ests many. No doubt there are hun
dreds of persons who still believe that
some of the fish are "hand-colored."
F. A. Potter. who is in charge of the
fish exhibit, said that much trouble
has been experienced in bringing the
fish from Honolulu to San Francisco in
ffirst-class condition and that many of
them had either died on the way or
after they had been placed in the
tanks. This probably accounts for the
present smallness of the aquarium and
the slender collection of fish. How
ever, the aquarium is attracting hun.
dreds daily.
New SIidee Needed.
A few up-to-date "slides" of native
and street life in Honolulu, and some
reels of motion pictures which are
not quite as ancient as the ones now
being shown, would greatly improve
the lecture room.
The ,diOramas, one depicting Waikiki
beach and the other the Pail, are hard
ly up to the standard. 1t is the opin
ion of many island residents that the
interior of the building would he great
ly improved by their removal AS it
is now, the dioramas present a mass
of stucco. and color that convey little
or no impression to the visitor.
The exterior of the. Hawaii build
ing doubtless will be very beautiful
about June or possibly earlier. The
building itself is tiny alongside the
massive structures such as the food
products ~or California building. A
board bearing the word "Hawaii" and
stuck in the ground in front of the
building is all that lets the visitor
know where he is. The majority of
the other buildings are. situably in
scribed. 1t seems that the Hawaii
building should rank with them in this
respect

motion picture and stereopticon views,

interest in the Hawaii building Ha-

Vice-President Marshall visited the
building about two weeks ago on a
tour of the exposition grounds. He
was met by Resident Commissioner
and Mrs. H. P. Wood, Commissioner
and Mrs. Bertram G. RiYenburgh and
