dropping over their heads The Ma
COON children had a quaint turnout,
representing a tiny Indian wigwam
made of skins of animals The little
ones were dressed in Indian buckskins
and created much interest all along
the line of march.
Behind them came picturesque rig
driven by Mr.. Souza, High School
graduate. The motive power was a
Kcna nightingale, otherwise a donkey,
and the rig was a funny little cart, the
whole being decorated to represent
Spanish peasant s cart. Even the don
keys legs were in holiday garb. g En-
courage European immigration was
the legend on a cloth covering the
nightingale s back.
Well Designed Floats.
The wagon float which took first
prize was that entered by Ernest Kaai,
the well-known Hawaiian musician.
The float was designed to represent
Music. 1t was an exquisite creation OF
violet and white, paper flowers, sur
mounted by Tyre of the same colors.
DeIicately wrought ON the sides were
medalions in the form of crests, the
center being formed of real ukuleies.
The harness was wrapped with purple,
contrasting with the four horses. Mr.
Kaai and many of his musicians, as
well as Miss Kaai and Madame Alapai,
appropriately costumed IN harmony
with the prevailing color tones of the
float, were seated about the float, and
sang as they proceeded. When oppo-
site the Judges stand at the park the
float was halted and the musicians
warbled sweetly, evoking liberal APP
plause from the deaghsed malihln1
judges.
The Independent Order of Red Men
put in float in which the members
appeared CARRIED in Indian costumes,
with faces painted. Theirs was real
istic exhibition, particularly when they
let out a blood-curdling Comanche yeii.
The Fire Department.
The fnely-arched necks of the fire
department horses drew almost as much
applause as the attractively decorated
fire machines of the central depart
ment. The fire department always
makes a fine showing, although the
decorations are always planned and ex-
ecuted so that the machines may be put
in action if necessary.
Pau Riders Are fine.
In the upper end of the Capitol
grounds the pau riders were assembled
by C. F. Chillingwor1h, John Lane and
Judge Andrade, who are not only dis
tinguished and fine looking men on
horseback, but splendid riders. The
riders were directly under the charge
of Mrs. Puahi, who, year after year,
has aided in gathering the riders for
the parade There were about seventy

riders III line, and this year there was
more similarity of costume, and sections
BENG alternated by colors, it was
more attractive feature than ever be
fore. For instance, the first section
wore figured red and blue pau skirts
with black eapes. The next section
wore blue-figured skirts, and the third
red again. The result was singularly
attractive. The women made a fine
showing and all proved that they were
well used to the saddle The horses,
too, this year, were better than last
This feature of the Floral Parade,
while perhaps second in the plans of
the committee, is really as important
as the auto section, as it is distinctive
ly Hawaiian idea and seen no where
else in the world The long, flowing
skirts, fluttering about the TANKS of
the horses, the peculiar way in which
the front of the skirts were held in the
stirrups by the feet, the capes which
concealed the hands of the riders, form
ed never-ending source of interest
for the malihinis. When the pau riders
gall0ped down the raeecnufse before
the judges stand and then sped out
along the opposite side of the course,

humu, Mr.. Rodriguez Kawa, clever
piece of originality, and f. L. HUTCH
inson had the responsibility of steer
ing an Ulaula, which was brilliantly
colored. c. B. Freitas had shark in
the procession, and couple of turtles,
propelled by Ogalu and Sala, were clex-
erly executed. The bicycle feature was
an attractive part of the parade.
Carriages and Floats.
A turnout which was applauded by
the judges at the park and drew forth
such comments as "Oh, isn't it a
dear, was the carriage of Mr. and
Mrs. Gus Schuman. The buggy was
tastefully and gracefully decorated
with wistaria. The harness was cover
ed with purple cloth, in striking con-
trast to the light yellow coat of the
handsome span driven by Mr.. Sehuman
Mrs. Schuman's parasol was decorated
with wistaria blossoms, as well as her
large picture hat. The combination
well deserved prize.

