but the fact remains that the attention
of Governor Wilson will be called to
the good qualities and administrative

Of their friends will doubtless be in

Anybody in Honolulu would be per-

TRUST in ROD
OF DIVINER
IS UNABATED
Converts of Rev. Mr.. Mason
Are Still Digging for Water
on Island of Lanai

Notwithstanding his scientific eX-
communication by United States hy-
drographers, the Rev. Mr.. Mason of
New Zealand has not lost particle of
the confidence of those that enlisted
his services as a diviner Of hidden wa
ter In these islands. They are follow
ing his advice in going deeper with the
, well on Lanai. and they are going to
dig on Oahu just where he has sensed
water. ~.
"The indications are increasing" 4"
said Cecil Brown this morning when
asked for the latest news from the
well on Lanai Mr. Mason advised
us before leaving by all means not to
stop digging. He thought water would
be found below the rock where we are
now blasting. =
1T is very important to get water
at that elevation, because whenever it
is struck there pumping will be
stopped The elevation there is 1,200
feet above sea level" ...
Speaking Of Mr.. Mason's exploration
of HONOLULU ranch, H. NJ ven Holt
said this morning. as H.. III. :
Mas0n's Methods. - ~.
Strange as it may seem, Mr.. Mason
does not look in the beds OF gulches
for water He finds water athwart
the gulches and on the ridges. This
il in accordance with his experience
in New Zealand Without any sugges-
ton from us local people, he pointed
out locations of water in the places
that were anciently the centers Of
large population. 1t was the same on
the Island of Lanai. Where he point
ed out places there, the natives said
that formerly there were large settle
ments surrounding the spots.
No digging has yet been started on
Honouliuli. but wells will be sunk
there in the places indicated by Mr..
Mason"
Mr.. Won Holt stated that he himself
had been using the divining rod for
more than score of years. In some
cases on Lanai where the stick turned
in his hands, Mr.. Mason said it was
not caused by water but probably by
some mineral. He placed the evidence
of sensations produced in his arms by
water above that of the divining rod,
as in only two instances in New Zeal
and had water not been found where
he said it should be, and in these his
advice to dig deeper was not taken.
Uses Of the Rod.
Mr.. Mason uses the rod to indicate
the depth at which water should be
struck. This he does by carrying on
the divination beyond the spot first
sensed to a point where the rod again
pulls.
1t is. curious coincidence Of Mr..
Mason's photographic mission to Ha-
wall that he should first have been in
terested in the divining rod by a for
mer statesman of the Hawaiian mon
archy. This was DR. Hutchinson, who
was minister of the interior at the
time that Bishop Staley was introduce
ing the Anglican church in these ISL
ands. He was very positive charac-

,dicated by the record of the Honolulu
divorce mill handled By Circuit JUCeo
Whitney during the year 1912, for il
shows that of the 234 instances OF
matrimonial infelicity. aired publicly
in his courtroom only sixteen couples
had been married less than a year.
Twenty-seven couples had been mar
ried for three years. But ninety-nine
of the dissatisfied couples mad been
united for more than five years.
The absence of children in the
homes of these men and women to
whom conjUgal live with .caCsen help
meets had become intolerable is Il
noticeable feature disclosed by the
years divorce record. In 131 cases
there were no children of issue; in
twenty-nine instances there was only
one child, and the number of III
stances in which larger numbers Of
offspring were involved in the urr
happy marriages dwindies until it is
found that CT those unfortunate
couples who sought legal separation
only five had more lhan live children.
