l is the Hawaiian name of . small
fish that occasionally visits the shores OF this group,
coming in shoals, Its visits are capricious. fer they
lare not to be foretold. In some years these isb are
iextremely abundant in this harhor, and are zen in
Igrent numbers about the wharNes, with hook aud
Zine or with nets. When they abound, the natives
~prUphesy some portending event to their race. just
now, they are teing caught of the Esplanade, bat

which on examination appear to be those ol chick
ems. or other similar sized birds. The question Is.
how did they get there. and hUw many years would
it require tor the soil to accumulate TO that depth.
At twenty feet, a strata OF earth and rolnd. smooth
pebbles was found, indicating the bed Il an ancient
brook. - i
HEAVY RAINS on LANAI.-We learn that this ISL
and has had IN extraordinary season of wet weather.
Heavy rains get in on the I'D ult., and have contln-
ued up 10 the Sd inst. On the 18th OF July an extern
dve lake was formed in Palawai valley. Tn sc rains
are remarkable as being confined 10 the eastern por-
ton and elevated valleys, where MIR. Gibson has
planted groves of "Prile of India aud such a fall
OF rain under the circumstances confirms It's opinion
of the attractive influence of forests upon passing
clouds surcharged with moisture; since his wooded
lands are dreuched with superabundmt water,
whilst the other bare portions of the island are suf-
fering with droutb. -
4 SERIOUS AccIDEET.-On Monday morning last,
Mrs. ". G.. Poole, with a Chinese servant. started in
q buggy from Kukui street to come down town. The
horse took fright at an umbrella and ran away, and
turning suddenly the corner of Fort street, the occu-
pants of tie buggy we're thrown violently cut on the
rough stones. Mrs. Poole was considerably but not :
seriously injured, but the Chiuaman. who was a
WeIl-known and valued house servant, died on Thurs
day from the injuries received. In this co nection
no m a ~ raDnark that paraong ubo hriva nafira h0rSoO
TO harness, SHOULD remember that they are very
liable to take frig t and become manageable, and
that extra caution should be used in their manage

I Is THE CoUNTRY-Nuw Is the time when all who
have the means. the leisure and the taste to enjoy
the rpvivIng air OF he country. are improving the
dull season by going somewhere out of town.
Waikiki. Eva. and h"olan. each have their visitors.
aud even a ride to the Pail introduces one to a dit
irrent climate from that OF sultTy. sun baked Ho-
nolulu. Now is the time for a trip to the volcano.
