great event. The old men asserted that
each migration had been distinguished
by the name of some new plant brought
In its train. The red Kavika tree. the
Ohia al of the Hawaiian, the Malay
apple of the eastern traveller, and the
Eugenia malaccensis of the botanist,
was, as they alleged, the gift of the last
migration. 1t first sprang up on the
sacred ground where the dead OF the
great multitude had been buried. Be-
fore their departure they cast the seeds
over the soil, and for every man that
died kavika tree appeared. 1t was
even stated that the track OF the last
migration from the setting to the ris-
ing sun was indicated by the growth of
the red Kavika trees.
The principal events OF the several
migrations were recorded in the poems
which were generally recited at the
great gatherings of the people of the
colony; and in this manner all were ia
miliar with the warnings of the arrival
of the Polynesians from the west. Tho
signs of an abnormal season displayed
themselves in the unusual duration OF
the northwest winds, and this was fol-
lowing by the blight of the breadfruit
trees. Birds strange to the locality
were found In numbers in the groves;
whilst the unfamiliar notes OF other
strange migrants were heard i'm the
woods around. Flocks OF migratory
birds passed for days together down
the strait, and insects in dense cloud
like masses flew over the settlement in
their southwark course. Shoals of fish
and huge sea monsters pursued the
same track, and whales in large schools
spouted merrily in the glare of the
monday sun. The appearance of the
floating fruit of the mangrove (the
"tongo" of the people) amongst the
vegetable drift brought down by the
current, was regarded as an unequivo-
cal sign of the near approach of the
migration; and the cry of a solitary
sea gull, known as the "nongo," in the
middle of the night, brought all the
people to the beach to chant the hymn
of welcome to their brethren from the
west Many of these warnings were
referred to in the songs commonly
sung at these periods.

erected at the corner of Fort and
Beretania streets, according to the
orders of c. S. Desky, proprietor.
The contract will probably be let on
Tuesday, but this has not yet been de-
cided on.
The Progress building is to be built
out of the native rock that is now be-
ing so much used in the construction
of the latest improved business blocks
that have recently been put up in the
city, and, taken all in all, it is to be
the most beautiful business block in
the city, with the very best and most
convenient of situations.
It is to be a three-story structure,
with two fronts-the one on Fort be-
ing SO feet and the one on Beretania so
feet.
On the first floor there will be three
stores fronting on Fort street En-
frances to the building will be from
each of the back corners, with stair
ways to the three floors.
The second floor will be devoted to
II suites of offices, with first-class law
atories and two broad Corridors Ev-
erything will be fitted up in first-class,
modern style, and will be arranged
with an eye to the comfort and con-
venience of the occupants.
The third floor will in more than one
sense, be the crowning feature of the
whole building. Think of a. combina-
tion amusement hall and ball room far
up above the dust and dirt and at a
height where the cooling breezes come
from all sides. Nothing is so much
needed in Honolulu as just such a place
that the third floor of the Progress
building will be devoted to. Many and
many are the times that people in the
city have wished to give a little hop
or a pleasant entertainment of some
kind, but have been prevented from
so doing, because there is no suitable
place." Now there will be a suitable
place, and no longer will there be any
need of the words just quoted.
The amusement hall and ball room
will be octagonal in form and will be
so feet in diameter. There will be an
open loggia 26 feet wide in the center
of each front and will connect with

SONGS OF WARNING.

