BALLOON ASCENSION.

A PlucIy Ascent of Prof. L. L. Mel
vile, the Aeronaut, in Kohala.
The following letter was received from
Prof. Melville Wednesday:
A large crowd of the foreign and ma
tive residents of the above district as
sembled to witness Prof. E. L. Melville
ascend, shortly after 3 p. m. in his bal
loon America" from Waimea on Satur-
day August 10th. Previous to the as
cension the balloon unfortunately took
fire, burning hole in it large enough to
admit horse. However, that did not
prevent the aeronaut from making a
successful ascension, notwithstanding
the request of the crowd to abandon the
attempt. When up about 1000 feet the
hoop surrounding the bottom of the bal
loon broke, greatly to the CONSERVATION
of the assembled people. The aeronaut
then cody hung by his toes, and fling
ing down his cap managed to alight
safely, receiving only few bruises several
miles from the point OF ascent. The
residents of the district wished to wit
ness second ascension, and had offered
to subscribe good purse to the aero
naut; but, owing to the Professor hav-
ing to meet the next outward bound
steamer ia order to fulfil engagements in
America, he was unable to make an
other aerial flight. The highest alti-
tude reached was something over 5000
feet

In reference to a letter written by

BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING.
Statement of Expenditn pre- at the Boys
Home and Bishops Home, MoIokai.

Statement of EXpendit pre- at the Boys
Home and Bishops Home, MoIokai.
The Board met on Monday the 10th
inst. at the usual hour, and the chief
matters considered were Mr.. R. W.
Meyers statements regarding the Boys
Home and Bishops Home at the leper
settlement-First is condensed state
ment of the number OF inmates and ex-
penses OF the BOYS Home at Kalawao,
for period OF twelve months from its
commencement, from August LIST, 1888
to July 3lst, 1S89-in charge of the late
Rev Father Damien and, subsequently,,
the Rev. Sister Merianne, assisted by
Mr.. j. Dutton."
The statement referred to, shows the
daily average of inmates to have been
within traction of 81, and the consump-
ton CT food and articles of use during
the fiscal year, cost the total amount
OF s., 553 %; the clothing cost 1899 IS !;
utensils and sundries are estimated at
500 and the expenses of management,
labor and sundrv services $1l93 10
the total expense for the home during the
year being S5,S45 So and the cost per
capita was $50 81. 1t is noted that the
cost of the BOYS home exceeds that of
the Bishops home, and this is accounted
Tor by the advancing illness of the late
Father Damien. There is now, however,
q very large reduction in the cost per
capita.
Second. The statement regarding the
Bishops Home is a condensed report of
that institution for girls and unprotected
females at the Leper Settlement in
charge Of the Rev. Sister Merianne, COW
ering a period of six months from its
opening on Feb. LIST, 1889 to July 3lst,"
OF the same year. The average daily
number OF inmates, during the six
months, was 491s The consumption of
food and other articles consumed cost$624-
50 ;clothing S20l 80 utensils $25 manage
ment $40; servants $250-making the
total cost OF the Bishops Home $1440 SO;
and the cost per capita for the six
months 500 SO.
1t Is obvious that any Increased num-
Der of inmates would decrease the cost
per capita, and the above named amount
of $40 SO, for six months, or $50 &c
yearly, cannot be said to be high rate
per capita.
The two reports, in their varied details,
were approved by the Board of Health;
and theyappear to us very satisfactory
exhibits OF the institutions under notice.

THE VOLCANO.
Great Activity in the Crater-The New
Road, Etc.

Great Activity in the Crater-The New
Road, Etc.
A letter received by the Kinau Wednes-
day, from gentleman in Hilo, states:
ri returned from visit to Kilauea last
Friday, the 10th inst, and found great
activity in the crater-Halemaumau Is
again rising, and there is one long lake
of fire at its base. The entire floor Of
the crater seems to be moving and
changing levels, and the register at
the Volcano House shows largely in
creased number of visitors. The in
crease is doubtless owing to nearly one
third of the new road from Hilo being
finished for vehicular travel, leaving
only about twenty miles of horseback
riding over good path on which there
are no pals or anything approaching to
steep grades, and the surrounding
scenery and climate are OF the most de-
lightful kind There is water enough
for horses at short intervals along the
track, and there are native houses every
few miles. Scarcely any tourists now
prefer the shorter and rougher track by
way of Keauhou, because the six miles
of difference in length is compensated
for by greater convenience and very
much more agreeable road by the new
highway from Hilo. In less than
another month, expect the new. road
will be finished beyond the Hallway
House and within fourteen miles of the
Volcano. Then the whole travel will go
by the new road, and the Keauhou
route must be and indeed is now discon-
tinued for tourist travel, from inanition.
The new wharf at Hilo is giving great
satisfaction, and this is another reason
why the new road is becoming already
so popular. A new bridge is being
constructed at the ponds on the first
mile of the road, and various other i'm
provements are being made at the Hilo
end. 1t has already become fashion
able drive, and bids fair TO be the
"Rotten Row" of the southern capital
riding, driving and walking upon the
newly made highway being now com
mon and much enjoyed. OF course,
Hilo wants properly conducted hotel
and, were the people as progressive as in
most American communities, local
newspaper to advocate the interests of
the district, would have been estab-
lished long ago; but when the new road
to the Volcano is finished, new blood
may be expected to settle here and the
dry bones will be stirred considerably,
although they hold to the city allot-
ments with an aimless grasp SO far"

