Large Donations to Foreign Missions. Two Portuguese Evangelists
It is gratifying to record that the collection at the Foreign Mission Rally
amounted to over $450. A cheque for
$10,000 also came in from the same
source as the pievious one for Home
Missions. We learn that some other
noteworthy cheques have been handed
in for different branches of the work of
the Board. In view of these large ad
ditions to their means, the Hawaiian
Board are feeling that the time has come
for material expansion of their work
along several different lines. The only
action as yet finally taken has been to
call Rev. Mr. Thwing, of the Presbyterian Mission in China, to come here as
colleague to Mr. F. W. Damon, our able
and devoted Superintendent of the Chinese Mission work. Other important
steps are in progress towards final adoption.
Home Mission Rally.
On the 4th of June, instead of the
usual annual sermon on Home Missions,
a Home Mission Rally was held in Cen
tral Union Church. Hymns were sung
in various languages by the Sunday
Schools of the Chinese, Japanese and
Portuguese Missions. Rev. John Lyd
gate talked on "Ways," showing the
need of an active superintendent of
work on each island. Rev. J. A. Cruzan
spoke on "Means." He told of the eminent Dr. Emmons having over-eaten of

Mr Silva also goes as a missionary of
the Hoard, making the fourth of the

Dr Bingham's Appeal for Forward
movement to Mindanao.
At the Foreign Mission Rally a prominent feature was the earnest appeal
made by Rev. Dr Bingham, who presided as Chairman of the Hawaiian
Board's Committee on Foreign Missions.
He urged that the time had come for
the rapid extension of missionary labor
westward from the Ruk lagoon, which
for many years has been the limit
reached in the Carolines.
It should
now go forward to Yap and the Pelew
Islands, and especially to the great
Island of Mindanao in the Philippines,
which contains over one million of
people, a majority of them barbarous
tribes.
Dr Bingham ably illustrated
his topic by a large map of the middle
western Pacific, which, when drawn
out, occupied the space in front of the
choir. There was also a fine map of
Mindanao.
In support of his appeal, Dr Bingham
read the following resolution lately
adopted by the Hawaiian Board :
" Resolved, That whereas, in the
wonderful providence of God, there has
been opened just now a door for centuries shut, a door to a very large island
of thirty-six thousand square miles,
Mindanao of the Philippines, bounding
Micronesia on the west, and so comparatively our near neighbor, and now
under the American flag, inhabited by
one million people, among whom there
cannot be found a single Protestant
missionary, or a Bible translated into
any of the various languages of the
island, save one, and that spoken by a
small Malay tribe, this Board should
make known to its constituency its great
desire to enter this door at the earliest
possible date, and to co-operate, if
feasible, with the American Board in
the immediate evangelization of Mindanao.
At the call of the Portuguese Congregational Church, A. Y. Soares, pastor
a Council of ministers and churches
assembled at the Portuguese Church on
the 10th of June, and examined Messrs
Joseph Durao and Ernest da Silva.with a
view to ordination. The result was
satisfactory, and the ordination proceeded in the same church on the afternoon of Sunday, the 11th, in the presence of a large congregation. Rev.
A. Y. Soares preached the sermon.
Rev. S. E. Bishop offered the ordaining
prayer. Rev. O. P. Emerson gave the
charge to the candidates, and Rev. W.
M. Kincaid the right hand of fellowship.
Rev. J. A. Cruzan, as Moderator, presided.
Mr Silva was converted from Roman

had developed high character and intelligence under the instruction of Pastor
Soares and Professor Leadingham, of
the North Pacific Mission Institute.

Spanish traditions of that season.
Spain we consider the Christmas and
analogous festivals of great importance
in introducing ourselves and our work
to the community about us, many of
whom would be attracted to these entertainments who would not dare to come,
or who, perhaps, would be indifferent
about coming, to our ordinary religious
meetings. Here we sought rather to
introduce ourselves to the French Protestant community about us, with which
we naturally come in contact. We provided for these an entertainment of recitation, songs, and discourses in English, French, and Spanish. This so
pleased the active young pastor of the
Protestant Church of the neighboring
city of Hayonne that he urged us to
favor their Christmas festival that took
place three days later with a visit of our
girls, who would take part in their service of song. We hired a car of the
local railway train, which in half an
hour took the entire school and a few
friends of Biarritz to Bayonne.
The
church was filled with some three hundred eager spectators, and when their
time came for our girls to sing, which
they did in Spanish, it made a deep and
favorable impression on the French
audience.
It was indeed an historical event this

