POINTS ON SEALING.
A NOn-responsible Makes Sugges'
tiOns.
WHY the Seal Should Remain-Fami1-
iarity With Hawaiian Symbols.
The Fabulous Bird.

EDITOR OF P. g. ADVERTISER
The Miscellaneous Committee of the
Senate has spoken, and the design for
the Great Seal is to be turned topsy-
turvy. Until these reports were made
public the little Hawaiian world was
not known to contain such art crit
les as these wise solons, who now come
to the front as stars Of the first mag
Kitude prove themselves to be. Verify,
their lights have been hidden under
a bushel for so many years that the
oil must be running low.
At least portion of the burden of
the song of these men is in the unfin-
ished drawing. 1 will not argue that
il is the work of art-that may come Of
ter. Nor should the members of the
Legislature expect a finished drawing
for the sum offered. Fifty dollars
would hardly pay for wear and tear OF
brain tissue in getting up the design,
much less put it in the shape of per-
feet drawing. A design may be a
rough pencil sketch, while the engraver
would put on all the artistic touches.
The Senate Committee suggests that
Tie DdTS Tic upper lClIndAQ COIACL
be replaced by the Hawaiian Jack.
Pray, then, what would the Senators
substitute in the flag held by the god
dess of liberty? The Jack should show
distinctly in the banner she holds in
her hand. The substitution of the
Hawaiian Jack might not weaken the
design, nor would it strengthen it, even
though two Jacks would be visible.
Not one in a thousand of the people
in Hawaii at the present time know
anything about tabu sticks; so far as
the general public is concerned, they
might be shaped like a boomerang,
the effect upon the mind would be the
same, and would be as pleasing to the
eye as the best authenticated specimen
in the Bishop Museum. The specifica-
tions furnished by the designer set
forth the detail of the seal most mi
n'ltely. Had the design been accepted
as presented the artist would no doubt
gladly present the Legislature or the
Government with another, perfect as to
finish.
For years the lawn in front of the
Judiciary building has been embel-
lished by a statue, in heroic size, of
the great Kamehameha. For years

| that statue has braved the elements
| without a protest, and without the cor
rectness of his costume being Ques-
| toned.
| 1t has appeared in official documents
and is now a leading feature of and a
| valuable addition to the intrinsic value
of our fiVe-cent stamps. Be it the rep
resentation of fisherman, or monarch
the value of the stamp or the beauty
of design has not been questioned. The
sculptor who set up this work was a
man of ability, or he would not have
received the commission to make the
statue; it must have been satisfactory
to the Governments preceding this, or
it would not have been accepted. The
design on the Great Seal, so far as 1 am
able to discern, is identical with the
statue.
But the one detail in the design that
has furnished more amusement to the
legislators than any other or all others
is the Phoenix. 1t is truly astonishing
what vast fund of knowledge, or ig-
norance, the critics of the artists work
have shown.
The Minister of Finauce says it re-
sembles a Laysan island bird, while a
member of the lower House compares
it to a partly plucked chicken. With
all due respect for the wisdom and
knowledge of the Minister of Finance,
/ question his ability to select a Phoe-
nix from the myriads of birds which
build their nests on Laysan island.
Methinks his pathological capabili-
ties exist only so far as it may be nee
essary to one whose life has been de-
voted to the care of the eagle, which
figures prominently on the off side of
United States coin of the realm. The
fabulous bird Phoenix, with out
stretched wings, is recognized every
where, whether it be at the top of fire
insurance policy or on the Great Seal of
Hawaii. Unfortunately there are few
birds indigenous to the islands, and
not one of the few would be recognized
as easily or have the same Significance
as the Phoenix If was an artist COM
peting for the vast wealth offered by
the Government for design for a seal
would have thanked the Almighty for
putting into my Uranium the idea of
the Phoenix.
Now, then, you wise men, let us rea-
son together and read what wiser heads
say of the Phoenix.
GnaS. A. LANA, writing Tor the Amer
lean Cyclopedia, says in part: THE
fathers of the Church employed the
myth (Phoenix) to illustrate the res
direction, and several of the Roman
emperors used it on coins to typify their
own apothesis or the return of the
golden age under their rule"
Diamond Head is a pretty thing-in
a painting, but unsuited to design for
a Great Seal.

Extraordinary Coincidence.

Prof. Owen, the great naturalist, had
for his constant companion Scotch
collie, even more than usually intelli-
gent. One day while walking with a
friend on the coast of Cornwall he
picked up a small piece of seaweed.
1t was covered with minute animals,
and Prof. Owen observed, as he threw
the piece into the water: eff this small
bit is so interesting, what must the en-
tire plant be? 1 would like to have

with a whole plant of the identical
weed in his mouth. He was soaking
wet, showing that he had been in the

coincidence, but certainly a strange

Germans Rule Europe.

Europe may be said to be ruled en-
tirely by Germans, since the heads OF
reigning houses are, for the most part,
of German origin. The British royal
house is of pure German descent. The
Austrian emperor is German and so
are the Spanish princes. The king OF
Denmark is a German. The king of
Sweden is of French ancestry (the
founder of the present line was Berna-
dotte), but his recent ancestors have
been Germans. In fact, the French
royal lines, the Portuguese and the
Italians are the only non-Germans
among the royal houses of Europe.
Even the kings and princesoft the former

Greece and Roumania-are Germans.

clared.

grandmother, firmly. The majority was
two against him, and at bedtime the
poultice was ready.
The patient was not ready. On the
contrary, he resisted so stoutly thai a.
switch was brought into requisition.

should apply the poultice, while the
mother, with uplifted stick, was to
stand at the bedside. The boy was