HILO NEWS LETTER.
Japanese and Chinese Matters-Personal
Mention, Etc.

Mention, Etc.
One of our popular Deputy Sherifs
has resigned, to fill the vacancy of pay
master of the Volcano Road, R.W Lane
having resigned. Mr.. G. J. Stevens, the
new paymaster, known in Hilo by the
title of His Official Dignity" was
pleased to receive the appointment, and
will make good man for the position, |
believe.
Another Chinaman has been arrested,
who was wanted in the Honomu murder
case. The murderer of Anderson, it is
believed, will be found yet.
Mr.. Frank w. Damon gave at First
Foreign Church on the 18th inst. an in
teresting account of his work among the
Chinese generally. 1t was listened to
with marked attention, and contained
much instruction regarding the Chinese
mission.
The Japanese school is increasing rap
idly in numbers. The new missionary,
Mr.. John Okabe, is a great favorite with
his countrymen; but the difficulty seems
to be to get enough teachers at all times.
There were forty-fve Japanese present
at school on the 18th inst.
Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Severance, and
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. i. Furneux, have gone
to their summer residence, four miles
from Hilo, on the rock bound coast
where the waves dash high.
The Church Sociable of the Hilo For
eign Church was held at the house of
Mr.. Henry Porter on the 18th inst.
We want more rain in Hilo district
call not Hilo, Rainland, any longer.
The Japanese bad grand time at
Waiakea on the 18th inst. Japanese
music and Japanese tricks, dancing, re-
freshments, ETC., and they had Silva, the
Hilo photographer, there to take views to
send home to their friends in Japan.

A Rich and Timely Donation.

On his return from Hawaii last week
Rev. DR.. c. NJ. Hyde was surprised
to find on his desk, awaiting his return,
a check for one thousand dollars--an
unsolicited gift from Hon. Charles R.
Bishop, to aid in the maintenance OF the
North Pacific Theological Institute, of
which the doctor is principal. The Insti-
tute was greatly in need OF funds, and
the unexpected gift will relieve bur
den, and help to cheer those engaged in
instructing the students in this worthy
but poorly supported Hawaiian Semin-

PORTUGUESE POLITICAL OPINIONS.

An Editorial Article From the sLuso
Hawaiiano" of August 18th, in which
the Editor asks-''WH They Continue
TO be PrOtected?"
"Ho Fon, editor of the Chinese news
paper of this city, was arrested last We'd
nesday, for completely in the late insur-
rection, and is accused of the crime Of
treason. 1t is probable that arrests are
now being made of other Chinese.
Will the pro-Chinese gentleman of the
reform, which constitutes the present
government, still continue to advocate
the cause OF their Celestial proteges,
since having reason to believe that they
took part in planning the destruction Of
their government.
What do they think of the return
which they are now receiving? Moth
ing less was to have been expected.
We rejoice to see our Portuguese, (who
constitute an enormous colony in this
archipelago, and which in spite of be-
ing the most useful is the least favored,
and whose importance to these islands
not all yet realize), SO far from being
suspected in the late instruction, hav-
ing on the contrary, many of them left
their homes, and taken rifle in defence
of the government, at the risk of losing
their own lives and of leaving their
wives unprotected and their children
orphans.
How many Chinese and Japanese,
who bring no good to these islands ex-
cept to the pocket OF half dozen influen-
tial tock-jobbers, grasped a weapon in de-
fence of the Hawaiian Government?
Nobody saw one who did.
The general elections are approach
ing, and with them approaches the
opening of the Parliament; and we are
going to see what will become of
