MR. BISHOPS ARRIVAL.

In the year 1916 there arrived in
Honolulu ON what would now be called
small sailing ship young man
Charles r. Bishop, who, with some
companions was on his way to the
new Territory of Oregon. None of the
passengers had the slightest idea OF
stopping in Honolulu, but, most fortu-
nately, some of them We're persuaded
10 do so. One of these men was Will
liam L. Lee, who was appointed Chlef
Justice by the King, kamehameha Ill,
and who did immense services to the
kingdom in organizing the courts of
justice and in many other ways. You
VIII find a picture of this good man In
the room of the Supreme Court in the
Judiciary Building. Another man who
remained in Honolulu was Charles r.
Bishop, who needs no title Honorable
before his name. for the title is writ
ten on the hearts of all who know him.
Men may say that il was a happy
chance that two such men happened to
come to Honolulu at this particulaE
time, but I should say we should thank
God that the brig Henry called in here,
and that she had on board the men
needed by the King and the Country,
for we believe that it was all Gods or
dering If Lee did great service in the
direction of the law, Mr. Bishop was
closely identified with the forming of
business methods and business en-
largement as well as in the concep-
ton and the carrying out Of vast be-
nevolent plans, and plans for the ad-
vancement of science. the Importance
~ which you have at present very lit
lie idea.

IN HONOR Of
MRS. BISHOP
Kamehameha Schools
Hold Memorial
Service.

| The Bishop Memorial chapel was
crowded last night with the pupils OF
the Kamehameha Schools. the members
| of the alumni and many visitors at the
memorial service held in honor of the
memory of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the
interior of the chapel being decorated
with wreathes of MALE twined with
lima leis and the. platform banked
with ferns and begonias. The service
was beautifully impressive, special mu-
sic being rendered by the choir and the
addresses delivered by President Perley
L. Horne and by Bishop Restarick be-
the founder of the schools and contain
ing much plain, wholesome advice to
the pupils of the schools.
After an organ prelude, rendered by
Miss S. Lillian Byington, the scholars
sang the chorus dedicated to Mrs.
Bishop, "Pauahi ke Alii,'' putting their
hearts into the words of tribute to the
worth of the departed. An invocation
was then given by Rev. John L. Hop
wood, the choir boys responding.
The address of welcome. delivered by
President Horne, was directed mainly
to the many members of the alumni
present, whom he urged to live up to
the ideals of the school and to reflect
credit through their success upon the
schools and the founder. He urged the
former pupils to remember that they
were ever welcome at Kamehameha.
A beautifully rendered solo, 80 Lord.
be Merciful." was sung by Chester 6,
Livingston, which was followed by the.
reading of a portion of the scriptures
by David L. All. The main address OF
the service was then given by Bishop
Restarick. being preceded by an an
them by the choir girls.
BISHOP RESTARICK's ADDRESS.
ct is we'll that this day is kept and
that YOU gather here each year IN
order that the girls and boys as they
come and &C may keep aI1Ve IN thell
memories the lessons which are TO pe
learned from the life of the founder
of these schools. 1t should have deep
meaning and should be an inspiration
and an encoura cement to every girl
and boy in whose veins flows Hawaii
ian blood. We meet to call to mind the
life and the example of noble Hawai-
ian woman. To those who knew her /
she required no eulogy, for she hao
walked in their sight as woman, wife
and benefactress, and it was with real
grief that they laid her away In the
tomb of the chiefs. which You will :
visit. as is most fitting, tomorrow. |
ITO you she is largely a name, and :
therefore the attempt should be made
every year to make her living person |
atty not name, but force and an {
inspiration as one of your blood who |
i'm her own person showed what a type |
Of womanhood the race can produce.
ITO have an intelligent understand !
ing of the founder we must go back /
to her early life and to the life of her |
noble husband. who was so long closely |
identified with the upbuiiding of these |
islands and who now, though far dis |
tant. keeps in touch with everything
that goes on in Hawaii. which still feels ,
his sympathy and his aid.

LIZARDS OF BARBADOS.

They Can Change Color and Drop

The green lizards which swarm on
every tree certainly have the hardest
life Of any creatures in Barbados, since
their flesh is so delicate that every
thing eats them which can catch them.
Cats, fowls, birds, monkeys and snakes
all devour the poor lizards, which have
only two methods of defending them
selves, both very inadequate for the
purpose. One is their power Of chang

If this does not conceal them from
their enemy they drop their tails. The
caudal appendage jumps from the
ground and makes frantic dance all
by itself, and If the pursuer Is delud-
ed into seizing it the lizard avails it.

For the rest the poor lizards are
harmless things, with pathetic eyes. in

THE TIDY TADPOLE.

How This Che erful Little Cannibal
Eats and Develops.
A wonderful spirit of tidiness seems
to pervade the tadpole world. They
always eat whatever has become use

companions. Even those who are only
weakly are cleared out Of the way and
the victims take it all as a matter Of
course. / have disturbed a strong
member of the community just as he
had begun to dine off the tail of a
weaker brother, but the sufferer has
not troubled to escape-he simply wait
ed till the fratricide returned to COM
plete his deadly work.
For some time there is no grave
change in the tadpoles. They simply
grow and become so far transparent
that their internal mechanism, which
consists of one coil Of intestines, is
plainly visible. When, however, they
are about three months old a careful
observer cssl distinguish q tiny foot

These grow slowly, but seem unable
to move independently until shortly
before the border land is passed which
leads to perfect froghood. The hind
legs have reached their full size before
the front ones appear, and, while the
feet grow slowly, the hands are ready
made and can be used at once. For a
day or two they can be seen under the
skin before they venture forth, and
their possessor is very restless and ex.
cited. He rushes madly about, jost
ling his comrades, and no doubt being