city of France, t iking active part in a
public religious service. It seemed pro
phetic of the time when Spain shall
send out her Protestant missionaries
full of the fresh and vigorous life of a
young and enthusiastic Evangelical
faith to France and other European
countries, and to all the world.
We
have no doubt that the spirit that is
being developed and trained in many
of these girls and in all of our congregations in Spain is exactly that which
is needed to revive and strengthen the
historical Protestantism which is found
to day in every European country with
the exception of Spain.
It is also a pleasant and significant
circumstance that thirty years ago, im
mediately after the revolution that drove
Cjueen Isabella from the throne, and
opened Spain to the Gospel, the Rev.
Mr. Nogaret, then Protestant pastor of
Bayonne, and the predecessor of the
present pastor, for two or three years
had in his house a class of young
Spaniards under training for evangelical
mission work in Spain, most of whom
later took full courses of theological
study in Geneva and Lausanne. Among
the girls who sang at this Christmas
festival in Bayonne were daughters and
nieces of those young men.
Although the home of the American
missionaries is for the moment just
beyond the Spanish frontier, our hold
upon the entire field is not in the least
relaxed, nor the superintendence of it in
any way diminished.
We now come
and go among the stations with as
much freedom as before the war, and in
some respects our relations with our
Spanish colleagues are more intimate
and confidential than ever before.
It was a day of great rejoicing when
Mrs. Gulick reached us on the 18th of
last February.
She can h :rdly yet
realise all that happened during her
abseuce. To-morrow she and I set out
on an extended tour among our stations
in Spain. We cannot say anything at
this moment as to the time when the
school shall be removed to Spain,
though that is now a positive part of
our plan for the future.

Dr. Stangenwald Gone.
Our old friend, "the good physician,"
Dr. Hugo Stangenwald, passed from
among us in the early morning of June
Ist, at the age of 70. He had been in
feeble health for several years, and latterly had given up practice. Dr. S.
came here froTt Germany, by way of
California, in 1850, and for several years
was the chief photographer of Honolulu.
Many prized daguerreotypes and ambrotypes of those days remain to attest his
skill. After a few years of study in New
York and Vienna, Dr. S. returned to
Honolulu, where he soon established a
lucrative practice. His first wife was
Miss Mary Dimond ; his second, her
sister, Anna Maria, who survives her
husband. No children survive. The
Doctor wss a devout Christian. He inspired a strong personal attachment in
many of his patients, especially in the
old mission families. He was able to
indulge a taste tor elecincal and chemical studies, having gathered what was
for many years the best set of apparatus
west of the Rocky Mountains. He was
familiarly known as "Uncle Doctor" by
all the children of the Dimond and Wat-
erhouse connection, all of whom mourn
his departure. The Doctor's estate,
valued at $67,000, most worthily goea
to his widow.
Death of
Queen Kapiolani.
After several years of failing health,
the Dowager-Queen Kapiolani has
passed on. She departed this life on
the morning of the 24th, as the result
of a third stroke of paralysis a few days
previous.
Kapiolani, who was named after the
noble chiefess who braved the wrath of
Pele in 1824, was born at the end of

who so hospitably entertained the early
missionaries at VVaimea, and whose
great personal comeliness she inherited.
Her first husband was the chief Namakeha, whom she accompanied to the
Marquesas Islands in the Morning Star
in 1857, where he went ..s a delegate of
the Mission.
She married Prince
David Kalakaua at the end of 1863, and
became Queen by his election as king
in 1874.
In Mny, 18S7, she attended the
Jubilee of Queen Victoria, accompanied
by the Princess Liliuokalani, and was
received by Victoria with Royal honours.
They were also the guests of President
Cleveland in Washington. Upon the
Kings death in 1892, a profound
mourner for her husband, she took up
her residence in Waikiki.
K->piolani was a true and loving wife,
possessing purity of character and great
sweetness of disposition. With less of
the stateliness of her great namesake,
whom the writer well remembers, she
possessed the same dignified sweetness
and even more of personal comeliness.
She was unostentatious and benevolent.
To her is due the institution of the

