Out.

The Hawaiian folder. issued by the
Promotion Committee, has an imitation
tapa cover. The pictures are excel
lently chosen but the San Francisco
printers did poor press work and in
a pictorial way the folder falls behind
ever, as the great public is not over
critical a wide distribution of the fold
er will do good. Following are some
extracts from the printed contents:
THE WAY HERE.
Have you heard of Hawaii? Do you
know of the group of islands lying I'M
der the Tropic of Cancer, which are
at once the most Perfect in climate and
the most picturesque in scenery Of all
the Pacific groups? AS the newest
Territory of the nation, the latest star
chaser" in the Union, are you in touch
with the country and people? And
if not, do you not think it worth while
to know them?
1t is not a long, hard journey. The
transcontinental trip has been made
easy by limited trains; the western
half of the Pacific is generally calm
and pond-like; you do not have to en-
ter the storm belt, and the steamships
are of the largest and most modern
type. At the end of travel are hotels
and other accommodations of the first
order. A hearty welcome awaits you,
and the suggestion that this is the
proper time to make your visit is urg-
ed by the people of the Territory
your newest fellow citizens--who have
for you a genuine aloha.
SCENERY AND CLIMATE.
In Hawaii is presented the anomaly
of tropical islands, jungle-covered
shores; long, even slopes leading up to
snow-clad mountain tops. This glori
Gus combination gives to the islands
such wide range of temperature that
one need never be oppressed by the
heat OF cold, for he may within a few
hours find just that climate which is
most pleasing. AT 10000 feet--an ele-
walton attainable on two of the nrinci-
pal islands-the air is frost-Iadea ard
dry, and the seeker fer chill fnds' it
within a days drive OF the seaside In
Honolulu the highest temperature in
summer is SO degrees, IS lille the low
est of winter is 81 degree,
The equable climate makes it Dos
sible to live in the open ali, the wear
round. One may break fsst, luncr and
dine upon the broad lanai (verandt ! Or
beside the open W dow in his hotel;
may walk or drive from daylight on,
and the mild summer showers do not
disturb one who has come to know
the full joy of life in such a climate.
The climate, to degree, is determin-
ed by the trade winds. During the
greater part of the year the breeze
is from the northeast, producing con-
slant aerial current toward the edua-
tor. In each island the principal
mountain range follows the general di-
rection of the group, from northwest
to Southeast. On the north side the winds
blow constantly, and keep the temDer-
allure below IS deg. the year round
The south or Kona sides of the islands,
are the warmer belts, protected from
the winds by the mountains, but even
there no high temperatures are known,
owing to the frequent decided breaks
in the ranges, where the gaps form
great tunnels, through which blow the
constantly refreshing trade winds.
VOLCANOES.
Volcanoes there are, and again vol
