Permission is given to publish articles from the Mid-Pacific Magazine In Hawaii every possible stream is used for irrigating sugar cane, and often from the cliffs to the edge of which the cane grows may be seen leaping cascades to the gulches or sea below. Taro root and coconut are the foods of the Hawaiian. Both are beautiful in their growth. When each is reflected in the placid waters of the taro patch there is a vision of loveliness which one finds only in Hawaii. )itumntoular==rimn:===%_ *cumnEnInoimumuarcaolummazoza=======min rcuirommaa=comatazonu=a Even within the city limits there are water falls, many of them of extreme beauty. Sometimes there are a series of such cascades as seen in this picture, one above the other, extending a mile or more into the higher valleys. Fortunate is the resident in Hawaii who has a banyan tree in his yard. The branches of these trees sometimes spread over an acre and give the greatest protection to hundreds who gather under the great extending arms. In days of old wherever a chief camped fbr the night in his travels a coconut was planted. Here on the coasts of Hawaii two chiefs must have met. A single coconut tree is often met with on the coast of the Hawaiian Islands. ISCar.rimuarmism= 4 On all of the Hawaiian Islands splendid mountain trails have been cut and both the visitor and those to the manner born may wander for days afoot or on horseback far up into the mountain regions of the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian small girl is just as fond of her daily swim in the sea as is her brother and ofttimes she excels him in the gentle art of swimming and diving.
