The Likelike sailed away for Kahu-
lui yestern, with citizens not few.
IT'S well We have our scribe aboard
and he wotteth how to drive his witty
pencil after facts. When the Likelike
gently caresses the wharf anon, we will
welcome her with prose idyll that
will made her very inmates cry us stop
Yesterday set in with clustering
trades A little after eight o'clock
quite whirl-wind struck Fort street at
the corner of Hotel, filling the air in
the neighborhood with light debris for
some time. 1t was amusing to watch
pedestrians grab at their head gear as
they emerged from the lee side of some
building
The old Olympic building on Nuu-
anu street near the first bridge is being

1t is on dit that strong room is
about to be erected within the new
Chinese sanctum or Club House on
King street, in which the Celestial may
indulge in the use of the narcotic drug
to his hearts content without the inter-
ference of the marshal, deputy capt
ain, station-house keeper or policeman.
1t can be viewed from the Station
house veranda at present, but after the
inauguration of the ball, admission will
be limited to members only Chinese
spies and informers will have to look
elsewhere for living
Those who bath at Waikiki should
be careful about staying in the water too
long as it is dangerous indulgence in
this climate. Night before last Mr.. H.
M. Dow of the firm Of West, Dow K
Co., remained in water at Mr. Vests
place something over half an hour.
Soon after he came out he was pros
trated and became insensible, remain
ing in this condition for some time.
Brandy and other restoratives were ap-
piled and he finally revived sufficiently
to be taken home Yesterday he was
out but still remains weak and nervous.
The wind blew wahine across
the street it chased the mosquitoes a
thousand miles out to sea it made a
bellows of the circus tent it whistled
Yankee Doodle on the telephone wires;
it made the weather vanes dizzy headed;
it twisted dudes legs on Hotel street
and exposed the rear elevation of his
tailoring /; it blew down flour pots and
sifted dust into the meat safes; it chased
a contemporaries reporter down Fort
street and blew his item into the bay
it threw dust into Judge Bickerton's
eyes and finally blew itself over the
reef and disappeared.
Whrlwinds, waterspouts and many
other freaks of nature are common
occurrences in tropical climate, but
we learned yesterday for the first time
that local whirlwinds are liable to inter-
fere with local industries Contractor
L. b. Thomas informs us that at noon
yesterday the elements so disturbed the
lime, morter and bricks at the building
of the new Chinese Club House, also
the equinamity and equilibrium of the
workmen engaged thereon, including
the ''boss," that work had to be tenn
porarily suspended until nature re
stored the normal state of hardware
and humanity.
Yesterday afternoon, about halfpast
three O'clock, a young native woman
was run away with on the Palama road
1t seems that she mounted a young
horse against the wishes Of her mothel
and started to ride to her sisters house
about mile out of town. After she
reached the main road the horse be
came manageable, took the bit in hi
teeth and dashed along the road. HI
was stopped by Chinese laundry-mar
who fourished the large white cloth
} which covered his basket, in front 0
the animals eyes causing him to turn
suddenly which threw the native woman
to the ground but fortunately withou
iniurinp her
