HISTORY SPAWNED TO-DAY.

! Hundreds of wears of Hawaiian history are
spanned today in the Pan-Pacifc Pageant. In the
van of the long line of floats there appears tableau
depicting the coming of the first human beings to
Hawaii Centuries back in the dim history of the
Pacific Poynesians in their great canoes of war and
commerce followed the fight of the seabirds, north
ward from Samoa over trackless waters by the light
Of the sun and the bright shining of the stars. Those
sea-birds unerring pilots of the deep guided the
first natives to Hawaii.
This incident is told again in Of the floats to-
day. Another float depicts the nltramodern Ha-
waii. This is the contribution of the Aero Club of
Hawaii Youngest and one Of the most promising of
island organizations. Within few months, the sky
Of Oahu will be dotted with the aeroplanes of the
new aviation squadron strange, hinge birds TO guide
destnes in the future as the birds of the guided

of the air is recognized in the coat of of the
Aero Club which shows slim, trim pilot.brd flash.
ing high in air above the islands.
Between the years SPAWNED in history by these
floats is the story Of Hawaiis emergence from bar.
barisn its opening to the light of civilization the
growth of industry and a whole host Of allied de-
,velopments.
This Pan-Paciic pageant carries out to large
degree the idea advocated by the Star Bulletin two
years ago and again last year. A pageant of his
torical nature is bound to prove not only pictures
que but of much permanent value The contribu-
tons of various societies. schools and clubs to the
peopling of the floats is also in line with suggestions
made in previous years 1t is gratifying to how
effectively the idea has been worked out and parti-
cuarly how the various organizations have cooper
atcd in supplying the human material for the power
