NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Our town has been remarkably
quiet considering the large influx of
strangers in our midst. The weather
has been simply perfect and court
business has gone on uninterruptedIy
to the end. There will be a great
lull in our business for few days,
giving us all time to rest and get
ready for new start.
On Friday evening the band be-
longing to the Catholic School sere-
made | Hon. Paul Neumann and 9th
ers at the residence of Hon. j. Il.
Baker. Perhaps it is not generally
known outside of our town, that we
have here two quite fair bands, one
belonging to the Hilo Boarding
School and the other to the Catholic
School. They are both deserving
of praise, for the proficiency which
they slew in the use of their instru-
ments, not having the instruction Of
professional band master.
We noticed that a number of the
Bar attended church last Sunday,
and we hope the good beginning
will be carried out indefinitely.
THE VOLCANO.
Mr.. Maby from the Volcano re-
ports: That the Volcano is very ac-
tive, the center of which activity
lies around the center cone. That
cone has sunk, within the last two
weeks, about 100 it,, and it appears
now as though in the near future it
will he wholly undermined and will
disappear into the lake and leave an
immense lake including Dana, the
Little Elephant and other lakes.
There have been several eruptions
IN different places ON the floor of the
crater, which of itself is indicative
of great activity. We shall expect,
before many months, great changes
in the crater and possibly an out
break in Kan.