Mrs. Eben Low, and Mollie Williams

the pa-us fluttering, there were excla-
nations of pleasure from visitors.
Fifth Cavalry.
There was craning of necks when
the first notes OF music from the Fifth
Cavalry band was heard on the line of
march The band took the head of the
procession, followed by the first squad
ron of the Fifth Cavalry, U. S. A, in
command of Captain John NJ. Jenkins.
There were four troops in the column,
each troop containing about ffty-five
men. The band was spectacle that
caught popular fancy. The idea Of
men mounted on horses playing band
instruments almost as if they were
afoot caused the youngsters to cape,
open-mouthed, in their assonishment.
The well-trained horses made the music
playing task easy. The troopers play
ed often, as they passed the reviewing
stand at Union Square and out at the
park, receiving applause not only from
the hands of the fair malihini judges
but from the appreeiative populace
generally.

FLORAL PARADE

Miss Kapahu rode Francis Gays blood
ed stallion Expresser. Then Miss Rose
Gibson, representing the little Island
of Lanai, received an ovation. She
wore green and black, and rode well,
The tiny islets of Kahoolawe and
Niihau were represented by very
youthful Princesses. Little Sister Holt
upheld the reputation of Kahoolawe,
wearing pretty purple costume, and
Niihau was gracefully represented by
little Tram Wodehouse. She wore a
green pau, and about her head and
neck were leis of the famous and deb
catelytinted Niihau shells.
When in line with their outriders,
young boys and girls riding ponies and
all dressed in white, the Island Prin-
eesses were at once picturesque and
beautiful. Applause reached them
from the balcony of the Capitol, on

which were gathered a number of
guests of the Governor, including Cap.
tain and Mrs. Rees of the Navy, Major
and Mrs. Dunning of the Army, Mayor
Fern, and many officials of the govern
ment.
Goats and Fishes.
The arrival of the goats and fishes
was attended with some difficulty.
There was one diminutive, bleating
goat which baa-a-ed long and Justify
for its ma. 1t was hitehed to a little
cart in which was a small boy, but the
little goat was unequal to the task of
drawing the load and the prettily deco
rated cart was not seen in the parade.
Another goat with venerable face, set
off with fine beard, was in the parade
and received much applause.
There were some original make-ups
for the bicycle section. There were two
large fish. But the largest fish was I'M
wieldy, particularly when a wind swept
down cross street, and the rider
finally gave up the task of wheeling
and left his machine behind, contenting
himself with going to the park as a
pedestrian with the fish enveloping
him There was Chinaman, and a
couple of japanese, both Enthusiastically
CARRIED. One japanese rode a machine
designed to look like a bird, and an
other japanese entry was pretty con-
ception of huge butterfly.
This section of goats and fishes was
ably looked after by Manuel Peter.
His Territorial Messenger Service was
represented by the fish Kala, A if

