Some Pleasant Excursions. ..... -
Honolulu is the center from which
many pleasant excursions may be
made, but the best one is the auto ride
around the island of Oahu, which con-
sumes nearly an entire day. The first
striking scene on this ride is the view
from the Pail, precipice 1900 feet
high six miles from town, which is me-
norable in Hawaiian history as the
place over which the great Kameha-
meha drove to their death the King OF
Oahu and his army Today this fear.
some precipice is guarded by stone
wall, but so fierce is the blast which
sweeps through this narrow gorge
from the windward side of the island
that only strong men can walk against
it. The view from the Pail is one of
the great views of the world. On the
right is the open mass of rocky noun

rolling and is like a huge checker

Of sugar cane, pineapple and rice
with occasional squares of brilliant red
earth. On this ride the tourist is

cane fields and rice fields and pineap-
pie plantations. Everything is new
and strange, including the cosmopoli-
tan crowd that is seen working in the
fields. Here are representatives of

The fish in the famous aquarium at
Naples. 1t is useless to attempt to de-
scribe these queer finny creatures, as
no one who has not seen them will
believe that fish can be so strangely
marked. All the primary colors are
represented in these fish, which have

Next to the aquarium in interest is
he Bishop museum. which boasts of
he finest collection of exhibits illus
rating old Hawaiian life. DR.. William
T. Brigham has spent over thirty
1ears in making this museum the
greatest of its kind in the world. The
