this difficulty delayed them for very

CONTRARY rs THE WEATHER
MAN.

The sun shone bright as bright could be
Until the afternoon,
But then the rain poured fearsomely-
A brutal trick. it seems to me,
To start the rain so soon.
1t waited till each baseball game
And exc the cricket. too,
Had started. Who s the man to blame
If | could only know his name,
| know what / would do
I asked Saint Peter on the phone
Who started all the rain;
He used a very surly tone,
81 wish you would let me alone,
And then hung up again.
But | heard Harry Werner say
He telephoned above
To have the rain kept off a day,
So now I write him down a jay;
| do it with my love.
For, if ed only sense enough
To sweetly ask for rain,
Old Peter, in sleepy huff,
Not recognizing there a bluff,
Would loose the sun again.
So every weather-meddling guys
Just take advice from me
If you would have sunny sky,
For rain-drops you should raise cry
The sun will shine; you see.

ELEVEN SOLDIERS
FRUSTRATED BY HEAT

Heat prostrations, thing heretofo e
practically unknown in Honolulu, re-
cadets in yesterday s parade being laid
out, while there were several cases re-

that damned itself around the Palace
Square yesterday during the course of
the ceremonies. Of the men affected
by the heat, three were of the National
Guard, I've weIe Iufa1lry3en from

five were Kamehameha cadets Nine of
the heat victims recovered very quick

taken to the hospitals, the marine to
the hospital at Camp Very, and Ka-

pator made speech which he thought
was failure, but which even South
rons knew was one of the greatest
speeches ever made.
Barefooted tots from the Pohukaina
school gave drill under the direction
of Miss Adams upon a special platform
while the Hawaiian band played. There
were haoles, Hawaiians, japanese and
Chinese children in the group. All
were dressed in white, and each car
ried small American flag, but not one
wore shoes or stockings, typical of
school attendance throughout the
islands. The children marched and
countermarched and were applauded by
the Governor and the hundreds of
pupils on the grandstand.
The flag drill was given when the
color squads were marched upon the
platform, facing out toward the square.
This was one of the most picturesque
features of the exercises, and all heads
were barred during the pretty school
ceremony.
When the "Star Spangled Banner"
was sung, ringing words of command
We're given, the troops got into motion
again and marched to their respective
headquarters.
Moving Pictures.
R. Z. BONNIE, the moving picture ex-
pert, was established on Palace Square
and made reel after reel of motion pic
lures of the entire parade, and from a
special stand he took many interesting
reels of the school children, the Gov
ernor and guests.

Children Sing.

With a wave of her baton, Mrs.
Anna Tucker, instructor of music in the
public schools, brought the students to
their feet, who sang, most effectively,
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic, -
followed later by "HoEe, Sweet
Home,'' "Our Country's Flag" and
concluding with the "Star Spangled
Banner. +" The singing was revela-
tion. The great volume of sound
poured out, sweet and harmonious, and
even that difficult air, the "Star
Spangled Banner" was sung in man
ner that evoked applause.
During the singing of Home, Sweet
Home,' when the soldiers were at at
tention, the ear-haunting notes caused
breasts to heave and tears triekled
down some of the soldiers cheeks. One
man blinked and tried hard to
keep back the tears, but they came.
Another gritted his teeth while the
tears welled up, and he muttered to
his rank neighbor, ''Oh, God, I wish
they'd stop"

Mrs L. L. McCandless gave reading
