NATIVES OF THE PACIFIC
NEW ZEALAND PROFESSOR'S INVESTIGATIONS. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, August 23. A message from Seattle states tha Professor Macmillan Brown, Chancellor of the University of New Zealand, has returned there. He is studying islands and stretches of the mainland of the North Pacific coast with the object of investigating the origin of natives of the Pacific Ocean. The Professor’s researches confirm the findings of Cook, Vancouver, Potlock and other early explorers. He stated he believed that because the coast Indians did not make pottery or grow cereals they came to America hundreds of years before the Indians. He declared that he found a close resemblance between the coast Indians, the Harwaiians and the Maoris of his own country.
