IS LAZIEST MAN ON EART
Sea-Faring Man Discovers Him I
Person of Chief of the Solomon
Islands.
In all probability tbe laziest man 0
earth has been discovered by set
faring men who had occasion to sto
at the Solomon Islands of the Eat
Indies not long ago. Those islands at
inhabited by tribes of black me
known to the sailors as Kajiakas.
The ruler over the islands or Choii
ene and Caristoval is one of thes
Kanakas, known as Chief Sonoa. Tb
Kanakas are almost Invariably shot
and very heavily built, but Chief Sono
is the shortest and fattest one of tb
bunch, weighing in the neighborhoo
of 365 pounds. He is not only tb
blackest, fattest and laziest, but t
has more wives than any other chi!
In that neighborhood.
One of the sailors who visited the*
islands said that “his majesty woul
lie in the sands of the beach while hi
favorite wife would sit beside him am
smoke. She would draw a mouth fa
of the smoke into her lungs. The chie
would open his mouth, the favorlt
would blow the smoke into it and h
would Inhale it into his lungs, aft<
which he would let it pass out h!
nose. Time after time would the wif
chosen for this job blow the smok
Into her chiefs mouth, and time afte
time he would take it into his lungs t
let it pass out of bis nose. The t(
bacco used was the strongest tbs
could be had, and with it was roll*
some kind of leaf that would bring 01
sleep. A truly luxurious being is tbi
dusky king.”.
Sure of a Raise.
