down the throat. It is unspeakably
loathsome at first, but one soon grows first
to endure it, then to love it.
Il is eaten with the fingers and is one of
the most nourishing articles of food
known to man. The native sailors live
upon it almost entirely. One may see
them at mealtime on an inter-island
steamer seated on the forward deck around
a great pot of poi, dipping their fingers in,
withdrawing them loaded with a great
mass of the sticky gray stuff, which they
swallow with an unctuous relish that either
delights the observer beyond measure or
makes him retire and pray that the ship
may instantly go to the bottom.
There are many points of interest about
Honolulu. There are magnificent drives
everywhere out of the city. Pearl Harbor
must be visited, where the United States is
to establish a coaling station. The drive
to Waikiki is favorIte one, and the sea-
bathing there is the finest in the world
The winding bridIeway up Tantalus is a
famous trip and to climb the Punchbowl,
an immense extinct volcano. is worth
crossing the ocean. The Queens Hospital
must be visited and the very efficient
schools are well worth studying. The Ha-
walians can make a better educational
showing than any other nation in the
world. Over 50 per cent of the native
population can read and write and most of
the younger generation are proficient in
two languages-the English, as well as
their own. There is fine museum, estab-
lished with funds left for the purpose by
the late Mrs. Bishop, ''the last of the
Kamehamehas," and Iolani Palace is an
interesting reminder of the now defunct
monarchy.
The trees and shrubs of the islands will
at once attract the stranger Here grow
the majestic royal palms with their tall,
smooth white trunks straight as an arrow,
larger than mans body and of beauti-
full silvery white color. They are the only
high palms with straight trunk. The
cocoanut palms grow very crookedly and
most of the others do not have tall trunks.
The wine palm is particularly handsome
tree, as is also the mango, while the bread
fruit tree is stately monarch of majestic
proportions. On Governor Cleghorn's
place at Waikiki is a banyan tree that is
like small grove.
Money has been made very rapidly in the
islands in past years, and is bound to be
again when political peace settles down
upon the little republic. Those who have
made money have spent it freely and the
result is more beautiful homes in Honolulu
than can be seen in almost any one city of
its size in America. The city has been on
the whole wisely governed, too, and enjoys
telephone service, water rights and electric
light and power facilities that some Ameri-
can towns might envy.
OF course the real objective point of the
tourist who visits the islands is Hawaii
and the famous volcano of Kilauea. Homo
lulu is on the island of Oahu, from which
point Hilo, the chief port in HAWAII, is
several hundred miles distant. There are
