HAWAIIAN DISC HURLING.
A Suggestion That Ancient Sport Bs
Revived Well Received.
From the Honolulu Star, February IA.

From the Honolulu STAR February IA.
The suggestion has been made that the old
sport ot rolling the ulu maika, once so prevalent
among the iawaians, he revived. The nu
maika were polished discs of stone some six
inches in diameter and perhaps an inch and u
half in thickness, slightly convcXed on the sides
The sport was very similar to that of the an
ccnt Hellenic rustom OF throwing the disc and
some philolugists have added this custom, with
the shape cf the Hawaiian helmets, wreath Civ
ing and other national traits TO the evidences
rom which they endcavor to trace the Hawaiian
and allied races to a primary Greek and Persian
origin.
The ulu maika were always brought out at any
gathering where fcats OF skill and strength were
TO he exhibited among the iIawaiians, Local
champions from far and near would gather 10
show their skill and many were the wagers on
the outcome The polished stones were hurled
with all the force and skill OF the thrower who
assumed in his cast pose that must have been
almost identical with that OF the wcll'known
statue Of the ''Discobolus Thrower.'
The polished stone would rush along the
smooth track passing all competitors or linger-
ing behind the foremost. Standing with tense
muscles, the thrOwcu remained immovable, while
the excited multitude, lined up along the specials
~ prepared track, would cndcaror to keep apaee
with the swiftly rushing disc, Shouting aloud AZ

twist at the moment of delivery turning aside
from the path at the moment OF triumph, anl
spreading momentlIy CONSERVATION for their
shins among the crowd who laughed at the dis
cOmhtcd athlctc.
The strength used in throwing the discs may
he imagined by the length OF the track which
was prepared. Governor Dole stated that lie had
seen tracks prepared ioS the game OF twelve hn-
dred wards length. II believe" said he, THAT
thc length, of the throw Is not the only test. II
remember rightly, sticks were set up nt the end
of the track between which the disc had TO pass
TO achieve the victory" Other witnesses of this
snort corroborlte the length of tho casts, adding
that one disc would sometimes he so skllfuliy
hurled as TO throw ont OF the path competitor

between the sticks. At luauS and native fcsi-
walls the sport seems 10 have been practccd in y

THE MANAVI HAMMOCK.

a recent report to the state department he gave
some interesting information regarding the manaT
hammock Travellers in Ecuador rarely fail tc
take one or more with them, when returning 10
the United states. In Ecuador the hammock is
an indispensable household adjunct. being used
as a hammock by day and as a bed by night
The raw material is derived from the leaves snd
shoots of 4 palm found in some OF the coast proy-
iures OF Ecuador and known as the "Mocora."
The Use OF this material Tor hammocks has az

Easter Concert.

The Glee and Mandolin clubs of Coll

We're completed for the concert by the
Ladies Aid society of the Berean Bap-
,tist church. When the contract was
signed, it was with the expectation
that the Grand opera house might be
available, but after consulting With
Manager Byrne, it was found that the
house had been previously engaged for
"a weeks engagement. This is a con-
ssideTaple disappointment as only an
saudt5ice, such as the Grand would
accommodate, would warrant the risk
of employing these clubs, which consist
of twenty-three men. The concert will
therefore be held in the auditorium of
the EeTean church.

SERVICE.
Both the Carbondale Telephone COM

are planning extensions and other
changes that will greatly increase the
efficiency of the service of each in this
city and vicinity.

install another section of switchboard,
which will mean Accommodations for
one hundred additional phones. EX-

made, giving service, to Dundaff and

as it We're, has been infused into the
Pennsylvania company. Evidence of
this is to be seen in Carbondale, where
many Improvements will be carried
out, greatly to the benefit of the sub
scribers.
The old quarters will be abandoned

toward recovery lately, and she now
has sufficient strength to walk about
the hospital each day. There is rejoic-
ing in the hospital, as there will be
among her friends, as her influence and
her direction has been greatly missed.
