude they must at tain before turning their outrig ger canoes to the westward. The instrument was known as the magic or sacred calabash and a few of them are still in existence, Dr. Buck says. Dr. Allan Potter, who has re-, signed as physician at the leper settlement at Kalaupapa, Molokai, will be succeeded by Dr. Ralph Mc Arthur of Seattle as chief medical man with Dr. V. D. Sexenesky as assistant. Thirty-seven youpg'" children whose parents are inmates of Kal aupapa leper settlement, recently made their annual visit ttf the "lonely island” in the company of John D. McVeigh, who tor many years was superintendent of the settlement. The children are not allowed to touch their parents, but see them through a glass partition and talk to them through sets of metal tubing. Hundreds of elderly Japanese who make their home in the is lands are planning to attehd the coronation ceremonies of the pres- j ent emperor in August, 1928. Ja panese business men in Honolulu are arranging for the excursion in co-operation with the Nippon Yu sen Kaisha steamship line . Work on the new vessel of the Inter-Island Steam Navigation company will start shortly in a San Francisco ship yard. The new vessel will cost $1,250,000 and will carry 218 cabin passengers and 100 steerage. It will be used be tween Honolulu and the island of Kauat starting next June. Unbobbed hair saved the life of Mrs. Victor S. K. Houston, wife of the Hawaiian delegate to congress, according to army surgeons who treated her fallowing a recent au tomobile accident. Mrs. Houston was hurled from her machine, striking a curbstone with the back of her head. Plenty of hair was all that saved her from a fractured skull, the officers declared. The first fruit of the chaulrpoo gra tree planted six years ago at the government nursery on King street, thts city, has just been picked. Other trees on the wind ward side of this island which were planted a little less than six years ago are expected to begin hear ing In a short time. The fruit con t.nfci* about SO densely packed seeds from which is taken the oil which has proven so valuable in the treatment of leprosy. Senator Fulton Is Improving At Home Kings Mountain Herald.
