tramway officials say that this would
be unfair to the men who have been

the only way In which they will take
their former employes back is Indi-

Strike, however, will not be taken
back on any condition, the company
has stated.
Mr. Hunter said that the sight of

lived on the Island of Samoa four
years before hia death.
Distances between the Islands were
measured by hours, not miles. These
charts are but' little used now, but
there was a time when each young
chief, was compelled to pass his exam-
ination In the charts, knowing them by
heart, as they never were taken to sea.
Some students say the sticks represent
currents, as there are four distinct
sets of swells from f<«tr quarters of
the seas at various seasons of navlga