Warned by the cry of the Nongo
In the midst of the silent night
Warned by the floating Tongo,
Warned by the Wild Ducks flight,
Warned by the sight of hundred
Whales
AS they spout in the narrow blight,
Warned by the length of the Western
gales,
Warned by the Breadfruit's blight.
At such times, when the animal
world was i'll at ease, the people of the
colony lost their calm and dignified
bearing, and in it's place there were
the feverish flush, the hurried action
and the anxious glance For nights to-
gether sleep was neither found nor
courted.
Events had followed the usual course
during my sojourn among this people,
when / found them one morning all
standing on the beach watching the
line of migrating birds over
head. A cry was raised, and, looking
up the strait | observed coming swiftly
down the stream a huge quantity OF
debris, composed of large
trees, branches, foliage and seeds, and
fruits in great quantities. To one OF
the fiating masses a crocodile was
and loud shout of "Buwaya!
Buwaya!" from the people announced
TO them that they had seen a monster
known to them only by tradition. In
the meantime the keen eyes of the
older men were busily scanning the
Hoating seeds and fruits brought by
the current close to the beach. At
ength one of them, plunging into the
water, brought to land the fruit of the
the little forerunner Of the
great migration. Its appearance was
welcomed by loud cries OF "Tongo!
Tongo," and all now knew that the
van of the migrating host was nigh.

SHIP-LOADING
BY TROLLEY.

Imagine the spectacle OF a ship
having its cargo sent to It from
land along a trolley wire, as your
purchases in the dry-goods stores
are sent swinging along overhead
to the cashiers desk. That is how
ships are loaded along the inaccss-
sib1e coasts of Mendocino, as the
following article graphically sets
forth by ths a d of photographs.
In the great redwood numbering in-
dustry OF Northern California one may
find many startling innovations in the
application of machinery and mechanical
power to the operations. The employ
ment OF cable railroads in getting the
logs or raw material out of the forest, as
described recently in THE SUNDAY CALL, is
one of these novelties but what is per
haps equally novel is the use of trolley
systems for loading the finished product
Qum ber) into vessels on the seacoast.
These trolley systems are in general use
on the coast of Mendocino County-a
county that has more seaports and fewer
harbors than any other in the State.
From end to end its coast is dotted with
sawmills, and each one is a shipping point
in itself, yet not one can boast of anything
more than an open roadstead for a Earbor.
At few of the ports the nature of the
coast has permitted the building OF
wharves out into the ocean, alongside of
which, in calm weather. vessels may lie,
and while rising and falling with the
ocean swell, have their oargoes lowered
aboard by derricks on the wharf. Most of
the ports, however, have not even this
small advantage, and where there Is
wharf i: is usually high structure built
out over some reef of rocks which vessels
dare not approach too closely. In many
instances there is no sign of wharf, the
lumber for shipment being taken to some
high projecting bluff, whence it must be
lowered TO the vessel bobbing about in
the ocean below.
These last described ports are called
Landings" which is evidently misno-
mer, for in the common acceptance of the
term a vessel never Glands" at one of
them. Ga the contrary, the mariners
chief concern is to keep as far away from
the "landing" as possible, and accordingly
his vessel comes to anchor several hun
dred feet away from the wharf or bluff.
But the vessels anchors are not to be re-
lied OH alone to keep her from going
ashore, and, therefore, to make her posi-
ton more secure, mooring lines are car
ried out in all directions and fastened to
spar buoys provided for that purpose and
firmly anchored in suitable positions.
Sometimes as many as SIX mooring lines,
extending in as many different directions,
are required to makeihe vessel secure and
keep her in the position best suited for
taking on her cargo.
The San Francisco call., 1897-05-16

