Philippines the ocean Jump to Midway while nearest of ehe Hawaiian Islands Is even greater — some 1700 miles Guam’s strategic value Is out of all proportion to Its size and population In area It Is

months and twenty days from the strait which bears his name Raided by Magellan The natives of Guam came to meet the Spaniards In strange “flying praos” (canoes provided with outriggers and triangular sails of mats) The Spaniards had dropped anchor furled their sails and were about to land when It was discovered thnt a small boat which rode astern of Jhe flagship was missing Suspecting the natives of having went himself It stolen Magellan ashore at the bend of a landing party of 40 armed men burned 40 or 50 and killed bouses nnd many boats male and feseven or eight natives He then returned to his ship male with the missing boat and Immediately his course to the set sail continuing westward The natives did not fare much betMister at the hands of later visitors sionaries came In IOCS Though Guam lies within the tropics Its climate Is tempered throughout the greater part of the year by a brisk trade wind blowing from the northeast nnd east Its mountains are not high enough to cause marked differof rain on the ences in the distribution Island and the Island Is nM of sufficient extent to cause the dally alterof known as land currents air nating and sea breezes Generally speaking the seasons conform In a measure with those of Manila the least rain falling In the colder months or the periods called winter by the natives and the greater rainfall occurring In the warm which are called summer by months the natives Though the mean monthly temperature varies only 2 degrees on either side of the mean annual temperature of Guam are so yet the "winters” definitely marked thnt certain wasps which during the summer make their nests In the open fields among the bushes Invade the houses of the people at that season and hibernate there The forest vegetation of Guam consists almost entirely of strand trees epiphytal ferns lianas and a few undershrubs The majority of the species are Included in what Sehlmper has called the Ilarrlngtonla formation The principal trees are the wild fertile breadfruit the Indian almond and the giant banyan How They Catch Fish The fruit of another common tree (Barringtonia the natives speclosa) use to stupefy fish The fruit Is pounded Into a paste Inclosed in a bag and The time of an espekept over night cially low tide Is 'selected and bogs of the pounded fruit are taken out on the reef next morning and unk In certain deep holes In the reef The fish soon appear at the surface Borne of them lifeless others attempting to swim or faintly struggling with their ventral side uppermost The natives scoop them In their hands sometimes even diving for them more Nothing could striking be Imagined than the picture presented by the conglomeration of strange shapes and bright colors — snakelike sea eels voracious lizard fishes hound

atmospheric air Native of Good Appearance are as a The natives of Guam rule of good physique and pleasing Owing to their mixed appearance from varies blood their complexion the white of a Caucasian to the brown of a Malay Most of them have glossy black hair which Is either straight or It Is worn short by slightly curly the men and long by the women either braided colled or dressed after the styles prevailing In Manila Though the natives of Guam are naturally Intelligent and quick to learn little was done for their education until comparatively recent years The college of San Juan de Letran was founded by Queen Marla Annaof widow of Philip IV who setAustria tled upon It an annual endowment of 3000 pesos Through misappropriation and dishonesty the annual Income dwindled to of the college gradually about 1000 pesos The greater part of this was absorbed bv the rector who was usually the priest stationed at Agana pnd by the running expenses of the school whlcjj were the and wages paid to Janisubsistence and the tor porter steward doctor lighting of the building The people are essentially agriculmasters and few are tural There As a rule few servants on the Island the farms are not too extensive to be cultivated by the family all of whom lend a hand even the little children Often the owners of neighboring farms work together In communal fashion one day oq A’s corn the next day on B’s and so on laughing singing and at their work and stopping skylarking whenever they feel so Inclined to take a drink of tuba from a bamboo vessel hanging to a neighboring coconut tree Each does his Bhare without constraint nor will he Indulge so freely himself for In tuba as to Incapacitate work for experience has taught the of temperance and every necessity one must do his share If the services are to be reciprocal In the evening to his own they separate rancho to feed his tmllock pigs and chickens After a godd supper they lie down for the night on a pnndanus mat spread over an elastic platform of split bamboo All Raise Crops None of the natives depends for hla livelihood on his handiwork or on There are men who can trade alone mnke shoes tan leather and cut stone for building purposes but such a thing as a Chamorro shoemaker tanner stone mason or merchant who supports his family hy hla trade Is unIn the midst of building a known stone wall the man who has consented to help do the work will probably say “Excuse me Senor but I must go to my rancho for three days the weeds are getting ahead of my corn" And when lime Is needed the native to whom one Is directed “may say “After I have finished gathering my coconuts for copra I will get my boys to cut wood and gather limestone to mnke a kiln Never fear Fenor you shall have your lime within six weeks" On one occasion a blacksmith was delayed two weeks In making a plow owing to the fact thnt the man from whom he got his charcoal had been so busy supplying visiting vessels with fruits and vegetables that he could not find time to burn It Agana the seat of government and town Is about eight miles principal from Apra'harbor a fine anchorage but closed to all foreign ships Guam Is a lonely spot seeing only an
