sheaus and fitted while "a customer
waits; artificial flowers; Indian Ma
vajo blankets and hammered silver.
OF course the foregoing list by no
means includes all the processes which
may be seen in the buildings. 1t gives
a faint idea of the perfection of de-
tail to which this great Worlds Fair
has been brought and emphasize the
Importance of a study of the EXposl-
ton from first to last
Those who have the time and means
to visit the Fair and make a lengthy
stay can, of course look into all OF
these matters in detail, but those who
are not 50 fortunate as to go to St
Louis can find an admirable substitute
for u visit in the magnificent series OF
Worlds Fair Art Portfolios, which we
are now distributing among our read
erS
There are $50 of these views and they
cover every feature of the Fair, not
only in art and architecture but in ma
nufacturng and there will be photo
graphs showing some of the most An
teresting of the many processes.
The cost to our readers of this series
of views is merely nominal. Although
the regular retail price of each part IS
twenty-five cents, we supply them al
a cost of only ten cents per part.
1t is only necessary to send this small
sum together with Forest city cou'
pom clipped from our announcements
and any portfolios issued viii be de
livered or forwarded at once.
Thus, those who visit st. Louis may
secure an admirable souvenir of the
Fair while those who are not able to %
so NAV become the possessors OF
valuable Secord and history OF the
event. Six parts now ready.

point of the sword ran into a small
crevice in the rock. So rapidly had the
FISH dashed against the rock that the
sword was driven a foot into the O.
vice.. The swordfsh could not get
loose. 1t churned the water savagely
in frantic efforts to back away but
the rock vice held the sword fast.
At low tide the monster was helpless
John Mcguire took a team of six horses
and dragged she fish hway to the
beach and there dispatched it. The
fish was sold to Japanese. The sword
is being kept as a memento by the
captor.
John Mcguire is given as authority
for the occurrence If the Mauna Loa
people had told the story they would
probably have had the fish impale
the smaller fish on the sword and then
dash madly through the water on to
the rocky cliff in a savage endeavor to
catch up with the small fish, much af-
ter the fashion of a balky horse that
chases a tuft of hay hanging just ahead
of its nose.

COULD NOT ESCAPE.

Madly in pursuit Of a school of fish,
an enormous swordfsh ran head onto
high cliff at Kihola last Tuesday and
imprisoned itself by driving his sword
into crevice of the rocks. The fish was
helpless in it's self imposed imprison-
ment and remained until people from
shore captured it. News of the occur
renee, which is quite remarkable, was
brought this morning by the steamer
Mauna LOa.
The swordfsh measured is feet in
length and weighed S12 pounds. The
great fish swan inshore at high tide.
1t was evidently hungry and was pur-
suing a school of smaller fish. The
swarm of fish raced into the shallow
water hoping to elude the savage pur-
suer, the swordhsh racing after them.
Evidently unmindful of danger, the
swordfsh darted fiercely after the es-
Gaping fish. Too close 1t ran in shore,
and as an alert fish eluded it, the
swordfish ran to it's doom and crashed
against the sheer cliff of rock. The
