can DO so by riding out 10 Puuahou College. Along
the north wall of the premises. on the road leading
to Mauoa, Is q row Of a dozen or more of them
now in full bloom, the spiral stalks stretching up
some forty or fifty feet in height. and covered with
flowers. 1t Is seldom so many Of them are seen

ATTORNEY GENERM~-Stephcn II. Phillips. Esq,
arrived in the bark .Smyrniote, having been invited
10y this Government to take the Office of Attorney
General. His commission was signed by the King
on Wednesday, and he has assumed the duties of
his new Office. Mr.. z. has been Attorney General
of the State of Massachusetts during the admins
tration of Gov. Andrew, and brings with him a
high reputation as one of the ablest lawyers of that
State. Besides the misfortune of entering upon his
Office under the auspices of L very unpopular Min
istry, he has to labor under the disadvantage of y
want OF knowledge of the Hawaiian language.

Hawaiians should possess. Time and industry can
remove this disability, and We trust the selection
Will prove 4 judicious one for the government.

Et- Hot as the MONDAY sun is here. it is not so
s~corching as it was, at the last reports, in Allan
tic cities. There the thermometer ranged from 100
to 10 IN the SHADE! Think of it at 1902, day after
day. in Boston. No wonder that 2S5 deaths were
reported in New York from sun stroke. Here the
thermometer rarely rises in our hottest weather to
over 30 in the shade. The last few days have been
unusually warm. as the trade winds have been light.
but we have not observed the mercury above Sc
at any time. So our good people may be thankful
for the mild weather they enjoy, although they
have no ice to temper the heat with.
