people ask, "Has it cured 9TH

with the truths of modern science,

be established between the principal
islands during this year, which, with
the cable station at Suva, win put the
inhabitants in daily communication
with the rest of the world A grant
of $4,000 has been made by the gov
eminent for the entertainment of the
men of the American feet and every
preparation has been made to give
Uncle Sam 5 boys a good time in FIJI.
Although Suva is in about the same
south latitude as Honolulu is north, its
climate is much warmer and more
humid. This is largely due to ocean
currents. The sea water at Suv.. is
several degrees warmer than that in
the neighborhood of the Hawaiian Is
lands, and the rainfall varies from $50
to 100 inches per annum. The cooler
water surrounding Hawaii makes this
American Territory, rightly called

observed, would now be bringing in a
good revenue to the government The
condition of life for the Fijians is so
easy that very little of the work of
the plantations is performed by them
The planters have therefore to import
labor from India at great expense, for
the development of their estates, as the
climate of FIJI is too enervating for
white laborers.
| When the missionaries first arrived
in FIJI, their principal work was to do
away with cannibalism. Formerly
when a feast of human bodies was be-
ing prepared the natives-dressed only
in meager skirt made of brightly
stained strips of bark-joined in a.
dance. This dance was called a Meke
and can be described as resembling
Japanese theatrical performance and
Hawaiian hulahula combined. From
this custom the missionaries hit upon
a unique way to- raise money for their
missions, and now whenever the mis-
sionary funds are low, the Fijians are
called on and commanded to make a
great feast, which is prepared from
native fruits and vegetables, and the |
carcasses of pigs and oxen are substit |
natives-clad in their old-time dress |
of gaily colored bark or of tissue-paper |
and their bodies cleaning with cocoa
nut oil-are allowed to join in the /
dance from which the suggestive varia
tons have in a great measure been /
eliminated-they are expected to con-
tribute to the missionary fund, and,
unlike the modern European or Amer
lean, they vie with each other in try
piled upon a table before which the
sits. When the native gives
a shilling, the missionary accompanied
by the deacons says: "Vanakal
(good) if a native should give a pound
sterling they exclaim: Vanaka! Vana-
kali if more than this, Vanaka! Vana-
kali Vanaka!ll and clap their hands
as the pile is increased; they are then
allowed to join in the dance and later
partake of the feast, at which the or
der of things is some times reversed,
and instead of, as formerly, when the
was roasted, the missionary
now gives the native who does not con-
tribute literally towards his salary, a
roasting.
Some of the natives who were for
merly cannibais are now in the en-
ployment of the government. One of
the most interesting of these old timers

Editor Advertiser: The city of Suva
at which the American feet called on
the way to Australia, is on the Island
of Viii Lew, the principal island of
the FIJI group. These islands number
about 200, and have a total area of
5000 square miles.
Suva is beautifully situated upon a
number of hills facing the harbor. It's
red rooted houses are almost hidden
by vines and trees. Its lawns are
Frightened by flowers and variegated
and highly colored shrubs. From the
city can be seen the coral reefs
stretching out for miles from the en-
trance of the harbor, and covered when
the waves break over them, in glisten
ing snow-white spray, from which the
foam caught up by the winds and
tossed high in the sunlight, falls back
70 the ocean, in iriGescent showers.
These reefs shelter lagoons, where the
clear water over the bright coral is
ever changing-as the grey clouds peeu-
liar to the trade wind regions drift
slowly over it in from deepest to light
est shades of turquoise, and amythest;
in the shadows breaking into opales-
cent tints, and nearer shore rejecting !
the emerald shades of the dense man. !
grove forests with their branches dip
ping into the water. Back of the man
grove swamps are the eoeoanut, banana
and sugareane plantations, showing in
lighter eoloring on the lower slopes,
from which the mountains rise in
countless rugged moss and fern covered
peak and erag, until the view is cut
off by the horizon. These surround
ings make Suva the most picturesque
city in the southwestern Pacific. It's
sunsets too are nowhere more brilliant
or the magnificent shading of their
more delicate tints more finely drawn.
One of the superstitions of the ancient
Fijians was, that one of its valleys was
so sublimely beautiful by the harmony !
of its palms, ferns, waterfalls, river
and mountain scenery, that it was chos-
en- by the Gods as the place where they
would meet the souls of all those who
had died in the innocence of childhood t
and from thence bear them to the spirit
world. 10
The Fiji Islands were discovered by
Tasman in 1913 and later were visited e
by Cook. They were coded to the t
British by the native chiefs in 1874 o
and the deed of eession stipulated that e
the land which had not been alienated t
by the natives and was unoceupied by
them. and unnecessary for their sup v
port, should revert to the crown, and
be used for the benefit of the colony. S
This feature of the deed was unfor- +
tunately overlooked by successive gov
errors. and the commission to divide s.
these lands never appointed. The ma d
tives were therefore led to believe that .
the land in its entirety with the ex-
ception of that sold to the government, "
or to private parties, is still vested IN W
them. The present governor, Sir Ever W
ard i'm Thurn, has taken this matter
up from its inception, and at the pres n
ent time the natives are not allowed 1
to sell any land pending the settlement nj
of this question by the home govern a.
ment. 1t is however generally admit II
ted that the Fijians have in the last II
years of undisputed posses, hi
sion acquired an equity in these sur al
plus lands. ia

! The Fijians were believers in modi
fed form of Osler's theory, viz, wher
they felt themselves becoming en-
feebled through any cause, they asked
their children to kill them, so that they
might be re-incarnated in the same
good physical condition. "When a
chief died OF was killed his wives and
slaves were strangled and buried with
him, so that they would be ready to
serve him in the next world.
"When a war canoe was launched it
was over the bodies of live Fijians, and
when a chief built house, live ma
tive was placed in each post hole, and
a post from about fifteen to twenty
feet long and one foot in diameter was
placed on top of each of them. These
practices were supposed to bring good
luck to the chief. They also believed
that if they ate the body of par
ticularly brave enemy they would ever
thereafter be imbued with his spirit. -
Prior to the occupation of the islands
by the British, the natives were eanni-
balls and were constantly at war with
each other. Their villages were pro-
teeted with deep ditch or moat and
on the banks of these moats were plant
ed thorny shrubs and trees, which made
&bar, OF,
Warning of an approaching enemy
was given by beating with wooden
club on log, followed out trough
shape, the sound of this could be heard
for miles. 1t was the custom to roast
and eat all the captives, and if the
supply ran short the chief made up the
deficiency from the common people.
elm same places when a chief was ex-
pected to visit village the victims
were hung up by the feet, alive, men,
women and children, in rows, through
which the chief was conducted to make
a selection for the feast, at which from
fifteen to twenty would be sacrificed. -
This custom is now of the past, but the
native chief still has a life of ease
and luxury, being in control of the /
tribe, and while admitting an interest |
in the land by the common people, he
has the choice of all its products and J
also of the fish from the rivers and |
lagoons near the village in which he
resides. The system of communism
under which the natives yet live has
nothing to commend it as it does not
stimulate individual effort. In many
Eases their lands are leased to white
planters and bring in a revenue in ex-
,ess of the requirements of the tribe
which induces idleness and degeneracy.
N other eases a portion of their lands

rate much in excess of its value, and
o many acres lie idle which had the
provisions of the deed of cession been
