The Mana Coast.

Early Morning on the Coast of
Mana can not but attract attention,
both from the faithfulness of rendering
and the sympathetic touch that tells
that the artist painted something that
he loved.
From the foot of purple cliffs grey
mists rise from the smoking waters and
are dissipated by the first strong rays
of the morning light. while in the sky
Just turning bright with the promise of

Do It NOW
Honolulu People Should Not Wait Until
It Is Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms give
place to chronic disorders and the suf-
ferer goes gradually into the grasp of
diabetes, dropsy, Bright's disease,
gravel or some other serious form of
kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secre-
tons are irregular of passage and un-
natural in appearance, do not delay.
Help the kidneys at once.
Doan s Kidney Pills are especially for
kidney disorders-they cure where
others fail. Over one hundred thou
sand people have recommended them
Here s a case at home:
James c. L. Armstrong, Nuuanu Val
ley, Honolulu, Hawaii. says: 81 was a
sufferer from kidney trouble for three
years and Doan's Backaehe Kidney
Pills completely cured me. I have had
no return of the complaint during the
past year. I cannot recommend this
remedy too highly
Doan Is Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and storekeepers
at so cents per box (six boxes $3.50
or will be mailed on receipt of price by
the Hollister Drug Co., Honolulu, whole
sale agents for the Hawaiian Islands.

w ainea Canyon.

One of the larger canvases and one
that strikes the eye on entering the
room is 1.-The Waimea Canyon In
this, back of a tumbled foreground
sharply defined in the sunlight, are
hazy distances, mountains mellowed by
that same indescribable haze that few
can put into words; purple shadows that
contain no suggestion Of gloom. The
scene is not excessively wild, vet it
gives sense of openness. freedom. the
large feeling that ones gets only when
facing boundless space.

is slightly yelled with that soft. pearly
haze that Wix has so well succeeding
in reproducing. In the foreground on
both sides of the steep canyon walls are
bright green Of vivid vegetation. while
far beyond in the mysterious distance
the clouds come down To obscure the
SUBMITS of the canyon walls and mingle
with the mists that swirl at the upper
end of the great gUlch.

Wix's Versatility.

The versatility of the artist is at
tested by his ''Sunset. Hanalei. =
which is very different from anything
else among the pictures exhibited 1t
is a sunset with the sun hidden vet
half revealed through red-gold clouds,
the golden rays melting impereeptibly
into brilliant purple and violet haze
that softens and half obscures the out
line of the mountain beyond. The
peculiar tint of this sunset haze is re
Elected on the quiet surface of the
waters Of the bay. In the distance the
masts and spars of two small vessels
are silhouetted against the eastern sky
The picture. one Of the smaller can
vases, IS probably the most daring of
those exhibited, and attracted much
attention.
There are so many others. all Of them
good. that any attempt even to give
an idea Of them, is futile. And. any
way. there IS little use in attempting
TO describe the work of an artist.
Description Of that means little. for
pictures are TO be seen, not talked
or written about.

Striking Canvases Are Shown at
the Exhibition at the
Young Hotel.

Otto Wix, the artist, has returned
from Kauai where he has been working
for several months past, and he has
brought with him the golden sunsets of
the Garden Island, the purple mists, the
varicolored seas, the mysterious noun
talns, the yellow sands. On the can
vases which he painted on the island
that IN some respects is the most beau
tiful of the entire group, he has per-
petuated the beauties mat but COM
paratively few beauty-lovers of the
world may see and that many who do
not see find it difficult to believe really
exist.
But to those who have lived in Ha-
wall long enough TO know the infinite
variety Of the color schemes of the
Islands, to become acquainted with their
wonderful skies, TO love their incred-
IDLY tinted waters, there is nothing
bizarre in the paintings of Otto Wix,
nothing too highly colored, nothing
overdrawn. Mr.. Wix has succeeded in
reproducing on canvas the soft, deli
cately colored hazes Of the Hawaiian
mountains, the purple shadows of the
canyons, the wild profusion of colors of
the waters, the mysterious, elusive dis
tances.
Yesterday at the Young Hotel, was
opened an exhibition of the Kauai
paintings Of Mr. Wix, cards to the ex-
hibition being sent out by Mrs. A. g.
Halves, who was hostess. Hundreds of
the art lovers of Honolulu crowded the
parlors to see Mr.. Wix's work and ali
Of them went away enthusiastic over
what they had seen.
Mr. Wix has been spending several
months on Kauai, much of the time at
the home of Francis Gay, and he has
been prolific in his production. He has
about ffty-One fine water colors on ex-
hibition, and viii continue to show
them as long as he remains in Honolulu.
Most of them are listed for sale, but
there are several which Mr. Wix refuses
to part with-and he cannot be blamed.
Nobody would want to part with them.
Out of the many pictures lining the
walls of the Young Hotel parlors, it is
difficult for one who had but an hour to
spend looking at them to pick out the
best for special mention. Even Mr..
Wix himself processes inability to say
what is best "They are all so differ
ent, - he SAYS, "and each one tells its
own story.
But there are some that stand out so
prominently that even the casual look
er-on cannot help but be struck by their
strange beauty and peculiar character

somber ruggedness set off by the
brighter colors of green vegetation in
the foreground.

Hawaiian Colors.

1t Is common saying IN Hawaii that
the colors are so vivid here that the
artist cannot use too bright colors on
his palette or make his canvases too
lurid. The saying may be common, but
it is not true, for all that. The colors
of Hawaii are not vivid or lurid They
are bright, as general thing, brighter
than anywhere else in America, per-
haps, except on the great deserts which
are yellow glare of sunlight, or in
the great canyons where the painted
rocks are tinted with Understandable
colors. But the brightness of the Ha-
waiian land or water scape is soften
ed and mellowed by delicate, in some
cases almost imperceptible, pearl-coIored
haze which, except in close fairgrounds,
takes away all harshness of outlines
and all glazing contrasts of color.
This Hawaiian popularity Mr.. Wix
has caught and transferred to his can
vases There is not a gloomy picture
among all those that he is exhibiting,
but neither is there one that rises up
and slaps one in the face. There is a
general atmosphere of brightness. of
sunshine. of clear skies, glittering wa
tiers, richly tinted cliffs, opulent dis
tances One feels the out-of doors,
hears the droning of the breakers, the
murmur of the Trades, smells the salt
tang of the sea.
