Nh. EDITOR AS this is the season for that deli
cious fruit, the pine apple. l feel constrained to say
a word on the subject, if haply l may thereby remove
the prejudice which exists in the minds of many, par
ticularly physicians. against the free use of it.
l have been acquainted with the pine apple for
many years and have used it freely, and can safely
say that it is one of our most harmless fruits, pro-
vided it be eaten properly. The juice only should
be admitted to the stomach and the pulp rejected en-
tirely, as fit only for crocodiles and ostriches. l have
known a lady who could take frequently the juice of
a whole apple with impunity. and nothing is more
grateful to an invalid than a slice or two of the fruit
with a sprinkling of white sugar; care should be
taken, however, not to swallow the pulp. DIR. Max
well, of the Cyanne, remarked when here, that he
would sooner give it to invalids than water melon.
1 am inclined to think that the reason physicians
are such enemies to the fruit, is because they are not
acquainted with it Let them Try it for themselves,
and watch its effects on others, and I have no doubt
they will change their views. AN OLD RESIDENT.

LAHAISA, August 9th, 1897.
S,R The influenza or 8 boohoo' as some people
call it, has proved more fatal with us than 1t has
been with you in Honolulu, as we have had several
who have died though their own carelessness, for just
as soon as the get the fever. they take to the water,
and will not go by the directions the doctors give
them. Our town looks now ike the "Deserted
Village we read about. learn they have the fever
still over in East Maui, as well as in the sea port
towns. 1t is very hot in the middle Of the day. but
cool and pleasant in the nights. In going around
the town, 1 find they are cleaning up and getting
ready for the fallDeason, and we are also to have two
dance houses going. So you see we are keeping up
with the times. except in public improvements, which
is all being done in Honolulu; but we POOR outsiders
must abide our time, and wait. 1 suppose, until our
turn comes Every year the Legislature votes US
money for building the breakwater, repairing the
roads, building the water works, market, court house,
&c. &C., and that in the last of it. IDthe condition
the breakwater now is, it would have been better
never to have commenced it, doing now more injury
than good. How is it that all those shanties and
sheds are allowed to be built up on the edge Of the
fort land down by the landing in this town. For my
part I do not think they are much Of an ornament to
the town any how.

dILo, July 5U, 1901.
Mr. EDIroR "A one o'clock this morning, our
slumbering town was startled by a smart earthquake.
Of course most wen frightened. One poor man
thought he was 'gone for" another awoke clinging
to his bed clothes and feeling around to see if the
house was left standing while a third, thinking that
some one was knocking at the corner Of the house,
authoritively commanded the offender to cease. One
unfortunate lady woke screaming, thinking the last
day had come, while a few, less nervous, lay and
enjoyed the shock, expressing the hope that they
might have another good shake the following night
The motion Yves very jerking, and it was a severe
shock. There have been here only four slight shocks
previous to this, since the eruption two years ago,
although on some other parts Of this Island 49,
have been more and heavier.
1 had the good fortune O few days since TO examine
a list of earthquakes kept for twenty-three years by
one Of our residents, and which is perfectly correct
During this period, there have been ninety-nine
shocks. We will copy notices of the principal ones
October 13, 1888. One at three P. NJ. rather
heavy; motion up and down."
February 10, 1884. A shock SO heavy as to
throw down stone walls, upset things inEhe hoOe,
and throw off the cream from milk in pans"
december y, 1888. A tremendous shock at one
P. NJ. So great was the conflict for a few seconds, it
seemed as though the ulSSOiutl8n u u IL HdtuIc hou
begun. Stone walls thrown down, and plastering a
good deal cracked
"April 7, 1871. The most severe shock we ever
felt, at quarter before twelve. Chimney cracked,
stone walls Frustrated, plastering broken and thrown
down, milk thrown out of the pans, and water throTn
out of a pail a little more than half full. Motion
undulating north and SOUTH"
But when we say there have been so many shocks,
we convey a wrong impression to those with whom
the idea of an earthquake is associated with those
terrific ones that occur on the South American coast
and other places. An ordinary earthquake of Hawaii
is merely a slight jar, just enough to be recognized
as a quake, and perhaps to startle a person and give
him something to talk about, which, in these dull
times, is no undesirable event If one were to occur
in Honolulu it would be no harm, if attended with
like results; at any rate so think some OF the
PEOPLE Or HILo.