Germany Buys the Caroline Islands.
It is announced that Germany pays
Spain 25,000,000 pesetas, or about
$5,000,000, for the Caroline, Pelew, and
Ladrone Islands. Spain retains three
coaling stations, one in each group.
The " Washington Star" states that
duiing the Peace conference at Paris,
"acting
under the representations of the
submarine cable interests, as well as
from the missionary element, the Ameri-
can Commissioners offered a million for
Ualan (Kusaie), and the trade was
under way when it was broken off
through the additional demand by Spain
for favored treatment in trading with
Cuba and Puerto Rico."
The German rule in the Carolines,
according to the experience of our missionaries in the Marshalls, will not be
adverse to their labours and aims,
although not quite as favorable as that
of the British in the Gilberts. The
removal of the Spaniards from Ponape
will doubtless now reopen that suffering
island to the welcome labours of our
American missionaries.

Expert Opinion on Hawaiian Coffee.
ilwy o.
Koh&aHl iRoaC
Under the above designation, the formidable rival of Mr. Dillingham's intended railroad from Hilo to Hamakua,
obtained sole possession of the route
Mr. Dillingham having withdrawn from
the competition. The company organized by the latter gentleman will now
confine their effort! to the speedy construction of railways from Hilo to Olaa
and eastern Puna, for the needs of the
two mammoth plantations in those (lis
tricts. Apparently, by the new arrangement, and the accession of capital from
abroad, Hilo will enjoy an earlier completion of the desired roads, which must
add immensely to the commercial importance of that port. That the railway
will ever extend beyond Hamakua into
Kohala does not seem clear. It seems
impossible that any freight should ever
take that part of the route.
Saloons, Jails, and Poor-houses.
Clement Routier is acknowledged to
be one of the best coffee experts in
Paris.
A formal report has been received from him, in which he says :
" The sample which you have sent
me shows a coffee of superior quality
on account of the nature of the soil
which produced it.
I class it in the
category of choicest coffee, similar in
all respects to the coffees of Martinique
and Guadeloupe, whose reputation is
universal.
Hawaiian coffee takes rank as a coffee
rich in calTein, has the aroma of Mocha,
but less mellow (moms dc douceur).
This coffee prepared without mixing
with other kinds is perfect. If it is
mixed with one fourth or one tilth part
of Mocha coffee, boiled separately, ii
becomes a veritable nectar."
Our own experience has been thai

cinders was vastly superior to that
In Pittsburg, a mining town in
southern Kansas, for example, the city
government licenses a number of
saloons in direct defiance of the State
statute that prohibits their existence,
and the proceeds, upward of $1300 a
month, are devoted to the support of
the schools. At the same time Pittsburgh furnishes an unanswerable argument for the enforcement of the prohibition law, lor its police expenses and
the dockets of its Police Courts are
larger than those of any other town of
similar size in the State.
That is the universal rule. Wherever
there is a dry town the police force is
idle, and the police court sits but once a
week. In the wet towns it sits every
morning, and has plenty to do.

which I was privileged to make in the
island of Kauai in the interests of the
Mission was most interesting and inspiring. There seems to be quite an
awakening among the Chinese in
Waimea and the neighboring district.
The devoted workers of the Salvation
Army have gathered a number of these
Chinese into a " corps," and are doing
a good work among them. The evangelist placed in this region by the
Hawaiian Board, Mr Joseph Aiu, a
graduate of the North Pacific Missionary Institute, is also laboring here

aging to see how these two divisions of
the great army of Christ" are working
harmoniously together for the uplifting
and enlightenment of those from " the
Land of Sinim." Most generous help
and support and co-operation is extended
to these workers by the Waimea Foreign
Church, whose able pastor, Rev. Mr.
Massie, has shown the warmest and
most brotherly interest in all efforts fur
the Chinese and other nationalities. It
was a great privilege to meet with our
Salvation Army friends and others in

Mission some time since by Messrs Gay

the interior is one of the most attractive
on the islands.
A beautifully finished
pulpit has recently been placed in the
church, of a fashion to suggest to loyal
Scotchmen the pulpit of the kirk where
they were guided in the right way in
their early days. The church was
brilliantly lighted for an evening service, the hymns though in different
tongues weie sung with a will, and a
spirit of deep and loving sympathy
seemed to pervade the assembly, so that
we all felt that it was good to be there.

