MAN WHO INVENTED
UKULELE IS DISCOVERED

HONOLULU. T. H., Jan. al. n.
S,)--The man who is responsible in
large measure for the ukulele, that
best loved and most loudly cursed of
all musical instruments, has been
discovered.
He is Joao Fernandez, an aged
Portuguese residing in Horolulu
Forty-two years ago he arrived In
Hawaii from the Island of Madeira,
bringing, among other thongs, a
ukulele, 1879 model.
Mr.. Fernandez tells of how people
were first amused at the little instru-
ment; then how King Kalakana, of
the then Hawaiian monarchy, asked
that the instrument be played before
him. and how it soon became popular
for dance music as well as for sere-
nadng, an art introduced by the
Portuguese.
The akulele, which Is Hawaiian
for jumping flea" is known in Port
ugal, its native country as the ca
vaquinho, which means literally
small piece of wood" according to
Fernandez.
The father of the ukulele trade In
Hawaii was one Manuel Nunes, whose
factory was the first in the islands
for the production of ukuleles alone.
The Hawaiians were fifteen years in
developing the present style of uku-
lele music, Fernandez says, but now
every Hawaiian has his instrument,
whether or not he has a shirt on his
back" He believes that the craze
for an instrument has ruined good
many Hawaiian boys, who throw
aside work and all else to play.
