SURF BOARDS ON
HAWAIIAN BEACHES.

At Waikiki, near Honolulu, is a
famous bathing beach. Here winter
and summer, the surf canoes, or bet
ter yet, the sur boards come dancing
In on the long rollers and men be-
come amphibious. There is no SEN
sation quite comparable to riding a
surf board on a Pacific roller. 1t is
tobogganing on a moving hillside OF
water, or, if you are clever enough
to stand up on your board, 1t is TAX
ing this hillside on a single big ski.
The beach runs far out before it
shelves into deep water, and the
breakers begin to mount almost half
a mile at high tide, from the shore
line. You go out there with your
surf board, and wait for the wave.
You learn to catch it at the right mo-
ment, throw your board inshore, and
climb upon it just as the crest of the
roller mounts and catches you. Then
on this crest, you sail in toward the
shore, to slide down at last when the
wave breaks, down the foaming in
cline into shallow water and churn-
ing foam. 1t is royal sport.-The

hundred and twenty-five thousand
square feet of floor space is to be add
ed to the city, on ground covering
eighty-ive thousand square feet. This
floor space is equivalent to forty-six

streets it would cover thirty-two av-

include that territory bounded by
Fifth and Madison from
Forty-second to Twenty-third streets
and in addition to that the territory
inclosed between Broadway and Fifth

evidence Of civilization; for where the smoke aScends
from chimney there is evidence OF organized human
effort and that makes civilization.

and chinked the cracks with mud. He put on

be that there was only big room for Parlor,
dining room and kitchen; but that saved trouble
