HUNTER TELLS AUSTRALIANS
ABOUT HIS HONOLULU TRIP AND
HIS VISIT TO THE STATES

Sydney Telegraph; THE Americans
are exceedingly anxious to learn
all about Australia, and il we were
only to spend a little money in the
United States we could do an i'm
mense deal in the way of attracting
tourists and business people to this
.Country-men who have money to in

risks"
This is the story Mr. Percy Hunter,
Director of the New South Wales In
telligence Bureau, who yesterday re-
turned by the Zealandia from Homo
lulu, whittier he had gone as an Aus
tralian representative to the Pan
Pacific Travel Congress, had to tell
"There can be no question about
the anxiety of the American to learn
all he can about the Commonwealth"
Mr.. Hunter said to a reporter of
THE Daily Telegraph" During the
last ten days of my sojourn in Homo
lulu l practically held a levee of peo-
pc who every day came to get de-
tailed information regarding business
and travel Although l took good
supply of literature with me / could
have done with ten times as much,
so keen was the desire to know all
about us here, SO that everything
from that point of view in connection
with the visit was most successful"
Did you adopt any special idea
for bringing the Comm; nwealth and
its resources under the notice of the
American tourist, OF the probable in

white is white and brown is brown
"And never the twain shall meet"
An interesting if unhappy romance
is reported from Kaimuh.
Ivan Kowsky, Russian immigrant,
went to work as yard boy in the dis
trict mentioned. At the place where
he worked young and comely native
girl was employed to do inside house
work.
Ivan fell in love with Kealoha and
asked her hand in marriage. The
girl apparently liked Ivan we'll
enough to take him as a life partner,
at least she made him believe so,
but being wise in her generation de-
ferred marriage until her boy had
saved enough money to start house
keeping.
So Ivan sought and obtained a
more remunerative job than he had
been holding, and in course Of time
managed to put by fifty dollars, with
which he purchased furniture and
other household gear.
One night he visited the girls
home for the purpose of fixing the
date of the wedding, but was told
that Kealoha had disappeared a few
days previously, though where she
had gone no one seemed to know.
Her people finally succeeded in To-
eating her somewhere in the city,
where she was living with a new
sweetheart, a native boy whom she
had known but a short time.
When Ivan heard of his beloved'H
unfaithfulness he bought him a
square-face of sandpaper gin, drank
it and then tried to end his troubles

SIX THOUSAND PETITIONERS FAIL
To MAKE SHOWING AND MEETING
IS ALL FOR MAHUKA SITI

Mr.. Castle quoted McCandless as
stating that there were $4,000 people
west of Nuuanu avenue and $4,000 east
OF that thoroughfare, and the majority
had some rights in the federal build
ing and it should not be removed too
far from them He said all would
agree that the Mahuka site was the
most convenient, and especially the
ladies in their shopping tours would be
able to get to the postoffice without
taking a car to reach the office as
they would if it was at the Irwin site.
Mr.. Castle referred to the idea Of all
public buildings at the civic center,
such as iails and insane asylums, also
police headquarters or the federal
building; the latter, he stated, had as
much right there as these others, be-
cause it should be in the business dis
tricts.
Referring to Judge Dole's letter and
the objection made to the noise, he
said there was fifty times as much
noise in New York, yet the courts did
business just the same.
Castle said in conclusion that the
federal building project was being
blocked, not by those who want the
Mahuka site but by those trying to
cause a change.
Representative Ed. Towse gave an
eloquent forecast Of Honolulu's coming
greatness as a city. In referring to
the site matter he said that it should
be we'll enough understood by this
time that under the spirit of the law
on contracts, the federal building was
likely to be on the Mahuka site Eek
cept in unforeseen events"
Delegate Kuhio did not commit him.
self to any choice. He declared him
self ready to work in Congress for
what the community wanted. He said
he had originally been an Irwin site
man, but the community had decided
the other way, and he had acted &C
ccrdingly.
George w. Smith was the last speak
err He was emphatically in favor of
the Mahuka site. One reason he gave
was the disturbances of having the
postoffice near the waterfront.
The meeting adjourned without any
one having spoken in favor of the
project alleged to be backed by a petit
ton bearing six thousand names of
voters.

The federal building site meeting
Yesterday afternoon on the Capitol
grounds was a small one and strongly
in favor of the Mahuka site, though
called as a result of the agitation to
abandon that site The five or six thou
sand persons supposed to have sign.
ed petition for a change did not show
up, and it was remarked that if there
we're a. genuine petition having six
thousand names on it, the Capitol
grounds wouldn't be able to hold the
crowd that would gather to back their
views.
The assemblage was very represen-
tative of Honolulu's leading business
interests. President Griffiths Of Oahu
College occupied the chair and intro
duced w. R. Castle as the first speak
err. Castle, as expected, favored re-
tanning the Mahuka site. He recalled
the former mass meeting, at the Young
hotel, at which the site was decided
upon by a unanimous vote and the
raising of $4,000 to open Bishop
street and make the site available.
"Now, why did the business men
unite upon the Mahuka site?" said
Mr.. Castle. Because it is by all odds
the most convenient to the business
center. 1t is often urged that the
difference of a few minutes does not
count, but when you want to send to
the postof1ce,, customhouse or inter-
nal revenue Office this is not so. 1t
means loss of time Of months in a
year for all of this time wasted. Bust
ness houses on Bishop street will be
we'll located in connection with the
Mahuka site"
Mr.. Castle spoke of the effort to
trade the Mahuka site and the indigna-
ton which followed. In the merchants
association there was a postal card
vote on the question, and the result
was forty-nine to eleven in favor of the
Mahuka site.
Now, gentlemen" continued Mr..
Castle, "the United States government
has made its choice, and the site has
been vested in the United States. We
are not considering the best site, but
why the site should be changed. Con,
gress is not considering it, the author
tiles are not considering it; but if we
ask for change they may say the
people out here don't know their minds
and don't deserve a building"