IMPORTANT CENTER HERE.
Plans are made to make this state
one of the most important component
parts of the great wireless circuit of
articulate communication to reach from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. Sub
sldiary companies are now formed In
ten states of the Union, and others are
in process of formation In many other
states, but 1t Is expected that this
state will be one of the most important
centers.
Collins himself Is man of tremen-
dous mental force, and judicial scien-
tiflc publications place him In the class
with Morse, Bell, Edison and Marconi
In furthering the cause of modern
science for the benefit of mankind.
"My wireless telephone represents
the last stage known in the evolution
of communication" says A. Frederick
Collins Wireless telephony is a
great advance over the wire system,
because distance between two stations
ceases to be an impediment to clearity
and reliability, and the cost of main
tenance and installation Is slight in
comparison"
Since its inception in 1904, the par
ent company has grown from healthy
infant to vigorous youth, through the
policies of A. Frederick Collins tech
nical director, and his associates,
owing to the fact that Collins holds
the basic patents on wireless tele-
phony In America, Is the best informed
on all wireless matters, being author
of Ave books on wireless, the authority
quoted in many encyclopedias, and
his aim being to further modern
science rather than to merely grasp
after sordid pelf.
GOLD MEDAL CONFERRED ON
COLLINS AT A.-Y-P-E.
In Seattle at the Worlds Fair, the
gold medal-highest award for wire
less telephones-was conferred on A.
Frederick Collins, and in many other
places as we'll as Seattle, he has en-
deavored to openly exhibit his patents
so that the world might learn and
adopt the latest means of communica-
ton. At the Buffalo Exposition, the
Electrical and Business Mems Exhibit
tions at the Coliseum, Chicago, and
Madison Square Garden, New York
City, the First American Aero Carnival
at Arlington, N. j.; talking across the
Charles River from Boston to Cam
bridge in the presence Of prominent
citizens. on board the Japanese Flag
ship "Soya" In San Pedro Harbor,
where Admiral Ijichi talked to the
"Aso" down the bay; at the Holy
Angels picnic, where 10000 persons
talked without wires, snd in hundred
other instances, the Collins wireless
telephone has been subjected to the in
credulous tests of the public. and has
always been successful.
Specialists for many years endeav-
ored to invent system by which elec-
trical impulses could be transmitted
over long distances wirelessly, but A.
Frederick Collins was the first to in
vent an instrument by which this
modern miracle could be accomplished.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-07

In 1900, he made the first long dis
tance wireless telephone test, talking
across the Delaware River. He then
placed his instrument on the ferry
boats "Ridgewood" and John D.
Mccullough" on the Hudson River,
and his first authentic public long dis
tance test, talking between Newark
and Philadelphia, distance of SO
miles, without wires, was successful
and was recorded by scientists and
their publications in many lands.
ELECTRICAL ENERGY DESCRIBED.
In speaking of the factors of electri-
cal power, 1t Is noted that there are
two fundamentals, one termed voltage
and the other amperage. The volt is
the unit of electrical pressure, while
the ampere is the unit of electrical
current, or quantity.
"In order to ascertain the actual
work current of electricity is capable
Of performing, 1t is only necessary to
multiply the volts by the amperes, that
is to say, the pressure by the guam
tity," says Collins. THE unit of cleo
trical work is called the watt, and this
is obtained when we multiply the
voltage by the amperage. There are
746 watts In 1 h. p. An ordinary 16
c. Il. incandescent lamp requires cur
rent of " ampere at pressure of 110
volts to bring 1t to full candle power;
that Is, 1t requires SO watts or almost
14-100 of hip. In our ordinary WIRE
less telephone work, we use about 500
volts, and from to ampere-, which
Is equivalent to 1900 watts or about
2 h. p. OF course this low voltage cur
rent is stepped-up to about 100000
volts and the current decreases pro-
portionately. Indeed 1t could not be
otherwise, for IL the current remained
constant and we stepped-up the volt
age, we would then be gaining in en-
ergy, under which conditions perpetual
motion would be possible. and this
would be in direct violation of the In
flexible law OF the conservation Of
energy"
A CALCULUS FlEND.
When Collins was a student at the
old University of Chicago, science and
mathematics took his entire attention.
He solved all the great problems of
calculus, and his professors said of
him that there was no problem in the
whole OF mathematics that he could
not unravel. In the making of
mechanisms he excelled all of his
fellow students, and he made most of
the instruments he used in the labora-
tory of the University, In that early
day, he gave wireless matters his
attention, and later evolved the instru-
ment that is now accepted as the only
wireless telephone that makes articu-
late wireless communication possible.
Since 1901, Mr.. Collins has lectured
for the Board of Education of the City
of New York in their Extensions, on
Telegraph and Wireless Telephone.
He is the author of five books on wire
less; he has contributed over 500 orig
inal scientific articles to the technical
magazines of the world, one of his
most notable being "The Discovery of
The Effect of Electric Waves on Brain
Cells"

gone by it was no unusual thing for a
boy to be set to keep the birds Off the
crops. But watch boy whose duty it
is to keep lookout for school Of

upon stills is not such an everyday
sight.
