FORMER PENSACOLA GIRL
WRITES INTERESTINGLY OF
CHRISTMAS IN HAWAII.

! The following extract Of a letter re-
ceived from Mrs. Phillip Kohn Doro-
thy Bingham) in which she tells of an
| interesting Christmas spent in Hawaii
will be read with much interest by
many pensacola friends Mrs. Kohn
| is the brilliant daughter of Mr.. and
( Mrs. It. f. Bingham and has been
spending the past year in the islands
where Captain Kohn is stationed. A
fresh enthusiasm and an observant
nature with a charming gift of ex-
preston make Mrs. Kohn's letter un-
usually interesting. Evidently she is
the same jolly, delightful girl, ready
for any interesting adventure, that she
was before Captain Kohn took her
from Pensacola as his bride about a
and a half ago.
Fort Ruger Honolulu, Dec, 20.
Now that the Christmas excitement
is over I viii write you about our holt
days. / didn't know Christmas in
Hawaii could be so nice and more than
that-have so much pep in it. Christ
mas is like our Mardi Gras exactly.
They celebrate with parades. confetti
and mobs on the streets we rode
down through the town to see the
crowd before going to the Generals
at home. We spent the morning
with Colonel and Mrs. Malcolm Young
and then went to a big Christmas
dinner that one of the companies gaye
at the Battery. All Of the officers Of
the post and their families were in
vited and we had a jolly time, to say
nothing OF a big feed. About five In
the afternoon we motored out to Fort
Il a 1at1a 10
by Colonel Wake. It was a lovely re-
eeption and dance and every one in
the Artillery was there. Have a swim
most every afternoon, a set or two OF
tennis and some bridge. That doesn't
sound much like Christmas but it's
pretty agreeable anyway. We have had
some interesting trips. One of them
took US to the most historic spot on
most of the islands, the Pala. The
Pala is a pass between two of the high
est mountains in the chain back of
Honolulu. This pass is so feet
wide and is where King Kamahameha,
the Great, made the final and decisive
blow that led to uniting tie islands.
He forced the enemy over this peak
and at the foot of the mountain and
beneath the pass lay the greatest mass
of human bones I have ever seen or
hope to see, although Kamehameha
came from one OF the other islands,
he conquered and united them all
making Honolulu the seat of the gov
eminent and now he is the national
hero of every Ha, allan. Between this
range of mountains and the Pacific
there is ten miles of level land the
most perfectly cultivated land on the
island, the Libby, Libby and Mcneil
pineapple plantation. Before it seemed
unreasonable TO think that most of the
pineapple supply was produced on this
one plantation, but after seeing the
place it isn't TO be wondered at Look
ing down one sees the word Libby
formed of growing pineapples
The view from Pala is wonderful
beautiful country, mountains, and the
ocean.
The drive to and from Pala was de-
lightful On either side of the road
there are worlds of ferns. palms, flow

LISTENING TO FISH TALK
Do fish talk

1}0 Ai~il tctIA
 Recent speculation about a monkey language gives rise to this even moro startling theory. hinted at by Dr. AL cXander Graham Bell in communb.a-
 ton to the National Geographic so- ciety.
 Did you ever put your head under water and chuck two stones together to see what they sound like" Dr. Bel writes. If you have never done that try it. and you'll get a new sensation di dit once. and it sounded as if a man were hammering for all he was worth at my very ear.
 q then took two tiny little pebbles and tapped them together quite lightly under water. sad it sounded like man knocking at the door, Il was rather startling to hear such loud noise from such a slight cause.
 "Retecting upon various expert mcnts, the thought occurred: If two little stones tapped together can he beard under water, why every tiny lob ster which snaps his claws must make an audible click ] wonder if there are creatures in the water that sigma! l. one another bs aound2 Well, had occasion to try 1t once
