I It was at this wonderful beach that the late Queen LUIuoknlani received the Inspiration for Hawaii's best known song, "Aloha Oe," or "Fare well to Thee." She was then a prln-i -ss, and visited Maunawili ranch with a party from the Hawaiian court. On the day of leaving all the visitors were decked with garlands of flowers. One of the men lingered behind to say good-bye to a girl who lived at the ranch. They walked part down the beach; there was a kiss, and the princess witnessed the scene. On the way back to Honolulu Lllou knlnnl persistently hummed a tune over and over again. She said a mel ody was going throuch her head, and she was seeking words for It. She whs thinking of that leave-tnklnsr on the white sands of Maunawili. Near Honolulu the party rested, and the princess sang bit of the melody. The phrases in the chorus of "Aloha Oe," "one fond embrace." and "until we meet again." had their basis In the scene on the beicn. At the palace the princess wrote uown the notes and the words, and the melody wtu. later arranged by Henri Merger, master of the royal Ha anan band.

Elaborate Preparations are being made both here and at Zabreb. the Croatian capitol. for the anointing and crown in of King Alexander and Queen Marie as king and queen of the Kingdom of the- Serbs. Croats and Slovenes, which will take place this summer. The monastery of C.itche Is being restored for the purpose. The cere mony will follow the Serbian prece dents, but several features will be adopted from the ancient ceremon ial of the Croatian kings, before Croatia been me an appendage of the house of Hapsburg. The foreign cuests at ttrt corona tion will be a sharp reminder of the changes In the royal families that have occurred as a result of the world war. Itut the house of Hohen zollern will be represented through the Slgmnringen branch, which la reigning in Rumania. Queen Marie of Serbia Is a daughter of Queen Marie of Rumania. One of the dethroned kings who will attend the ceremony, on the ground of relationship to Queen Marie of Serbia, la ex King George of (ireece. who Is married to Queen Elizabeth. Thus the family of Marie of Rumania, called the "Mother-in-Law" of the Balkans, will be repre sented at the ceremony by two reigning and one deposed king. A Ilalkan soverign who will not take part In the festivities will be ISorls, king of the Unitarians. It Is extremely unlikely that Horis, relgn fn.g over a defeated people, will be asked to mingle with the conquer ors, each of whom now holds terri tory that belonged to Ilulgarla be fore the war. The event will be made all the more notable because It will mark the thousandth anniversary of the first kingdom of Croatia. LEST WE FORGET The quality of Watkln's products Is unquestionable.

"If any one lives here long enough be becomes stamped, as It were, with the character of the city. "In the hotel where I am stopping one of the dining rooms has a variety of song birds. It Is a pretty Idea, but see how It works In New York. Up my way the birds are the first awake In the morning. The poets have bad a lot to say about the habit and a moral lesson bus been drawn, something about getting the first worm. "Now, In my hotel, one of the largest and most fashionable -In town, the birds slug all night. The music .sets the pace. All evening and late Into the night you hear their voices. The music and the crowd are there until the small hours of the morning, and sometimes till nearly daylight, and the birds ac commodate. Vhen the rauslc stops and the crowd leaves the birds get to sleep. "The dining room Is' not used until shnnt three In the afternoon and the birds sleep 'undisturbed. P-ut at the Brst note of the Jan orchestra they all bepin to pl up. In other words, tin early bird hns been corrupted In New York so that It sleeps every day till Inte afternoon. What kind of a worm docs he expect to get at that bourr Builds Miniature Rail Line on Country Estate W. Cecil Gage, retired broker, of Fishklll, N. T., bas Just completed a twc-mlle miniature railway system, which he has constructed with hi ewn hands entirely from odds and ends found' lying about his estate. The tracks and switches were made from the floor beams and the cars and locomotive from the parti tions of dismantled farm buildings. Ashes from the family furnace served as ballast for the tracks. A gasoline motor to run the locomotive and wheels for locomotive and cars are the only parts ot the system that are not homemade. Mr. Gage began constructing his lit tle road five years ago In order to supply himself with an easy way of disposing of ashes. He has been steadily adding to It since then until now he has two miles of track, live passenger cars, two flat cars, a freight car, eight switches, four crossings equipped with warning signs, a turn table, a snow-plow and half a doxen stations. At night and during severe weather a long chicken house serves as a "roundhouse" for the protection of the rolling stock. The road Is used to carry farm products, firewood and similar mate rials about the estate as well as to take the children of Flshklll nnd the surrounding, towns for Joyriding. Mr. Gage estimates hi yearly mileage as something above 10,000. The tiny cars attain speed of 20 miles an hour or "more on straight runs, and. al though several thousand persona have been rorrted as passengers, there never has been an accident. Popular Science. Drinking Toast Dates Back to Pagan Times Just as nutmeg, spices nnd so on are still sometimes put Into such a drink as "punch," so In the olden days a common custom was to slip a mite of toasted bread into a glass of ale with the Idea that the taste was thereby Improved. .And so It came about that a drink was called a toast. The custom of drinking to someone really date from the old pugnn days when sacrlliK-s used to be made to the gods. Later on an offering of wine was made Instead, its red color typi fying the actual blood of the real sacrifice. Later still men made their offerings not to the gods but in honor of a friend. So our ancestors would drink a glass or toast In honor of someone, and the person honored was as often ns not culled a toast for short. roll 'Blehiz-ieaJly c&LIFOrNIA OREGOTM 1 POWER.

PHONE 471 Stone-Age Men in Africa Sir Harry Johnston tells of a tribe In Venya, South Africa, who wander among dense forest and gome-haunted wilderness. "The trine, the Ando robo, reproduces In a most striking manner the life which we may suppose to have been led by our far-away an cestors In the earliest Stone Ages." lie says. "They lead. In fact, very much the life that the most primitive types of man led in Great Britain and France In the far back days of big animals, pos sibly before the coming of the glacial periods. "They live entirely by the .chase, often consuming the flesh of birds and beasts uncooked. Though they com mit considerable devastation umong the game of the province, they are a picturesque feature when encoun tered." Detroit- News. - Mystery in Turkey Name Tradition hns It t hat the first turkey was brought to England by one of Se bastian Cubot's chief lieutenants. This Is supported by the fact that William Strickland, who accompunled Cabot on several of his voyages, adopted a turkey rampant as Ills crest on being granted amis In 1!m1. Exactly bow the turkey got his name Is mystery. Some authorities sug gest that the bird christened Itself by constant reiteration of n sound that resembles "turk-turk turk." The bird's succulent meat was so highly esteemed by Sixteenth century churchmen, thut by Archbishop Cran mers order, only "one dish of turkey cocks" was permitted at feast and banquets. Detroit New.
