how that sounds rather like Scripture.
but guess it's all right.
Now the Naha Stone is SOME
STONE, believe me. You know the
legend about it don't your It was
that whoever could move 1t would
become king Of the Island Of Hawaii,
but whoever could overthrow it, would
become king of all the group. have
often wondered how many people had
shot at oyerthrowsng that stone. and
how al the Shadows in Chiefdom must
have boakted that they were going to
do the trick. Perhaps the delightful
word ~staing originated from their
failures, but be that as it may, the
task was assayed and accomplished
BY Kamehameha the Great, only he
was q young chief in those days. And
now the stone has been moved by the
enterprise Of the citizens of HiIo who
know how to value their relics, and
lies here for all to see. BY the way,
/ have adapted the whole story in
pamphlet form. from Rev. Stephen
Desha's brilliant translation, and
those who care to have copies may
get them at the Hilo Library.
In the Land Of Legend
Go up to the upper bridge crossing
the Waikiki river Here you come
into the land of legend at once, for,
on the nlakai side of the bridge,
against the river bank, lies Maui's
famous canoe, while on the mauka
side are the twin falls known as the
Death Falls. ! am coming to Maui's
canoe in q moment or so.
You viii, of course, go to the Rain
bow Falls They are only short mile
up Waianuenue street, and even the
tourists always go to Rainbow Falls.
Take my advice and get up early
when the day is fresh and the sun is
low in the eastern sky. Then shall
you find the falls at their best, and
wreathed Ger with rainbows innumer-
able. promised to say something
about Maili's canoe. Maui was pow.
erful demi-god. and the son of the
Goddess Hina, whose home was in the
cave behind the Rainbow Falls. Hina
used to make tapa cloth all day and
as she grew old she could not work
so fast ana failed to get it dry before
the sun went down. Maui was an
pealed to for aid, and thereupon
Matched his famous plot for lassoing
the sun. While he was performing
this feat on the summit of Haleakala,
he heard his mother calling him in
anguished tones, so dashed down the
mountain side and jumped into his
canoe to go to the rescue. The rest
OF the story is known to all lovers
OF this land. so need not be told to
readers Of the Star-Bulletin.. but the

Dutch are afraid the movement may
do actual harm. Switzerland and

With Fcrd's money TO support it,
indications are that the tribunal may

that the war brings. II was attended
by almost every military person quar-