Wireless Telegraphy Between Islands.
Two months ago Thh Friend was the
first to point out that Marconi's system
of wireless telegraphy was adapted to
give efficient telegraphic communication
between the islands of the Hawaiian
group. It is therefore a satisfaction to
learn that Mr. P.J. Cross is moving to
establish such communication at an
early date. The rate to be charged is not
to exceed five cents per word. From
Oahu to Molokai is 30 miles ; from Molokai to Maui, 10 miles; from Maui to
Hawaii, 20 miles ; from Oahu to Kauai,
61 miles. This last is a greater distance
than any hitherto overcome by this system. We have the advantage of numerous elevated points near the"coasts
which are to be thus connected. Such
elevations are absolutely necessary.
The reader should be aware that actual
flashes of light are shot to a given point,
as flashes of search-light are, only the
light is of a peculiar kind, invisible to
the human eye. It cannot be obstructed by rain, smoke or fog. It requires a
peculiar form of receiver to detect its
presence. The apparatus is not complicated or costly.

Large Donations to Foreign Missions. Two Portuguese Evangelists
It is gratifying to record that the collection at the Foreign Mission Rally
amounted to over $450. A cheque for
$10,000 also came in from the same
source as the pievious one for Home
Missions. We learn that some other
noteworthy cheques have been handed
in for different branches of the work of
the Board. In view of these large ad
ditions to their means, the Hawaiian
Board are feeling that the time has come
for material expansion of their work
along several different lines. The only
action as yet finally taken has been to
call Rev. Mr. Thwing, of the Presbyterian Mission in China, to come here as
colleague to Mr. F. W. Damon, our able
and devoted Superintendent of the Chinese Mission work. Other important
steps are in progress towards final adoption.
Home Mission Rally.
On the 4th of June, instead of the
usual annual sermon on Home Missions,
a Home Mission Rally was held in Cen
tral Union Church. Hymns were sung
in various languages by the Sunday
Schools of the Chinese, Japanese and
Portuguese Missions. Rev. John Lyd
gate talked on "Ways," showing the
need of an active superintendent of
work on each island. Rev. J. A. Cruzan
spoke on "Means." He told of the eminent Dr. Emmons having over-eaten of

Dr Bingham's Appeal for Forward
movement to Mindanao.
At the Foreign Mission Rally a prominent feature was the earnest appeal
made by Rev. Dr Bingham, who presided as Chairman of the Hawaiian
Board's Committee on Foreign Missions.
He urged that the time had come for
the rapid extension of missionary labor
westward from the Ruk lagoon, which
for many years has been the limit
reached in the Carolines.
It should
now go forward to Yap and the Pelew
Islands, and especially to the great
Island of Mindanao in the Philippines,
which contains over one million of
people, a majority of them barbarous
tribes.
Dr Bingham ably illustrated
his topic by a large map of the middle
western Pacific, which, when drawn
out, occupied the space in front of the
choir. There was also a fine map of
Mindanao.
In support of his appeal, Dr Bingham
read the following resolution lately
adopted by the Hawaiian Board :
" Resolved, That whereas, in the
wonderful providence of God, there has
been opened just now a door for centuries shut, a door to a very large island
of thirty-six thousand square miles,
Mindanao of the Philippines, bounding
Micronesia on the west, and so comparatively our near neighbor, and now
under the American flag, inhabited by
one million people, among whom there
cannot be found a single Protestant
missionary, or a Bible translated into
any of the various languages of the
island, save one, and that spoken by a
small Malay tribe, this Board should
make known to its constituency its great
desire to enter this door at the earliest
possible date, and to co-operate, if
feasible, with the American Board in
the immediate evangelization of Mindanao.
At the call of the Portuguese Congregational Church, A. Y. Soares, pastor

assembled at the Portuguese Church on
the 10th of June, and examined Messrs
Joseph Durao and Ernest da Silva.with a
view to ordination. The result was
satisfactory, and the ordination proceeded in the same church on the afternoon of Sunday, the 11th, in the presence of a large congregation. Rev.
A. Y. Soares preached the sermon.
Rev. S. E. Bishop offered the ordaining
prayer. Rev. O. P. Emerson gave the

