flying at an altitude Of 5000 feet,
which is more than 10000 above
sea level, when it struck am air

vision and he had no idea where he
was. When he realized that manip-
ulation of his controls produced nc

that his plane was falling with it,
with it's wings at right angles to the
earth. Carefully he reversed his
controls, fearing that too quick .

Several times he did that At last
he felt them take hold.
Just then the clouds thinned and

peacock fans over her, while kahili
bearers stand motionless at her side
holding the royal kahilis., feather
topped standards. No person is per-
mitted to pass behind Her Majesty
nor must the shadow of any human
being fall upon her
In the years Immediately following
the overthrow of her monarchy, Queen
Liliuokalani struggled bitterly against
the fate that had befallen her. Her
attitude toward Americans was hos
tile. But age has healed these
wounds and today her constant advice
to her people is that they be loyal to
the country that has adopted them
The former Queen has in recent
years occupied herself largely with lit
erary labors. She is the author OF
both the words and music of aloha
Oe" the Hawaiian song that is now
wellknown in the United States. She
wrote it as a farewell tribute to her
brother King Kalakaua, and it is
matter of grief to her that the song
is being syncopated and played irrev-
lerently as dance music on the main
land
Most recently Liliuokalani has been
assisting the Rev. Henry Parker, a
native minister. in compiling die
tionary of the Hawaiian language. for
which an appropriation was made by
the territorial legislature. They al
ready have compiled about $4,000
words, several thousand of which
iLiliuokalani has defined in English
and Hawaiian. with all the finer
shades meaning and accentuation. The
difficulty of the work is that many
Hawaiian words have a dozen differ
event meanings. depends upon their
juxtaposition to other words and upon
gestures and infections.
