KANEOHE. March 31.-Thousands of
black slugs are crossing the road about
midway between the Pail and Kane
ohe. They are black with white
streak running down the back, and av-
erage three and a half inches long.
The army struck the highway two days
ago. and is apparently heading for the
mountains, doubtless in search of mois-
ture. the country herea bouts being in
an exceedingly parched condition. The
mass of bugs extends almost half a
mile across the road, which is covered
with a white slime that glistens like
snow in the sun. The creatures eat as
they travel, and the smaller forms
of vegetation in their path are entirely
denuded OF leaves by the voracious
migrants Dead slugs, the victims of
traffic lie thickIy on the road and a
great flock of mynah birds hovers over
the crawling host. The natives here
abouts are greatly puzzled over the
phenomena. and the more practical

Maclachlan showed that she is entitled
to the praise accorded her wherever
she has appeared in public, and also
to tn" honor of being Scotland's prima
donna.
The Opera House was filled from or
chestra to gallery. Society was present
in force, and many theater parties
were there. 1t was an audience which
was sympathetic, yielding its applause
spontaneously.
Not alone, however, was Miss Mac

while Mr.. ]. Fulton Dick of Honolulu
proved that he was an entertainer and

Miss Maclachlan was the recipient
of many floral offerings. one being a
huge bouquet, and others We're great
masses of lima and carnation leis, tied
with plaid ribbons. The prima donna
has a fine stage presence combined
with fascinating manner, and she is
a beautiful woman. In singing, her
moods accord with the spirit of the
words and the song. For instance, in
singing Comm Thro the Rye" and by
