The people on the transport Thomas
seem to be making hay while ,he sun
shines by going back to their juvenile
days. The 500 and some odd young men
and women who are going out to the
Philippines to teach the young Filipino
mind to shoot, have evidently decided
to take life as lightly while the present
voyage lasts and wait until they reach
Manila before they settle down to the
stern reality of being wage earners 1t
may be that the teachers behind the
young Filipino citizens are to- do the
work but the visitors now here are not
going to do any work except have a
good time.
The pursuit after the picturesque and
instructive here has been a revelation.
Early this morning before the sun was
up the crowd was astir on board ship.
The fame of the Pail had reached them
and they Immediately organized party
TO visit the place. They started as
early as o'clock in the morning. Some
of them went without breakfast while
others delayed their march until later
in the morning. The original idea had
been to tramp to the top but the pros
pect of walking miles to the summit
and return was too much and many
of the crowd backed out A few of the
hardy enthusiastic ones essayed the
trip by foot, however Others took bicy-
cles, while still more secured brakes
and all sorts of conveyances. There
was line of travellers all day to the
Pail. About ninety per cent carried ca
meras and everyone in the bunch tried
TO take views. As the result the Pail
has probably been snapped" from
more angles than in its entire previous
history.
Cameras have been the badge of pc
dagoy. Ordinarily it is an easy task
Tor an Hawaiian to tell stranger and
/ the present crowd of school teachers
has been the easiest lot to locate that
has ever visited this place. If you see
stranger, either man or woman,

1t is a wonder that poor old Kameha-
meha the Great has not risen and howl
ed for pair of pajams to hide his nak-
ed legs from the army of kodaking
school marms who have been gazing at
him since the transport reached port.
big lot of the crowd have visited
| the Bishop Museum and many more
have gone to Waikiki and the places
of interest. Punchbowl and Diamond
Head have been special places of inter-
est. Everybody has a sfiealOing little
hope that either or both of these anti
quated old roarers will rise up and
erupt for their benefit
! The native Hawaiian has been chased
to his lair. Highly proper, as are all
of the school ma'ams, it is safe to say
that all of them have felt a regret that
the natives had acquired the use of
clothes. A Bible and a smile would be
so much more romantic and primative.
Some of the male teachers have dis
covered the primatve art of distiling.
They went against "swipes' and okOle-
hao with the result that had their
parents at home met them on the
streets they would have been disowned.

with looking around and making notes

ball is in progress this afternoon. The
vessel will not leave until Saturday
some time.
