Daisy" the African elephant in
the Kapiolani Park Zoo. in Homo
lulu, has developed into complete
copra plant, according to recent
visitors to the bungalow in the
park where Daisy lives.
Visitors say that the big pachy-
derm has developed the husking Of
green cocoanuts to a fine art. with
q speed Of one every two minutes.
It usually takes a novice at husk-
ing cocoanuts anywhere from ten
minutes to an hour to break into
one with a hammer and chisel.
Daisy's interest in her new IN
dustry lies in the fact that when
tho cocoanut is husked she cracks
the shell and allows the sweet
milk to trickle down her elephan-
tine gullet

was buried in BuTdette cemetery Tues

her kind and generous disposition has
made her beloved by all who knew
her. She was always foremost in all
of the benevolent enterprises of the
community, as ardent church worker
and a friend to all. She loved her
family and was a faithful wife and
loving mother. She leaves to MOURN

daughters, two brothers and a sis

Our homes crumble day by day,
And we are laying dear ones