Sydney Telegraph: A company Of
dozen native vocalists, musicians. and
national dancers from Honolulu, intro
duced by the Australian Amusement
Company, opened concert season in
the Y. M. c. A. hall on Saturday night.
The party, which in under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Ernest Kaai, many-sided
musician, and an excellent organizer,
provided a unique and clever entertain
ment, so novel and pleasing that every
item of the programme was encored,
and in some cases double and treble
recalls were demanded.
The visitors, who include two ladies,
are all native-born Hawaiians, and APP
near in picturesque uniforms and in
stage surroundings, which assist the
idea of Arcadian romance, which the
peculiar character of the music, and
the traditions of their tropic home
suggest. For love and laughter appear
TO be the predominant themes of the
native Hawaiian music, touched here
and there with notes of haunting plain
tiyeness, decidedly charming. Several

anthem, both composed by the ex-
Queen Liliuokalani, and a fine sound

NEW FEDERAL BULLETIN TELLS
OF MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA

Farmers Bulletin No $50, printed
by the Department Of Agriculture and
received here in the last mail, con-
tains the following regarding malaria
and mosquitoes:
1t has always been known that ma
laria is most prevalent in the vicinity
of marshes, and it was formerly
supposed that the air or exhalations
from these marshes produced the
disease. Parasites of malaria have
not been found in the water or air
of marshes, nor in decaying vegeta-
ton, nor in the soil, although they
have been diligently searched for
Attempts to produce infection by
these agencies have always failed
the mosquitoes which carry these
parasites, however, breed in marshes
or in marshy pools and streams.
Issuing from these breeding places,
they enter nearby, houses and feed
upon the inmates, mostly at night,
biting. first one person and then 9TH
ers, and living for weeks or months.
If an infected person happens 10
be present in any of these houses,
the anopheline mosquitoes biting him
will also become infected, and the
disease is likely, ultimately to be car
ried by these mosquitoes to others
and to neighboring houses.
Thus a whole neighborhood soon
becomes infected and the locality is
called malarious. In such localities
it is easy to find the parasites of ma
laria in the proper mosquitoes. Some
times 25 per cent or more of them
are found to be infected.
In malarious localities the anophe-
line mosquitoes bite the healthy new
born children and infect many of
them.
| Such children if not thoroughly
treated may remain infected for
years. They may become anemic and
possess enlarged spleens, and of
course may spread the infection to
others.
In malarious localities almost
every child has been found to con-
tain the parasites of malaria or TO
possess an enlarged spleen.
In such a locality, therefore, the
infection is constantly passed on by
means of the mosquitoes from the
older children or from adults to the
newly born infants, so that the local
ity may remain mAlarious for very
many years, in fact indefinitely.
In the same way a newcomer arriv'
ing in such a locality will very prob
ably become infected, especially II
he sleeps in an infected house, even
for one night, at time when mosqui
toes are flying and biting, A locality
is malarious only when it contains
persons infected with the parasites
and also sufficient numbers of the
proper species of mosquitoes to carry
the infection to the healthy persons
The Malarial Mosquitoes.
There are in the United States only
three species of mosquitoes which
commonly carry malaria, namely
Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say
Anopheles crueians Wied., and Ano
pheles punctipennis Say severa
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-05-19

other species of Anopheles are occa-
sionally found, but are not important
malarial factors.
The anopheline mosquitoes are dis
tinguished from most other mosqui-
toes of the United States by the fact
that their wings are more or less
spotted, and that in resting on the
wall their bodies incline away from
the wall at an angle, while with most
others the body is parallel to the
wall. The females also have palpi
which are nearly as long as the pro-
boscis, or beak.
The Anopheles mosquitoes above
mentioned pass the winter as adults.
In the autumn they enter houses,
stables, barns, or other outhouses, or
seek other sheltered hiding places,
and remain there until spring. They
are often found in the winter in num-
bers in the cellars of houses, where
they may be killed by fumigation.
These mosquitoes, as rule, bite
only after shutdown. Anopheles cru
clans has on rare occasions been
known to bite during the day, as
has A. punctipennis. This has not
been recorded of A. quadrimaculatus.
They do not fly far. 1t is doubtful
whether any of these species ever

Breed in Standing Water.
These Anopheles mosquitoes breed
in all sorts of Accommodations of stand
ing water, in pools, springs, watering
troughs, in the footprints of cattle
in marshy land, and in marshes
where fish are not abundant, In
drains and cutters choked with grass
or weeds, in old boats along the
waterfront, in hollows in rocks, in
the backwaters of even rapid
streams, in earthenware vessels, in
water barrels and tubs in cesspools,
and all places carrying water accum-
ulations, whether pure or foul. Ano-
pheles crucians and A. quadrimacula.
tus have even been found breeding in
brackish water along the seacoast.
The minute, blackish eggs are laid
on the surface of the water and are
found floating on their sides singly
or in groups.
Their larvae do not hang from the
surface Of the water by the tail, as
do other mosquito larvae or "wrig-
glers" when at rest, but lie fiat at
the surface, with their heads turned
upside down, feeding upon minute
floating particles at or near the sur
face.
The growth is rather rapid, and
they may in midsummer reach full
size in two weeks after Matching.
When full grown these larvae
transform to pupae and remain in
this stage at the surface of the water
for three or more days, when the
adult mosquitoes issue.
