meet there is an arc, and as almost
all attraction upon the planet is its
individual conscious action, as well As
is in the minds of the people The
electrical (spiriD current radiates
along the wires to meet the current
generated from the congested centers
of human thought; and as a conse-
quence the great earth in her struggle
to overcome the menta, action of her
children, and assimi ate the conditions
upon her body, will be thrown into
commissions to such an extent that 1t
will cause portions of her body to
sink into old ocean and other portions
to rise up to take the place; and il
the people do not take warning and
stop this warfare of competition from
an economic as well as a religious
standpoint, the commissions of the
earth body will cause such a disturb

action, that the g,aziers and the north

earth from the North Pole almost to
the Equator.

effect of the terrible greed, avarice and
lust of power of the present color rei-

Kamehameha Day is not related to
the birthday of Kamehameha l, but to
that of Kamehameha V. Yet it is not
the natal day of the latter either,
whose birth and likewise death was
on November 80 Nevertheless a dif-

/ that sovereign, for he changed times
( and seasons and institutions with his
! breath. He it was who, on coming to
the throne, stubbornly refused to sign
the constitution of 1852 Judge Allen
told him if he didn't sign it no law
of his kingdom would be valid. "All
the same | will not sign it," the king
replied. A constitutional convention
was called and took into elaboration
the draft of new constitution prepar-
ed by Chief Justice c. c. Harris. For
five days a majority of the convention.

least $75 a year, so that loafers and

capacity of the voter, either of which
constituted the qualification to vote.
q. K. Bishop (now an eminent and
venerable banker of San Francisco)
moved to insert $3.50 for real estate. sy5
rental for leaseho,d and $50 for income.
1t did not go and at length Kameha-
meha said in effect: "'To your homes,
o statesmen. l hereby abrogate the
constitution of 1852. / will give you a
constitution" And he did promulgate
the fundamental law which stood until
superseded by the. "bayonet constitu-
ton of 1887. Five days had elapsed
during which Hawaii was without a
constitution.
But as to June II. There was a pub
lie holiday called Restoration Day on
July 81, commemorating the restoring
of the Hawaiian flag by British Al
miral Thomas in 1S43. Kamefameha
V did not believe it was a day to cele-
brate, holding that Great Britain only
did what was the right thing in res
toring the flag. Therefore he refused
to recognize Restoration Day as No
tional holiday. the legislature want

abolished and about that most pleasant
season of the year. So it created Kane.
hanleLa Day in homo: of the reigning
king, who accepted it as a celebration
of his birthday which had never other

hours. l have been investigating the
matter, l have failed to ascertain why
the king allowed his birthday to be
kept, nationally, ON the wrong date.
Presumably it was matter of seasons
There is a parallel in the case of Re-
gatta Day, which, BEGINNING with Ka-
lakaua's birthday on November 16. was
after the death of this royal patron OF
aquatics made a public holiday in Sep
