the visitor. One of the most noted of the Island 
temples is that of Wahaula, near Kalapana, in 
Puna. Standing on a bluff rising from the sea, 
it is said to have been built by a famous Samoan 
priest, builder of other sacred edifices on the 
island. The main portion is about 132 by 12 
feet in extent, with an outer enclosure. In the 
main portion was once a large grass house for the 
priests. A splendid model of this heiau is on ex¬ 
hibition in the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. 
At Laupahoehoe (leaf of lava), in the district 
of North Hilo, there were many heiaus, for here 
was to be found in abundance the rock most favor¬ 
able to construction. 
Rich in Hawaiian history and folklore, Lau¬ 
pahoehoe, like Kalapana, is a place beloved of 
such as delve into the myths and legends, the 
manners and customs, and the unwritten history 
of Hawaii’s past. 
At Honaunau, in the Ilona district, 110 miles 
from Hilo, is to be seen one of the largest and 
best preserved “cities of refuge,” also many old 
temples and burial caves. The Kona section em¬ 
braces thousands of acres of coffee. Ivailua, the 
landing place of the first missionaries (1820), is 
now a rendezvous for game fishermen. Kona is 
the most tropical district in the Territory. The 
Kan district, most southern section of the island 
chain, is remarkable for its lava flows, some of 
recent date. 
SOME NEARBY ATTRACTIONS 
There are many attractions in and around Hilo 
city. To the north are the Akaka falls, 500 feet 
high. Coconut Island, with its ideal sea bathing, 
is within a few minutes of town. A mile out of 
the city is a waterfall forever wooing rainbows 
and bearing the title it lives up to—Rainbow 
Kails. The Boiling Pots are a series of rock 
basins in regular terrace form through which the 
river successively appears and disappears, boiling 
up in huge, rocky cauldrons. 
Pour miles from Hilo are the gigantic Kau- 
mana caves, continuing for many miles under the 
lava flow of forty years ago. Six miles from 
town are Onomea Bay and Onomea Arch, a pretty 
settlement and a mighty cathedral-like window 
in a verdure-clad promontory. The Kali a Stone is 
an interesting relic shown near Hilo’s public 
library. The moving of this stone by Kame- 
hameha the Great is said to have led to his con¬ 
quest of the islands (completed in 1795, except 
for Kauai, which later came into the union volun¬ 
tarily) .
