Takes Secret to Her Grave

Maria Beckley Kahea, high chieftainess
of the ancient Hawaiian nobility. in
which women ranked equally with the
men. who died July IL at Honolulu, took
with her to the grave, it is believed the
secret of the final resting place of the
bones of Kamehameha the Great. the
first king of Hawaii.
Mrs. Beckley, who was until her
death the keeper here of the royal
mausoleum, was the granddaughter of
Captain George Beckley, one of the
white generals in Kamehameha's con-
quering army, who had married one of
the princesses of the soil. Her great
grandfather, on the Hawaiian side. was
Chief Kamanawa, who is one of the
twin brothers to be seen on the
Hawaiian coat of arms.
The secret of the burial place of
the great Kamehameha, concerning
which there are many myths and
stories in circulation in these islands, is
supposed to have been known only to
Chiefs Hoopili and Hoolulu, who passed
it to their immediate relatives at their
deaths. These two watched beside the
original grave of the first king at
Kailua,, Fl. T., until the guards be-
came negligent. Then they surrepti-
tiously took the bones and carried them
away to be buried in a secret place
where no future enemy could desecrate
them.
According to the story handed down
in the Beckley family the two slew
the few who met them and could tell
where they had gone. then, while one
watched, the other dived off the cliff
and placed the bones in cave with a
submarine entrance
Where that cave may be has long
been a subject of speculation here
among whites and Hawaiians alike, and
it was thought that only the keeper OF
the mausoleum held the knowledge.
Concerning this secret burial place
Mark Twain has written one of his best
Hawaiian sketches.

posted in a box and were drawn from
it by the young unmarried men. The
young woman became the valentine of
the young man who drew her name
The custom of sending valentines is so
ancient that it can not be traced, but
traces of this have been discovered as
existing among the people of northern
Europe before the introduction of
Christianity among them. 1t is held by
some that the observance of valentine
day is based on the fact that at that
time the birds select their mates.
