PROFESSOR WILL
MAKE STUDY OF
STORM EFFECTS

Honolulu, T. H.-The effect Of
storms and other atmospheric dis
turbances upon the climate, the
health, minds and activities of the
peoples of the Pacific and upon ag-
riculture and industry is being
studied here by DR.. Stephen s. Wish
er, associate professor of geography
at the University of Indiana, who
received the Bishop Museum Fell
lowship from Yale university this
year.
'sThe effect of storms upon ships
at sea has been studied extensively,
but little thought has been given
to the influence of storms upon the
health. minds and activities of
people IN the storm-swept regions, >
he said in explaining his work. ITO
this subject l will devote at least
a year of study in the Pacific is
lands, gathering together all the
known data, which, with my own
observations, will be published"
The Kona winds, the most severe
which reach Hawaii, will be OBJ
served very closely by Dr. Visher,
he said. These winds, mild form
of hurricane, strike the southern
part of the island of Oahu, known
as the Kona district, and, accord
ing TO Hawaiian tradition bring
sickness upon the inhabitants
1.-The Kona wind results from 4
difference in intensity, in low air
pressure areas" DR.. Visher ex-
,plained. 'If this wind is strong
enough to overcome the trade
winds, we have a strong southeriy
wind, sometimes called the sick
wind. because it is hot and de-
pressing. These winds travel from
so to 100 miles an hour in THIS re-
gion but. their velocity becomes
much greater near China and the
Indies"
DR.. Visher will spend several
months in the Fiji islands, study
ing the winds there and then will
proceed to the Tongan and Samoan
islands, returning TO Honolulu TO
assemble and complets his data for
publication.
