native who has given much attention tC
thesport. Second, the natives are becoming
less fond OF the sport, which requires keen
ness of eye, strength of muscle and judg-
ment, beside rare steadiness of nerve and
head. These last may be accounted for in
large part by the fact that with amalga-
nation the native also loses his cunning
along these lines.
If beating in these waters requires great
nerve, certainly surf-riding requires a
large amount more of it. Think of a
man or woman-for both Join in the sport
nearly a mile from shore upon large
breakers with only a coffin-shaped board
about 10 feet in length by two feet wide,
which, when breaker comes along to suit
him, he quickly places under him, and
after mounting his steed. begins a race
shoreward that is to end in almost light
ming rapidity.
l will give few words on this sport from
Mr.. Oleson, of Honolulu: "The exciting pas
time of surf-riding was greatly enjoyed by
both sexes. To be successful performer
the swimmer required immense nerve and
long practice. The Surf-board is made of
koa wood of light weight, kept highly
polished, and is about eight feet long by a
foot and half wide. Carrying this before
him, or under his arm, the native rider
out to sea until he reaches the outer
line of breakers. Here he watches his
chance, seeking the highest roller, on the
top of which he seeks to poise Lying
face downward, afterward to rise to kneel-
ing or standing posture. he is brought
shoreward like a flash of lightning, skill
fully avoiding the rocks, to be thrown in
triumph and safety upon the sandy beach.
The skill is greatest in mounting the roller
at just the right moment, and in keeping
the right position upon its highest edge
In matters pertaining to horses, wind
and wave the native is complete master
alertness, cool judgment, and enthusiasm
fill his being, and he is warrior in
strength, a General in coolness, and a
machine in action. The sea is his school
master, his "proa" is his best friend, and
the broadness of the great Pacific his
nursery.
One of the finest collections of fishing
tackle in the world can be seen in the BishoJ
Art Museum at Honolulu. II would dc
an American sportsman good to have
access TO it, and, TO say the least, it entities
the Hawaiian to place of rank as fisher
man. Before the era Of the white man with
his iron hooks and fancy thread this native

great are the powers of this New Remedy
that in the short time since its discovery 1t
has come into almost universal use in the
Hospitals of Europe and America for the
cure of every form of Asthma. The cures
wrought by it are really marvellous Among
others Rev. j. l.. Combs, of Martnsburg,
West Va, was cured of Asthma of thirty
years standing and Mr.. Alfred Lewis, the
editor of the Farmers Magazine of Wash
ington, d.. c., testifies that after eight
years continuous suffering. especially in
Hay-fever season, the Kola Plant COM
pletely cured him. He was so bad that he
could not lie down night or day, for fear of
choking. After fifteen years suffering from
the worst form of Asthma, Mrs. A Nc
Donald, of Victor, Iowa, writes that the
Kola Plant cured her in two weeks Rev.
S. II. Eisenberg, Centre Hall, Pa; Rev.
John l.. Moore, Alice, S. c.; Mr.. Frank C.
Newall, of the Market National Bank,
Boston. and many Others give similar testi-
mony of their cure of Asthma, after five to
twenty years suffering, by this wonderful
new remedy. If you suffer from Asthma
in any form, in order to prove the power of
this new botanic discovery, We will send
you one Large Case by Mail entirely free.
All that we request in return is that when
cured yourself you will tell your neighbors
about it. 1t costs you absolutely nothing.

so much at home in the water as are these
natives. These men, often accompanied
by their wives, in what to us is apparently
only an apology for boat, are out of sight

fail to return. The women are almost as
expert swimmers as the men.
