Mr.. II. 2. Bacon was appointed

Kanoiliili, formerly filed by Ed

The two astronomers, Professors
AIarcuse and Preston, are having an
observatory constructed at Waikiki,
from which their observations will
ne made during their stay here.
Considerable interest is taken in
the opening of the road to the sum-

Capt. j. II. Brown celebrated the

revolution was on the tapis. The
shooter should be hauled in as a dis
turber of the quiet of the night.

Benson, Smith q Co. The fish from |
all appearance had its tail nipped |

The passengers who left by the

numerous than that steamer has
carried for some time. The tourists
