May | FRE WALKERS NEBR T0 DEATH Garments Ignite While Giving Exhibition at Berkeley. Spectators Extinguish the Blaze and Save Per- formers. BERKELEY, May 21.—Two swarthy skinned natives of Tahiti, a priest and his wife who have come to America—| to give exhibitions of the ancient “fire- walking” ceremony of their tribe, tip- toed today in their bare feet over a btz bed of redhot stones, and then, at |the moment when a crowd of awe- struck spectators was about to breeak into cheers for the uncanny feat, a tiny | wisp of flame shot up from the glow- ing coals beneath, set fire to the flow- ing mats that encircled the walsts of the fire walkers, and for a few mo- ments the Tahitlans seemed doomed. Tragedy was apparently to be the {outcome of what was intended,to be a | merely welrd spectacle. Women |screamed in terror, as the flames |flashed over Priest Puhia Apthaun! lana his wife. The “fire walkers” who had successfully traversed the redhot stones, with no injury to their bare | feet, were dazed by the unexpected |sequel to their journey, and apparent- |1y helpless, certain to die. Fire Chief James Kenny and Post- Schmidt, who were in the {crowd, broke through the barriers that |separated the helpless performers from the spectators, and throwing both of the Tahitians to the ground, covered Ithem with their coats. The quick wit [of the Berkeley men undoubtedly saved the lives of the islanders. They would | have been burned fatally but for Ken- {ny and Schmidt's action. | The priest's wife suffered severs | burns on her neck and arms and hands. Her feet, which had pressed the red- hot stones, were not so much as seared {by the contact. Priest Puhia Api- ‘hanui sustained some slight burns on is hands, but was not otherwise hurt. |11is bare feet showed no indications of having just traversed a bed of |glowing stones. | The Tahitians are representatives of | the old fire worshipers of the South !Kea Islands. The rite of walking In ire feet over hot stones has been | master My ‘That His With {practiced there and in the Orient fo centuries. Priest Puhia and his wife are nearly the last of the race whicr, 1in Tahiti has practiced thhe rite. They ihave been brought to America by Prince Tauraatua Salmon, under whose direction their performance will be given throughout the country. The affair in Berkeley today was a sort of dress rehearsal. Priest Puhia is about 50 years old. His wife is a few years younger. They |lolled contentedly on the grass this oon, in a vacant lot at Rose and ove streets, where a big fire beneath lot of stones had been burning for eral hours, waiting the signal from Ince Salmon for their march across The stones are voleanic origin, porous. Ordinary nes would crack and split when 1bjected to the Intense héat used for | the fire walking rite. When the expert Ip the stones to be made, of In charge of the! announced that all was ready,; t Puhia and Mrs. Puhia placed wreaths of eucalyptus leaves In their hair, wrapped white fibrous native ts around their waists, picked up bundies of banana leaves and wild flowers, carrying the latter in one hand 1 a native spear in the other-and roved forward. It was the fibroud mats that almost proved the undoing |ot the priest and his wife, For ten minutes the islanders stood before the fire, chanting prayers to the deity who is supposed to protect,them from harm as they walk in the fire. |Then the banana leaves were used to smite the ground, three times, before the bed of rocks, and that ceremony |ended, the priest and his companion {stepped forward, blithely moving along | iover the glowing stones. | They seemed in no especial hurry. Their feet apparently were not affected by the terrible heat from the fiery rocks. The performance would have been completely successful but for the vagrant wisp of flame that set fire to |Mrs. Puhia’s costume, and was com- {municated instantly to the priest's in- [flammable ornaments. When the blaze {that enveloped them was finally ex- \tinguished, thhe Tahitlans accepted |congratulations from the crowd, and |were taken In a carriage to their resi- idence at 2024 Ashby avenue. | Dr. Carpenter of Alameda, County !Health Inspector, attempted to test the {lieat of the stones just hefore thhe fire walkers stepped on the pile of rocks. He held a thermometer capable of reg- | istering as hign as 390 degrees Fahren- heit, suspended by an fron pole over | \the stones. The heat was so flerce that | the thermometer broke when brough | cloge to the rocks. There could be no ' ,doubt of the fact that the stones over | E“-hlrh the barefooted Tahitlans pranced really were warm.

WASHINGTON, May 21. — The postoffice appropriation bill will take care of the Oceanic mail service in the manner provided by the ship sub- sidy bill, which passed the Senate but is apparently sidetracked in the House. The BSenate committee on postoffices and post roads, believing that there is no chance for the ship- | ping bill to pass at this sesslon, has taken from that measure this pro- vision: “From a port of the Pacific Coast of the United States via Hawall and the Samoan Islands to Australasia, on steamships of the United States of not less than 16 knots speed, for a service once In three weeks at a maxi- mum compensation not exceeding $217,000 a year in addition to the com- pensation now provided under the ex- isting contract for ocean mall service between this country and forelgn ports.” Under the shipping bill eleven routes e subsidized, but the| Oceanic service is the only one in ex- | istence that the committee says ebso- : lutely demands at this time compen- | sation in addition to that provided by existing contracts. The committee expects to conclude its consideration of the bill on Thurs- | day next and report it to the Senate. 3.

Oh, brilliant land of girlhood days, Dear, sunny, flower-decked slopes, Though miles of desert stretch between And blighted He your hopes, We love thee—how we love thee, And shall, while life will last, E'en though thy beauty perish And be withered in the blast. Undaunted will thy native soms With hearts of oak, courageoud, true, Lift up thy drooping goldea head And crown thelr Queen anew.

Later she was a member of the McKee Rankin Stock Company at the old California and the Alcazar theaters. She also appeared with Clara Morris in 2 memorable production of “Rence de Moray.” .In the role she then played Marion Young achieved the triumph of her stage carecer.
