$300. less in poll taxes than does Col

dollars reams a little high, and we
would suggest that the amount in

may aeom, tbo Mandora formerly re
garded tbo shark as being the Mend
and protector of all tbooo who pay him

the eoaat of tbo main Islands of the
Hawaiian group formerly bad its pa
tron shark, whdae name, place of

known to his anperatltioaa worshipers.
The biggest and moat celebrated of
them shark divinities was a male,
whose month waa so lar^e thnt b-*

separate toe different Islands, bat
spent his tone swimming aroand the
