with the deposit of the stream and the wash of Mo-

cannot now float where a few years ago there was
twenty feet Of water.

measures taken for repairing the cistern.

Kawaihae says that maakG Of that place, lots of
okolehao, and makai lots of sour potato drink are

KoU TREEs.-The beautiful kou, which furnished
q remarkably rich-grsined furniture wood, and which
old residents remember as growing abundautly asa
shade tree on the seacoasts all over the islands, has
quite disappeared within the past ten OF fifteen years,
having been destroyed by a new insect enemy. A
few days since, a gentleman whose occupation called
him to the extreme low point Of land seaward from
Moanalua, discovered a thrifty young kou tree grow
ing in front of a native dwelling, on which were q
number of the bright yellox blossoms. It is 10 be
hoped that the kou will be again cultivated. What
