lish a medical :hool, however, it
might be feasible to organize an in
stitute of biology--.an institution
for original research into the subtle
growth and workings of living
things. A -well-equipped and en-
dowed laboratory for this purpose,
together with arran gements for
specialists to study leprosy and the
various forms of skin diseases,
brought thither by our hetero-'
geneous population, would be sure
TO attract trained specialists from
every part of Europe and America.
Not only would it attract distin-
guished scientists, but it would
open the purses of wealthy indi-
viduals and organized agencies for
the advancement of science.
In some peculiar respects, Homo
lulu occupies unique position for
purposes of scientific research. She
is situated in an isolated position,
two thousand miles from the near
est continent, in tropical ocean,
swarming with every variety OF
sea life. The aborigines of the
Kingdom are more than any other
people afflicted with. perhaps, one
of the oldest recorded and the most
loathsome of diseases. The capital
is of easy access from all parts Of
the world. The climate is such
that mere existence In it is {
pleasure. The scenery is I'm
equaled.
With all these incidental advant
ages, if we could have an institute
with spendidly equipped labora
tory, like that of DR.. Dohrn a
Naples, much benefit might com
of it. Hawaii is small, but she
not unimportant; and if we wish t
be known as civilized and en-
lightened folk, we should CIV
every facility to, and make ever.
effort for, the utilization of such gift
or donations as the outside worl
sees fit to contribute.

A NEW volume of this paper COM
mences to day, and, with it's first
issue, we greet our readers with a
HAPPY New YEAR, trusting that each
one will have many returns OF the
day. Some one has appropriately
called New Years Day the great
milestone of time. While there
are numerous other anniversaries
of lesser note, this is the record of
a worlds history, and though its
date varies in different countries, it
still remains the great milestone
of the worlds progress.
Prosperity has continued to bless
Hawaii in every branch of bust
ness, while we have escaped the
calamities of storms, epidemics and
fires which have visited nearly
every other country on the globe
The statistics of trade and com
merce for the new year now end
ing will, when published, show 8
steady growth in our leading IN
dustries. So long as this shall con
tinue, Hawaii will have no cause to
oo-aplaru, though ranking among
the smallest, but not the ieas
favored and honored, in the great
family of nations.
