both claims. II would appear probable that
even in ancient times there were some boun-
DAIRY lines left indefinite.
Another description Of evidence introduced
ls the recital in sundTy awards Of kuleanas
that were in or adjacent 70 Keauhou OF 10
Paakea. Whatever Is the force Of these re-
citals, there are some on both sides Of the
case. But we do not consider them con-
elusive. They are descriptions incorporated
IN the survey, made by surveyors, ex parte.
and without necessarily implying investiga
ton. The surveys being then incorporated in
the awards, do not import that the Board Of
Land Commissioners determined that these
collateral descriptions were correct, and that
the land named as adjacent was in fact such
land.
The evidence goes to show that Kskua-
uaoa remanded in possession oftho disputed
territory, ard during series Of years enjoy
ed the usufruct Of the land; which was chief
ly loose stone taken and sold for ships bal
last.
The facts that at one time the female pri-
soners were kept at this location, and that in
1883 there was government small pox hos
| pital on the land do not contrOvert the claim
Of private ownership. Kekuanaoa was the
Governor Of Oahu, and in many respects he
governed after old time methods. II would
not have been inconsistent with him to have
kept the women on premises of bis own, or
his wards, or to have furnished a site for a
pest house on a remote little valued piece Of
her private property. There was an emer-
gency and this location was suitable. In like
manner in the year 1881 small pox hospital
was erected on this site 10y the permission Of
the late Ruth Keelikolani, then holding this
estate. Neither docs it seem to US conclusive
against this being held as private property
that the buildings had been removed from au
adjacent location upon the objection Of the
owner, and presumably were moved to a
location belonging 10 the government. Thew
were removed 10 a location belonging 10 or
controlled by the governor, who as a large
land holder could grant such privilege.
Upon-consideratiou Of all the testimony,
which is volunrinous, and Of the carefully
prepared decision of the Boundary Commis-
sioner, we are of opinion that the decision
should be reversed, and that the boundary Of
Paakea be as claimed by the petitioners and
set forth in their map aud survey.

DtJO'e Jhdd L. j. MeCWiy aud Austin !, j.,
Opinion Of the Court by MeCidly j.
BY appeal from the Boundary Commissioner
Of Oahu. The application for settlement Of
boundaries is made by Mrs. Bernice Pauahi
Bishop, her husband joining in the petition.
The claim of the petitioners is opposed by the
Government in respect TO the boundary line on
the Western, that is the Honolulu side of the
land
The determination Of the controversy de-
pehds mainly on the finding as to what may be
termed an issue, namely whether the disputed
territory falls within the Iii of Keauhou or
the Iii of Paakea, both being Ills or ancient
divisions of waikiki.
The Iii Of Keauhou was awarded 10 Hau-
meS pursuant to the "Mahele" or division of
lands between the King and Chiefs, and the
award issued by surveyed metes and bounds.
This surveyed grant does not include the dis
puted territory. By the authority of the case
of the Boundaries Of Rsscalo, ID Haw Rep.
p. o, Haumea, having accepted for the Iii Of
Keaahou certain surveyed premises would be
precluded from claiming anything more as be-
longing to Keauhou. No claim is made on
behalf Of Haumea, but it is commended that if
in fact his surveyed boundaries did not enclose
all which belonged to Keauhou by its ancient
boundaries, the remnant would belong to the
Government as unawarded land. It is correct
in our opinion that the question for deter
minaiion is what are the boundaries Of Paakea
as held in ancient times. But the taking of
the limited award for Keauhou has an i'm
portant bearing on the case in view of the
circumstances attending it. The land Of Paa-
kea, whatever its extent might be was the
property of the Princess Victoria KamamaIu,
whose guardian was the late Governor Ke-
kuanaoa, her father. The testimony of the
witnesses on both parts is that between Ke-
kuanaoa and Haumea there was a dispute as
to the possession and ownership Of the land
now in controversy. Haumea was q chief Of
low degree, belonging to the Island Of Ha-
waii. The witnesses generally describe the
attitude Of Haumea rs maintaining a claim,
but relinquishing it upon the urgency Of Ke-
kuanaoa, giving it up, some say, on account
Of regard for Kamamalu. The testimony il
that Kekuanaoa claimed il as being Paakea.
and Haumea as being Keauhou. We have no
reason TO think that Kekuanaoa claimed land
which was clearly and undisputably known
to be keauh0u. With all the weight and force
Of his strong character he could not have
coerced such a surrender. Keauhou having
been awarded to Haumea he was secure 10
his right 10 whatever was inclnded therein, If
it was well known. The fact that be absp-
doned bis claim is pregnant circumstance 10
show that there was at least an uncertainty
about the boundary. The character Of the
lind, as we have had occasion to remark in
in some other boundary cases may have &C.
clsioued this uncertainty. The land was mol
Of the kind which was applied to valuable
uies in ancient times, and indeed most Of it is

st. Louis October THE Mis-.
souri, River Commission, consist.
ing of Maj. Smith, president, Maj.
Mckenzie and Ernest, and Messrs.
Broadhead and Broach, met here
to-day to consider plans of the
work. Lieut.. Flick, of the engineer
corps, who has been made secreta.
ry Of the board, arrived to-day
from Galveston, and assumed his
duties. At a previous meeting
Maj. Suter's general plan of opera
tions was adopted. This is to
bring the Missouri to q uniform
width, strengthen its banks and
reclaim the lowlands over which
the river usually spreads. The
work ofthe commission is confined
to that part of the river below
Sioux City, aud the width decided
upon below Kansas City is 1900
feet. Above that point it will be
less. No details were definitely
agreed upon,nor will there be until
the commission examine the field
of their work. The entire COM
mission will leave for Kansas City,
tomorrow, where they will exam
inc the plans proposed to protect
the banks of the river there. Ex.
Mayor Butler of Kansas City, and
DIR. Arthur, of Wyandotte, KY,
were before the commissioners
and drew their special attention
to several points where the river
was making serious inroads, great.
~ to the injury of the interests of
the cities they represent. No ac-
tual work will be done until the
commissioners return and formu-
late definite plans.

In taking walk few days since,
accompanied by my daughter, we came
across a Natural curiosity, which may
not interest you, but it seemed to me so
uncommon thought it worthy of note.
In the north part of Aver, Mass, there
is a rock which measures by 4 l-2 feet
and stands four feet in height and must
weigh several tons; under this rock is
a ledge which rises some two feet from
the surface. This rock is so nicely bal
anced on its foundation that with one
finger it may be rocked with ease, after
| started it to rocking, my daughter,
with her little finger kept it in motion
for some time. If this rock could talk
me-thinks it would say it was one of the
oldest rockers on earth. | know moi
who first discovered it: but have lived
in this place almost thirty years and il
is but recently first heard it mentions ed
and having curiosity to see it, ven.
tured to search for it. and was well
paid for my trouble. Let the old fel
