TO go to little trouble to find out

other fellows Say So" and lose out.
And while we are talking about it,
did you ever hear anyone say that Ho.
nolulu is the most satisfactory sum-
mer resort on the earth's surface, and
then hear Joe Brown say:-"Oh, non
sense! It's hot as blazes there Look
where it is on the map! No, I've
never been there, and l don't want to
go there-there are plenty of places
nearer home to swelter I'M" And did
you side with Joe Brown?-without
stopping to think that there might be
such a thing as a TRADE WIND put
ting in its time somewhere around in
that vicinity from January first to
December thirty-frst? And did you
ever go to the trouble of inquiring to
what extent a trade wind could dis
count spot on map?
Well, here are few watermelon rinds
for you. Watermelon rinds and off
cial reports are proof positive, aren't
they? The maximum temperature OF
Honolulu during the year 1911 (Which
is typical year, as you can discover
by consulting recOrds,) fell on Sep
TENDER 23rd, and was S5 degrees.
The mean temperature for the months
June, July, August and September was
1853 degrees. There were only five
days during the entire year in which
the thermometer registered above "a
degrees.
And the reason for this is that same
trade. wind that we were talking
about, which keeps a constant cool
breeze swinging down from the noun
tains, through the town, and ont
across the purple sea. Not boisterous
gusts; but just a gentle swinging,
lswaying breeze, that keeps the CO.
coanut and palm trees waving softly
back and forth, and the banyan leaves
and scarlet hibiscus blossoms fiutter-
of using fan, nobody has the siesta
habit, nobody wears a pith helmet, no
body has ever been sunstruck. The
nights are always cool enough for
light blanket, and sometimes for two;
and when you go up into the noun
tains, you need a sweater after the
stop to rest If you like bathing, you
can have the water any temperature
that you choose. Go in at seven
O'Clock in the morning, and you stand
on the beach and think about it and
dabble your toes for a while, and wait
for two or three big waves to chase
you, before you make the real plunge;
and you come out feeling as if you
could jump over a house. If you go
! in between ten o'clock and five
o'clock, it is so warm that you stay in
for two hours, wrestling with your
surf-board, until you wife and moth
er-in-law track the sand and the at
mosphere all up waiting for you TO
come out and go to a pink tea But
if you go in by moonlight, you never
know the temperature of the water at
all;-yo are too busy just being gla
you're alive.
There's golf, tennis, tramping, fish
ing, motoring, swimming and surf
boating all the year around; and not
a snake, nor a poisonous plant, nor an
insect that bites you harder than a
wasp, on the entire group of islands.
And then there is the volcano A wise
and well-known scientist who was over
here the other day, said There is
only one thing the matter with that
volcano,-it isn't advertised enough"
If you would just once chuck Joe
Brown and come over here, you would
help us advertise it for the rest OF
your natural life, -y you couldn't
help it.
Now these are just few of the wa
termelon rinds-others have eaten
the melon; but the crop hasn't been
gathered in yet,-and never will be