Spain we consider the Christmas and
analogous festivals of great importance
in introducing ourselves and our work
to the community about us, many of
whom would be attracted to these entertainments who would not dare to come,
or who, perhaps, would be indifferent
about coming, to our ordinary religious
meetings. Here we sought rather to
introduce ourselves to the French Protestant community about us, with which
we naturally come in contact. We provided for these an entertainment of recitation, songs, and discourses in English, French, and Spanish. This so
pleased the active young pastor of the
Protestant Church of the neighboring
city of Hayonne that he urged us to
favor their Christmas festival that took
place three days later with a visit of our
girls, who would take part in their service of song. We hired a car of the
local railway train, which in half an
hour took the entire school and a few
friends of Biarritz to Bayonne.
The
church was filled with some three hundred eager spectators, and when their
time came for our girls to sing, which
they did in Spanish, it made a deep and
favorable impression on the French
audience.

city of France, t iking active part in a
public religious service. It seemed pro
phetic of the time when Spain shall
send out her Protestant missionaries
full of the fresh and vigorous life of a
young and enthusiastic Evangelical
faith to France and other European
countries, and to all the world.
We
have no doubt that the spirit that is
being developed and trained in many
of these girls and in all of our congregations in Spain is exactly that which
is needed to revive and strengthen the
historical Protestantism which is found
to day in every European country with
the exception of Spain.
It is also a pleasant and significant
circumstance that thirty years ago, im
mediately after the revolution that drove
Cjueen Isabella from the throne, and
opened Spain to the Gospel, the Rev.
Mr. Nogaret, then Protestant pastor of
Bayonne, and the predecessor of the
present pastor, for two or three years
had in his house a class of young
Spaniards under training for evangelical
mission work in Spain, most of whom
later took full courses of theological
study in Geneva and Lausanne. Among
the girls who sang at this Christmas
festival in Bayonne were daughters and
nieces of those young men.
Although the home of the American
missionaries is for the moment just
beyond the Spanish frontier, our hold
upon the entire field is not in the least
relaxed, nor the superintendence of it in
any way diminished.
We now come
and go among the stations with as
much freedom as before the war, and in
some respects our relations with our
Spanish colleagues are more intimate
and confidential than ever before.
It was a day of great rejoicing when
Mrs. Gulick reached us on the 18th of
last February.
She can h :rdly yet
realise all that happened during her
abseuce. To-morrow she and I set out
on an extended tour among our stations
in Spain. We cannot say anything at
this moment as to the time when the
school shall be removed to Spain,
though that is now a positive part of
our plan for the future.

Dr. Stangenwald Gone.
Our old friend, "the good physician,"
Dr. Hugo Stangenwald, passed from
among us in the early morning of June
Ist, at the age of 70. He had been in
feeble health for several years, and latterly had given up practice. Dr. S.
came here froTt Germany, by way of
California, in 1850, and for several years
was the chief photographer of Honolulu.
Many prized daguerreotypes and ambrotypes of those days remain to attest his
skill. After a few years of study in New
York and Vienna, Dr. S. returned to
Honolulu, where he soon established a
lucrative practice. His first wife was
Miss Mary Dimond ; his second, her
sister, Anna Maria, who survives her
husband. No children survive. The
Doctor wss a devout Christian. He inspired a strong personal attachment in
many of his patients, especially in the
old mission families. He was able to
indulge a taste tor elecincal and chemical studies, having gathered what was
for many years the best set of apparatus
west of the Rocky Mountains. He was
familiarly known as "Uncle Doctor" by
all the children of the Dimond and Wat-
erhouse connection, all of whom mourn
his departure. The Doctor's estate,
valued at $67,000, most worthily goea

After several years of failing health,

of a third stroke of paralysis a few days
previous.

She married Prince

Germany Buys the Caroline Islands.
It is announced that Germany pays
Spain 25,000,000 pesetas, or about
$5,000,000, for the Caroline, Pelew, and
Ladrone Islands. Spain retains three
coaling stations, one in each group.
The " Washington Star" states that
duiing the Peace conference at Paris,
"acting
under the representations of the
submarine cable interests, as well as
from the missionary element, the Ameri-
can Commissioners offered a million for
Ualan (Kusaie), and the trade was
under way when it was broken off
through the additional demand by Spain
for favored treatment in trading with
Cuba and Puerto Rico."
The German rule in the Carolines,
according to the experience of our missionaries in the Marshalls, will not be
adverse to their labours and aims,
although not quite as favorable as that
of the British in the Gilberts. The
removal of the Spaniards from Ponape
will doubtless now reopen that suffering
island to the welcome labours of our
American missionaries.

Expert Opinion on Hawaiian Coffee.

