The natives offered many things for
sale, such as eocoanut baskets of shells

canes, seed leis, mats, kapas, etc, also
oranges, pomelos, coeoanuts, bananas,

Since leaving Suva yesterday morn
ing, and as We sail southwest toward
Sydney. it Is growing much cooler every
day. More like our cold winter weather
in Hawaii. 1t is still midsummer with
you, dry and hot, and you have to take
ride on the Kalihi or Waikiki electric
cars to get fresh air and be cooled off,
while we are having it cold and chilly
and many stay IN the cabin to keep
warm. 1t is a beautiful, bright day
outside. Some of the passengers are

while they keep time with the rolling
and pitching of the ship.
Now few unes about the Fiji

the tourists arriving in Honolulu at

in front of the city.
From the lights of the streets and
from the many houses in town, as well
as from the resident portion on the
rising hillside. it reminds me much OF
Hilo and its Surroundings Only the
wharf is at the foot of the main up
town street. The wharf runs straight
out to deep water where the largest
steamer can lie. Suva has fine streets
and sidewalks in the city proper. Vic
toria Parade, or Front street, is beau

ized like Kalakaua or Waikiki avenue.
On the mauka side of the road are
the stores, hotels, boarding houses, etc.
On the makai side and between the wa

monkeypods and banyan trees, seated
on benches and on the green grass, the
people sit and talk or walk, plying their
goods or making fun for the strangers.
The skin of the real Fijian native is
black and from their appearance and
actions they are noble, kind and gen

FRANK COOKIES NOTES
ON AUSTRALIAN CITIES

I particular state. Each state has its
capital. Sydney Is the capital OF New
South Wales. a large city OF 500. .00c
people. Its harbor is most beautiful
| and one OF the largest in the world,
and looks much like Pearl Harbor with
its many branches and side harbors.
We got up TO the wharf at o'clock
and walked up to the Metropole Hotel.
This hotel is not the largest in the
city. but nearly as big as the Young
Hotel 1t is on high land in the front
part of the city and commands q fine
view OF the harbor and surroundings
We spent much CT the morning ar
ranging for our return tickets TO Ho-
nolulu. via Auckland and Suva, secur-
ing rooms on the steamers, etc. We
visited the large post office. a high
building reaching and spreading out
along on three Of the busiest streets
of the city.
After lunch we took cab Ca ham
som). a one-horse. two-wheei covered
buggy. The driver sits up on the back
so high that he looks over the top
of the buggy to drive. We rode
through the park or domain. passing
some of the public buildings. etc, wise
iting the museum, art gallery. library.
etc. 1t was most interesting drive
and instructive trip. We did not see
any Australian natives. What there
are left of them live in the bush or
backwoods. and none stay in the cities.
Sydney harbor has a long. high
bridge connecting the two sides OF the
city at narrow point The middle
of this bridge is made that when ships
or vessels want to pass, II swings on
its center to allow them to pass out
or in.
Manley and other places up the bay
are small villages like Waikiki and
are the great bathing and picnic places
for the city people on holidays and
Sundays. Tourists always go there.
but we could not. as our time was
short. The seashores are reached by
steam launches, ferryboats and street
cars from all directions. Some OF the
old streets of Sydney are narrow. look
ing more SO because the buildings are
so high and large on either side. The
city management is well arranged and
The tram car Service is owned and
run by the city, and they handle the
great crowds in a fine manner. 1t
has a great many cars and crowd Of
$4,000 people at the baseball grounds
was all taken away in twenty min
utes on the Saturday before We ar
rived. The cars run to all parts of the
city and single ride costs one penny
(two cents). They give no transfers,
but you pay every time You change.
The different car lines cross SO often
that you have to change many times
if you ride far.
Sydney is built on four hills and ex-
tends over an area of $1,000 acres, and
contains about 100, 900 buildings. It has
1868 miles of street and roads, includ-
ing the suburbs. It is the oldest city
of Australia, founded in 17S6, and now
the tax-paying property is valued at
s500, ,000, 900.
The people of Sydney are very kind
and obliging to newcomers. They try
to get people to stay in Australia ard
are working together to build up and
increase the population and wealth.
Some claim that Sydney will some day
be the largest center of civilization in
the world, outside of London.
But this letter is already too long, so
1 must close.

=. =. -NohVia, vuts IS, 1SVt.
We sailed from Sydney yesterday,
Wednesday the 17th July, and are now
on board the s. s. Mokoia, 5000 tons,
bound for Auckland, n. e., the land of
the Maori, where We hope to arrive on
Monday.
To 60 back few days. After writ.
ing letter No. ,, on our way from Suva,
in which mentioned some things about
the FIJI Islands and their people, we
arrived safely at Brisbane, of 10000
people, the capital city of the State of
Queensland. the northern state of Aus
tralia. Brisbane is nine miles from
the coast line and we landed at the
station of Pickering at p. m, where
the Aorangi was to load coal until mid
night. Here again we as tourists were
compelled to visit another city at night
as we did in Suva.
Taking the steam cars we soon step
ped out into a new and strange place.
We walked for half an hour up Queen
street, one of the principal streets of
the city Of Brisbane. After taking a
good supper, or dinner, as they call it
here, at a German restaurant with a
long name, but run by some English
ladies, we walked around the city for
an hour. 1t was Saturday night and
the streets were crowded and the side
walks full of people. The way the peo-
pie walked and talked, the way they
dressed in bright colors, the girls with
broad brimmed hats, was all very in
teresting to US. The weather was cool
and we got very cold especially after
a long ride on the electric street ears.
People on passing all turned to the left
instead of the right and no dogs were
seen 10 bother US as we walked.
l cannot tell you all saw as it would
make my letter too long. We returned
to our steamer at IL O'Clock, it being
the last train for the night and went
to bed. We were surprised in the morn
ing 10 find our steamer had not sailed.
She did not leave until o'clock that
Sunday morning, July IA. Again we
had fine weather, all the way TO Sydney,
arriving there Monday afternoon at
$50, but it being already dark the
doctor did not come out to us, so we
could not land and the captain was
compelled to anchor at the mouth of the
great harbor of Sydney, until Tuesday
morning, to await the arrival of the
doctor.
We were all much disappointed at
this delay, for we had only come from
Brisbane, about 500 miles north, and
were examined by the doctor there
You see, Australia is a large common
wealth, but, while under the British
Empire, is run by itself. having its
own government and paying its own
running expenses. Australia is about
as large as the United States, but only
divided into six states. Its states are
each independent OF the other and run
on its own account. Each state has
its custom house, its postage stamps,
its parliament, etc. The postage
stamps of one state can not be used
for posting letters outside of its own

cents day. Their contract holds for
i've years, at the end of which time
they are offered a free passage home
or can hire themselves out and remain
IN the country, as they like. The Fiji
ans work for themselves and live by
their own industry, shipping bananas
and other fruits, or making and selling
curios, etc.
The Pacific Cable Co., the Union
Steamship Co., and the Town Hall or
government house are the only
buildings situated on the edge of the
seashore. From this and much more
you can judge that the tourist always
hnds plenty to see and occupy his time
IN any new country whether he arrives
by day or night.
The curio stores are very interesting.
They don't seem to have any flower
girls or flower leis for sale on the street
or sidewalks. / saw no flowers that
evening but plenty of fruits, etc. A
very 1ew native women showed them
selves on the street after dark. The
natives live mostly in blocks ont of

dations about three or four feet above

Guiding matters Of religion and sex, or

political ideals are different, and We.
at any rate, have no hesitation what
ever in declaring that for our people
