selves to heights of 6.000 to 7,000 feet.

I asked a young niece of my own
who lately left Honolulu what birds
visited their grounds three miles up
the valley road. and she. tells me:
"Java sparrows, rice birds, and
those squawklng myuahs. The last
eat up all our young figs and grapes
unless we throw the tennis nets over
them.
That watching at birds which is
eSSential to a knowledge of their life
history has. indeed. been impossible
to most visitors to Hawaii.
And now that. annexation is giving
an impetus to the development of the
country's resources, the inevitable de-
struction to its forests, even it the
birds themselves do not perish with
the trees that sheltered and fed them,
is driving them up to, still more lunc-
cessible heights and wooded depths
