Impressive Fact In Nature Is Stiffness

Ancient roarings. thunderings Of pent-

energy of heat the exploding surfaces
of millions of suns so many times
larger and energetic than our sun,
itself 100000 times larger than the
earth, had to be hushed down into a
stiffness, quletude and silence TO make

around genial suns, giving out life-sus-

THE HOMELAND OF vIEHRA'S
ROYAL HAWAIIANS.
The Paradise Of the Pacific.

The climate of country and the
characteristics of Its people afe por-
trayed in its music. Most countries
and their peoples have their native mu-
sic. This is especially true Of the Al
pine Yodles and the native Hawaiian
music.
The climate of Hawaii is mild and
balmy and its people are loving and
kind. We say "Hellol" or "How do
you dor" they greet you with Aloha
--love, II love you being more lib-
eral Interpretation. The mild, balmy
climate of their native land and their
kind, loving dispositions find express
sion In every note and line OF their
music. They are passionately fond Of
music and sing of their work, their
mountains, their seas, their birds, and
their flowers. Being musical, they are
also poetical. Their verse abounds In
names and illusions to their myth0l-
ogy. the winds and weather, the seas,
ocean and mountains, In fact to every
thing about them. 4N El
They are vigorous, healthy people,
living most Of their time In the open.
Their principal pursuit is agriculture,
owing to the natural resources Of their
Islands. There are no minerals found
on the island, so there Is no coal for
manufacturing. Sugar is their main
crop, with pineapples second In I'm
portance. Like the South, they devote
their energy to one or two crops, but
are realizing more and more the neces-
sity of diversified cropping.
Mr.. vierra and his company are ma
tive Hawaiians, direct from the Para
disc of the Pacific, and are true to the
traditions Of their country. Hear them
while they are here on our lyceum
course.

HAWAIIAN MUSICAL INSTRu.
EE MENTS.

Much Of the beauty of the Hawaiian
music is due to the native instrument,
the ukelele pronounced oo-koo-lay-
lay). IN appearance It Is miniature
guitar but has only four strings and
Is played with a swinging motion from
side to side This method of playing
the instrument gives Ii It's name, we
are told, ukelele meaning bouncing
flea" The genuine Hawailan-made la-
strument is made from Koa or Kou
wood, which adds TO Its tone quality.
This wood is becoming very scarce and
is hardly obtalnable. The ukeleles
made in the States are manufactured
by guitar manufacturers from our ma
tive woods.
AS to the ancestry Of the ukelele,
It's grandfather was probabaly the
ukele, an Instrument made of bamboo
with coconut fiber for strings. After
the ukele came the taropatch, an in
strument of five strings which did not
become popular because IL was so diff
cult to tune. But the ukelelc seems
to be the successful outgrowth of them
both, and meets with the requirements
Of the native music.
The companion of the ukelele is the
steel guitar The natives began play
Ing the guitar years ago. but laying
the instrument across their knees, us

knife on the strings instead of the

In this way for years they discovered
that real hard piece Of steel pro-
duced a still better tone and now we
find them using this improved method
generally. The guitar is not made of
steel, as one might infer from the
name, but is only played with steel
