Tho Hawaiian Language.

' 1IS rTdxF41l0Si k.dfs8NS39s
 The language of Hawaii Is very sim pie. To one who hears 1t fer the first time comes the conviction that the ab- or1gines expressed their sentiments in primitive vowel sounds, to which some ccnsonants have been added. Each vowel is sounded as in Latin, and the words are easily pronounced by one who is patient and wishes to speak distinctly. The pronunciation will be all the better if the speaker will draw out, almost draw1, the vowel sounds. for which reason the language is well suited to the dolefu1 Hawaiian vail say Heo-noo-1uu-luu and let the word sing itself.
