OLD TIMES IN HAWAII.
Tho Absolute Power of the King and
the Peoples Fear of the Priests.

Tho Absolute Power Of the King and
the Peoples Fear of the Priests.
Reverence for royalty was one of
the most marked characteristics of
the ancient religion of the Hawaii
ans. 1t was formerly crime pun
ishable with death to pass through
the kings shadow or sit higher than
his head. His person was sacred
and protected by strict system of
taboo. In the royal palace the taboo
stick, with which the king an
nounced his accommodations, is
exhibited 1t is a wand with q
carved stone cap. If this stick was
lowered ON the approach of court
ier he was compelled to withdraw
Immediately and was recognized as
being in disgrace.
The kings will was absolute; but
the majority of the Hawaiian mon
archs seem to have been OF a kindly
disposition, and to have made no inn
proper use of their extreme power.
1t was due to one of them that the
taboo system was abolished. This
system bore with grievous weight
upon the women. They were for
bidden the use of some of the most
common articles of diet, such as ba-
nanas and certain kinds of fish, ON
pain of death. 1t was taboo for a
woman to enter the eating house of
the men, or one of the "helaus" or
temples. Before the arrival of the
first missionaries the roigning king,
out of consideration for some of his
women, declared the taboo abolished.
The work of converting the natives
to Christianity was greatly assisted
by this voluntary remuneration of the
old heather system. The power of
the priests was broken by it, though
their influence was still strong with
the natives. The source of the awe
in which they were held is easily un-
derstood when one considers that
they were formerly invested with
the right Of choosing the victims for
the human sacrifices. Later they de-
pended largely on the "anana," or
power of praying people to death to
retain their influence.
No amount of argument can disa-
buse the native mind of belief in
this particular kind of enchantment.
1t is not the priests alone who prac-
tice it. 1t is believed that any one
can compass the destruction of an
enemy by a sufficient exercise of
will power. In fact, SO strong is the
popular conviction on the subject or
80 weak the vitality of the race, that
it is sometimes sufficient merely to
convince a man that some one has
determined to pray him to death.
An instance is related by one of
the early missionaries of man who
became thus convinced, and set the
day and hour of his own death. Mr..
Armstrong was resolved that the
man should not die. He according
ly procured a sufficient amount of
chloroform and kept him uncon-
scious until the fatal hour was past.
His astonishment on being reused
was boundless, but the bold ruse
saved his life.-Overland Monthly.