Under the above designation, the formidable rival of Mr. Dillingham's intended railroad from Hilo to Hamakua,
obtained sole possession of the route
Mr. Dillingham having withdrawn from
the competition. The company organized by the latter gentleman will now
confine their effort! to the speedy construction of railways from Hilo to Olaa
and eastern Puna, for the needs of the
two mammoth plantations in those (lis
tricts. Apparently, by the new arrangement, and the accession of capital from
abroad, Hilo will enjoy an earlier completion of the desired roads, which must
add immensely to the commercial importance of that port. That the railway
will ever extend beyond Hamakua into
Kohala does not seem clear. It seems
impossible that any freight should ever
take that part of the route.

Clement Routier is acknowledged to
be one of the best coffee experts in
Paris.
A formal report has been received from him, in which he says :
" The sample which you have sent
me shows a coffee of superior quality
on account of the nature of the soil
which produced it.
I class it in the
category of choicest coffee, similar in
all respects to the coffees of Martinique
and Guadeloupe, whose reputation is
universal.
Hawaiian coffee takes rank as a coffee
rich in calTein, has the aroma of Mocha,
but less mellow (moms dc douceur).
This coffee prepared without mixing
with other kinds is perfect. If it is
mixed with one fourth or one tilth part
of Mocha coffee, boiled separately, ii
becomes a veritable nectar."
Our own experience has been thai

In Pittsburg, a mining town in

government licenses a number of
saloons in direct defiance of the State
statute that prohibits their existence,
and the proceeds, upward of $1300 a
month, are devoted to the support of
the schools. At the same time Pittsburgh furnishes an unanswerable argument for the enforcement of the prohibition law, lor its police expenses and
the dockets of its Police Courts are
larger than those of any other town of
similar size in the State.
That is the universal rule. Wherever
there is a dry town the police force is
idle, and the police court sits but once a

morning, and has plenty to do.

Chinese Mission Notes.
Knowing that many readers of the

of mission work among the Chinese

which I was privileged to make in the
island of Kauai in the interests of the
Mission was most interesting and inspiring. There seems to be quite an
awakening among the Chinese in
Waimea and the neighboring district.
The devoted workers of the Salvation
Army have gathered a number of these
Chinese into a " corps," and are doing
a good work among them. The evangelist placed in this region by the
Hawaiian Board, Mr Joseph Aiu, a
graduate of the North Pacific Missionary Institute, is also laboring here

aging to see how these two divisions of
the great army of Christ" are working
harmoniously together for the uplifting
and enlightenment of those from " the
Land of Sinim." Most generous help
and support and co-operation is extended
to these workers by the Waimea Foreign
Church, whose able pastor, Rev. Mr.
Massie, has shown the warmest and
most brotherly interest in all efforts fur
the Chinese and other nationalities. It
was a great privilege to meet with our
Salvation Army friends and others in

the Chinese Chapel, kindly given to our
Mission some time since by Messrs Gay
and Robinson, and to hear the earnest
testimonies given by those who wish to
be on the Lord's side. Again a singularly inspiring Union meeting was

the interior is one of the most attractive
on the islands.
A beautifully finished
pulpit has recently been placed in the
church, of a fashion to suggest to loyal
Scotchmen the pulpit of the kirk where
they were guided in the right way in
their early days. The church was
brilliantly lighted for an evening service, the hymns though in different
tongues weie sung with a will, and a
spirit of deep and loving sympathy
seemed to pervade the assembly, so that
we all felt that it was good to be there.

Wireless Telegraphy Between Islands.
Two months ago Thh Friend was the
first to point out that Marconi's system
of wireless telegraphy was adapted to
give efficient telegraphic communication
between the islands of the Hawaiian
group. It is therefore a satisfaction to
learn that Mr. P.J. Cross is moving to
establish such communication at an
early date. The rate to be charged is not
to exceed five cents per word. From
Oahu to Molokai is 30 miles ; from Molokai to Maui, 10 miles; from Maui to
Hawaii, 20 miles ; from Oahu to Kauai,
61 miles. This last is a greater distance
than any hitherto overcome by this system. We have the advantage of numerous elevated points near the"coasts
which are to be thus connected. Such
elevations are absolutely necessary.

the human eye. It cannot be obstructed by rain, smoke or fog. It requires a
peculiar form of receiver to detect its
presence. The apparatus is not complicated or costly.
