part Of what the attacking flying corps has
done; it often happens that the raider does not

French airmen have been brought down it is
impossible tc state; the French give out no

that give vivid impression of the dangers run
by the bombarding section of the flying corps.
Captain D. was about to take the air for a

preparing a shell at 1900 meters high when he
awkwardly let it fall upon the frame. The

THE PAGEANT AND A PEOPLE.

To the tourist the Hawaiian pageant given
at each Carnival is one of the fete's events
that at the time is most attractive and that
stands out in memory as most significant OF
Hawaii
The tourist soon learns upon coming to the
islands that the land of half-clad hula girls
and natives pounding poi in grass-hut villages
does not exist The sort of country he has
often pictured as Hawaii never did exist. 1t
was developed in imagination by inaccurate
descriptions in old biographies by the conyen-
lent but misleading souvenir postal-cards and
by writer's who, having come to Hawaii, felt 1t
incumbent upon them to send back long screeds
telling of nude natives singing and dancing
under palm-trees or upon coral shores. Much
of the detail might have been correct, much Of
it was incorrect, but the point is that the gen
eral effect was highly Inaccurate
Yet there is in Hawaii splendid body OF
Legendary romance, poetry, fantasy and fable
There is also history teening with color and
rich with spectacle and song. Much OF 1t is
legendary and much of it is OF proved anthem
ITCHY Most of this mass of history tradition
is wonderfully adaptable for the purpose of pa
geants The present series of pageants dates
back only few years, but already has done a
valuable work in reviving the days of old, In
renewing the fastfading memory of past glor-
les and achievements. These pageants thus
serve double purpose that of annual Car
nival Week or Kamehameha Day features, and
that of definitely preserving the legends and
history of "a people,
The color and movement of the pageant as
given yesterday was of deep interest to Wis
itors here It should have been and could have
been still further developed; the action nm
folded in more detail; the plot more nearly fol
lowed out. The Carnival management with
some system of permanent organization could
carry from year TO year ideas as we'll as equip
ment and make the Hawaiian Pageant perhaps
the chief feature Of the entire week. 1t is one
Of the features that Nice or New Orleans OF
Pasadena or Portland cannot possibly repro
duce-a feature which, highly developed, can
bemade in five years worldfamous.