In former years vessels were loaded at
these Landings by means of long
chute, lowered from the wharf or bluff, to
the vessels deck and down which the
lumber was slid piece Dy piece. But this
was not only slow, but dangerous owing
to the necessarily near approach OF the
vessel and the possibility of fouling the
chute. Now, the vessel while riding at
her moorings at safer distance from the
rocky shore. receives her cargo in sling
loads of 1000 feet or more by means OF
trolley travelling over a wire cab'e
stretched between her and the shore sew
eral hundred feet away. And by the
same means, using large box or cradle,
passengers are transferred to and from the
shore.
In rigging the trolley for use all of the
work is done board the vessel and the
maintenance of the cable in position is en-
tireiy under control of the crew. This is
made possible by having the cable in two
parts and making the only two fastenings
necessary with triphooks. Neither part
of the cable is in evidence when the ves-
sci arrives, one part being at the bottom
OF the ocean, with an end securely an
chored, while the other part, with the
trolley apparatus, is safely stored in the
little donkey engine house standing at
the end of the wharf or perched on top OF
the bluff. The part in the water is usually
about 200 feet long, and as the vessel comes
up to the landing she picks up its loose
end. the position OF which is marked by
buoy.
The lumber to be shipped from these
"landings'l arrives from the mill on cars,
each car carrying about 200O feet OF
boards so piled. that sling ropes may be
passed around the load. All that is neces-
sary then is forum the car under the ca BILE,
fasten the sling ropes and attach them to
the traveller hook, and with pull or two
from the endless cable the load sides off
the car and starts on its way to the vessel.
Arriving there, it is lowered to the deck
by lowering the cable from the freight
boom, and while it is being slowed away
the trolley is returning for another car
load. In this way 10000 feet OF lumber
can be transferred in day, which amour t
represents a fair cargo for one of the sail.

MYTHICAL Fortunes.

Every now and then paragraphs appear
in the papers telling how some hitherto OBJ
scure and usually proveriy-stricken person
has Unexpectedly fallen heir to a fortune
left him by some relative in foreign lands.
The estate in question is invariably large,
so that even if the newly discovered heir Is
entitled 10 but part, that share is enough
to make him a Cresuss among his humble
neigh bors. But somehow the account
never gets so far as to describe an actual
! taking possession of the fortune; it is re-
lated that this proceeding is delayed only
until certain formalities have been com.
piled with, or until he crosses the Allan
tic, or until the next steamer arrives and
brings him the titles to the property, but
Tor some reason he sinks I'm mmediately into
his former obscurty, and if hs really gets
the money the public never hears of it.
1t is probable that such tales are some
times put into circulation by crafty per-
sons engaged in prosecuting so-called
claims against other mythical estates of
fabulous value in order that the hopes of
the victims may be stimulated; but when
they have a foundation in truth the
chances are that the property inherited
amounts to little compared with the i'm
posing figures published.
AS showing how such things are exag.
gerated, case just reported from
Pennsylvania town Is in point. In this
instance the estate is on this side of the
Atlantic and the claimants on the other,
and is that OF deceased Hungarian, who
migrated TO this country some years ago.
He was industrious and frugal, and, be-
fore he died, was classed by his simple
minded neighbors as wealthy. The re-
port grew as ii travelled, and his heirs in
the old country heard that he left large
manufactures and property valued at
S4, 900, 000 Eminent lawyers" were en-
gagged to look after the matter and
they, Dy correspondence with the Consul
at Philadelphia, have learned that the
reputed millionaire left an estate val
ued at exactly $1715, OF which $9O7 is un-
collectible.
The castles built by the expectant Hun
garian relatives will fall with crash when
they get this news, and their last estate
Will indeed be worse than their first, for
$685. the collectibe balance, will hardly
suffice to pay the eminent lawyers for their
trouble in fDding how little money there
is. Possibly, however, their hopes will be
sustained by the belief, cunningIy instilled
by promoters" that they are being de-
ceived and the estate really exists and be-
longs to them. In this case they should
have the sympathy and announcement
OF Anneke Jams heirs. who have allowed
themselves TO be deceived for SO long that
they rather like the experience and are
will ing to pay / berally for it, even though
there is not $80S in sight at the end OF the

The discovery of this cast and its final
location show conclusively how little Gre
dence there is 10 be placed IN many of the
minor theories which the alleged histo-
rians of Napoleon have hastened to ad-
vance about the missing cast, now no

There is no relic in the United States of

to speak say, which equals this. It is
likely that some day it will find its way
into the custody of one of the great his
torical museums of the United States. In
fact a movement to that end Is already in
progress.
