whole place changed IN iNct. Was
past being surprised. Instead 81 the
hug" harn.iike suuctur" which had
occupied the corner stood u neat
stone house, twp-stures high, sur
rounded by 1t grass plot. The windows
"l tlc building were large, and
ligh, double door fitting into gothic
arch ut tile top was To he seen in
front.
Passing down the street We saw old
Hail Church in its former place
True it was greatly changed. Tho
roof had been changed and a new
bciliry had been hulli Perhaps
other changes had been made, hut
st!ll i! vas the same Old hUuse---at
least on the principle by which the
old hunter proved the age ofhis gun.
All along the street st6od neat lit.
dc frame houscs, surrounded with
trees and flower gardens We turned
to the left at Tia, fire. corucr, Just ~
| had done before. Here again en-
lowered cottages and flower gardens
lined the street. Soon ve came 10 4
park on our right. IL WAS a small
affair, but it was nicely fitted mp with
rustic seats, etc, and showed unnlis-
taxable evidence OF care. Going
through this park on a diagonal path
We came TO street which ran III the
same direction as the one we lett
When We entered it We had large and
substantial business houses ON each
side Of us. As We were coming near
to the river roaring sound followed
by a sharp whistle attracted my at
tentlon. Soon afterwards Il train OF
cars moved across the street ahead Of
us. When the train had passed !
looked across the river to see what
Puuco looked like, but could see no
great difference between it and the
other parts of Hilo. Business houses
lined the streets near the raiirond,
and handsome little residences We're
to he seen Oh all others. We re-
| turned from the river and turning e,
the right left all signs of business be-
hind lis as we went up the street.
Comfortable little houses and pleas
ant gardens were to he seen on all
hands. All WAS quiet. saw no
| policemen, yet the peace seemed to
be kept. On my visit to the Other
| Hilo saw no officers, but IL xeemed
| that they would have been helpless
! III snch 1t place il they had been
| there. Here they were unnecessary
| When We came tO the first cross
| street We turned Ia the lett. Going
! along this street short distance we
| came to very prominent building
| on the right. l. WAS massive stone
! structure standing i'll the middle OF a
| grassy enclosure Ut about an acre or
an acre and a half. A cement walk
led up from the street The building
| though large was Of n neat appear
ancc. Soon ! found myself approach
| ing my own room again. had seen
| town asleep. The only man whom
] had seen on the streets was Il soil
| tary watchmau At the railroad cross
! ing.
This time my guide entered the
room first. But she stopped by the
door and beckoncd to- ne to be seated
at the table. Sat down but kept
my eyes fixed on my visitor. "Who
are you" said l. land what does
all this mean? Two ghosts q beg
your pardon il am wrong come to
| my room in one evening, and show
me such sights AS no man ever saw
before in Hilo. Surely all Of this has
some meaning
You are right, said she, chat We
| are spirits, and you guess correctly
| That there /. meaning to what YOU
| have seen. We are sister spirits
! half sistrrs) Of The times But We do
! not belong to these times " arc

VI siater has shown yon the future
q which she will be the spirit il she
comes to dwell AZ Hilo, and ] have
shown yo'I my future times. II the
races and peoples coming into this
country, unite to form on" home
! genious, intelligent, happy and virtu-
Gus people, then will come To dwell
at iiilo, and the town which have
shown you will be II present reality.
But ii not, then my sister will come
with all that she has shown You.
| Now, the greatest power in drtcrmin-
ing which Of us is to animate the
future times of Hilo is the public
school, Let the schools be fostcrcd,
let only the best people obtainable be
appointed TO positions III thcm--pco-
| pie OF character and ability, let all
| appointments and promotions he
made solely in the interests OF the
schools, and let them be unstintingly
supported, and shall return to
dwell at Hilo. But let these condi-
tons be disrcgarded Or reversed, let
the schools be neglected or used for
other purposes than the education Of
children, aud diseords will grow
