WHERE 10 co,


honored custom, many of the citi-
zens of Honolulu will be taking a
trip to the Coast, or TO one of our
own islands, To recuperatc weary
bodies and jaded minds, and to cool
their heated brows in the bracing
air of upland and seaside retreats.
Many are anxious for the continent
tai tour, but are deferred owing to
the expense, and shortness of time
Mt their disposal. Persons of this
class may be able to command the
time and means for at least run to
some of the outlying localities of
the Island of Oahu itself. There
are on this island numerous spots
which are among the most attractive
ever bestowed by the hand of nature
upon any people. There are, on
the shores of this sea-girt isle, if
not Chelsea Beaches, Coney Islands,
Manhattan Beaches, Long Branches,
Cape Mays, Ne,cports, Brightons,
Baths, Loch Lomonds or KiUurmeys,
many resorts not less picturesque,
and certainly not less healthful and
fascinating; and all within forty
miles of Honolulu. Most of them
may be reached by good carriage
roads leading through charming
scenery. To those who prefer
transit by sea, a few hours
on the deck of u steamer or
sailing vessel will land them at
the most distant part of the island.
Sea-bathing can be enjoyed adj EJi-
tim; the mountain valleys offer
cool and shady retreats, while spark
ling brooks afford the disciples of
Ike Walton ample opportunities for
their favorite sport. In every direc-
ton, the tourist will be delighted
with variety of scenery, and can gaze
with unqualified admiration upon the
exuberance of tropical vegetation.
To those whose means or business
will not admit of more than week S
holiday, these available resorts may
prove to be of great advantage. A
short trip is sometimes more pro-
ductivc of pleasure than an ocean
voyage or transcontinental ride on
iron rails.
To all who can do it, we say, take
yourselves out of town, if only for a
couple of days. After inhaling,
from day to day, the concentrated
odors of some of our efficiently neg
lected city streets, to run at loose
heels for few days will rectify
your digestion better than three
months course of pharmacy diet,
and contribute more to your urba-
nifty than q dozen interviews with
the family physician. You will save
enough money, by the speculation,
at the beginning of the year, to pro-
vide for another visit at the end OF
it. If wife and children are among
your available assets, take them will
you. The change of air will tend tc
renew the vigor of your wife's
youth, and nothing is better for the
development of the juvenile mind thar
contact with new scenes, especially thu
object lessons of nature. Hawaii
nei will grow in your estimation
and this itself will add zest to what
ever enjoyment you have in life.
For the information of those wh'

tances from the capital, may be o
