Now, | never had very much experience

not hypuotize that crowd am willing to
have some one come forward with a more
plausible explanation.
In the audience, " continued the trav'
eler, there were representatives of every
nation and people I ever heard of barring
the Eskimo There were hard-headed
Americans, resident and wandering Eng
lishmen, aud with them their wives and
sweethearts Russians, French, Japs and
Chinese; but the bulk of the crowd was
made up Of native Hawaiians. Papa TIA
showed by virtue Of the direct countenauce
of eX-Queen Liliuokalani and members of
the royal household we're present as wit
nesses to the exhibition. The queen is yet
in power in that land and when she places
the seal Of her approval on anything il
goes, and, as the saying is, goes big The
Hawaiians turned out in force, and after
seeing the aged Priest Of Pele walk hsrm-
less through the flames they accepted him
as a great Kahuna, and many we're the
pieces of gold and silver they showered
upon him.
His patron deity is said to dwell up in
the crater of one of the vast volcanoes. of
the Island of Hawaii. There, in a place
such as exists nowhere else on earth. the
Hawaiians have enshrined Pele. She is
supposed to be quite bloodthirsty goddess,
as goddesses go. and in former times a
large number of stranded mariners went up
as incense to her. The ancient custom re-
quired a human sacrifice every little while,
and the way the followers Of Pele operated
was this: They FIRST caught their sailor and
then carried him willy nilly up the steep
lava-colored sides Of Mouua Loa. The
mountain is some 5000 feet high, and the
climb sometimes claimed the life of the
victim before he could be presented in
proper form to the goddess. When these
rites were of common occurrence there
was a white-hot lake of lava in Mouna I4oa's
crater. The uufortunates we're obliged to
do little trick walking on this hot lake,
and usually lasted long enough to take
about three steps. Then they fell down
aud the nostrils of Pele we're grati6ed by
the smell of the burning bodies If they
had only learned Papa Ita's little plan, no
doubt many of them would have lived to a
green old age or become Kahunas and re-
ceived much largess from the mouarchs
and priests"

The Figure of the Moon.

The form Of our satellite is that of an
ellipsoid of revolution with its axes almost
equal. Theoretical considerations led vari-
Gus mathematicians, notably Hansen, to the
conclusion that the longest axis was directed
towards the earth. Prof Franz. director of
the observatory of Breslau, from a series of
precise measurements on negatives taken
at the Lick Observatory arrives at the result
that the difference between the axes is i'm
percepbble The subject has lately been
investigated by NJ. Mainka with the hello
meter, and he concludes that the axis di-
rected toward the earth is not above four
tenths Of one per cent longer than the
other-a quantity of the same order as the
errors of observation.

Labor Day on the Waterfront.

The water front was quieter yester-
day than it has been on any day for
months. There was little work in pro-
gress outside of that on the steamship
Hawaiian and the putting in of bal
last into the German ship Gertrud at
Railway wharf. Labor Day brought
about a holiday for everyone.
All the shipping offices were closed.
There were no arrivals of vessels in the
Inter-Island trade and all departures
We're postponed until today. The work
of discharging the Alameda did not go
on as the Iongshoremen declined to
work unless given double pay for
the day AS the Steamer Mauna
Loa of the Inter-Isand line is
being hurriedly put in shape to
resume her run to Maui and Hawaii
ports some carpenters were at work
on her during the day.
Many of the vessels lying at the
wharves were dressed with American
flags and the fve-masted schooner w.
H. Marston looked exceedingly well
with all her flags flying.
Some of the island steamers may be
late in getting away today because of
rush of work in loading them this
morning. The Claudine sails for Hilo
and way ports at 5 p. m. instead of at
noon as usual, the change in sailing
time being for this week only.

SHIP GERTRUD
IS SEAWORTHY

A survey has been made Of the leak
ing German ship Gertrud and it has
been decided that the leak is not bad
enough to prevent the vessel from go
ing on to San Francisco where she will
be drydocked and her bottom repaired.
While it was found that the vessel
had sustained extensive damage
through grounding in the Elbe just as
she was starting on her voyage to Ho-
nolulu it is considered that as she was
capable of making the voyage around
the Horn with a full cargo in safety she
should be able to make an easy passage
while only in ballast to the Coast at
this season of the year.
The survey board made a very COM
plete examination of Captain Henke' S
vessel They found that several of her
beams had been twisted and also that
some bottom plates had been badly
bulged in.
On all hands it is said that the skip
per took a big risk and had an i'm
mense amount of nerve in bringing his
leaking vessel around the Horn. He
knew that the vessel had been aground
in the Elbe but did not put back to
Hamburg to make repairs or an investi-
cation of the damage. He could have
done this easily but chose instead to
risk the long passage on route where
sailors seldom expect anything but bad
weather.
Ballast was taken into the vessel yes
terday and force of men were at work
making all the, repairs that were posi-
BILE to the leaking hull while the vessel
lay in the water and a late hour in the
afternoon it was announced that the
leak had been entirely stopped up.

San Francisco, July 19.-Champion
James j. Jeffries spent very quiet day
today. His outdoor work consisted of
a row on Lake Merritt and short
stroll with but very light exercise at
the Reliance club. The big fellow re-
sents the report that has gained cir
culation to the effect that he has over
trained and had gone stale. He has
satisfied the sporting community here
that he was never before in such fine
fettle and declares that the story was
launched fer the purpose OF influencing
betting. The dull routine of tapering
off will be observed at Jeffries' camp
until next Friday night when he faces
Fitzsimmons in this city.
The Cornishman is taking things easy
as well, and the sole aim of each camp
will now be to hold to the conditions
row obtaining. FitZsimmons, who will
leave Skaggs' tomorrow morning and
arrive here tomorrow night, stated to-
day that he was in perfect form and
thoroughly confident of winning the
battle.
The sale of seats indicates that the
temporary arena at Fourteenth and
Valencia streets will be filled to it's ut
most capacity on the night of the fight.
The odds for the most part remain
steady at 10 to 4. although here and
there the F'itzsimmons' end is crowd
