Fine Moving Pictures

The moving pictures this last week
have been excellent; instructive,
artistic, and entirely free from OBJ
lection from the point of view Of
taste or morals.
The Burton Holmes studies of AL
geria, in color, were a revelation of
the beauty of that country, and of
what the French have done for it in
the way Of engineering; roads bridges
and the like.
The story films were also fine in
their artistic and educational value;
the one, a story of the Desert, after
the manner of the Garden of Allah,
picturesque and graphic, in charac-
ter, costume and event; the other, "a
stirring historical romance of the
Indian Mutiny, involving much of
the story of that great crisis, exceed
ingly well rendered. Such pictures
are both intertaing and instructive
and deserve neatly commendation.

Kaahumanu Day

The Kauai kaahumanu Society,

with appropriate services at Kapaa,
on which occasion Rev. |. X. Kaa-
uwai preached the sermon eulogis-
tic of the character and virtures OF
the patron heroine of the society.
Following the service there was a
generous palma" or feast, after
the true Hawaiian style, which APP
pealed to great many who would
not have gone across the street for
the services
The local organization has some
50 members most of whom were
present on this occasion. Mrs. H.
X. Kahele is president and Mrs.
Chris Holt secretary.
On official occasions, such as this,
the members wear black holokus
with yellow badges and yellow leis,
and they make a very stunning ap.
pearance.

A Romantic Career

A very picturesque and interest
ing figure passes off our Hawaiian
stage with the death of Judge John
Lot Kaulukou. the father of A. G..
Kaulukou of Lihue, in Kona week
or so ago, at the mature age of rs.
His life reads like romance, full
of variety and change, running all
the way from peddling oranges up
to the Attorney-Generalship. He
was at various times district magis-
trate for Koolaupoko; member of
legislature for several terms, part of
the time speaker of the House; he
was secretary to the Hawaiian dip
lomatic services in Japan, in which
capacity he helped to secure Japa-
nese labor for the Islands. He was
sheriff of Hawaii; postmaster gen
eral; attorney general for the short
term of ten days; marshall of the
kingdom; practising lawyer; and
finally district Judge again, in Kona.
And through it all most genial
and graceful gentleman of the older
Hawaiian type.
The story of his life, told in de-
tail, with all the realistic touches,
would be a most fascinating romance
of the days of the Kingdom, a time
now rapidly fading away into the
mists of oblivion

COMPOSITION
CONTEST: RESULTS

Owing to delay in securing results
from one or two of the schools, the
decisions on this contest have been
unduly held up, but now at length
we have them.
The successful contestants are: -
First prize, gold nib fountain pen,
Violet Mladnich, 7th. grade, Ka-
paa. Second prize, glass nib foun-
tain pen, Frida Lohr, Sth. grade,
Koloa, with honorable mention for
Toru Wrabe, Kalaheo. and Rose
Padgett, Makaweli.
Unfortunately several Of our large
schools did not compete. Those en-
tering the lists were Kekaha, Maka-
well, Eleele, Kalaheo, Koloa, and
Kapaa.
The examining committee regret
that some of the contestants did not
confine themselves more closely to
the subject assigned. They sort of
ratified around loose in the various
and many things that might be said
about the Island in a general way.
However, the efforts do much
credit to the children, and we thank
them for their cordial cooperation
with us in the matter.
We will publish number of the
essays from time to time.
