world is too small for you;
that every one is "agin' you
and that you would like to
take a canoe and paddle your
self to some other planet, it's
probable your stomach is not

Mr.. EDITOR: The interview
with Mr.. Vivas published by you
yesterday is so misleading on
several points, that we cannot help
asking you space for few re-
marks:
Your headlines say, that "Vivas
tells just what the Portuguese
want" But on reading on, what
we find him telling is that they
want him, to represent them in the
Council. This sounds badly.
Would it not be wise to seek in
formation from some source outside
of himself and his two military
colleagues?
What we wish to speak of, how
ever, is the document to which you
refer as ''an ambiguous petition"
This document, a memorial to the
government, was got up and cir
culated by us and has been signed
by most of the better class of our
countrymen. It is by no means a
petition for the appointment of a
Portuguese to the Council, none of
its signatures are fishing for such a
position. They have been quite
satisfied to let matters be as they
were. But when it was learned
that certain parties were agitating
for such representation, we felt it
our duty TO sound a note of caution,
and your issue of yesterday proves
that we were no wise premature.
The Portuguese colony has
enough On its shoulders. All we
ask is, if we are to have a repre-
sentative in the Council, let him
be an honest man. We do not
want to be saddled with a schemer
as our representative in the Execu-
tive Council.
This was the object of the meet
ing called by P. A. Dias and NJ. A.
Gonsalves yesterday, and is the key
note of the memorial to the Gov
eminent.
We suggest no name, and there
was no BLANK, as Mr.. Vivas char
acteristically asserts.
We agree with Mr.. Vivas entirely
as to the sentiments of the Portu-
guese On annexation. We are all
there but this is different affair
altogether.
We are annexationists, and will
be whether we are represented or
not but if we are, we must have o
man of good character and a little
common sense-brilliant talents
are uncalled for.

The mountain taro is also of irier
and mealier nature when cooked than
the Aquatic varieties.
When the crop is ripe the roots are
pulled up by the hand, the huliS are cut
of and replaRted for fresh crop. The
whole process OF cultiVating kalo is

for food. The process is performed
by the nativeS) by means OF Steaming
in the common PolyneSian under
ground oven. The oven time or unlul
is a hole dug in the ground about 1
feet wide with a depth of say 8 feet.
y number OF stones averaging about
the size of mans fist, are spread
over the bottom of the pit, the
larger sized ones being ranged round
the sides, 50 as TO prevent the
earth falling in. \ quantity of dried
leaves and bruShwood is then placed
above these stones and on the top
again of the tirewood is piled another
lot of stones. The firewood is lit and
after the stones at top and bottom are
thoroughly heated the stones at the
top are raked OFT, as also the unburnt
emberS, ashes, etc. This is done with
stick called utuunlW, and the act of
poking out the red-hot stones out of
the ashes is called uiu. The kalo is
now wrapped up in banana leaves or
leaves of the hOnohORO (opliSmenuS
compoSitusl, and placed in the pit on
the top OF the hot stones. Above the
taro is spread covering of leaves,
grass, etc. {k0makamGk0) and finally
on top of all is laid thick covering of
earth, old mats, etc. (kGHiceteel.
Water is then poured on the top (hdi-

great quantity of steam is generated,
which in the space of from half an
hour TO one hour, according TO the
quantity of food in the pit, thoroughly
cooks the contents of the oven, whe-
