GERMAN SUN W0RSHIPERS LIVING
SOLITARY LIVES IN NEW GUINEA

Manila Cablenews American: Ar
irving in Manila yesterday on the
Australian liner Prinz Sigismund was
Professor John Cox of London, Eng
land, a distinguished educationalist
who for the past ten years has been
professor of physics at McGill Uni
versity, Montreal, Canada, where his
activities have covered a large field
Doctor and Mrs Cox were visitors at
Malacanang during the day, calling on
Governor General Forbes, as they have
mutual friends.
Doctor Cox tells an interesting story
of an incident that lent much novel
ty and romance to the voyage from
Australia to Manila. Coming up
through New Guinea the Prinz Sigis-
mund stopped at one of the fertile
islands, which is visited by steamer
but once each year. Living on the
island are three German traders who
have large cocoanut plantations on
which the native population is en-
ployed. The men have lived there
for years, and in manner of living and
dress are hardly to be distinguished
from the islanders. Their raiment
consists of the usual sarOng, known
wherever sun-kissed island jewellers
yearn for the cooling ocean breezes to
fan their heated bodies. They call
themselves the Sun Brothers, as their
religion is sun-worship, and their SELF
imposed life work is to sing praises
to the cocoanut. Four times year
the brothers publish a magazine, de-

representatives of royalty. The com
pletion of the Panama canal is an
event of such world importance that
it seems likely that such an invita-.
ton would receive the most favorable
consideration

"The exposition management is
also considering the feasibility of OBJ
tanning the transfer to this coast for
the year 1915 of the America cup
race. This race, if held here, would
attract universal attention. If so, it
is not unlikely that an entry may oa

signed and constructed on this coast
and commanded and manned by Pa
cifc sailors.
Such gigantic yacht regatta
would furnish the opportunity for
worldwide exploitation. The yacht
fleet in San Francisco's harbor would
be one of the most dazzling features
of the exposition. The yachtsmen
from the Atlantic coast and foreign
countries who come here will find the
largest, most wonderful and varied
cruising grounds Of any section of the
globe. They will he able during the
summer to visit Hawaii and the

The owner of an ocean yacht is
inevitably a man Of prominence and
wealth. Their introduction to this
coast in such a manner, together with

Commodore Freeman in such a man

HILO, Oct, 24.-1he reclamation of
the swamp district mauka of Front
street is feasible.
The project is not only feasible, but
it can be carried through for sum
which seems almost rediculously small
when the benefits of the improvement
resulting therefrom are considered.
For $4,000 the seventy-two acres
comprising the swamp area on both
sides of Piopio street can be filled in
at a height of five feet above sea
level.
For this sum this large area, which
is now practically valueless, dead
property in the way of the develop
ment of the city, much of it even dan
gerous from a sanitary point of view
can be made useful and even very
valuable. This seems one Of the best
pieces of news which Hilo has heard
for many a day.
The estimate referred to above was
made by County Engineer South.
worth. He was asked some months
ago by Inspector Bowman to take up
the reclamation matter in order that
the health authorities might have re-
liable data to proceed by, South
worth worked on the question with
interest, taking in every detail, with
the result that when President of the
Board of Health DR.. Pratt visited Hilo
last week the county engineer was
able to submit to him an interesting
and valuable report.

San Francisco Chronicle: Since
1914 the Manchus have sat on the
throne of China. Representing a pop
total of somewhere around 100000
600, the male and female rulers Of
this race which descended u ..
China from the north much as the
Normans did in Great Britain, have
managed to overcome every move
ment that has been made to GUST
them.
The Manchus belong by language
and physical type to the Tungusic
group of Siberian peoples dwelling IN
Northeastern Asia between the Yen
esei river and the Pacific. Up to the
time of their conquest of China an
their subsequent assimilation Of Chi
nese culture, the Manchus were
known as a rude energetic and war
like people. They have since, how
ever, encountered the fate Of many
other conquerors, and have been grad
ually absorbed by those whom thelr
ancestors reduced to subsection. AL
though they are still rather larger in
physique than the rest Of the Chi
nese, their social characteristics
manners and customs have been so
Influenced that in these respects they
differ little from the other inhaSi

SAN FRANCISCO CAPITALIST
PROJECTS PHILIPPINE PLANTATION

Manila Cablenews-American A pre-.
liminary agreement signed in Manila
yesterday by A. A. Moore Jr., the
well-known San Francisco cApi.alist is
the precursor of another Investment of
American capital in Philippine prod
ucts.
At present those interested in the
enterprise propose to purchase a large
tract of agricultural land for the de-
velopment of a plantation along tie
most modern lines. Mr.. Moore, vino
has been in the islands less than two
weeks, heads the syndicate.
A number of tropical products will
be grown, including rubber and cocoa
nuts, and the culture of rice by west
ern methods will also be investigated.
While all the details have not yet
been perfected, it is reasonably GER
tain that the big deal will go through.
In discussing the transaction last night
