A UNIQUE AERIAL
RADIO IN HAWAIIAN ISLAND. A radio antenna which spans a taro patch, loops through a papaia tree and crosses the roof of a grass hut, was a discovery made near Honolulu by tourists recently. According to the visitors, who had snapshots to verify their story, the aged Hawaiian occupant of the hut, Mrs. Lukia Meaekana, hears radio programmes from the Pacific Coast any time she wants to tune in. The set is installed in a tiny wooden shack in the rear of the grass-thatched dwelling, which is located on the windward side of the Island of Oahu.
