The whole emblem was made by Messrs. Wenner
q Co. OF this city, and is a beautiful piece of work.
The "Puloulou - is the emblem of protection.
In ancient times spears, from each of which
were suspended a ball of kappa, were set up to
indicate that the space thus enclosed was q refuge
to which any one guilty of q crime might fly and
be safe from unlawful punishment. Placed now
at the right of the throne, and its efigy borne on
the national coat of arms, it symbolizes the pre-
lection that the laws afford to all.
The Kahili of Pill is a very ancient embl EN- of
royalty. The one now standing on the right of
the Throne, with the Puloulou, is the same one
that the Chief PHI brought back with him upon
his recall to the Throne of Hawaii. Pill, King
Of Hawaii was of the 26th dynasty prior to the
present King. Computing p years as the aver
age length of the reign of each King, this would
6x the date of his reign at about 572 years ago,
or in the year 1911. His father, Laau, was de-
posed from his Throne, and a republic estab-
lished. 1t the expiration of two years however,
the republic collapsed, and Lasu, who had
retired to some one of the islands to the south
of this group-was sent for. His son Pill
returned in his place and assembled the Throne
again. The kahili now known as his, is made
of white feathers, and is in a good of preserva-
ton.
